Carney to lead Canada after trying for years to defund it by xoenix in canada

[–]HiddenFox 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Great, Canada now has an appointed leader. rather then an elected one. FYI no one voted for him. Should be a mandatory election.

For you US people this would be the equivalent of Biden stepping down and Kamala taking over after being appointed by the Dems.

What are your best cooking tips that most people don't know? by Zapped in AskSaidIt

[–]HiddenFox 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Lot of good tips here.

Good quality knifes, cast iron and select pans, MSG.

My two sense is bulk cooking and freezing. We are all busy and prep is important. Lack of prep tens to lead to bad choices and eating pre-made low quality dishes. (IE Frozen pizza)

I tend to cook something like 6 chicken breasts (A bulk size pack) all at once and divide it up into freezer bags. I'll cube it up, season and cook, then freeze. It's great because when I need chicken for something it's ready to go. I'm a big fan of chicken and rice and this works great. Open the freezer, break off some chicken, nuke it and mix it with rice and some veggies and I got a quick meal.

I also do the same thing with ground beef. Brown it with onion and garlic and freezing it. Great for when we need some topping on Friday night nachos.

The Mrs. also make bulk lasagna sauce and linguine sauce which she divides up into portions. She can whip of a lasagna in about an hour and linguine in about 15 min. A real life saver.

Never be afraid to cook large quantities of foods you like and freeze.

CBC applies a thick lather to their Mark Carney helmet wash by hfxB0oyA in canada

[–]HiddenFox 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The title reads

Liberal leadership race: Mark Carney elected in landslide to be next prime minister

People not familiar with Canadian politics (and dare I say a lot of Canadians too) could easily read this as though he was elected by the people to represent Canada. Only some 130 000 people voted for him. I feel this headline is blatantly misleading. A better headline would read:

Mark Carney elected by liberal party to replace Justin Trudeau after Trudeau resigns. Carney will be assuming the PM office in the coming days.

It's a little wordy for a headline but does a much better job summarising what has happened.

I think your right but at least it's progress in removing/reducing the woke mind virus.

If the Dems don't change I think they seriously risk losing again in '28. If that were to happen they would be forced into abandoning woke.

Woke as an ideology would truly be defeated being unable to find political support. Defeated might be too strong a word, there will always be crazies that embrace it but woke ideology will have such a stigma no one will take it seriously for decades. At least until the people forget.

India’s first trans clinic forced to close after USAid cuts by Oyveygoyim in news

[–]HiddenFox 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It was to build support and sow decent by creating an army of unhinged people that you can manipulate. Example, say a new government comes into power in India that's not US friendly. Now you need to protest that government, you already have the inroads and soldiers. Just have to convince them then new government is anti LGBT or whatever and you got all these loons out in the street.

A good example Mike Benz gave was the twitter version for Cuba that they created. They marketed it towards youth using music and pop culture. The plan was once they were at 200 000 + users they would start imputing political anti government messages to over though the government.

Zelensky, Trump, and Vance argue in the Oval Office. by Questionable in WarWatch

[–]HiddenFox 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Something clearly happened before the press conference. From what I have read so far it looks like Zelensky wanted a US guarantee of defense ageist a future Russian invasion. (With equipment and personnel) and rightfully so it was declined. US military in Ukraine would 100% start World War 3.

Looks like Zelensky wasn't going to take no for an answer and was maneuvering during the live press conference. (The part about Putin not honoring his previous deals and how the US will think these negotiations will be any different.) Looks like Vance and Trump were having none of it and saw this as complete disrespect.

I would have to agree with the reaction. The place for this discussion was not live on TV, in the Oval Office. It's something to talk about behind close doors. The implication that more should have been done from 2014 - 2022 is crazy and insulting. It's not the job of the US (West) to police the world. Not that I'm agreeing with Russia attacking Ukraine. It sucks for them to have a power like Russian on their door step with a leader like Putin but that's reality. They should take the US deal that's on the table now, that's peace (Even if it's temporary) take the losses and immediately start preparing for the next invasion.

