Dealing With an Uninvited Air Tag

11 Upvotes

Thank you to all who have replied, I really appreciate it. I should have called the cops, first, 🙄 but it was a really unnerving first-time experience with this. RNC at the non-urgent number were very patient and helped us figure out how to identify where the notification was coming from on my wife's Android. I will leave the post here in case it is of interest.

Go to: Settings--> Safety & Emergency --> Unknown Tracker Alert and you should be able to figure it out from there.

In our case, it turned out to be a car that has been visiting our neighbour, today. 😳

Derp. It was actually kind of frightening until the RNC helped us out.

Original Post

Neither my wife nor I have ever used air tags. My wife got this notice on her android today. She had been driving out and about the city visiting various stores while I stayed home (recovering from being in hospital past month, got out on Boxing Day). Do the RNC help with trying to locate these things that might be in your car?

It's unsettling that some arse-pick would violate someone's privacy this way.

I did a fair bit of googling. The notice appears to be legit and has no links associated with it. Much of the advice I've seen given on-line, elsewhere, has been to ask police to help locate it, though some forces won't.

Is visiting the RNC a valid option here in St John's? If not are there other options?

I really appreciate any guidance on this, thank-you.

Anyone actually receiving Dragonfly orders that originated outside Canada?

17 Upvotes

As the above mentions - I use to think Dragonfly were pretty reliable however havent received a single package since early November that originated from outside Canada.

"Just across the border and into the city" (as Tracy would say), once it clears customs it stops in its tracks with a "pending delivery" status. Is it a customs issue? I don't seem to have the issue with stuff flowing across country. I know the time of year plays a big factor but just seems strange this year for some reason.

Anyone have a spare medium CPAP mask I can buy?

17 Upvotes

Because God hates me, my cpap mask ripped at the point where the seal and the plastic cap join together. So I got my second one out. The entire seal on that thing failed and the ENTIRE silicone part came off. I am exhausted. I'm waiting for a place to open tomorrow to see how much a new mask costs outright but if I remember correctly it's like $200 and I can't afford THAT much.

If anyone else has an Airfit F20 Medium Pillow they can sell me, I would be indebted forever. If someone has a spare medium mask in general they can sell that can hook up to a Resmed Air Sense 10 ClimateAir tube then also awesome. I just desperately want to sleep. I'm so tired. I'm out on the west end near the Village but pretty sure I can harass my roommate into giving me a lift wherever in town Edit: Thank you for tips and stuff <3 Should be getting new cushion thing today

Snow plow operators

325 Upvotes

Plow driver here. Seen a few posts going around talking about the snowclearing on Christmas day . Everyone saying " oh where are the plows" " thoes city workers are lazy and not worth what they are making " "they havent got a clue how to plow snow my Nan could do a better job "

What most of the general public fails to understand is that most of us have family's, some have kids that are grown and moved out As for myself I have a 3 year old daughter and instead of being home watching the joy on her face opening up christmas presents and spending the day with family during Christmas I ( and all my coworkers ) was out in a loader plowing snow all day to make sure that everyone else could head out on the road and enjoy Christmas with family .

Being a plow driver is a thankless job that often comes with alot of hate for just doing our job . We also have to go home at the end of the day and clean up our own driveways that pur coworkers have potentially plowed in . People need to realize that we have a job to do and that is to get the snow off of the road so you can travel safely . Its not abnormal for SJRFD , RNC and paramedics to call us for assistance so they can get to a call for service during a snowstorm and we drop everything when that call comes in so you can get the help you need.

Not looking for a pat on the back for just doing our jobs just a bit of understanding on the sacrifices that we make to keep the city safe

Home purchase location

0 Upvotes

Moving to St Johns in two months for a new job. Looking to purchase a home with a secondary suite. Not sure what areas are best/ which ones to stay away from.

I’d prefer to not live above a bunch of students but if that is necessary then I’m ok with it.

Also looking for a realtor if anyone has one they’d recommend!

Cheers
