by using their terms/names you give them legitimacy. Do not fall for it. Less platform they have, less damage they can inflict. Remember their task is to "flood the zone" and adding MAGA to your vocabulary is helping them. "Misinformed Americans" or "Malicious Americans" or "Mindless Americans" are more appropriate terms

Incorrect. In certain areas (like mine) only grass grows very well and is very prolific chocking off any other species. Grazers make a lot more sense and a lot less impact. Including soil build-up for future crop raising.

incorrect assessment: unions will gladly collaborate with 3rd party corps if it benefits them. Also unions protect interests of their members, not entire humanity...

...then turns around and gets buddy-buddy with putin? 🤔

this only holds for industrial red meat. I love it when everything gets lumped together and presented as "evidence". Non-industrial, small scale farming actually can have reverse effect. But we don't talk about avoiding industrial products, because... why? 100mile diet that includes sustainably raised meat (white, red blue - whatever) from local farm will have minimal impact on environment. Shall we talk about avocados in Canada or Almonds? Study lacks nuance and produces flashy headings with no substance.

you didn't answer to the issue some of the affected nations have with the language.

[–] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

are you claiming that nation protesting the language or assumptions are also right-wing propaganda? In times of renewed russian aggression one has to be rather precise describing reality and qualify when terminology used is referring terminology from the past. Fact is that russia frequently leapfrogs ambiguous statements twisting them into supporting argument of their narratives.

🤔 sounds like POTUS47 got a twofer - fuel populist anti-migration moods and kneecap California...

Curious that, he walked from "settling" Russian invasion right into Iran conflict with exact same results - aggressors get emboldened, no peace in sight and POTUS47 "deeply frustrated"...

wood boards are surrounded by misconceptions and misunderstanding. Some clarifications follow:

  1. you have to treat and season your wooden board similar to care of cast iron pans. They need to be warmed up, oiled, etc every so often. Grapeseed oil or coconut oil would work.

  2. machine washing is not applicable to wooden boards but also unnecessary. Treated board has anti-microbial properties so quick wash under sink is all it needs

  3. any board other than wood (even among woods I'd stay away from bamboo and oaks etc) has negative effect on your knives - dulling and chipping them so you've got to select "softer" type, like cherry or maple.

  4. every now and then you may want to scrape off outter layer of wooden board to "refresh" it or maybe remove the imperfections like cuts and dents

I rarely used anything other than wooden board for the past couple of decades

reality is not great. Opposing Russia means cutting it's raw exports (that compete with Canadian exports), and supplying weapons to the nation's armed forces. Palestine has no regular army and barely has any state, all due to how Israel governed there. So while Canada may condemn actions of either russia or israel helping Palestine is a much more complicated matter. Fact that israel physically destroys humanitarian aid makes all sort of help very challenging. Thus I'd refrain from calling it hypocritical. I'm fully against genocide in Gaza however it is hard to see direct line of involvement Canada may take there to help other then sending military which is understaffed right now and uses aged equipment... 🙁

 

Fedora 40 running on Dell laptop with KDE spin has done it twice on separate occasions: after rebooting for updates it just hangs after applying them. Is this something known? I've looked on google but could find only similar queries in other places with no answers or "just hard reset it" answers. I've been running Fedora for over a decade now and haven't seen such behaviour until recent releases. Some config drift? something else?

 

Pi Cap has everything I need for my project in terms of function, however their howto page has 2022 update stating that Bullseye does not work with it and one needs to use Buster. I would appreciate any pointers.

 

Is there an abridged version (1-2 pages) of main game math mechanics for v3.5 or v5?

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?

 

I'm trying to make my own window sills in our new house. We have windows rather deep so depth is around 9in and wide - 42/60in. I'm looking at read oak vs douglas fir. Red oak is mainly available in sub 8in cuts. The only one I found in 9in is 3/4 thick. Would that be sufficient to support plant pots or potentially human sitting on them? However Fir I can get in various sizes so I was looking at 1in thick.

Which one would be more practical? Oak at 3/4 or Fir at 1in?

My reading was that fir is sufficiently softer so plant pots may leave imprints etc. or am I wrong there?

 

I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

 

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.
