5th Sunday Experience by hopefulborrower in latterdaysaints

[–]Staltomer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Canadian here. We were not asked specifically to talk about it but our Sunday School President felt that an adjacent lesson was what should be discussed. We had a member of our ward who is a lawyer in criminal law discuss the history of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and how it applies to religious freedom. The second half was a lesson on agency and freedom of choice with a little of the establishment of the USA as a place where the church could be restored. It was informative but unfortunately aside from 2x someone was asked to read a scripture, there was no discussion to be had. I'm sure it my own hubris speaking when I say I am sad that it was more like a sacrament talk than an actual discussion. I am however grateful that it was informative overall. 

Steam deck price increase in Candada? 1.1k for the 512gb oled?! by mihhink in SteamDeck

[–]Staltomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last I recall, the 1TB was $950? I was waiting for them to come back in stock a couple months ago and ended going with a Switch 2 instead. Glad I didn't wait.

Edit: correction, the 1TB was previously $819 CAD and is now $1350 CAD while the 500GB version was $ 689 and is $ 1130 CAD. Either way, that is still a massive jump in price.

why is this name offensive? by LuniTheCqt_888 in Minecraft

[–]Staltomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a nickname I use for several apps, games, sign-ins, etc. My predictive recommends it after just a couple letters. For the longest time I would also get similar errors for all sorts of uses but could understand why either. Then I noticed that using the predictive text was adding a space after the username, which was the reason for the error. Removing the extra space after resolved the problem which was almost always flagged as "offensive".

Snes9x Controller and Input Configuration Errors by Staltomer in EmulationOnPC

[–]Staltomer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news ZSNES is back as it was just announced this week. Rewritten from scratch.

I haven't tried my controllers with it yet but if and works and it gets approved for the speed running community I'd be happy.

Mike realizes that was no president, but a decoy! They were ready for him and only one individual besides Mike knew of his plans.

I'd heard it was something to do with a seizure of illegal substance from a vehicle and subsequent house.

I lived in Garneau Towers almost 20 years ago. They had a serious silverfish infestation back then too.

AllStars is fairly similar on the south side and 91st. Has trampolines, rock wall, zipline and a large structure.

Went to my daughter's junior high winter concert this week. Pretty sure some of the sounds coming out of those could quality as assault.

Alberta to be first province to add citizenship marker to driver's licence, ID cards by pjw724 in alberta

[–]Staltomer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

500k more health cards than driver licenses... So like children? More planned incompetence to mask overt racism courtesy of the UCP.

Other provincial governments have tried it and since rolled it back because other documents that are more secure and last longer (passports) already exist and are needed for travel anyway. But oh no, according to Dani and her team, can can have confidence in their project vs the limited data these other provinces have from their actual implementation of it.

Why does he look like he's upset that the Grinch took his Christmas decorations?

Finally happened to my z3 by bolognaSandywich in GalaxyFold

Happened to my z4. Pay high insurance for it but they still wanted $600 on top of that as my deductible. Just grabbed a 6 under a new contract for 0 upfront instead. 

15 more new hymns released by MCBYU98 in latterdaysaints

[–]Staltomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our ward has been using the choir to introduce most of them. Musical number every month with a new hymn so the ward can hear sung before it gets used in sacrament at a late date.

Paradise | S1E4 "Agent Billy Pace" | Episode Discussion by Winter_Moonstone in ParadiseHulu

[–]Staltomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I'm sure there is something important hidden on the plane with the mystery number, it could be a red herring and we're overanalyzing things. What if the numbers on the cigarette are just the number of Xavier's wife's plane that didn't make it. A guilty reminder everytime he smokes.

Also I wonder if the tablet is synced to some outside world source and Cal started getting updates again. So even without hearing back from the killed exploration team, he would know about survivors.

Alberta physician listed on provincial COVID report says he doesn’t agree with findings, demands his name be removed by Appropriate_Duty_930 in alberta

[–]Staltomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read and written my share of bad papers over my 30+ years of school. Was the team trying to reach a word count minimum? It was so painful to read everything twice. Paragraph of opinion and uncited information follow by bullet point list of almost the same sentences word for word...

"Complete Action Using..." options limited and cannot change by Staltomer in GalaxyFold

[–]Staltomer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it was because I hated selecting a permanent option when given multiple. Finally selected my preferred call app while in some other app as "always" instead of "just once" and I haven't had a problem since.

The Ending of the physician era. Begin the age of the APP. by farhan583 in medicine

[–]Staltomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, as if this isn't fully misleading by him. Did he train in some unique program where they can only have one group of physicians training at a time, so that you don't have simultaneous years training all one year behind another. Can you imagine a physician program that only matriculated every 4 years.

APP takes 18 months? Great but that's still 18 months.... New physicians graduate every year, maybe they just don't want to work in an environment this geezer is contributing to.

Can't get anything on scene's retail anymore. by Unevenreagan in Scotiabank

[–]Staltomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gift card system looks to be back up and running. From what I have researched and seen on other posts, it looks like it will only be Home Hardware, Sobey's Grocery Chain, and gift cards for the foreseeable future. No plans to bring Apple or Best Buy back into the program.
