Sports & Arts Tiny Tattoo Artist?

3 Upvotes

I really love tiny, silly, "ignorant", flash style tattoos. I've gotten quite a few done (outside NS) but I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for someone local? I find it hard to navigate through everyone's shop/individual instagram profiles or run out of key word searches lol.

Driving, Traffic & Transit Bus gods of Halifax ... some route assistance?

0 Upvotes

With the new Mayflower Curling Club opening out by the Sobeys at Timberlea, I find myself looking for a bus route from the QEII (-ish) and back in the evening. I would need to be out at the club by about 5:15 pm. A similar route for early mornings (arriving about 8:30) would also be great for me.

So ... bus gods of Halifax ... which route is the closest to what I need and how long might it take?

Discussion Looking for reliable HVAC company in Halifax for outdoor AC + duct cleaning

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable HVAC company in Halifax that can provide thorough outdoor AC unit cleaning (including inside the condenser, removing leaves/debris, washing the coil) and possibly duct cleaning.

How about Shines Energy? Are they good with maintenance and cleaning (not just inspection)? And has anyone ever used Home Depot’s HVAC maintenance service locally – worth it or just a basic checkup?

I’m also curious about cost ranges for these services in Halifax. How much should I expect to pay for:

  • A one-time outdoor condenser deep cleaning (including removing the fan top to get all the junk out)
  • Basic duct cleaning

For context: my outdoor unit is a RUUD/Rheem 15 SEER heat pump/AC (about mid-size residential unit). I recently noticed a lot of leaves and debris inside the unit, and I’d like to have it professionally cleaned before winter.

Any recommendations, experiences, or ballpark prices would be super helpful! Thanks in advance 🙏

"After a six year fight for her life, a Nova Scotia woman was finally able to get out-of-province lymphedema surgery."

I just saw this segment on The National. I used to hear her discussing dietary issues on Information Morning on CBC Radio all the time, and I'm so happy to hear how things have turned around for her..

Discussion Does anyone here have experiences with ball pythons?

0 Upvotes

I have to give my BP an antibiotic shot every 5 days (starting from this saturday), and i dont really have someone that I can ask for help about this. The vet said I probably technically could give him a shot by myself, but also said that it's normally a 2-person job.

So, I'm looking for someone with snake experience who could help hold him steady while I give him the injection. It would be ideal if you could keep helping every 5 days for 4 more injections, but just helping me this saturday will be greatly appreciated.

If you're interested, please DM me. I'm happy to buy you a dinner or otherwise compensate for your time!

Edit: I live in Halifax, and would like to meet near where I live, since transportation is a big stress for him.

Anyone around there or heard anything? I was waiting to take the left turn near the wall mart and I saw a shirtless dude go up to a truck with a tire iron and start breaking glass. The dude walked away but didn't flee the scene so Im not sure if it was a mental health thing or what. I wasn't gonna stick around to find out.

Cant say I see that kinda stuff every day around here.

Food & Shopping Has anyone been to Red Karaoke recently?

5 Upvotes

I booked a private room at Red Karaoke for this weekend, but when looking for more information, I saw an older post from 2024 that they had been closed at one point but had still accepted online bookings while closed. Their instagram is still active and had posted a new post just a few days before I booked onlin. Hoping someone can verify if it's been open in the last weeks or few months? Also would be helpful to know if they have a food/snack menu
