One downfall to time-of-day energy rates was having to update half a dozen more clocks that would otherwise lose me money.

Not quite pump track season yet but not too far off either. (Almost tempted to bring down a shovel)

Only six months remaining of daily trips into Burnside for daycare and then I can banish it from my memory.

For extra context he's now the Chair of the Treasury and Policy Board of the NS PC Party, who, it just so happens, are currently making huge cuts to arts and cultural funding (among other large cuts) in the province.

Was writing my MLA (Halman) an email and found it ironic when I came across several sources saying he joined politics in part due to his displeasure with the NS film credit being cut 10 years ago.

Think about it in terms of airport visits per dollar - and then imagine airport visits as a positive...

It was simply too nice out today to let the fact we didn't bike to school keep us from biking home from school.

Recently downloaded Uride and Qobuz to replace my US-based ride-sharing and music streaming apps. Any other recommendations in that vein?

It'll add to traffic when parents are forced to drive extra trips or legs of trips to drop their kids off different places.

Have been waiting on a car appointment for 6-weeks, of course today. Roads weren't bad but Kempt sidewalk wasn't touched so that was fun to walk along.

Got my kids home just as the storm started in earnest, hopefully everyone else isn't far behind.

Deleted the Facebook and Instagram apps last week (admittedly kept Messenger and have been on the website since). But uhh I feel like more people would be offended by this feature than would want it?

Laughs nervously in Dartmouth.

Though I realized as I posted it, it's not net expenditure, for example, Transit brings in $84M to offset a portion of its cost.

I could be wrong, but after a quick look at last years budget docs, isn't it basically this?

Also one of the best parts of commuting by bike.

Just have to commit and throw boos in the comments on people's updates. New job? Booo. Congratulations to a peer? Booo.

Couple hours later... honestly pretty surprised Mexico isn't included here, has he not played the game before?

I've played enough Risk to know that if the US takes Greenland, they're going to want Canada and Mexico next to get the completed continent bonus.

Just freed a car stuck outside my place but watching the way they fishtailed driving away it may have been safer for everyone when they were stuck...

Swarmed by ducks in Shubie on our commute home yesterday, hadn't seen any really during the cold streak. These ones were definitely looking to be fed which always feels strange.

Makes me wonder what % of collisions happen at weird intersections since it seems like Devonshire/Duffus/Novalea and Windsor/Chebucto/Cunard are featured here.

ya especially while both the slip lane light and the bike/walk lights to cross it are simultaneously red the majority of the time. Have noticed this other places where slip lanes have lights, Portland x Woodlawn comes to mind.

Probably late to this but they reprogrammed the Wyse+Nantucket intersection onto the bridge right?
Feels like green for vehicles turning right from Wyse onto the bridge is longer and the bike light to cross that sliplane is shorter. Easier to get stuck waiting through an extra light cycle now :(

Had never noticed the term "fluid milk" before on a print ad until now and it feels very odd to me. (Also why is the qualifier only added on the english portion)

But also, even more frustrating was the credit card company refusing to refute the charges on her behalf. If they aren't going to be the first line of defense against predatory transactions then there's a lot of people out there who will continue to be scammed.

The page to unsubscribe wasn't linked from the app or their main website in any way, basically unfindable by design. On top of that they were charging her way more than advertised.

Spent some time yesterday unsubscribing my grandmother-in-law from an app which seemed to be designed to prey on the elderly.

Slow to get around to hooking up my GoPro but here's a quick 1 min summary of yesterday's ride for posterity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO55...

Not as good as the empty and bare straight lane beside them from Thistle to the bridge so I opted for the road. They probably would have been fine if pressed to use them.
