  • As it should be! I hope in the long-term, that is proven to be true.

  • Roberts rejects Senate Democrats' request to discuss Supreme Court ethics and Alito flag controversy
  • I would like to say, for the record, that I wrote that late at night, and my phrasing probably came across incorrectly.

    It wasn't my intention to call you personally 'a peon'. I was trying more to adopt the voice, for argument's sake, of what an imagined President, using this supposed absolute immunity, might say to their critics -- 'who are you (out there, the people) to question my power?'

    My apologies for it coming out the way it did.

  • Exactly. The Democratic party needs to push the issue and make the GOP see that the Leopards can eat their face too.

  • Roberts rejects Senate Democrats' request to discuss Supreme Court ethics and Alito flag controversy
  • Exactly. Maybe I didn't propose the "right" action -- the entire point is that if the SCOTUS won't rule a president does not have absolute immunity, and is subject to the law of the land, then really ANYTHING is possible isn't it?

    Wood pellet stove servicing on Vancouver Island?

    A wire broke off the ignitor element in our Harman unit. I have ordered a replacement and it looks simple enough to fix myself. But before sourcing the part I had called about 5 different fireplace companies in the area, and it seems everyone has dropped all support for pellet stoves in recent years! Not only does no one sell them any more (other than Canadian Tire), but they all outright refused to even consider sending a repairperson to help.

    It's a bit infuriating. I am calling them, literally saying "please come take my money at your standard hourly rate". One would think "struggling businesses" would be more willing to take on what should be profitable work.

    Is it such a liability issue for them that they're actually afraid to take on the work?

    What if something bigger fails someday on my pellet stove? Why is no one on the island now willing to work on one?

    If you know of someone who does still service wood pellet stoves on the island (Courtenay/Comox), please reply here or DM me. Thanks.

    OSC Appoves permanent "Exemption from Disclosure of a Specified Financial Measure" for federal financial institutions

    www.osc.ca OSC adopts permanent exemptions for federal financial institutions

    TORONTO – The OSC announced today the adoption of OSC Rule 52-503 Exemption from Disclosure of a Specified Financial Measure.

    What does this mean? New levels of ass-covering for bank malfeasance, or just the regular sort of opacity?

    Also see the original 'interim' declaration: https://www.osc.ca/en/securities-law/instruments-rules-policies/5/52-502/ontario-instrument-52-502-exemption-national-instrument-52-112-non-gaap-and-other-financial

    The 'old site' censorship gets even worse. Can't even mention lemmy in a comment.

    This occurred today when I tried updating/deleting old comments via the Redact tool, on the old super-stonk sub.

    OK, I'll start: what FORTHs do people like to use nowadays?

    Found this community, saw no posts. Why not start off by letting us know what FORTH you use in the modern day?

    I know there's GNU FORTH, and variants like 8th, which I downloaded ages ago but haven't really used. I like the idea of FORTH but haven't had the itch to write anything in it (I need to get over my current fascination with APL first, I guess, so I can try out FORTH again someday 😀 )

    Our cat found a dead rat. ... 'things' emerged from it. Should we be concerned?

    Our girl cat brought a rat she'd either killed or found already dead to our patio (she hasn't done this for a few years).

    As the wife and I discussed how best to dispose of it, we saw to our horror 3 large, purplish-black (2cm x 1.5cm?) fat larval things emerge from the rat's abdomen. A quick web search ('Vancouver Island rat botfly') shows matching images. Eyyyyyych.

    I bagged the carcass and captured the larvae in a jar for the moment... there's a burn ban at the moment, so I can't do that, but I don't just want to throw them in the trash either so

    • Is burying them sufficient?
    • Are our two cats in any danger of infection? (I phoned our vet, no answer from them yet)
    • Should we notify the town pest control dept.?

    There are lots of cats in the area besides our own, so we thought rats weren't a big problem on our street. Now I'm not so sure.

    EDIT: We didn't want to wait any longer to deal with it, so I dug the deepest hole I could under some back bushes and squashed every larva I could find, in and out of the carcass, then buried everything. I hope that's the end of that. Yuuuuuuuck.
