While I don’t want PP to get a seat I think that’s a very solid move by Carney. I like his no nonsense, no games approach a lot. He just won another point with me.

Canadians apparently don’t realize how much of a privilege it is to be able to vote. Surprises me every time.

I work with some real dickheads. I would have heard.

That’s what I am think. I just commented above that I haven’t met anybody yet who wants this. I can’t believe this is a common stance.

I haven’t heard anybody really voicing this wish in person here at all. Seems odd it’s so “popular”.

Thanks. I agree with flaps being impractical. I have only made one bag with a flap and for a reason. They are in the way most of the time. I added the one pocket because I have a smaller handbag with one for a smartphone and I actually use it! Quick in and out.

The larger bag (no dividers, pockets etc inside) would make it a lengthier search for the phone. So a pocket made sense to me.

Regarding dividers and pockets: I honestly don’t like them. I never add anything because I prefer to have a couple of pouches for smaller things instead. I transfer EDC items often from bag to bag and it’s a hassle if not portable but in x pocket in each bag. Also dividers often flop around and stuff gets caught.

One thing I always add my bags to the inside is a D-ring close to the zipper front. I use S -carabiners to hook my keys. I hate searching for keys!

I also learned I don’t like floppy bags. Always prefer structured bags that hold shape. And a clean, uncluttered outside. I often use minimal hardware and definitely no decorative rivets etc. The simple styles showcase good leather best.

And wasn’t that ever genius? He fired us up and united us even more. And he gave the movement a name that’s now worldwide recognized. I have seen tons of people from Europe, Australia and even Asia use it.

Even annex is too soft

Agree with that. Now is not the time to pick a fight with China. I was surprised that Carney picked China here. The much bigger threat is the USA. We don’t have to be best friends with China but I think to have a strategic trade partnership is crucial right now to eliminate ties with USA as much as possible.

 

I now have sometimes (!) the issue that it triggers the outlet (Meross brand) on and then right away off again. So odd! It’s supposed to go on when fitness focus comes on and off when fitness focus is disabled.

Could it be that it’s a Meross plug issues?

Coral charm peony (self.gardening)

My first one to flower is literally the most unexpected. I had bought several a few years back and I had a lot of root pieces left in the box. I dumped them in a corner of the chicken garden. They were doing super well and now the first to flower if from this “leftover bits” planting. Lol

Lesson here is plant every single piece!

I would love to start a (maybe monthly?) WIP showcase. Any interest? I’ll comment on what I am working on below. Feel free to add yours as well

Mod 101 (self.lemmy_ca_support)
 

Is there a mod 101 or something? I have two communities but I am unsure how it all works. No issues yet but how do I remove a post etc? Also can I see somewhere who the users are? One of mine has 29 subscribers but that surprises me. Is there a way to check if that’s true/who they are?

 

I got a message a couple of times now over night that a shortcut was activated. I am pretty new to this so I don’t have much. I only get these messages on and off now since I created a shortcut that activates when I switch to fitness focus. I have other automations, mostly manually triggered (outlet on/off stuff). And one that is timed for Sunday night. I can’t figure out what triggers these messages now. Like last night at 10:40pm while I was asleep and my sleep mode on.

Design discussion (self.leathercraft)

I would love to discuss designs and esthetics here as well. I got this new closure for a handbag and I am wondering if I need to go with a somewhat round or even just rounded corners?! Any ideas?

Fantastic workout by Jenn this week. 30 minutes with some HIIT moves (squat jumps and side jumps). Also great outfits and Madonna songs. Highly recommend it. link
