every suburb needs a downtown

Everything you need to know about the ‘spaceport’ in Nova Scotia

by Marie Lumsden

Someone on Facebook complained that the effort we spent holding a funeral for a raccoon-shaped traffic cone would have been put to better use picking up litter. We can do that too – meet at the diverter this Saturday. #BikeHfx

I think the general advice of “don’t go in the woods” was correct, but it was overly broad. I think of the BLT, a path lots of people use to commute, being closed due to the ban.

Text: Within an hour, Hofmann began to notice changes in his perception and senses. He decided that he should go home, so he hopped on his bicycle and began riding. Because the drug was already greatly affecting him, he had his laboratory assistant help guide him to his house. At times during his bicycle ride, he thought he was going insane, thought his neighbor was a witch and thought the LSD had poisoned him. He later wrote in LSD: My Problem Child, "On the way home, my condition began to assume threatening forms. Everything in my field of vision wavered and was distorted as if seen in a curved mirror. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me that we had traveled very rapidly." Needless to say, his bicycle ride was quite a trip.

On April 19, 1943, Swiss chemist/LSD inventor Albert Hoffmann whipped up a batch and went for a bike ride. That day is now commemorated in various parts of the world as Bicycle Day (not to be confused with the UN's World Bicycle Day, June 3.)

+1 to all this. MTBs & hybrids also have a nice upright riding position. Easier to get used to than the more ‘forward’ position of bikes with drop bars.

I get the feeling there’s some big Bike Energy in Halifax once again this summer.

Looks like we’re going to have a busy summer 🚴 🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♂️

“This country is too big for trains.”

Have we tried making them fast?

Huge turnout for the #KidicalMassHFX Spring Social at the oval today. Lots of humans and a few raccones. It was really nice getting to see everyone. I think it's safe to say bike season has started

is the anxiety coming from within or is it just *gestures broadly*

“16% of commercial taxes and 10.4% of residential taxes are collected in D7. If we include D5, 7, 8 & 9 (Downtown Dartmouth & the 3 peninsula districts) those portions rise to 35% and 30% respectively. We need to have a thriving downtown (socially and financially) to have a sustainable municipality”

this really makes the whole idea even more yee-haw

I really miss running old Lightroom on a big desktop iMac. Everything just worked!

might be far enough out for the whole AI bubble to pop, and save saddling yourself with a massive building that can’t really be repurposed

Scritchy has returned, with helpers! #BikeHfx #PylonWars

yes

it is not inevitable or even likely that social media, as we know it, will exist for the rest of our lives. future generations will look much more harshly on this stuff than we do smoking.

A screenshot of Flightradar24, showing a USAF C-17 globemaster deparing from Gander airport.

It’s also entirely possible it’s a US plane. The US military has been flying a looot of cross-Atlantic cargo flights. St. John’s and Gander are busy refuelling sports.

sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door

looks like a C-130? Globemaster has its horizontal stabilizer at the top of the vertical stabilizer, C-130’s is below
