This is the weirdest and most nit picky complaint, but it has happened twice now.

First was Primetime and noticed that something was off. The sides of the screen as they approach the top begin to come in. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it meant some of the scenes felt a little more soft than they should.

Then last night I saw You Can See Everything and it was REALLY noticeable to me. It almost looks like the top bar that holds up the screen has slumped down over the years so now the screen isn't entirely straight and both sides of the film were keystoning inwards towards the top of the screen and it was incredibly distracting.

I assume this is not an issue for them with Widescreen films because you can go a little over the bounds when projecting those, but for 4:3 it was supremely distracting. Am I the only one noticing this or are there film obsessives out there who have noticed this as well? I just wish they would hire a decently paid projectionist again, it was one of the biggest losses when the theater was bought by cineplex and switched everything to fire and forget digital projection.

Was watching Good Mythical Morning and the story at 6:50 sounded WAY too familiar. Double checked and, yup, they were talking about the guy from here who boiled bones.

I went to high school with him LOL

Here’s a link to the video they uploaded today; mentioned it at 6:50

This is a question for anyone who worked on that project. There is only one water collection grate on each side of the road that are under the overpass.

Is this going to be enough considering the pooling trouble we used to have there in the past years?

Everything is downhill into those two grades from two roundabouts and I have no idea how they’ll cope with the volume and when it gets iced over.

Looking for a place here in St. John's that sells authentic indigenous jewelry, specifically earrings.

TIA

Just need the name of the place you had your best Ramen. I miss Bad Bones.

Bonus points for your favorite non-ramen dish at the Ramen place.

TIA

Does anyone know of a garage in metro that will do an undercoating with provided cans and just charge the labour? I'm looking to get my car coated with a lanolin-based spray and the only garage that does that is BDP out in Torbay (they're not taking appointments until Christmas time and the location is far from ideal for me).

I was hoping my regular garage would do it with provided cans but they have a contract to do a rubberized spray and won't do any others. West end of town or Mount Pearl would be ideal. My plan B is to get some kind of ramps and do it myself but I would rather just get a garage to do it for me if I can find one since I would make a mess and doubt I would cover as well as a pro would.

In town for the night and hoping to catch the Habs vs. Jets game somewhere with a good atmosphere. Would rather get out and watch it than sit in my hotel room. Any recommendations for a good spot? Thanks in advance!

I know it’s a long shot, but my nephew lost my NL Regiment scarf at/after last night’s game - it’s the red one from last year’s inaugural season and has immense sentimental value.

I checked the box office this afternoon and nothing was turned in, but if anyone out there found one last night somewhere between the rink and the fish exchange I’d be incredibly grateful if it found its way back (which means yes, there’s a reward)

I have questions about what the yoga and Pilates classes are like at GoodLife on Torbay Road.

I'm a thick girly, still in the early stages of my fitness journey. I've been going to weekly Pilates at a studio. I like that the instructors aren't all in their 20s, and have normal women's bodies. The classes are small and the students there vary by age and body type and fitness levels. It makes me feel very comfortable to participate, and I'm actually going on a weekly basis.

I'm at a point where I think I want to add a second weekly class soon. Later, I wouldn't mind adding in some gym time but that's further down the road. I started to do the math, and I realized my once weekly studio Pilates are already more expensive than a GoodLife membership that includes unlimited classes and access to the gym itself.

But I don't know anything about the vibes in the classes at GoodLife. I find when the instructor looks like an Instagram model and all the students are already super fit, I just don't want to be there. (This is mostly internal, no one has ever actively made me feel unwelcome.)

So can anyone who goes to these classes at GoodLife currently give me an idea of what kind of instructors and students attend, and how welcoming it may feel to a person in a bigger body just getting back into fitness?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m planning to buy a used car from one of the dealerships on Topsail Road. They’ve said their cars have been inspected, but I’d still like to get an independent pre-purchase inspection before buying.

Can anyone recommend a reliable mechanic or auto shop? It would be even better if they’re open on weekend.

Also, would it be a good idea to have another auto shop on Topsail Road inspect the car, or would it be better to go somewhere completely separate from the dealerships?

Thanks in advance!

Does anybody know who does the lettering and numbering for on-ice Regiment jerseys? I have a blank coming that I need to have done, and I would very much appreciate it if anyone can point me to their official partner. I'd like to avoid calling the front office over that kind of nonsense, but I suppose I will if there's no other choice. Thank you very much in advance for any insight you may have to offer.

