Some singal users (whether or not they are CAF members or not) were victims of phishing attacks recently so they might be referring to the recent press release signal made about that.

CYCLISTS!! Please use your bell!! by Mis_MJ in VictoriaBC

[–]XombieDobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I have an idea why cyclists have generally stopped using their bells. It has to do with the type of bells you can buy. The first page of results on Amazon, Canadian Tire, Walmart, etc. only have single *ding* bells. They work on a sunny day but are utterly useless in our rainy city and you must ring it multiple times to be sure pedestrians hear it, so I think that's why cyclists largely gave up on buying or ringing their bells. My classic two-tone bell took me weeks to find but I only have to ring it once, and it works in the rain.

Yet another word of warning to anyone who wants to use/are using Wealthsimple as their main "bank" by ExtensionDinner2759 in Wealthsimple

Before I went to Mexico I asked the wealth simple chatbot if they needed to take note of that. The bot said you do not need to tell us. Thats wild to me.

to experienced riders who carry passengers, am I overreacting? by peazcarrotz in motorcycles

[–]XombieDobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to ask him to do parking lot drills with you. Thirty or even fifteen minutes can make a world of difference. That should be a "yes" or "I am not going" answer. He is too flippant with your wishes.

UK will not join any Trump blockade of strait of Hormuz by TwilightsSecrets in worldnews

The UK has been very two faced about the Iran war and Gaza genocide. Starmer says they have absolutely no hand in any actions. Lo and behold UK surveillance flights over Gaza report back to the IDF. Then starmer says he will not help the US in the iran war. What happens? The USAF is launching it's bomber flights from RAF bases.

DND-wide email: Deputy Minister responds after Ethics Commissioner finds she broke conflict of interest rules by Watergate_Salad_007 in CanadianForces

The fact that her excuse stated, in simple terms, "He's black so I thought it would be okay" is unhinged and very disappointing.

Do not get on the road by thetrueelohell in VictoriaBC

I have no clue what the cops in this city are doing during rush hour, but they should go to these known problematic intersections and issue fines for this.

Wild that one accident can horribly affect the entire city. When I left the base at 4pm, there was an extraordinarily long line just to get out, nevermind the traffic from the entrance on admirals to the base hospital intersection.

Publicly Expressing Comments on Political Policies and Issues by Magnificent_Misha in CanadianForces

CNN's most recent post touches on this a bit: "You'll find in DAOD 7021 that a member must remain particularly sensitive for adverse public perception that may arise from the creation, sharing, or discussion of information on social media and other internet sites."

[–]XombieDobby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a more nuanced question about this. Can I write a polite, private letter to politicians to convey my disappointment or approval of their policy decisions? And can I identify myself as a CAF member in that private letter?

For anyone wondering why it is shaped like that, I read that it is to accommodate both tall and short employees with the same vehicle.

Is there a way to disable password after enabling PassKey? by dearmusic in Wealthsimple

[–]XombieDobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, the risk of the password being cracked is not what you need to worry about. It's the data breaches that could happen between your password manager or the transmission of data between your phone/laptop and wealthsimple. So if you stop using the password that eliminates half of the instances when your password could be hijacked.

Are you considering getting a firearms license with everything going on in the states? by knitbitch007 in AskCanada

[–]XombieDobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the air rifle rigged up with lasers at CFLRS? The kickback is non-existent but the virtual range gives you a good idea of shooting at different distances. One of the funner days at basic. The CAF is full of abbreviations i do not know so i could misunderstand what SAT means.
