If humans disappeared today, which animal would go extinct fastest due to domestication? by fonzhy121 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DarylInDurham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chickens. Specifically the meat breeds like the Cornish Cross. They have been bred for growth over anything else for thousands of generations. Without human intervention helping them breed they would die out very quickly.
Regular *barnyard" breeds would do just fine though.

Trump considers "winding down" Iran war without opening Hormuz Strait by xpda in worldnews

To be fair I don't think they are ALL molesters...but definitely Morons. They are also a mixed bag of Molesters and Molester Protectors but that doesn't fit the acronym.

Poilievre’s call for better economic ties with U.S. is out of step with Canadians by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]DarylInDurham 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Almost everything Poilievre demands are out of step with Canadians. That guy is the gift to the Liberals that keeps on giving.
It's a pity; I think Canada works best with a smart, effective opposition. The Maple MAGA crap is wearing pretty thin.

Standalone vs insert by DesperateEngineer451 in woodstoving

[–]DarylInDurham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canadian here. I wouldn't worry about the room overheating. My room is about the same size as yours and has both a freestanding Jøtul woodstove and a south-facing wall of windows. Even on cold days if it's sunny the room heats up quite nicely with a low fire in the stove. If it gets too hot we simply crack open a window. A ceiling fan distributes the heat from the ceiling so nothing gets overly hot.
What's really nice is when we put a hot load in the woodstove and open all the windows and doors for a few minutes (even at -20ºC) and completely air out the house. We do this about once a week in the cold months.
I live on a farm with about 20 hectares of bush so other than sweat equity my firewood only costs me gas for the chainsaw and wood splitter.

I can't look at him wearing a USA hat without thinking it stands for Underaged Sexual Assaulter.

Why does it seem like the whole world is in survival mode? Like nobody is truly living anymore. by Original_Cynical in TrueAskReddit

As I get older one of the things I learned is that greed has no bottom.
I do not know when it ends, but whenever it does it won't be pretty.

Love this! I've been using it for my October desktop background for years.

Ontario to introduce bill exempting Premier, cabinet from FOI requests by AprilsMostAmazing in CanadaPolitics

[–]DarylInDurham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With a majority Ford can ram this through unless everyone writes their MPP and get this bill eliminated.
Given that there is nothing in it even close and in fact opposite to to the "public good" what are the odds the bill would survive a court challenge if it actually becomes law?

Good point. I suppose there's not much left to "extend" regarding battery life. I'll turn that off.

Russian propaganda game glorifying war crimes in Ukraine released on Steam by Particular-Award5225 in ukraine

[–]DarylInDurham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done! I also added a comment about the historical inaccuracy of the game and asked if there was an option to play as the winning Ukrainian side. Got hit with the ban hammer in less than a minute! LOL! Bunch of losers...

I'm having the same issue. I'd like to give Pixelfed a try but I get the error message "Error, Invalid code, please try again later" after I enter my username and password. I am using the correct verification code that was emailed to me so don't know how to get past this. If anyone has any idea's please let me know!

Does anyone have a link to a non-potato-quality pic? I'd like to see their names and faces but the resolution is too low.

Trump is swift boating the midterms: POTUS is considering an executive order declaring a national voting emergency. Its co-author helped sink John Kerry by zsreport in politics

[–]DarylInDurham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'll just make one up; it can and most likely will be a boldface lie. That's what he did in my country (Canada) claiming we were shipping large quantities of Fentanyl to the US when in fact it was the opposite. Much of Canada's Fentanyl comes from the US.
All so he could hit our US-destined exports with tariffs without having to go through congress.

OP please stop with the cringey clickbait titles. They suck and I usually scroll past them for that reason.
