Never buy the first model year of any vehicle. And that includes new generations with the same model name. They always have the most problems the first year, so you're just paying to be a beta tester.

JohnnyCanuck , to No Stupid Questions in Is there a name for apartments that have flat sides, but are protruding like a clover?
@JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca avatar

That doesn't sound like a design that would work in an apartment building. How do neighbouring apartments connect?

Maybe you can draw it out? My guess is that it's actually just a big rectangle when you figure out where the bathrooms and closets are.

JohnnyCanuck , to Android in [SOLVED] Accidently damaged an MicroSD by pulling it before it had fully ejected
@JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca avatar

I had no backup, as I always considered my MicroSD as an external storage medium for such data.

I know you're not looking for advice that would have been great before things went wrong, but... When they say to have a backup up on external storage, they don't mean make the backup and then delete the original. Then the "backup" is just the original.

Also, I don't think that microSD life expectancy is that great. I wouldn't it trust it as a sole keeper of backups.

Good luck.

JohnnyCanuck , to Canada in Security Clearance
@JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca avatar

As the elected Prime Minister, you get automatic top secret security clearance. The expectation is that the democratic process would have put the person in power, so we want that person to do whatever they wish with that top secret information. Otherwise, we would be losing the power of the people and putting it in the hands of CSIS.

All appointed ministers do get security screening, as that was put in place by Harper, I think. As a leader of the opposition, Poilievre wouldn't be subject to those requirements.

As far as I know there's nothing to indicate that he wouldn't pass the check. He just doesn't want to get the security check and get the inside info, because that would limit what attacks he could make. As an outsider he can spout off whatever drivel he wants.

So, if he doesn't pass your security screening, citizen, get out and vote.

Fair enough, but to the end user it doesn't matter if it works.

@JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca avatar

Isn't that the point? This new layer is supposed to make it easier to port everything, and they're saying that's what Rosetta did for Apple/Mac.

So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

Do you know that for sure? I found this from seven months ago, if it's the same manager, he seems to be getting away with it:

Pharmacy Assistant vs Volunteer

I've applied to about 15 SDM branches across Toronto for the past month until today. My applications were mixed. Even if I applied online, I also visit the branch to personally drop my resume. There was this one branch who told me that it's nearly impossible to get inside SDM as a pharmacy assistant without Canadian pharmacy experience. I was a licensed pharmacist in my home country and I practiced clinical pharmacy for over 2 years.

According to him, the best way to get in the system and their records will be as a volunteer. He was kinda of disappointed with how the system works, claiming that SDM encourages volunteerism to save a lot on training costs. Is it true that being a volunteer will help me out once there is a vacancy or an opening for a pharmacy assistant slot? Can I use it on my future applications as well?

I didn't say I confused it with something else. I didn't imply anyone would confuse it with something else. Congratulations to everyone who already knew what it was.

Fuck this article for never saying what AOSP stands for.
