Valid point. Seeing it from that perspective almost makes me just as angry, but am refusing to 😅

Thing is, the hypocrisy is invisible and meaningless to his voters. But if you ever have the chance for respectful dialog with them, maybe there will be an opportunity to change some views.

Exactly my feelings.

This isn't an endorsement for Pierre, but treating this as an controversy is misleading and ingenuine.

The leader of the opposition literally told Pierre to stay there. I watched this interview live when parliament resumed in May:

"Given that Mr. Poilievre hopes to be re-elected as a Member of Parliament in a few months and Prime Minister Carney promised to hold the byelection quickly, it would be more costly to taxpayers to move the family out and then right back into the residence," Scheer said in a statement to CBC News."

Given the treasure trove of criticisms to bring to light about Pierre Pollieve's policies, this obfuscates the importance of the real issues and makes people who oppose Pierre look foolish at best.

Welp, I'm having oats for breakfast tomorrow 😄

I wonder if there are other ways pfas might be circulated out of the bloodstream and back into the digestive system to be collected by this microfauna.

One of the ways oats and oatmeal reduce the amount of cholesterol in your body is by binding to the cholesterol in bile so it's excreted instead of being re-absorbed. So the cholesterol could already be in the bloodstream, converted into bile, then excretes with the oats once it's combined. This clearly has multiple essential organs helping the process, but still, a mechanism like this could still make a difference over time.

Is she trying to sell the far right on vaccines? Because if you compare things to Hitler they might like them more 😅

I listened to a story from an ER surgeon. He says the hardest part about crash victims with dogs loose in the car is when their dogs bones fuse with the owners and it's near impossible tell the difference between the two to separate them. It's difficult because if they don't get it all, the body will reject the accidental cross species bone grafting.

Including the high likelihood of ejecting a dog out of the car, this inspired me to get my dog a car harness.

What's the best way to meaningfully push back on this type of divisive politics?

[–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

True, at least when you share the results with others, the energy used is shared between everyone.

Sometimes I see these videos and want to know what they talk about but don't want to throw away hours of my life listening to them. And this is the only way I get both.

I'd really like to self host something like this so I can see how much power it's using.

Title: Mark Carney Faces A Turning Point

  • Mark Carney, the Canadian Prime Minister, is at a turning point in his leadership, highlighted by a recent humorous pancake flipping incident at the Calgary Stampede.
  • Despite a relatively positive polling period, Carney has yet to deliver substantial results, with only minor initiatives like an income tax cut and Bill C5 on the table.
  • Major issues, such as housing, remain largely unaddressed, raising concerns about the government's effectiveness.
  • Carney's handling of international relations, particularly with the U.S. and NATO, is scrutinized, as public patience may wane if concessions lead to unfavorable outcomes.
  • The upcoming trade deal deadline of July 21st poses challenges; public expectations may clash with the reality of necessary compromises.
  • There is growing concern regarding the government's increasing spending and the potential for significant national deficits, projected to reach around $310 billion over the next four years.
  • The delay in releasing a budget suggests a reluctance to disclose spending plans, which could lead to public discontent once revealed.
  • While government debt can be manageable if it fuels economic growth, long-term structural deficits without clear repayment strategies could pose risks.
  • The public's patience with Carney is expected to diminish as pressing questions about spending priorities and benefits to ordinary Canadians remain unanswered.
  • The government must shift its focus from large resource projects to addressing immediate economic needs, such as housing and affordability, to maintain public support.

I had no idea this was about to happen. Why the heck did the government attack the office, which supports Canadian citizens? They should be focusing on consequences for the the way the app influences people in an unhealthy way, and is a force of foreign political coercion.

I guess the pandemic wasn't long enough to get all the way through my backlog. I've been slowly making my way through even now. I've been told it's a travesty that I haven't played yet.

 

Sometimes, when uploading to some sites, if I upload images with resolution and size within the correct parameters, the server doesn't re-compress the images. If the images do get compressed, then they come out looking degraded.

I don't know if those settings are per-server.

Does anyone know if there is a preferred resolution, file type and file size for photos and videos on pixelfed in general or pixelfed.ca?

 

Looks like it will take some time to figure it out, but the developer ljdawson is looking into Lemmy support for sync.

This app is so smooth, and caching posts and comments for offline use while on the plane or in low reception areas is a clutch feature for me.