A new Android feature is scanning your photos for 'sensitive content' by farmer in news

[–]HiddenFox 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This was installed under "Android App SafetyCore" on my phone. When I looked into it, no permissions were enabled. However, I have another program called Bouncer which auto disables permissions on all new installed software and makes you enable them if/when they requests access. Has anyone else looked into this and what were the default permissions?

Them installing this without notifications is pretty sketchy. Also, if it never phones home then why the network permission access people are talking about in the article? It would be a matter of a small patch a year from now for them to enable a phone home system.

I can see the point of something like this, especially for minors but they need to be up front about it with people and easy to uninstall for adults who don't want it.

One of them.

Looks like they are planning one in Texas too.

Yes. Sacking government workers who have criticised you, especially ones involved in aviation safety also affects Americans.

The people are getting what they voted for.

Having a stack of them available from second hand dealers will reduce new sales. Seems to be doing that in Cali anyway. Tesla’s sales drop double digits in the US’ biggest EV market, while others are growing.

People on the left are more likely to buy an EV where people on the right are less likely. Since Musk has aligned with Trump leftist are going to boycott. The politics of it aside, I would never purchase a used EV. EV's would be a lease only option. The cost of replacing batteries is enough to scare off me off.

Depends which Tesla. The truck is a pos.

On this we completely agree.... unless you are trying to contain an explosion...then I guess it's good for that.

Right now the company is using Windows file sharing. I have a dedicated NAS drive (Named NAS) with two folders available over the network. (Public NAS and Company) Permissions are set accordingly for specific users with "Everyone" having access to the Public folder and only two users with access to Company.

The only other issues is I have written a java program that basically runs all automated operations and handles all client accounts. It's custom tailored to my business and is critical for day to day. This program is stored on the NAS drive and can be run from any computer with access to the network. (Example being, if I'm in the office and I need an invoice floor client X I can open the application and it's right there. If I happen to be in the shop it's the same thing, open the app and the info is there.)

I would need some way of replicating this though Linux. I was looking at using Simba but TBO I never really gave it a fair shot. Windows 10 has been working perfect but now that support is ending I will have to make a serious effort.

I would like to move everything for my business to Linux based. If I can solve my network issues (TBH I haven't really given it a hard try) the only other problem is the photo printer which I could probably do a work around if I put some though into it. (Even if I have to run a Virtual Desktop running windows though Linux, this printer is only needed occasionally for promotional material.)

I moved away from MS Office about 8 years ago to LibreOffice and have never regretted it. the learning curve was minimal and I expect the same will happen with a Linux based system.

This issues is you need around an 80% humidity for any of these devices to work. In a desert climate this only happens a few days a year and your looking a a very high chance it's going to rain anyway if the humidity is that high. Below 80% the returns drop off dramatically. Same goes for non desert climates, if you have high humidity your most likely going to get rain or there will be a natural water source near by.

There is a you Tuber called ThunderF00t who has done several videos on this type of technology and he has thoroughly debunked it's viability by using the laws of thermal dynamics. He also talks about several companies that have tried and failed at this, always taking investors money with them in the process.

One particular video of his that comes to mind is the self filling water bottle. It received praise, awards and a lot of investment before it went bust. It's a good watch if you can get past ThunderF00t's tone and arrogance.

That's a pretty big stretch... Not saying Microsoft is not one of the most evil companies ever. Just that I don't see them as trying to hide it.

Also the swastika has been used long before the Nazis and was not a symbol of evil or hatred back then.

As for windows, sadly I think I'm stuck with windows 10 for my business. Our POS machines both run windows as well we have a special photo printer from HP that doesn't support Linux. I can get the printer to work but it will only do basic printing which defeats the purpose.

When win 10 support ends I will make another attempt to go all Linux Mint. Although the POS terminals will have to remain windows, they are stand alones and do not require network access to operate so I don't see an issue there.

Also I've never been able to get a proper Linux network share going either...can you recommend any good tutorials?

It's not global warming anymore it's "climate change"….. oh wait it's "climate emergency"... Wait that's gone, I think we are back to just climate change now.

What happened to climate emergency anyway? It was being pushed hard for a while there and now I hear no one saying it any more? Guess I didn't get the internews briefing to stop using it...

I'm going to start off by saying I think it's unlikely this will actually happen. Most likely they will fall short of the $2 trillion goal.

