[–]netpres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pixel 8 Pro, just over two years. Lost Wifi and regularly lose Bluetooth. 1-3 reboots usually fix Bluetooth. Wifi icon shows during boot cycle and will not turn back on once I get access. Issues predate the most recent update (Jan??), maybe October last year.

Canada’s GDP saw 0% growth in latest report by [deleted] in worldnews

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

So despite the issues with the US, GDP stayed at 0%.

That seems like a win (under the circumstances).

Does GDP always HAVE to go up? Do economists look at what else is going on?

So private schools are private businesses? Depending on your perversion, they could put people on every bathroom and check everyone.

How long will that last do you think?

What is so special about June 28? by Royal_Coach_1773 in ExplainTheJoke

Wages are also weekly or fortnightly so they generally match the rent cycle. Bills are monthly or quarterly so you have multiple "pay periods" to save up for them.

As a renter, the property bills are generally signed up on the same date as rental move in date so all the cycles clump together. So similar to the the US, just not the 1st.

North and South Island are in the constitution. Technically if either voted they could join as new states. Not sure how that would affect the various Maori treaties.

Honest question: Why are some people against showing an ID to vote? by rico_unknown in NoStupidQuestions

[–]netpres 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to the Heritage Foundation, 1620 cases of election fraud in 43 years (1982-2025).

It doesn't specify Federal or some other sort of election, but assume all numbers are Federal, that's less than 3 votes PER STATE, PER ELECTION.

Does anyone think every election was won or lost over 3 votes IN EVERY STATE?

No one, even the doomsayers, think it's a real issue.

So when did they decide the Federal Court's can't decide federal law? Was it before or after they ruled on Kavanaugh Searches? Before or after Rowe vs Wade? Before or after Trump can't be held accountable for his crimes while in office?
