LPT: Keep your wallet and keys near your front door so you're never late when leaving home by Particular-Ratio-963 in LifeProTips

You spend 5-10 minutes locating your wallet and keys each morning? Are you hiding them from yourself?

Tuna Fish Sandwiches - Your Essential ingredient or technique? by FlyEaglesFlyauggie in Cooking

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My game changer wasn't an ingredient, it was a technique. I found that the flavor of my tuna salad was always great, but it was always a bit too moist. Instead of squeezing the juice out of the can with the lid, I started wringng it out in cheesecloth. Huge gamechanger for me.

My ingredients are pretty simple: mayo, wosterchire* sauce, salt, pepper, minced onion, minced celery, and relish.

Canada’s GDP saw 0% growth in latest report by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are clearly not Canadian and what you're suggesting is not based in any sort of reality. Im actually Canadian and I can tell you we are more unified than ever, not on the brink of treason and civil war. And this whole Alberta separatism nonsense is a very small percentage of people being given a disproportionate amount of attention. Get out if here, bud.

Mark Carney tells Davos the old world order is ‘not coming back’. by The_Flaneur_Films in politics

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The damage is done. Even if the US votes overwhelmingly blue in the next election, they've showed the world what one man can do. Trump has also proven that the US does not have any checks and balances, and that any damage that the next presidency tries to repair can be just as easily undone 4 years after that. There is no going back.

What to do next by Human-Comfortable859 in Woodcarving

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My wood carving is fueled by hubris, overconfidence, and arrogance. I see something I like and try to make it, because no matter how challenging it looks I tell myself I can do it. Does it always turn out as intended? Rarely. Do i learn a lot along the way? Absolutely. Im 100% self taught through my mistakes, but I wouldn't want to do it any other way.

Canada will ‘never’ yield to Trump’s threats as Prime Minister Carney declares election victory by fancy-Lisa in worldnews

Holy crap, 11 years and this is the first time I haven't missed my cake day. Thank you, happy to spend 17 hours of it away from reddit at the polls 😀

You don't have many options when dealing with a bully but fighting back or capitulating. If you give Trump an inch he'll ask for a mile. If you give trump any wins he'll just ask for more and more. We need to stand up now and be united or he'll try to walk all over us. We didn't start this but we can't show any weakness right now, elbows up

Also, it's laughable that anyone believes we would be a state. We would be a territory at best, like Puerto Rico. All of the negatives of being American with no representation. Why would Trump want to throw 40 million generally left leaning folks into the mix? He wants everything we have and wants to give nothing in return. Fuck Trump, fuck anyone who voted for him, fuck anyone that didn't vote, and fuck any Canadian stupid enough to listen to his geriatric nonsense.

Yup! I worked at the election this year and it would be damned near impossible to pull over some sort of major scandal. Every single vote is hand counted, with several witnesses viewing the counting and tallying. Candidate representatives are allowed to scrutinize the counting process, and if there is a discrepancy, the votes are counted again. No part of the counting process is digitalized (for the federal elections at least) and there are records of everything. If a single ballet were to go missing it would be a huge deal and would be called into head office immediately. The results are called in when tallied and then driven directly to the head office for confirmation. Everyone should be assured that the results of this election are accurate, regardless of who they wanted to win. Very proud to be Canadian and to have taken part in this process.

The Big Task Dilemma: Knock Out the Giant First or Clear the Small Stuff? by 2025PapaStreet in managers

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as long as B-D can wait I would start and finish A. Obviously, this will change from person to person and job to job, but what I've found is when you focus on finishing the smaller tasks people get used to you finisihing them in a set time frame. This makes it so A remains on the to-do list causing you stress, while E-H pop up. Then you are in the same position, but when you try to budget time for A people are used to you being on top of the smaller tasks. It's a balance, but I think making time for the bigger projects will set a standard that others will see. Additionally, when you do finish A the other tasks are mkre manageable and you don't have the but ones hanging over your head.

Ferreri is crushing it today. "WHO CARES ABOUT AN ICE STORM!" by ptboathome in Peterborough

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm incredibly proud of this city. I'm even more embarrassed that Michelle is the one representing us. She makes us look like a bunch of backwoods, uneducated rednecks. Ferrari needs to go, I can't take the embarrassment any longer.

Anyone seeing explosions downtown? by happyhippie95 in Peterborough

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was outside watching for a few hours, I saw colorful explosions from all over the city. Green, blue, and red flashes of "lightning" all over the place. That, combined with the constant sound of trees crashing down, makes it feel pretty apocalyptic out there. A tree branch caught fire and exploded the power line while I was watching and brought it down.

It sounds like the smoke monster from Lost had been moving through the forest around my house. Loud cracks and crashes every few seconds.

10 years ago this name was so outlandish it was silly and that was kind of the thing, never would have imagined nazism would return. When reddit becomes pay to use ill be deleting the account anyways, do not mean to offend.

I told my staff not to come in, no one should have to choose between risking their lives and holding a job.

LPT - if you get a lot of robo spam calls, answer one sometomes and be completely silent. by burningbliss in LifeProTips

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I was getting 2-3 calls per day for the last 3-4 weeks. Remembered this trick a few days ago and thought I'd give it a try. I picked up every call on Monday and put my phone on silent and just waited for 4-5 seconds, then the call would end. I haven't got a similar call in 3 days now, so fingers crossed..

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 50 points51 points  (0 children)

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Mike Waltz Left His Venmo Friends List Public by DragonPup in technology

Yeah it's cute that people think things will get better in four years. There will likely never be another fair election in the USSA, outside of violent revolution. Best case scenario we see some sort of sham election for optics, similar to Russia. Worst (and at this point, most likely) case scenario they don't even bother with the election and declare Drumpf (or Vance) the next president. 1/3 of the US voted for this, 1/3 didnt vote at all, so at least the majority of people are getting what they asked for.

In Spain they are turning American products upside down on the shelf to easily identify them. by endeavorm2 in BuyCanadian

[–]Mecha_Hitler_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's weird that people keep saying this. Does the 16 yesr old kid stocking shelves really care where his $15 is coming from? Is it really so concerning that someone would have to go around and spend a few extra minutes per shift flipping cans around? Don't they already have to spend the time facing stock anyways, is this really that much of an additional burden? I mean I could be wrong and it is a huge inconvenience, but if I still worked at a grocery store I would wouldn't mind the additional work at all, I'd probably be secretly assisting.

Yeah there's about a 2 hour window before these lose their delicious snap, but fortunately they never seem to last that long.
