I listened to a story from an ER surgeon. He says the hardest part about crash victims with dogs loose in the car is when their dogs bones fuse with the owners and it's near impossible tell the difference between the two to separate them. It's difficult because if they don't get it all, the body will reject the accidental cross species bone grafting.

Including the high likelihood of ejecting a dog out of the car, this inspired me to get my dog a car harness.

What's the best way to meaningfully push back on this type of divisive politics?

[–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

True, at least when you share the results with others, the energy used is shared between everyone.

Sometimes I see these videos and want to know what they talk about but don't want to throw away hours of my life listening to them. And this is the only way I get both.

I'd really like to self host something like this so I can see how much power it's using.

Title: Mark Carney Faces A Turning Point

  • Mark Carney, the Canadian Prime Minister, is at a turning point in his leadership, highlighted by a recent humorous pancake flipping incident at the Calgary Stampede.
  • Despite a relatively positive polling period, Carney has yet to deliver substantial results, with only minor initiatives like an income tax cut and Bill C5 on the table.
  • Major issues, such as housing, remain largely unaddressed, raising concerns about the government's effectiveness.
  • Carney's handling of international relations, particularly with the U.S. and NATO, is scrutinized, as public patience may wane if concessions lead to unfavorable outcomes.
  • The upcoming trade deal deadline of July 21st poses challenges; public expectations may clash with the reality of necessary compromises.
  • There is growing concern regarding the government's increasing spending and the potential for significant national deficits, projected to reach around $310 billion over the next four years.
  • The delay in releasing a budget suggests a reluctance to disclose spending plans, which could lead to public discontent once revealed.
  • While government debt can be manageable if it fuels economic growth, long-term structural deficits without clear repayment strategies could pose risks.
  • The public's patience with Carney is expected to diminish as pressing questions about spending priorities and benefits to ordinary Canadians remain unanswered.
  • The government must shift its focus from large resource projects to addressing immediate economic needs, such as housing and affordability, to maintain public support.

I had no idea this was about to happen. Why the heck did the government attack the office, which supports Canadian citizens? They should be focusing on consequences for the the way the app influences people in an unhealthy way, and is a force of foreign political coercion.

I guess the pandemic wasn't long enough to get all the way through my backlog. I've been slowly making my way through even now. I've been told it's a travesty that I haven't played yet.

Thanks for that, almost pulled the trigger so I can have an all in one solution for running immich with AI, perplexica and other self hosted AI things. Currently I just serve the processing power from my MacBook and desktop PC.

Parvovirus is a puppy owners worst nightmare. It's kind of puppy ebola but super contagious and high mortality rate.

Typically puppy owners never accept a puppy younger than 8 weeks without their first vaccination. And don't let them go out in places exposed to other unknown dogs until after the second vaccination at 16 weeks. So those early weeks should be spent with other vaccinated puppies to socialise them. And if you are going out, carry them or put them in a cart, or take them places you know no sick dogs have been within a year.

Yet another reason why raising puppies is so much harder than people think.

I was obsessed, played it to death. I was so sad when they shut it down.

I was obsessed with Myst, I loved the whole series, except maybe Myst 5. I so wanted Uru to turn into something.

When my dad gave me Myst, I had no idea what CD-ROMs were, so I put it in the cd player. Then he showed me the fancy new family Compaq computer and it's amazing CD ROM drive.

Did you play the new 3D version of Riven? I've never had so much childhood nostalgia as I did with that!

I like Doctor Who, but acknowledge it's entirely BS. He says, "Time travel doesn't work that way." You must accept that no plot holes can be filled by a time machine that can go anywhere, anytime. There would never be a plot if he could go back and fix it anyway, so we are stuck in a world where everything happens for maximum drama only. I can see why it's exhausting.

 

Sometimes, when uploading to some sites, if I upload images with resolution and size within the correct parameters, the server doesn't re-compress the images. If the images do get compressed, then they come out looking degraded.

I don't know if those settings are per-server.

Does anyone know if there is a preferred resolution, file type and file size for photos and videos on pixelfed in general or pixelfed.ca?

 

Looks like it will take some time to figure it out, but the developer ljdawson is looking into Lemmy support for sync.

This app is so smooth, and caching posts and comments for offline use while on the plane or in low reception areas is a clutch feature for me.
