What phones are the government people using that are supposedly secure enough to discuss war plans? iPhone? Android? Some special custom-made phone specifically for the government? in c/[email protected]

News flash, your assumption that they're using secure phones is false.

how tf do you warm up plates? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

If you want to use the microwave for this, pop in a plate with some water, then heat it up for 1-2 minutes, take it out with something that doesn't absorb water (or the hot water will wick through the material to your hand and burn you) dump the water in the sink and quickly wipe with a dish towel to dry before using.

Other methods include warming it in an oven set very low, or heating it in hot water from a sink.

In a restaurant, they may just grab a plate that has just come out of the dishwasher since industrial dishwashers are really fucking hot.

Our Conservatives make the democrats in the US look right wing.

Dumb shit can't understand that sharing a name doesn't make them the same.

Pretty much every country is failing to meet their climate targets. That's not the same as just walking away from a trade agreement you signed with your neighbor and slapping 25% tariffs on everything.

Trump snaps back at reporter over his authority to skip courts, claims "no judge can assume the duties of the President" in c/[email protected]

That ain't how the current supreme court interprets it, so let them eat cake.

If the supreme court agrees, we'll get to test how well the second amendment helps maintain a free country.

I'm going to assume it does nothing, and all the gun deaths were for nothing.

Good. At least some Americans still like us.

Remember, we're you're friend. You have asked for our help many times and we've had your back.

From taking in your people during 9/11 to backing you up against China and Russia.

From selling you resources to allowing you to show off our best hockey players.

From buying your goods and services to loaning you Ryan Reynolds.

Let's go back to being good neighbours, and drop this asshole trying to start shit between us.

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.

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.

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.
