Canada 'sleepwalking' into cashless society, consumer advocates warn
  • The "freedom" convey blocked ottawa streets and shut down businesses for a month, over vaccines. at that stage it was an illegal protest and to force compliance the government froze assets of the major organizers. While it is a scary overreach, the protesters were disrupting residents that lived there with constant honking in the night, the blocking of streets limited emergency workers. They seemed to think they could just do what they wanted, but peaceful protest is impeding traffic temporarily then letting traffic through, the "freedom" people trod over everyone elses freedoms and damaged the economy of that region for a month.

  • Am I overthinking it?
  • Containers are great to keep OS separate from apps, but VPN seems pretty integral to OS, so I don't see an issue using rpm-ostree. Containers often prove challenging because of not being able to get permission or share data between apps ( on purpose )

  • Tenacious flu
  • In Britsh Columbia, Canada we get 5 Personal Emergency days as paid leave, and 3 PEL unpaid. For somebody in generally good health this is more than adequate, for somebody with health issues you would have to go to doc and get short term disability leave for extended days off

  • Work from home
  • Paying for commute time for regular workers is not going to happen, for many many decades you getting to work is your own issue...thus why we find a place near highway access or near transit. asking a company to pay travel means they will just hire somebody that lives close by

  • Work from home
  • Same, my manager contacts me a handful of times throughout the year, the rest of the time he trusts I'm doing what I am tasked to do. We had a company wide meeting at head office requiring travel for everyone, the schedule was on my kid's birthday. I conveyed that I would be missing the bday, and they shifted meeting a few days to accommodate. Not all corporations are heartless slave drivers

  • Tube Tester at Convenience Store!
  • Memory Unlocked. We had moved into a house that had an old 60s tube radio built into the wall, it was broken, but my dad went through steps to sort out the issues and pulles a few tubes out. I recall the door with the chart of valve types.
    The radio/amp sounded great once fixed. It had these two luninous stripes that you watched as you dialed in a radio station. It was a tuning aid. you tried to get the lines as close as possible to know you had matched a frequency, but if you over dialed the stripes dissapated, and you had to scroll back a bit.

  • what are these rubber holes on the back of the pc case?
  • While that is an option for anyone, its not something I wanted. Mine is cube with 200mm fan. The lowest setting is fine for the thermals, but if I'm video processing I will toggle to high, but for voice over or a phone call comes in I drop it down low. The random up and down of the fan if left to its own device creates a noise I don't want to deal with.

  • Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan?
  • I have 2 of these. One gives perfect results, one seems to drop off after lots of data transfer. They look alnoat identical, but one is name brand and ine ia probaboy a cheap chinese copy. Wiring is probably sub-par
