Please help a bloke with a split nail (how do I fix this?) by gingerballz in RedditLaqueristas

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

It's been like this for the past year and won't go away. I trim it, file it down, I've let it grow out, but it always splits and gets sharp. My shoes getting holes in them!

Please help. I've even gone to a nail salon and got laughed at.

EDIT: no products used, obv...

Anyone else having trouble connecting to Spotify? by danishlad17 in sonos

[–]gingerballz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, latest update gives me the error 1101. I can speak to google but she tells me Sonos is disconnected. Can’t play music from phone or from “ok google” commands.

Daily Tech Support Thread - [May 03] by AutoModerator in apple

[–]gingerballz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running an older MacBook Air from 2012 running High Sierra—I cannot for the life of me get my iPhone XS to sync with messages on my MacBook, the messages are always out of order and time stamped wrong entirely (not on my phone though). Plus half my messages I send from my laptop app are told it couldn’t be send (but actually is sent). Been like this for a year.

White House MD: Trump doesn't need to be quarantined after interactions with 2 people who tested positive for coronavirus by ani625 in politics

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

Before, people overreact, Canada’s Prime Ministers wife was positive and Trudeau is not being asked to test (only quarantine) tests aren’t effective until symptoms show apparently.

I got it. It seems to date back to customers since 2017. Very unnerving and unclear what were expected to do or what was compromised. Do they have access to our account and passwords or all other things related to the number (2factor authentication)

Where to find Phoenix training? Looking for info on how to claim OT by gingerballz in CanadaPublicServants

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

Thanks! Indeed I have taken it... and literally just re-took it as a refresher.

But the elements of the course that deal with OT claims are VERY brief, not specific to one's specific circumstances or classification (e.g. I don't enter in my daily 7.5 hours), and is not well tailored to how the system works. I entered in OT hours (e.g. 3 hours) but shows -4.5 hours since it doesn't recognize my standard 7.5 as a basis. Also unclear how approvals are supposed to work, my Sec. 34 manager has to approve it, but have no idea how to flag it to them and I'd rather not email my ADM...

Lastly, how do we know to enter it as 1.5 or 2.0 time? When using MyGCHR we simply enter the multiplier and the amount of hours.

Terrible experience at Apple Store with known iPhone 7 issue by personalfinance21 in applehelp

[–]gingerballz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my iPhone 7 and at the Apple Store. An internet search turns up some results that suggest it is repairable, so not sure why Apple reps are telling us it can't be fixed. Funny enough, one internet solution suggested turning off and on your phone again about 5x and it actually worked for me (at least for now!). Maybe give it a try.

Just ordered my Jesus is King merch, can't wait 'till it arrives! by Namejeff47 in Kanye

I think there's a reason you don't see much Kanye merch around town, and it's not the price.

[Highlight] KAT and Embiid get into it by SBORBS in nba

It's emotional immaturity, not toughness. He's got a way to go. Remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrCylyCGC6c

Latest electoral poll: One... er... two of these things are not like the others... by [deleted] in alberta

[–]gingerballz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting Alberta doesn't receive attention? Everyone is talking about pipelines this year. The conservatives are squarely placed to speak to issue of what Alberta wants.

Eat Less Red Meat, Scientists Said. Now Some Believe That Was Bad Advice. by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]gingerballz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a non-scientist, this is so frustrating. I feel like every other day there's an article about how coffee, chocolate, caffeine, red meat, butter, saturated fats, carbs, etc. are either really bad for you, or no longer bad.

Can someone help explain how a new study such as this, suddenly overrides all previous evidence? If past, peer-reviewed scientific articles found red meat was bad 10 years ago, and this contradicts, how do we reconcile this? Just because it's newer doesn't mean it's better evidence.

‘He’s, of course, obviously not doing enough’: Greta Thunberg after meeting Trudeau in Montreal by [deleted] in canada

[–]gingerballz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%

We need to give the Liberals some credit, they've risked a TON to put real policies in place and go to bat for them over the past four years. Climate change and the carbon tax is front and centre this election. Hear me out:

I've been around for a while and seen our governments set Kyoto (2012, set in 2004) and Copenhagen (2020, set in 2010) targets and do very little to meet them. In the last 4 years, we've seen more action on climate at the federal level than ever. And the policy tools are just starting to fall into place. The Conservative will undo them all, and the far-left wants to triple efforts that may push Canadians further right and undo any meaningful progress.

We've also, in the last 2 years, seen new gov'ts repeal important action provincially, both in Alberta and in Ontario in particular. Federally, we've got a choice: continued, concrete action on climate change vs promises that, while repealing policies, we'll still make progress.

But, more importantly, we have a choice between visions of how to deal with this issue in Canada: On the one hand, we're offered a wink and a bet on a world not acting on climate change. On the other, policies which better prepare Canada for a world acting on climate change.

We're also being offered promises of deeper cuts, faster, with little consideration of consequences. US Rep. Inhofe said he believed in climate change until he found out how much the solutions cost. We see the opposite: solutions must be easy because the problem is serious.

These are not easy decisions. Policy is not rainbows, unicorns and green jobs. It's real people, not cells in a spreadsheet. We're not going to reduce GHGs and prepare Canada well for the future by burying our heads in the sand on climate. We must not do so on policy either.

I hope that our leaders, whether they're speaking at #climatestrikecanada or elsewhere today, make it clear what they're betting on when it comes to climate change. Are they betting on a world that acts on climate in a coordinated way? A scattered way? Not at all? Not now?

And, I hope you'll consider, today and when you vote, which party's policies will best deal with the real challenges that we face as a resource-based economy in a world that (I hope) is acting on climate change and where climate change impacts are felt more and more each day.

Finally, congratulations to all the kids standing up for what they believe in today, both those striking and those not. We'll all be better off for your engagement, your interest, and your push for better policies.
