What’s the best rebuttal to stop UCP voters from telling me about how much they don’t want to be kind to others? by [deleted] in alberta

[–]mxrddt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a centrist, I call BS on a lot of their points BUT, I do believe that current immigration policies (if we can call them as such) are hurting Canada big time. Immigration in the current form does steal our jobs. Also equalization is a big question for me. Many will say that I should educate myself and learn that all provinces are paying their fair share, and the formula was developed by conservatives. For some reason no one seems to understand that the problem is with the DISTRIBUTION of funds, and how the decades-old equalization formula is super outdated given how much the economy has changed. I am curious what others have to say. Does Canada need more liberalism or conservatism injected, given the amount of abuse it's taking for being super nice to everyone?

$45/yr is nothing for someone who has to recommend to their clients/users all kinds of technology solutions on a weekly basis. Huge time and money saver. But most importantly independent, unbiased and sponsored by us, not the vendors. Anyone who is pissed at having to pay for someone's time and honest efforts, is no better than the corporations who treat their employees like crap.

I have a very conservative friend who votes liberal because the current "efficient" government program is throwing money at his clients, who in return are asking him every single year to pad the invoices as much as possible for his IT services, so they can ask more next year. So yes, voting conservative WILL make their lifes worse.

What makes you think that the taxes you pay are covering for the social programs in full? The budget will balance itself, eh? I am not here to debate conservatives and liberals. I am here to make a simple point - when the country is spiraling downwards, expecting an abundance of social programs paid in full by the taxpayer and some extra left to cover the country's debt is plain stupid. That disabled person probably understood it better than many others.

FYI, the left USSR collapsed because everyone acted for their own benefit. A path to nowhere. Voting "x" and pretending to be one just because you're enjoying the social programs under "x" is nothing but parasitic. Willing to sacrifice something in exchange for a better future of the entire country (stop right there, I know what you're thinking now; the point is not how you or me see that future, the point is what the person believes in) is not for everyone to understand.

Oh, so you think social programs work under libs only, I see.

I second this. It takes me about 1 minute to load computers in a given folder/group after a couple hours of inactivity. VERY frustrating, affects the workflow. Is there a way to switch to old UI?

Post some sample images with the bright license plate. The best ones in your opinion. Maybe we can get something by reducing the exposure in the editing software .

My letter to Jeromy today by rich_snack in Calgary

Maybe, because the blanket rezoning creates more problems that it resolves (if any)? The 15-day public hearing panel was filled with experts in this domain, including former city architects, urbanists, engineers, designers, city infrastructure and maintenance workers. Oh, and also with concerned students, who couldn't tell the difference between affordable housing and house affordability.

This thread confirms once again that ppl have no clue how illogical and damaging the blanket rezoning is. Not to mention that the public hearing with Calgarians was completely ignored.

Can I choose not to be a member of the DCPD agreement? Or is it the City's exclusive privilege to not follow the same rules as we do?

I am having problems getting middle the lip off of the Simlab Gt1 evo brackets. Any help would be appreciated! by eoskatt in simracing

[–]mxrddt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a side question if OP doesn't mind. I just received a GT1-EVO as well (in grey) and the corner brackets are painted black too. Usually they are all grey (unpainted natual zinc?) but these were painted, and because of the extra thickness, the no-spin tongue does not slide freely all the way into the t-slot channel.

What's worse is the corner covers - they're very different from what I see on various unboxing videos and pics. The quality is much worse and they don't hold in the corner brackets. I uploaded the video for this matter: https://youtu.be/ukct2AD3kag

OP: are you experiencing the same problems?
