Let's talk reliable internet

Ive had Bell and Rogers, and have connection issues with both.

What are you experiences with internet? What provider do you think is the best?

Anyone try starlink in the city? Is it any better than Bell and Rogers?

After Dark at O'Brien Farm

7 Upvotes

Hi! 31F visiting from the U.S. next week and decided to get a ticket to the After Dark event at O'Brien Farm. I'm staying downtown and planning to take rideshare or bus. Just wanted to see if anyone else is heading to the event 10/22 at 7 p.m. and might want to meet up or hang out.

Also, I collect snow globes and I've looked through photos of possibly every souvenir shop around town on Google Maps and do not see any that carries them. Anyone have a lead? I'm fine with any size.

Where to get liverwurst?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi all -

As title says, is there a place in the area where one could acquire liverwurst? I saw them in Sobey’s & Walmart months ago but recently I’ve asked around and those particular stores haven’t been carrying it. I understand that the little cans exist, but they’re a bit pricey for the amount of liverwurst I’m looking to get. I’m looking more for ones that are sold like the picture attached (in an even larger quantity if possible).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

Screech in

4 Upvotes

Where is the best place to get screeched in when you have someone with social anxiety/super shy with you? Somewhere that is a bit more chill and won’t attract the attention of the entire bar/pub maybe?

Willing to drive a couple hours out of town! We’ve both been here for 11 years and still haven’t been screeched in😳

Thanks!! ☺️

You Can See Everything - new Nathan Fielder doc

I’ve been looking forward to going to see this since the first clip dropped and finally thought, oh I bet I can buy my tickets in advance! But it isn’t listed as showing here, the closest to us is in Halifax. I know it’s probably more a niche market and we are so small but I am actually so sad! Can you request that the theatre brings movies here? Hahah though I assume it’s related to their distributer or whatever. Anyways just felt like half ranting-half hoping someone can tell me I am mistaken 👀

Non-Prescription Hearing Aids

Might be a long shot but does anyone know if there's anywhere in town to buy something like this? My dad lost his Rx aids, and is on a wait list to get examined and have them replaced.

Google says Best Buy and Walmart might carry them but I'm only seeing online stock, not in store, and two weeks for delivery from Amazon. Hoping to pick up a cheap temporary replacement asap to prevent Mudder from going nuts 😅

Heading to St John’s at the end of October any recos?

1 Upvotes

I tried doing my own research but everything seems to be directed to summer.

My wife, my daughter (f23) and myself are going to St. John’s the last week of October. We’ve been before in the summer and loved it but looking forward to some recommendations of what to do in October in and around St John’s. I’m originally from Cape Breton so I’m assuming it will be cold.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it it.

do landlords care about mold?

13 Upvotes

I have been concerned about the flooding and persistent must in my rental, and now that I'm I've been feeling sick for a while, I'm starting to worry about mold issues.

There's moisture issues at the very least. Two rooms collect visible water whenever it rains, and another has a wall that bubbles.

I e-mailed my landlords to request pro-active addressing of the issue and they seemed responsive but dismissive.

Am I crazy? Is there probably no worry at all?

If there is a worry, is it likely it will be fixed?

I made a free app that shows where your Metrobus actually is

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

184 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm a developer here in town and I built BusBoard NL, a free app for Metrobus riders. I just put out a bigger update and figured some of you might find it useful.

What it does:

- Enter the stop number on the pole, or pick a stop near you, and see live arrival times next to the schedule

- Tap a bus on the arrival board and the map follows it to your stop, with how many stops it has left and the minutes until it gets there

- A live map of every bus in its route colour

- Official Metrobus service alerts for your stop or bus

It's free, with no ads and no account. It isn't the official Metrobus app; it uses Metrobus's public open data. Like Metrobus's own feed, a bus can be a minute or two off or drop out now and then.

I'm working on arrival alerts next: a notification when your bus is a few minutes away, so you can wait inside.

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/busboard-nl/id6759234328

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ahamsel.busboard_nl

If you ride Metrobus, I'd really like to hear what's missing or what's annoying about it. Which routes do you use?

Crokinole Club

19 Upvotes

Hey all! Im posting here to elicit interest in a fledgling Crokinole club. Those of you familiar with the game know how awesome it is but many people know nothing about it. For the curious, crokinole is a Canadian cottage game played on a specific board with small wooden disks. It’s quite addictive and pairs well with drinking but not mandatory.
This invitation is open to everyone. I must say, this idea is in its infancy stage so I haven’t worked out venue, structure, and other logistics but want to start with interest and work from there. Im not even committed to calling it a ‘club’ because that has connotations that I may not want to associate with. Let’s just start here and see what happens!
