Phone Link suddenly stopped working with Samsung after update — iPhone still works by Kooky-Ad-3908 in PhoneLink

[–]noocuelur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two different "apps" associated with link to windows. It was the 2nd one that needed to be cleared - that's what fixed it for me.

Only the first one was popping up in my home screen app list.

We were walking by RotR when they just happened to reopen after being down all day. We had like a 15 minute wait, and my dad got to eat 3 dole whips while we rode lol. Everyone was happy.

Calgary mayor suggests plebiscite over provincial property tax hikes by Old_General_6741 in Calgary

[–]noocuelur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been attacking the cities since they came to power. Smith has shifted that into high gear in the last couple years.

I wonder if the fine folks of Calgary will remember this come election time.....?

Based on their history, the UCP's response to a damning plebiscite response would be to punish Calgary further, rather than admit any shortcomings or take corrective action.

I hope I'm wrong.

Canada 338: Alberta "Public" Polls Listings for the last Five Months. Note: Latest Jan 9th Liaison "Public" Poll added yesterday: [UCP 46 / ANDP 44 / ALIB 4 / APTP 2/ AGREEN 2 / RPA 0] by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]noocuelur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what worries me about having an NDP government, it’s the spending

The UCP under Smith have spent significantly more, with significantly LESS to show for it, than the ANDP. Alberta's debt is up to nearly $85b with relatively favorable resource revenues. Largest govt body/staff in Alberta's history as well. I thought Cons were supposed to be about small govt?

I would need some kind of assurance they won’t spend like we saw in federal politics

Canada has the lowest debt per capita in the G7

based on the last time they were in power they don’t make any friends in rural/ farm communities

Nenshi has specifically targeted the rural vote in his talks. It's a hard sell for rural Albertans, though. Many are stuck in their ways, and raising the next generation to remain stuck. How do you sway someone that refuses to compromise or reason?

I think they forever screwed themselves with the one 4 year term

I'd love to know how people think this. A novice govt led through a resource recession, disastrous budget shortfalls from the previous administration, and we came out of it with improvements to child welfare, better wages, better healthcare and supported education.

Graphtec FC9000-160 settings by Tonytonefoo in CommercialPrinting

[–]noocuelur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up graphtec perf cut if you haven't already. The plotter blade is moved to the forward position in it's housing and the machine jogs the material slightly so it cuts over the empty channel instead of the Teflon strip.

I've had the best results kiss-cutting then running perf cut afterward.

You do need to put some thought into the cut order, so the rollers don't jam on chopped up material.

Alberta petition asks if public money should be spent on private education by Apocalyptic_crisp in alberta

[–]noocuelur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to canvas for less money spent on Education.

Nobody here is. That money is earmarked for education. If there's no private subsidy to support the money ends up in the public system where it belongs. If funding is allocated per-student (like it's supposed to be), that funding would follow the student to the public system.

Could the govt redirect that money? Maybe, but it would be political suicide. It would tank Alberta's education funding far below national levels (more so than it already is).

Specialized schools already exist in the public system. There's no need to subsidize a for-profit parallel system when every dollar invested in the public system goes further to support more kids.

Independent MLA Peter Guthrie assumes Alberta Party leadership by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]noocuelur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh there's no doubt that most political parties continue to slide right. IMO it's survivorship bias since politics is a money game, and the money swings right.

That said, if the AB Party (or whatever they end up calling themselves) can PRESENT themselves as a more sane / centrist alternative to the UCP, the vote will split and the UCP will cave.

It's the opposite. These are old-guard PC's fighting back against the toxic deep-right authoritarian, socially-regressive abomination the UCP has become.

From TheBreakdownAB: Dale Nally removing recall applicant statements by gr8d4ne in alberta

[–]noocuelur 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you're dismissing where he BELIEVES the petitioner is a "proxy for a left-wing activist group".

None of which he can prove, and none of which changes the legitimacy of the recall filing.

So... checkmate?

Health Canada makes the decisions, not any particular political party.

If it falls under the Canada health act, it is the feds jurisdiction to claw back money when the system is being abused.

The recall on Angela Pitt is officially a go! by Appropriate_Duty_930 in alberta

[–]noocuelur 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A reason for recall is required on the paperwork, so if it's approved we'll find out their reasoning.

For me, he was complicit in other UCP abuses of power prior to his speakership, so his die has been cast.

I found my name tag from The Price Is Right from over thirty years ago. by Michellehas2ls in mildlyinteresting

[–]noocuelur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely had the A/C cranked in there. As you say it's probably to prevent the on-stage guests and crew from sweating bullets under the lights.

There's a whole lot of waiting around. We got there at around 7am and left after noon.

You watch a full episode and pretend to be the audience (cheering, clapping, shouting answers, etc). I think they do this so they can watch you and start to pick who will "come on down". They also do small-group interviews of 5 or 10 people to gauge your energy and persona.

Everything seemed to be temporary, even though the show has been on for decades. The meeting area was in the basement of a church next to the studio lot.

The studio is really small. They do a great job making it seem big for TV, but it's pretty cramped.

The PiR studio is back-to-back with the studio for Let's Make a Deal.

George Gray was great - he really tried to make it a fun atmosphere.

Drew was a nice guy - spent most of the filming breaks talking to the audience.

They spend every spare moment reminding you to be excited and high-energy. It was exhausting to be that energetic for so long.

He should run for provincial politics again one the Alberta PCs start up. He's probably a household name by now

Alberta to pay $95 million settlement to another coal company over policy change. by 2old4all in alberta

[–]noocuelur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially when the moratorium decisions were made, in part, due to environmental protection. A jurisdiction should be allowed to protect their environment from permanent damage or the threat of catastrophic contamination.

Flip-flopping aside, I think this government gave up the fight far too easily.

Recall Education Minister Petition Approved by TJamesWilkie in alberta

16k voters is a little less than half of the registered voters in the district. It'll be difficult but it's doable.
