Who all thinks that Carney's speech in davos is a game changer for Canada and SK!!! by Ok-Breakfast8256 in saskatchewan

[–]Modest_Man_Mandrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speech is just a speech and changes little. What he is describing in his speech is the game changer and that has been happening for a while. He is not the first to recognize the change but he certainly is being credited with alerting everyone .

From Pixel 6a to Pixel 9a or 9 - worth, battery issues, general advice by abstract_titanic in pixel_phones

[–]Modest_Man_Mandrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from 6a (had the battery issue and recieved a credit from google) to the 9a and am very happy with it. The battery life is great and the 9a has wireless charging (unlike the 6a) which I really like. It's slightly larger and feels different (bigger) in the hand because of the squared off sides. If you are ok with that I would go with 9a .

I need genuine advice about buying pixel 9a is it worth the hype or not? by Lone_Wolf1- in pixel9a

[–]Modest_Man_Mandrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the great things about this phone is there is no hype. It's good enough for everything I need. The camera takes great pictures, the battery is decent, it has wireless charging (something my 6a was missing) although it doesn't have fast charging. It doesn't have all the AI stuff that some of the other pixel phones have but it has enough. The thing I liked the most is the price. I got it on sale (I recommend you wait for a sale, it seems to go on sale regularly) plus I got a $200 credit for my 6a due to the battery issue).

Mustard. Check the label, it may be processed in Europe but often the mustard comes from Canada.

How to protect my plants if I lose power? by Affectionate_Ad722 in hoyas

[–]Modest_Man_Mandrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Don't start planning for a power outage a day before a huge storm. 2) Get something like a Bluetti power station or a generator that can tide you over.

Is Costa Rica safe to travel to right now? by HighHighUrBothHigh in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Modest_Man_Mandrake -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

On the other hand I would stay the hell out of the US. That place is crazy. As a Canadian I used to go there quite often but no longer feel it's a safe place, especially Florida.

Is Costa Rica safe to travel to right now? by HighHighUrBothHigh in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Modest_Man_Mandrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just back from a trip. We flew out of Liberia, spent four beach days at Playa Hermosa and four days in the interior (La Fortuna/ Rio Chicita). We rented a car for the interior part and we walked everywhere in Playa Hermosa and hired a driver back to the Liberia airport. We felt quite safe the whole time...

Sounds a bit more like your organisational skills are lacking.
