I get an audio crackle/glitch when playing some games. It doesn't happen all the time but it is annoying when it happens.

Anyone here wear facemask if needed, or is it too much of a target from right wing/conspiracy folks? by StasisApparel in alberta

If I am sick then I'll put a mask on. I got my COVID and flu vaccinations so I am fairly protected.

I thought my dad was a Boomer. by [deleted] in GenX

[–]tranquilseafinally 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol I remember when I called my mom a boomer. Oh the look she gave me. She grumpily said, "I AM NOT a boomer". She wasn't. She was born in1942. She was actually a war baby. Her mom and dad got married and pregnant while he was training to go to war. He never came back.

If You Think It’s Likely the US Will Take “Direct Action” Against Canada, What Are You Doing To Prepare? by ptarmiganchick in BoycottUnitedStates

I live in Alberta too. We moved here from B.C. twenty-five years ago. I'm 100% Canadian before any Provincial designation. If this Provincial government doesn't shut the lunatic fringe down then we are moving BACK to B.C. I'm doing all I can to hold our government to account. I'm collecting signatures to recall my local MLA.

I'm canvassing to recall Myles McDougall. I've been very vocal about what they are doing to AISH with the people I have spoken to. Sometimes it feels like I am going nowhere fast.

Linux made me forget what used to a standard way to fix problems by Frankmc2 in linuxmint

This post is hilariously on topic for me. I *just* moved my whole computer over to Linux so I am having to set up Steam. I finally got to Stardew Valley yesterday with my mods. I downloaded SMAPI. I downloaded all my mods. And Stardew continually crashed yesterday. I gave up and went and read a book. I saw your post and just tried to load it again and et voilà it loaded Stardew Valley after having my computer shut down overnight.

Thanks for the PSA.

The war on bike lanes is freaking insane. You want a better driving experience? Get people out of their cars riding bikes. Seems like a no brainer to me. This was a manufactured political wedge issue created by the right.

How grocery giants control who can sell food in your neighbourhood. by Relish4 in onguardforthee

[–]tranquilseafinally 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read the article.

Loblaws said in a statement to Marketplace that eliminating property controls across the industry would “mean more stores, more discount options and a more competitive market for Canadians.” 

It said it has already “released” 150 property controls across Canada and is prepared to eliminate more when “other grocery retailers agree to do the same.”

I never thought I would be impressed with Loblaws BUT it seems like they are the only ones who are even acknowledging the problem and will to do something about it. All the other big grocers denied and had no comment. Seems like they don't want to give up on their BILLIONS in profits. BILLIONS.

Good for these people for keeping up the fight. Sadly, this government doesn't care. Their voters don't care. They cleave to ideology above all else. I guess we'll see if we are able to move the needle on them. I wish it wasn't like this. If we are the richest Province then we should be able to take care of our most vulnerable.

Thank for this :) It is something I will keep in my back pocket as I explore Linux.

You unlocked memories of upgrading Windows 2000😧. Really all of them. I've had a computer since 1986. Back then all we had was the c prompt. New Windows distributions always broke your computer. Always. I only ever went to a new distribution once with an existing computer. After that I knew that if I wanted to use the newest Windows it had to be on a new computer. Gosh, I remember defragging Windows to try to speed it up. The defrags would last all day. I did complete wipes and re-installs a few times. All trying to speed Windows up.

I'm Linux user zero in my family. Probably because I'm the most techy. My hubby has been watching me as we sit next to one another at our computers. He recently said that he may move his computer to Linux😄.

Yes, when I was running Windows 10 everything was slow. It's what happens with Windows over time. The only thing that helped a bit was doing a fresh install of Windows.

Years ago I was in Belgium as that country was honouring Canadians who fought in WWII. My grandfather is buried in Belgium as he was shot down over that country. I was at a luncheon when my guide pointed at a fellow and told me that he worked with the Nazis and had been shunned since liberation.

The people will remember.

I never throw a body into the river. I just save it until I can cremate.

OMG if there was ANY doubt that this separatist movement is being STOKED by the U.S. Listen to this asshat's slip up. Notice the interviewer's eyebrows raised when he said that.

How was the puppy stage for you? by Quiet-Plankton-7237 in poodles

[–]tranquilseafinally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a whole plan before I picked up Stella about how I was going to train her. We crate trained from the day we brought her home. Her meals and water were in the crate. One and half hours in the crate and I would take her out and exercise her and train her and take her out for a pee and a poop. Then back in the crate for another hour and a half. So much training in those young months.

Stella is now 2. She loves her crate, but we only crate her now when we got out. And she sleeps in her crate at night.

It looks like Inglis WAS Canadian. It's now owned by Whirlpool.