I have an important urine test next week and cannot find 50 ng/ml tests anywhere. If anyone knows where definitely has them in stock, Shoppers and Lawtons don’t carry them and Walmart is all out and apparently Dollarama doesn’t carry them now either, let me know. Or if anyone has a few extra I’m willing to pay for delivery!! TIA :)

Hey everyone,

I'm considering signing a one-year lease for a 2-bedroom apartment with Killam Properties in St. John's. This would be my first time renting directly from a large property management company, so I'm trying to understand how things work before committing.

My first concern is what happens if your circumstances change during the lease. Let's say you get a job in another province after 6 months and need to relocate.

Can you just give notice and move out? Would Killam keep your security deposit even if you gave proper notice? Could they ask you to pay for the remaining months, or is there an option to transfer the lease to someone else? And if another tenant moves in shortly after you leave, would you still owe anything?

I'd really like to hear from anyone who's actually broken a lease early, especially with Killam.

My second question is about roommates. For those renting 2-bedroom apartments, how do you manage sharing the rent?

If the lease is in your name, can you have a roommate who pays you monthly without being on the lease? Can you make a separate month-to-month arrangement with them? And if they move out, can you replace them with someone else, or does management need to approve every new roommate?

Also, what happens if a roommate suddenly stops paying rent or decides to leave? Are there any occupancy limits for 2-bedroom apartments?

I've been reading through the rental terms, but I'd also like to hear how things work in real life.

Anyone with experience renting with Killam or other apartment companies in NL? Any advice or things you wish you'd known before signing?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know anywhere in the city that has a loading ramp I could use for a few minutes for my motorcycle?

I need to put my 450lb bike into my truck bed tomorrow but don't have the proper ramps. Does anyone know a good place or even a good bank they've used before? Any help is appreciated.

Hi all, I'd like to get a red between $20-$35 for my brother in law who's a wine enthusiast. Does anyone know of any interesting new arrivals in that price range that a non drinker can pick up in the metro area, CBS, Mt Pearl and Paradise included.

What is it like working there?
I have an interview for a senior leader position, and I am curious about workplace culture.
I am from out of Province considering a move.
I know the province- I am curious about working as an executive level.

Hey everyone! For several years now I’ve given thought to moving out to NL. I visited before in late October a couple years back and it was just so wonderful and it just generally felt like a place I was meant to be. I’m f39.

I work remotely so finding employment (unless I wanted a side hustle because wtf is with affordability right now??) isn’t an issue.

I’m aware of the winters lol. Having not experienced them first hand, I can tell you living completely surrounded by the Great Lakes my whole life has made for some pretty righteous winters, so I’m not ill prepared in that respect.

I like to be sociable occasionally but am mostly a homebody and don’t mind doing things on my own. How do you all like spending your weekends, and what are some examples of activities within St Johns and surrounding area? I love hiking and would very much be into learning some other outdoor activities too.

I’m sure this question is asked often here, so thanks for taking the time to respond 🙂🌅

Anybody know where to get Euros from an ATM in town? Airport ATM is out of euros and RBC couldn't be bothered to get my order in that I placed on Monday! Flying out tomorrow, Sunday Oct 25.

During power outages and startup you can sometimes get a power surge and last year I lost my fridge.

So best bet when your lights are out is to unplug everything where possible…

Power bars often just create extra plugs without surge protection.

I’m not an electrician but I know my fridge would still be working if I unplugged until stable power resumed.

Edit:

Great idea team! Full surge protection, I hadn’t researched that.

$100 OEM part on Amazon.

So we haven't actually gone into a Walmart in a while because we do the curbside pickup for groceries. Apparently the one on Kelsey got rid of all self checkouts? Is that across the board? Are all the Walmarts now cashier only?

Edit: Nevermind lol I was going off what my spouse told me. Looks like they were mistaken lol

I want to learn to knit and wondering if there are any drop in groups in the St. John's area. I know the libraries have some, but they're during the day. I'm hoping to find a weekend drop in club. I'm a complete beginner and might try socks. I've tried knitting a scarf before but feel like a need a pattern or actual project to keep going.

I need a basic part for an older GE dishwasher but unfortunately the manufacturer stopped supplying these. Checked with local repair shops but they can't source it and few on eBay are crazy expensive.

Is there any home appliance junkyard in town - where they might sell some used parts?

Does anyone in town direct bill to insurers for CPAP supplies? I go to Respiratory Therapy Specialists and they do not.

TIA

Looking for recommendations on a local artist who can paint or sketch a picture of my husband’s cabin - his family sold it recently and I’d like to get a little tribute made for him for Christmas. If you have any local recs please let me know!!

Thank you!

I’ve been looking around and can’t find them. I’m trying to buy some for a friend who lives in another province where they’re not sold. If anyone knows a place seeking them please let me know!
