This Modular Phone Concept Is Xiaomi’s Plan to Kill the Camera Bump in c/[email protected]
[–] BlameThePeacock 9 points 2 hours ago

There's zero chance this catches on, nobody wants to get rid of a camera bump badly enough to carry around a second device.

What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm? in c/[email protected]
[–] BlameThePeacock 3 points 5 hours ago

Technically bows are also generally more quiet, but that's a very small point most of the time.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth orders a halt to offensive cyber operations against Russia in c/[email protected]
[–] BlameThePeacock 16 points 6 hours ago

Because the two countries have been attacking each other economically, politically, intellectually, and digitally for decades now.

Just because people aren't shooting guns at each other doesn't mean a war isn't happening.

The US is also at war with China.

It wouldn't work with the ndp at all. The bq might with exactly the right set of accommodations, but you're right it will be tenuous

Anyone under the age of thirty is a little kid. Do you agree? in c/nostupidquestions

I'm almost 40, I disagree.

You arent an infant after about 12ish, but it can vary depending on the kid.

Why build for tomorrow when it's someone else's tomorrow, someone who would never build for you? in c/[email protected]
[–] BlameThePeacock 11 points 1 day ago

Not really how our monkey brains work generally. We're biologically programmed to do lots of things, like want to have babies (or at least sex and not be smart about it) and to take care of them. Not everyone does a good job, but historically speaking it's led to a population of a few hundred people turning into a few billion.

Why Vermont farmers are using urine on their crops in c/[email protected]
[–] BlameThePeacock 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Feces aren't a no-no, they just need to be treated very carefully as you mentioned.

We use non-human feces all the time for farming.

Tl;dr

All the waste products of humans (carbon dioxide, urine, feces) are food for plants.

And all the Plants are food for humans.

It's the CIIIIIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE

Remember republicans, you are the ones who handed your country away.

do you know a website where i can ask my questions related to finance and wealth management? in c/[email protected]
[–] BlameThePeacock 1 points 2 days ago

No, you can ask, the answer is that anyone with that kind of specialized knowledge is not handing it out for free to random people on the internet. The places that you could obtain it are expensive or require social groups that random lemmy trolls don't have.

B.C. Conservatives plan $11B deficit in first year, higher than NDP or Greens (www.timescolonist.com)
 

The party of fiscal responsibility ya'll

They say it will be caught up to with growth, which they've predicted to be above 5% per year... no way that happens, major banks are predicting sub 2% growth.

He stands by the party member who made derogatory comments about indigenous and Muslim people.

Please judge him and find him wanting.

BC Conservatives promise $3K housing rebate (bc.ctvnews.ca)
 

The title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like it's a one time payment. It's very different, he's promising to exempt up to $3000 a month towards your housing costs from income taxes. Starting at $1500 a month in 2026 and going up $500 a year for 3 more years. At the max, it would be a $36,000 a year tax deduction which is absolutely massive, that's half of the average family income.

Great idea? It's complicated, but probably not a good idea.

When you make something "cheaper" for everyone like this in a supply constrained market, all that does is drive up the prices of rents and housing sale prices since people can now use that freed up money to pay more for those.

Also, his plan to pay for this multi-billion dollar plan is:

“Obviously, we need to take a look at this reckless spending that David Eby has put in place in terms of how to sort of rein in some of that spending,” said Rustad.

So that's not really "fiscally conservative" at all.

Video shows B.C. Conservative Rustad saying he regrets getting 'so-called vaccine' (bc.ctvnews.ca)
 

This asshole is literally a conspiracy theorist. He says it was about controlling the population, not stopping the spread of the virus.

Which countries (and even provinces) had the fewest covid deaths per capita? Oh.. the ones with the highest vaccination rates.

Everyone with a brain knows vaccines reduce illness, that's why we have the fucking things.

Police board to invite rights commissioner to hear impact of cancelling school liaison officer program (www.timescolonist.com)

Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.
