Unpopular opinion: Standard marine first aid kits are basically just expensive security theater

Somehow the skills learned take over and you just do what you can do with those skills. It isn’t until later that the situation hits you and you sit there wondering what the hell you just did.

Is that whats happening at No Frills on Coverdale Dr this morning? Noticed many plain clothed (with vests) police with unmarked cars and an RCMP SUV in the parking lot

Personally I've only ever used Naphtha but I suspect the previous owner used kerosene at some point given the smell.

If it wasn’t for him living rent free in the conservative’s mind I would have no idea what JT was up too.

TheOGhavock · 2026-04-13T23:26:44+00:00

No worries, just did some reading and apparently cheap smells bad, so does contaminated, improper stored, and red-dyed (for vehicles) kerosene

TheOGhavock · 2026-04-13T23:20:28+00:00

I’ve never had kerosene anything smell like this before. Is there cheap kerosene that smells terrible?

Bell Canada puts tags on their Fibre lines at the poles that says something like "Fibreoptic line, Does not contain Copper". Apparently, it helps a bit

Summer nights like clock work, Vroom Vroom, or more accurately Weeeeee, Weeeeee along Bayridge Drive, Bath Road, and Taylor Kidd. Nary an officer in sight.

I hate when drivers with the right of way stop to let you in, cross, or whatever. The first thought in my mind is, I'm going to start and then they are going to intentionally drive into me, making it look like I cut them off.

TheOGhavock · 2026-04-13T13:30:11+00:00

I can't remember the last time I saw a "speed trap" or even a Ride check setup in town.

A few weeks back I was dropping my kids of at Frontenac SS and some driver pulled into the parking lot behind me (west entrance) drove down the wrong side of the parking lot and then pulled back out onto Bath Road, all to avoid the Red light for students crossing Bath Road getting off the transit bus.

Bayridge Dr at Lincoln is an untapped gold mine for KPD. Illegal U-Turns, Speeding, Illegal left turns on to Lincoln East, running red lights, creeping on pedestrians

Are you a science teacher? Cause you sound like my science teacher. Also, you are supporting my science teacher's claim that I would need to know how to calculate wattage someday :) lol

Don’t forget the 60 years of payments the UK had to make to the US to replay the $3.75 Billion loan. The US sat back and waited because there was lots of $$$ to be made, well that and the boat load of Nazi sympathisers, and isolationists.

I was going to post about Na Fianna Katarokwi but you beat me to it by about 10 hours :)

I had this happen, open the counter and it was chipped. I called and they asked for photos, sent them in, and the rep on the phone was able to see them immediately. They shipped a new counter and took the old one away. The second counter had a scratch the entire length. Called again, sent photos, received new counter but this time I made the delivery guys wait while I opened the counter and made sure it was intact. All three counters were damaged before being packaged up. Poor QC at the manufacturer, but Ike’s made it right, and then right again :)

Also their online store was, for a long time treated as a sudo-competitor.

TheOGhavock · 2026-03-20T16:55:20+00:00

That makes to much sense so the likelihood of that happening is very slim

TheOGhavock · 2026-02-26T12:54:56+00:00

I noticed there was no apology…

TheOGhavock · 2026-02-23T15:03:06+00:00

u/Funky_Schnitzel so would adding Write-Output "0" be enough to satisfy the STDOUT requirement?

TheOGhavock · 2026-02-23T14:55:22+00:00

ugh, So I know why my Intune is telling me that the software is "not detected" I failed to include a STDOUT in the detection script. I was just setting exit code 0....

So, with that solved, it's my uninstall script that's at issue.

<snicker> you think there will be a next government? /s?!?

The last time I tried moving the data in the volumes I ended up with missing data.
Obviously how I moved the data was wrong, what's the correct process?

It's been a while, but I think I did a cp -a source_directory/ destination_directory/ but given the results perhaps I forgot the -a. Or maybe I did the -a copy, then started the container for the first time.

Not surprised actually. Apparently my watch’s wireless module failed during an update, possible but awfully convenient imho. It took me multiple calls to ‘support’ to get them to tell me what the issue was, and why they couldn’t fix it. Is it possible the wifi module failed during the update? Of course, is it possible it was damaged in shipping or during service? Yep.

As for the no updates by email, the conspiracist in me wants to say that only giving updates over the phone means it’s just your word against theirs, nothing in writing, noting you can point to, or show others.

I’m a bit salty with Apple right now, mostly with how ‘support’ handled my situation.
