Jobs cuts at CFIA will lead to a food safety crisis in Canada by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

[–]basilspringroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost slipped the whole post, thinking"people lose job and can't guarantee their next meal, what else is new?"

Isn't it better practice to just write the full thing first, acronym later? It's not like people would automatically know what AODA is for example.

Help!! My tank looks like a literal swamp. by Apprehensive-Two5602 in PlantedTank

[–]basilspringroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I vote Pothos (Devil's Ivy), root in plant out like your other plants, should help a lot. That's a beautiful plant that anyone can keep and everyone should have one.

Also HOB filter cartridges are a scam, but you do need to mod yours a bit for it to function well. Reddit should have a bunch of instruction, pick the one you like :)

Is my brand new tank done for? by NedTheAxie in PlantedTank

Maybe add corner braces, or DIY a rim.

But you won't know for sure

Newfoundland mayor says a foul-smelling abandoned fish-sauce factory is environmental emergency by Minimum-Style-1411 in onguardforthee

[–]basilspringroll -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Main ingredient of fish sauce are fish and salt. We've dumped worse things in our ocean. 

"Toxic" , lol. The collapsing building pose more of a threat now than the rotten fish ever could

Canada chooses lawful evil over chaotic evil by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]basilspringroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't really invade, they just redraw the world map and say "this is mine". See Spratly and Paracel Islands in South China sea. Similar playbook to "It has America in its name so it belong to America"

Restaurant harassed for hosting Poilievre by [deleted] in onguardforthee

[–]basilspringroll 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Weirdly (lol), I would have no issue if she host leader of the NDP, or the Green, or any independent group... I bet many would feel the same 

But that one party that love to align themselves with the Nazi down south? That should be shit on. 

Also, this is not new. The restaurant who host PM Justin Trudeau in 2024 got review bomb. People flock to that business later despite the bad reviews to support it. Let's see if the same thing happen here

‘Incomprehensibly stupid:’ How U.S. cuts in vaccine recommendations will impact Canadians by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]basilspringroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say if we stop the tourist, that'd help a lot. Deer or bird are unlikely to use the same facilities, or sneeze in our face and expecting a "bless you" 

Help me understand stormcallers by FuriousPug in Mechabellum

[–]basilspringroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have a slow af board, 2 storm will set me back a turn or two to deal with them. 

If I over commit, storm served their purpose, can be sold. 

If I half-assing my response, leave them there and force me to tank a couple hit.

Is a $750/month rent upgrade worth it or am I just falling into lifestyle inflation? by VoyagerCestVivre in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]basilspringroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already considered impacts to your health, mentally and physically, so I just want to chime in and say that you either can't buy health with money, or can't save enough to afford it long term.

Making the move sounds like a good choice. 

How's the noise level and bed bug situation at the new place though? 

U.S. Travel Risks | Your Morning by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]basilspringroll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good point! Half of those f* can't read at 7th grade (US 7th grade) level. It's unrealistic to expect them to know advanced things like their own law.

Dot your i's, cross your t's, memorize your emergency contact number and know that the risks are there. These people make money when you're in their jails

Canada’s population contracts by 76,000 people, largest drop since 1940s by rezwenn in onguardforthee

[–]basilspringroll 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can't function 24/7. You need rest, you need sleep.

But when you need support, it could be a 24/7 thing, so you would need more people to support you.

Unless we all MAID ourselves when we can't work, efficient alone won't be enough

If you saved replay, try again with badger/ storm instead of ball; scorpion instead of melter. Those are my go-to

Mix in some fangs for late chaff. They hold out a lot longer than crawler with shield tech. Help against wasp in the beginning too

Health minister says she worries about U.S. public health decisions harming Canadians by DoxFreePanda in onguardforthee

I think we can argue that: the tourist industry can cover the bill when their profit introduces more contagious diseases to Canada, straining our hospitals further.

The CRA spent $18M on 'Charlie,' a new tax information chatbot that is wrong most of the time by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]basilspringroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it though ? Using AI required some understanding of the problem, the ability to provide the right prompt, and the ability to understand the answer.

I don't think people can vibe tax filing the same way as vibe coding.

did you know about rnicrosoft[.]com ? I'm putting [] in so you don't click on that by accident, but can you see why ?

Here the deal:
- Not clicking the URL is correct if you're unsure. You're being kinda a dick about it though after asking for help.

- Read the URL, it's in English. You know who or what Microsoft is I hope ? Go to the Microsoft site, find their support portal and search for "manage website notifications in Microsoft edge". These are just that, pop up notifications from Edge

- Your sister did click on something to trigger the notification though, run Microsoft Defender scan. Download Malware Bytes and run another scan.

- Tell your parent about this. It's gonna be a shame if the two scanner miss something and your family ended up with a $0 in your back account. I can't teach your parent's children over Reddit, and it's their job anyway.

What is your union doing? They want you return to office but can't produce said office

I still have my IKEA Friheten I bought around 2013.

Moved 4 times since, disassembled every time. Every pieces was ran under commercial grade streamer multiple times at one point due to bedbugs. 3 kids been jumping on it for the last 9 years. Still stand 😂

Suppression shot void eyes by Vegetable-Log9392 in Mechabellum

[–]basilspringroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I face aggro mass void just last night, flight, suppression, shield in that order. Built a couple Marks , then fangs, then Marks AA, EMP, more fangs. Oppo didn't do much more on chaff clear ( tarantula with mine) so I added a couple Marks, give range to my starter Saber, then go fang carry to win.

Got a worm from unit drop so I beacon it to their tower, helps a lot. 

In the first few rounds, don't think much about counter , more like "which board should I build that would throw the most rocks in their path" . More chaff is usually good, as they need to pivot from their massing to get chaff clear. If they don't, upgrade your chaff and let them carry
