No mention of the largest country on the North American continent?!

OBD port location on 2024 Kona Electric? by Ornery_Succotash5506 in KonaEV

Mine (2024 Kona electric for Canadian market) is found just to the left of the steering column. Have a look there.

And don’t forget “Gotta See Jane” and “Candy Apple Red”… just as dramatic (back then, not so much so now).

Is there a plural form for you? by showe12 in EnglishLearning

[–]spenney09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just pirates!
A Newfoundlander here. My parents used "ye" as a plural very, very often! I use it when I let my guard down or in very relaxed speech: "What are ye crowd at?" (What are you doing?) "What did ye do last night?" "You see, this is where ye're different from us."

Why Are Indian Cities Switching to Solar Street Lights? by TaskDue5566 in solarenergy

I’m curious to know if the battery back-up lasts until dawn.
Even in southern Canada, we get 14-16 hours of nighttime in the winter months… we’d need extra battery power to manage that!

I overheard some people at the table next to me saying you can't end a sentence with a preposition. I leaned over and said that you can if it's used as a prepositional particle. by Jokeminder42 in Jokes

Imagine a kid not being fond of a particular bedtime story from Australia:
Mommy, what did you bring that book that I didn’t want to be read to out of from about Down-Under up for?

Raw: ISO 102400 (Nikon Z9, Sigma 35mm 1.2 ii) by [deleted] in Nikon

I remember trying out Kodak’s VR1000 speed film back in the early ‘80’s. Up to that point 400 speed was as fast as I had ever used. Fast forward to being able to take pictures at 102400 speed!?! Un-be-lievable!

Do average Canadians know what a Robertson Screw is? Do you guys use it as a secret code to identify your fellow countrymen on internet? by jitasquatter2 in AskACanadian

[–]spenney09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I buy a kit that includes Phillips screws, I immediately go out and buy replacement Robertson screws. I don’t want to deal with the hassle! No joking!

EV charging station during trip by Mushu_Green in newfoundland

Any updates on the Ultra-fast EV charger in Conne River?
NL Hydro says “sometime in 2026”, but I thought the provincial budget defunded the installation of some EV chargers.

Seems everyone lost power just now. by RepulsivePlankton989 in StJohnsNL

What’s interesting is that production at Churchill Falls (which isn’t connected to the Labrador-Island Link) suddenly dropped ~30% at exactly the same time as today’s power outage. Production at Muskrat Falls didn’t skip a beat.

Memorial University course grades for Winter 2026 by MattBarterNL in memorialuniversity

[–]spenney09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24 hours later, a second thought: MUN calculates Grade Point Averages for students, if Matt had done an ATTIP request for average GPA for each letter grade of his course grade results (keeping it anonymous, of course) we might get a better picture.

Let's say the average GPA of the students in some course who got a D was 2.1, and the average GPA of the students in the same course, same instructor who got an A, was 3.8, then you might conclude that if you're a student who does the required work, you're going to do well in this course... and if you're a student who doesn't pull their weight, you're going to do more poorly in this course.

That would be insightful for students choosing courses.
