@eevee_app Free to $100/year to have your charging stats is a big jump. Not grandfathering early adopters OR answering emails about it hasn't been a great experience for what was a great app to use.

On @Harvest_Canada week? C’mon guys wait till next week to make me feel bad.

The more you drink, the higher your risk for health complications.

No matter where you are on the risk scale, drinking less alcohol can reduce your risk.

Less is better

@StevenMorneault @TheFwordNB Yikes! Long bus ride? It’s 12 minutes from FHS to my house. 5:45 is crazy

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@TheFwordNB Addresses some concerns, but doesn’t really help address why my kids get home at almost 5pm now because we can’t get enough drivers to run the buses properly.

The irony is strong in Matty’s (deleted because he can) tweet.

@xOFFSETx @Kunky They may have also been ordered or negotiated before some of the price drops, still a questionable price for used especially… BUT 2 years ago this would be a reasonable price taxes in even for used if almost new. Some clarity from Montgomery Higgs might clear it up.

@TheFwordNB Toro sells an Electric 60V version of their Self-propelled recycler model. RD Pond and Home Depot both have these and Stihl (Yard Gear) and Echo (RD Pond also) have models as well.

I’d stick with electric versions of good lawncare brands!

@oliverdueck @xOFFSETx @Kunky Getting something that could only use the NB Power network would force them to experience what our Province provides, and also get local service. (Chevy, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, etc). Although if they got Mach-E people would be in a tizzy about that too.

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@oliverdueck @xOFFSETx @Kunky I get why they went Tesla though for maximum charging availability though, but paying a Minister mileage to drive to Halifax to get it fixed also isn’t a good choice.

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@oliverdueck @xOFFSETx @Kunky Fair, I didn’t notice it was a random licensed photo. https://t.co/n1LtfHydtK

Even if was a Model Y Long Range it’d be $76k new, so still ridiculous to buy used ones for more than new.

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@AndrewOfYFC Yeah that’s odd, nobody should consider stock appreciation as comp IMO, because it could easily depreciate the next year. New stock grants sure, but not appreciation.

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@AndrewOfYFC Fair, he needs to decide where his joy comes from.

Without knowing if his TC is Salary or RSU/401k all mixed it’s hard to say how much he’s locked in vs paid well.

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@AndrewOfYFC And he’s not golden handcuffed, he’s just well paid and unfulfilled, sorry bud.

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@AndrewOfYFC I’m having a hard time empathizing with someone whining about Career stagnation at 29 regardless of their TC. 🙄

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@Keh27_eh @TheFwordNB 77-83 is Xennial because of our unique experience of being at formative ages during the rapid technological changes of the 90’s. We awesome. But if I can’t have that I’ll take X even though I’ll “Ok Boomer” an X born in the the 60’s. 😆

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@TheFwordNB @Harvest_Canada I’m so happy with the Wednesday/Thursday lineup since we’re going to Sommo on Friday/Saturday! Honestly July talk alone is great, but Feist and Matthew Good is a great bonus too. BSS doesn’t excite me but I might go. And all for $115

[Chris Collins @Unsta1]

@TheFwordNB Banana for scale?
