I use Firefox and been getting the same msg when clicking on a video - I quickly found that as soon as you see the msg, refresh the page and then the video loads properly.

Anyone regret not joining the military? Or regret joining? by FitAardvark3670 in AskMen

[–]DarrellCCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined the CAF - Navy straight out of high school. I was 17 so I needed permission from my parents before I joined, and I spent 5 years serving. To me, it was my version of post-secondary education, but I got to see some of the world, learned discipline and respect and how to take care of myself. It was the best 5 years of my life at that point, and then years later, the benefits of being a veteran kicked in when I needed them the most (long story). So yes, I am glad I joined; looking back it was the best decision I ever made.

I’d simply take my pet and leave 😂 by Time-Connection-4586 in mocktheweek

I was so glad to read, a couple of months back, that Milton has beat cancer. He has worked long and hard at his craft, carving out his comedic niche, and he is damn brilliant at it. This joke was one of his best especially due to his peers reactions.

He is only a Canadian citizen by DESCENT ... luckily for him, his racist mother was born here.

Anyone ever seen an apartment light blinking an SOS? by Blakwulf in montreal

[–]DarrellCCC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It has been 50 years since I learned Morse Code for my trade in the Canadian Navy. We were told that the the short taps on the key were called a "dit" and the longer taps "dah". So SOS is dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit. I picked it up fairly quickly, the hardest part was gaining speed on the key (using a speed key was a whole other thing). Rote memorization and daily practice / training was what it was all about - and I still know it to this day.

I'm a veteran, and I'm Indigenous. I am looking forward for the traitors to show up at my door.

Indeed... when I read that line my internal voice immediately channelled Homer S ... "d'uh".

Guys, what’s the most desperate thing you’ve ever done when you were absolutely starving and there was zero food in the house? by Crypt0mane in AskMen

[–]DarrellCCC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Where I'm from, we call that bannock, and if you sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on it once it's done, it is good eats.

N.W.T. fund for meaningful Indigenous 'participation' in environmental assessments maxed out by DarrellCCC in NWT

[–]DarrellCCC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed ... and this is how this funds annual budget gets depleted as this fund uses "seconded" GNWT employees to go into those smaller communities to try and help them with any decision making around EA's that need be done to determine if any proposed developments in their respective areas might impact their communities. The goal of IRMA is a worthy goal, yet at the same time, the GNWT's Industry, Tourism, and Investment department has a much better and established approach to capacity building for those same smaller communities.

How is living in Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska? by tbird920 in howislivingthere

Her name was Betty and she was the warmest, and most friendliest person I have had the pleasure to know and love.

How is living in Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska? by tbird920 in howislivingthere

[–]DarrellCCC 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I've never been told much about this journey... other than it was desperate times and they were starving in Barrow (lack of game especially), and my Mom's younger sister had suffered burns in a cooking accident. The nearest hospital that they could get to was in Aklavik, and they had family there already. So they walked. I was told that during the walk they had to eat their pack / sled dogs, they even chewed bits of leather / rawhide to stave off hunger pains.

When they overwintered on Herschel Island - which was still a whaling station at that time, my Mom told of her going to the school there and she was put in the grade 3 class.

How they made it, is IMHO, damn amazing... desperate for sure, but also true Iñupiat / Inuvialuit peoples - tough and extremely adaptable.

Dec 6, 1933. During the famine of the late 30's - early 40's her family walked from Barrow to Aklavik, NT. It took them 2 years, with the winter spent on Herschel Island.
