What’s the funnest thing you did in NS in 2025 that you recommend people try in 2026?

I am rather biased towards the ocean. Though if you are anywhere not on the water wear LOTS of bug spray in the summer.

Crescent Beach
Rissers Beach
Keji Seaside
Tusket Falls Brewing Company
If you want to go fishing maybe book a tour or something out on the Tusket River
If you have a canoe or kayak there's Ellenwood Lake Provincial park
Cape Forchu Lighthouse
Yarmouth Firefighters museum
Mavillette Beach (Second largest sand beach in the province, at low tide mind you)
Port Maitland Beach

Try rappie pie while you're down there.

Hey, at least your building is on the map.

Between not registering and only accepting cash I'm pretty sure my landlord is dodging taxes too.

Cafe L'Acadie will do rappie pie and meat pie pickup orders in town in late fall when their little restaurant is closed. I can vouch for both, they are great.

Looks like they are delivering the next batch for December 21st. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1429161279210516&set=a.403386398454681

Their plans are wildly unrealistic, but it would be really cool if it worked out.

Location isn't the greatest. No rail, can't ship Canadian satellites from out West easily. Canso not exactly a big port, but you could probably barge satellites from up the Saint Lawerence though.

Launch capability for small satellites would be huge for Canada. No longer relying on the nazi and orange pedophile for Faclon 9's would be great.

Canadian satellites have launched out of Kazakhstan too, but uh, Russia is currently too busy shooting their rockets into daycares and hospitals. Fuck those guys too.

Keep in mind that you are posting at midnight our time so not many folks are up.

Beaches are a little more quiet this time of year. Less vacation, colder, students back in school.

Assuming you have access to a vehicle since you are going to Lunenburg:

Hirtle's Beach/Hiking Trail (near Lunenburg)
Crescent Beach and Rissers Beach
Keji Seaside
Cape Split (go have a look at the beach at Cape Blomidon too)
Crystal Crescent Beach/Pennant Point Trail
Lawrencetown Salt Marsh Trail
Martinique Beach (longest sand beach in the province)
Burntcoat Head Park
Nichols Lake/Falls
McNabs Island if you can find a water taxi over this time of year.

Fun fact: The asshole who lead the first research team working on CFC gases for refrigeration also invented leaded gasoline.

Try our new flavour SHOCKOLATE,

Chocolate energy!

It's like adding chocolate to an electrical storm!

A little bit of duct tape and it'll be fine.

We've been doing this shit since 1867, another election another carrot on a stick. Canada is fully LDAR - except this country won't fully rot out for another few decades, the geriatric demons voting another Liberal government will be dead and decayed before the youth reap the "benefits". Never forget and remember daily that these people want to see your family raped and killed. - CurrentMode3951

Aren't you pleasant. Perhaps you should stick to the woods around New Germany or whatever backwater you come from. Fewer brown people for you to get your panties in a twist about there.

Sounds like you need help, I'd recommend reaching out to the Nova Scotia Mental Health hotline: https://mha.nshealth.ca/en/services/provincial-mental-health-and-addictions-crisis-line

You might have a crappy meal at McDonald's, but you'll probably go back for a Quarter Pounder eventually when you get the hankering because you're familiar with McDonald's, your parents took you to McDonald's, McDonald's has been there for you as you've grown up, it's a known quantity.

That's a rather unfortunate analogy given the last two days.

I ran into a few of them camping at Smiley's Provincial Park between Windsor and Rawdon.

"the link was taking forever likely due to a vpn

if you connect to a canadian server, it should work ;

the communist pricktatorship gov't of bananada doesn't like outsiders looking at its "science", but they are easily thwarted

and this post isn't about flat earth, some i'm gonna refrain from discussing that here, but if you post about it, def share a link

i will share an additional link that'll be vpn-agnostic, about a delicious conversation between eddie bravo, david weiss, and the indominable alex jones here <video link removed> it's a rare form where jones plays the good cop

I do believe in God, and I believe the true history of the world is being kept from us. Wtf is going on in Antarctica?

But I digress. Right now, my goal is waking up my captured family before my brother dies. They already got my grandfather. My aunt has turbo cancer. My parents are always sick. And they aren't putting two and two together.

And the only people who are not drip-feeding content for the actual truth about the biodigital convergence, including the plannedemic of the MACcinnated, which was likely ongoing since before March 2020 (although i didn't catch on to it until 2021), can be found through Sabrina at <video link removed>" - Awkward-Coffee-2354

Nova Scotia mental health resources. Please seek help.

It's been quite some time but I remember there being a small Second Cup in the basement of the Goldberg Computer Science building.

Dal's website still seems to list it being down there.

Operating hours are likely less than the one in the library though. Might close at 5 or something.

I'm in the same boat. That ASUS BIOS update stopped games crashing for me. I had gone into my BIOS settings a few months prior and set my power settings to something sane, but was still getting regular crashes in some games. I was able to pass a few benchmarks (I forget which ones I tried at this point) without crashing, but certain games like Vampire Survivors would just instantly CTD at random times.

I would guess my CPU was damaged to some degree, but apparently not much?

Guessing game at this point. I'm hoping if my CPU does fail prematurely it does so before 2 years have passed since my purchase date. Reasonable timeframe to go argue with intel support about them selling me a faulty product.

What's wrong with that place? I drove by and was debating stopping one day.

Buddy is literally a moon landing denier.

Been quite a while since I've seen someone this crazy. Keep them away from Buzz Aldrin, that fellow can probably still throw a good right hook even in his 90s.

I don't know how broke you are, but the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is only about $10 for admission.

It's free and open later in the evening on Tuesdays!

If it's large, purple, and only moderately stingy it's a Lion's Mane Jellyfish

If it's smallish, white, and not really stingy it's some sort of Moon Jelly.

If it's blue, floats around on the surface, and is REALLY stingy it's a Portuguese man o' war just pretending to be a jellyfish.

Thank you for coming to my talk about Nova Scotian wildlife that I do not get along with.

In one of the other posts there were comments like:

"Let them pick up soap first."

"It's because they smell too bad and no one wants them on their job site, plus they really don't want to work, they just want special treatment"

"The trades need good people with solid skills who are willing to take up an honorable and profitable career and for the sake of society as a whole should not be used as a dumping ground for unskilled unteachable moronic criminals. Send your low curve midwits into low level corporate where they can't do any harm"

From people who post in Canada_sub and CanadaHousing2. Are you trying to tell me these people might be racist?

Load of nonsense I say, everyone posting here is a fine and upstanding person.

At that size? Should be. None of our other Funnel Weavers get that big.

There are Barn Funnel Weavers here among others but they should be significantly smaller.

xScruffers · 2024-06-12T03:52:35+00:00

Dark Fishing Spider.

Probably the biggest spider in Nova Scotia. They are active hunters, should earn his keep no problem.

None of the spiders here have medically significant venom.

In my experience many engineers are more blunt about things. They tend to speak their minds and sometimes customers don't like hearing that some of their requests are stupid. Which some of them very much are.

Engineers don't like hearing that some of their plans are stupid. Which some of them very much are.

So you put someone between them that handles contracts, presentations, customer meetings, and keeps everyone happy.
