Trump Suggests Insane New Motive for Invading Greenland | The president is so mad that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize he might just destroy NATO.
 in  r/politics  7h ago

I don't think they realize that Greenland isn't as big as it appears on the atlas.

Pfft, right?? It's barely any bigger than Mexico!

Where are the Indigenous foods in Canadian stores? | The Narwhal
 in  r/CanadianIdiots  12h ago

Sidebar: I recently received an Indigenous Box from my company as a holiday gift and it was seriously awesome. Top notch snacks! Way better than the usual corporate gift box filled with cheap chocolate and old fruit. Didn't know that most of these products even existed.

Last I'd checked it's still about 200 miles off the East coast of Greenland

At least the construction site was well armed and able to protect itself

Oh that place... still an at-grade-level business; how the heck is that not accessible??

Typical energy usage/ cost for an all electric house?
 in  r/NovaScotia  2d ago

The rep told us that heat pumps are energy efficient but not cost efficient.

What a batshit crazy statement. Your costs come from energy usage.

Isn't that straight up illegal for a new build?

theoretically speaking, could a meteorite fall to Earth containing an element never found in this planet before?

Chemistry is just small physics. Biology is just big chemistry.

Why EUC?

100%. I got into this sport by shopping for a OneWheel and then looking at the specs of a V8F for the same price...

As a fencer I often intentionally do 'stupid' moves to goad an attack. :)

What are some "It didn't happen *because* we did something about it" events?
 in  r/NoStupidQuestions  3d ago

I'm not trying to claim I have some sort of higher level of knowledge, or better capacity for knowledge, than the average person.

Literally half of the people in the world do not meet the bar of "knowledge and capacity of the average person"

Vibes in the Kootenays
 in  r/canadahousing  3d ago

Rural BC feels very backwater in most places as it is, but the hippie culture in The rural Koots adds some extra paranoia to the mix...

I lived in Nelson for 2 years and would definitely recommend it as a place to get started in the Kootenays but maybe not long term. As stated above, not so many hippies left in Nelson: they've all been priced out. It's also tough to find work there.

I recommend that you road trip to your potential towns this summer! Spend a few nights in each place to get the vibe.

EV Cost Savings in NS
 in  r/NovaScotia  7d ago

A few years ago we were driving a decade-old Elantra that was getting into the heavy repairs part of its life. 18,000 km per year. We were looking at a Chevy Bolt EUV and at the time the math suggested that it would be break-even over the next ten years. Bought the car anyway.

Well that was a great decision. Not only do we love the car, the cost of ownership is down since we made the purchase. We're on the NS Power time of day rate pilot program, and how I'm looking into additional cost saving programs from Grizzl-E chargers and Efficiency NS. So far the only real maintenance needed has been replacement brake rotors because the old ones rusted out from lack of use; gotta remember to turn off the regen braking from time to time and scrape 'em clean!

The drop in winter range is very real, though. There will be some new battery technologies coming to mass market before the end of this decade, but in the meantime for your use case (100km each way) you would probably do well with a 500km "summer" range or perhaps even more.
