November 2024

I visited Halifax to attend to a work matter (I live in Ottawa) and I stayed two extra days to check out the city. I do a lot of film photography; I had emailed the library in advance to ask if I could use a tripod inside, but you need $1M in liability insurance to do this. I braced myself against one of the railings for this shot and I am quite pleased with how it worked out. The interior design of the library is stunning, what a beautiful piece of architecture in a beautiful city!

Josephine is just passing by "peacefully"... have a great sunny/windy day everyone.

Traffic is at a standstill in Bayers Lake. It took me an hour to get from Indigo to Parkland Drive.

Avoid!

It was that older Asian lady who was trying to get into someone’s apartment a few weeks ago…

I had my baby with me so was not worth confronting her over.

I also watched her hanging onto the window of someone’s car as they tried to drive away , so to that person - I hope you’re okay!

Perhaps they may do another run in my lifetime, but tonight... I YEARN for BEEP

Anyone else?

From March 15 to October 15, crews responded to 114 wildfires, which burned 1,521 hectares. In 2025, 179 wildfires burned 8,408 hectares. [...] By mid-July, Nova Scotia had recorded more than twice as many wildfires as it had by the same time in 2025. More rainfall eased the situation for the remainder of the season.

That month, crews responded to a significant wildfire near Mooseland Road in Halifax County, in which 1,444 hectares burned.

The weekend is here.

This is a weekly mega-thread for good, heartwarming or uplifting news. Ideally local but non-local is welcome too. Fun pet photos or memes, tales with happy endings, personal anecdotes that you want to share with 179k+ internet strangers, etc. We could all use more positive news and vibes in our lives right now.

This is a rules relaxed space, but we will still be monitoring for personal attacks, doxxing, and stuff that doesn't fit the theme of the thread.

Amen. Hopefully this means

A a deal has been made

Or b

A temporary agreement

At least if they issue it on monday. We still have to wednesday to figure stuff out!

I’m looking to enjoy my days off work by not spending them at home lol what are some fun activities around the city (or even outside the city, I don’t mind driving far) that are maybe fall themed or Halloween themed (without the scary lol)

Has anyone else noticed an increase in car break ins lately? My parents live in the Armdale area and have had their cars broken into three times in the past month or so. Each time, everything inside has been rummaged through and thrown around so it makes a mess to clean up, but not much has actually been taken (that we have noticed). It seems like whoever is doing it is mainly looking for cash or change, since more arguably valuable items have been left behind. It’s also just such an uncomfortable feeling knowing that someone has been going through your personal belongings!

Just moved into a new build house and we have no grass. Just mud. I need some grass for my dog. I know it likely wont survive but I just need somewhere to let her pee until I make a proper lawn next spring.

Any ideas where they may still have availability?

At some point an agreement in writing will be required between the Nova Scotia government and the company that wants to build a data centre here, but Premier Tim Houston says that point has yet to arrive.