But... If it did happen I think you would see Trump popularity unlike anything that has been imagined. Support for Democrats would be utterly destroyed. Money talks.

I was banned for agreeing with a person who commented on a pro socialist post. The commenter told his story about living in communist USSR. He gave details like the city, name of the mayor at the time and what actions the local government had taken. I said something like "Thank you for giving your prospective." and I was banned for a month (I think it was a month, happened back in 2017. Once I relished I got banned I never logged back in.)

So I'm not sure if that qualifies as conservative censorship.

Ontario NDP candidate drops out over: 'I want to be a Black woman' comment by xoenix in canada

[–]HiddenFox 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Zavitz said participants were asked to write down their deep-rooted secrets. Some were picked and read to the audience.

I know someone who was in a mass religious cult when they were younger. He told me one main method of control was they would have people write down their deep secrets then use them against them if they stepped out of line. Just saying...

As for Zavitz herself, she is the very definition of Karen. CBC's definition was:

The name "Karen" has fallen into use as a generic and pejorative term to refer to any privileged woman, often white, who is perceived as demanding and entitled.

They are missing two parts. Operating outside their authority and a Karen being convinced they are in the right when they are clearly in the wrong. This part of the Karen definition it what makes Zavitz truly dangerous.

She is willing to sacrifice her very identity to further her ideology. This makes her a weak person who can be easily manipulated. If she would change her identity then she would definitely change a decision to align with ideology even if that decision was a terrible one. Not exactly the person you want running one of Canada's largest most powerful provinces.

On top of that she truly believes she is doing good and is in the right but can't see the racism in her statement.

What a weak individual. Shame on the NDP for letting her get to this level. (Not that I'm surprised as the NDP is nothing but a collection of these lunatics)

I could also get into how this promotes/proves minorities getting special privileges, being able to put forth ideas with little or no criticism but that's a post for another day.

Could this not be defeated by sending out false information all the time?

Example being, you install a program called "Don't Figure Print Me" on all your devices and and it sends out generic information for all known figure print requests. Any one else who installs it sends out the identical information thus you are lost in the group of people who use this program? I've heard that this wont work but what am I missing?

The researchers are currently working on converting the solar syngas into liquid fuels

In here lies the problem. The laws of thermal dynamics are a bitch. It looks like to convert the syngas to a usable fuel is energy intense. You need to get more out of this then you put into it. I have doubts the solar input will be enough to produce a usable output.

Interesting read. Just few thoughts,

which is why Dominion voting machines were rigged to elect trump

I don't think that's true. Much like Trump claims from 2020 I'm going to need some pretty uncontestable proof before I get on that bandwagon.

As for the Heritage Foundation I could see it being quite possible/true but I just don't see it as being any different then what left think tanks do.

Example being, I don't feel the rise of transgender rights was organic in anyway. Most people who I talk with disagree with things like access to change rooms (especially for minors) yet refused to speak out because of fear of retaliation/cancelation.

It's undeniable that this strategy (cancelation) was/is systematically implemented to silence critics. I would wager that think tanks / policy groups were responsible for this, using the very tactics you talked about with the Heritage Foundation of staffing boards, pushing/lobbying politicians, sampling population reaction, etc. The only difference being which party is in power enacting which groups policies.

This brings me back to my OP. The voters have spoken and they are wanting to try Heritage Foundation policies or at least a version of them. Time will tell how far things will swing right. I'm no fool, swinging hard right is just as bad a swinging hard left. What we really need is balance.

The only thing I would seriously disagree with on your post is a quick AI search of Trump polls showed 'CBS News poll: 53% approval rating, 47% disapproval rating' with several others coming in with similar results. So I would disagree with your statement on "Polling from January 2025 shows that a majority of Americans oppose many of Trump’s actions since retaking office, sometimes by large margins."

I would say select issues like Tariffs are very unpopular among most while other policies like no men in women sports would have a strong majority. Overall people seem to still be supporting Trump.

Anyway, like I said interesting read. I appreciate the effort.

A huge part of Trumps win was repealing DEI and Trans rights. I would argue without these issues Trump would have lost this election.

As for project 2025, if real, I would also argue is not far off from what the people want, well at least the majority. I'm going by this list I got here.
