The Libertarians, NRA, etc. would be up in arms (in the original, literal meaning) over something like that, right?

And National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is wrong?

Holy shit that's the stupidest thing I've read all day. It has nothing to do with your petty personal demons. Go educate yourself and/or delete your account on Lemmy.ca.

Obsidian announces a sequel to its backyard co-op survival game Grounded—and surprisingly, it'll be in early access next month by JohnnyCanuck in c/[email protected]

I really enjoyed Grounded. Never got to the end game, but probably because I didn't really try. I just had a lot of fun exploring and fighting bugs.

No tax on tips? Experts warn against bringing U.S. proposal to Canada. by JohnnyCanuck in c/[email protected]

Instead of "no tax on tips", how about lower taxes on all low wages, including tips?

How To Swap Couplings? by JohnnyCanuck in c/[email protected]

Here's another one that does both male and female on small connectors https://youtu.be/59gWZS92zgc

How To Swap Couplings? by JohnnyCanuck in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Cut off the connector you don't need, you can leave some wire in case you ever need it for some reason, or you can cut out close and just toss it.

Cut off the one you do need, with lots of slack, and then splice on to the freshly cut wires (hopefully with solder and heat shrink.)

Connect it up and move on, hopefully you'll never need to think about it again.

If you still really don't want to do that, you can try pushing the pins out. This might help: https://youtu.be/0G7iIwfuaJ8 and this https://youtu.be/BbXX32X-Hkc

The paste might be dielectric grease to keep moisture out.

What is “cheese” called in your language? by JohnnyCanuck in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Thank you, I knew what it meant to say, but my auto-translate (in my brain) pictured a disc of fried cheese initially, and I was wondering why it felt wrong. I know just enough French to get myself into trouble.

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.

League ‘hopeful’ to add 2nd expansion team ahead of next season

The Professional Women's Hockey League will expand to Vancouver and begin play next season, the league announced on Wednesday.

The decision to expand to Vancouver had been rumoured for weeks, and was finally confirmed at a press conference in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday morning. The official announcement was made by a local under-11 girls' hockey team. The girls crowded around a podium, waving signs to show how badly they wanted Vancouver to get a PWHL team, before announcing the news.

Vancouver was chosen as the seventh PWHL franchise after an eight-month process that saw expansion bids from groups in more than 20 cities.

A deeper look into Canada's long-standing high tariffs on certain US imports and why they don't actually apply to most current trade.

"If the countries took a true approach to reciprocating tariffs, then the US would simply copy Canada's tariff quota, which would mean that neither country would pay any more based on current trade balances"
