Canada leaders agree to unite against Trump tariff threat amid reports of retaliatory measures in c/[email protected]
[–] Dwayne_Elizondo_Mountain_Dew_Camacho 3 points 4 days ago

He's just using this as leverage to get more concessions out of Canada and Mexico. He's announcing the tariffs months before he can even try to implement them.

It's gonna work too. Look how we're scrambling about border security in Canada now.

I wish the rest of the world would just stand up to him and impose the same tarifs on the US. He would cave: he's just a bully full of hot air. And I'm being nice.

The US consumer could finally get to see what they actually voted for.

But what do I know: actions don't seem to have consequences anymore.

I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? in c/[email protected]

I had a similar thing happen to me with Dark City. It took me 30 minutes to realize that the contrast on my TV was turned all the way down and that in fact, you were supposed to see something that wasn't just really, really dark.

Sorry this is taking so long between replies. You know, life stuff...

So I'm still at "Operating system not found”.

Here are screen captures taken with the Pop_OS live usb. First is from Disks, second is GParted.

Am I crazy or there's no boot partition? At this point I'm ready to switch to another distro but I'm still conviced I'm doing something incredibly stupid and I might learn something.

I am starting the process to immigrate to Canada from the US. Maybe unsurprisingly I find I have no ideas where I would like to live. I do enjoy mountains, and don't want to be in the heart of a city. in c/[email protected]

Inside the Ruthless, Restless Final Days of Trump’s Campaign in c/[email protected]
[–] Dwayne_Elizondo_Mountain_Dew_Camacho 3 points 4 weeks ago

For me, this paragraph sums it up:

_Several campaign officials had told me, throughout the spring and summer, how excited they were about working in the next Trump White House. Now those same people were telling me—as paperwork was being distributed internally to begin the process of placing personnel on the transition team and in the prospective administration—that they’d had a change of heart. The past three months had been the most unpleasant of their careers. Win or lose, they said, they were done with the chaos of Donald Trump—even if the nation was not. _

They had to be right next to Trump to realize how toxic he is. How voluntarily blind can you be?

They're gonna save themselves (of course), but will they do anything to save the country from Trump? No, of course not, that would require a spine.

I looked at every single thing in there and there wasn't anything about windows whatsoever. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I tried changing the order in Bios and switching order manually with F12. Same result. : (

Yeah, the black screen... When I did it and it went black, it came back to me that I had tried that before with the same result. I'm a slow learner! lol

I hope it’s OK to post to this community to ask for help. If not, just let me know where I should go.

The Initial Situation

I have an old Aspire E1-472G with a GeForce 820M, which I’d like to give to my son who loves to play “There’s poop in my soup.” The laptop was fine with Mint for Office stuff and browsing, but I couldn’t get it to use the 820m to play games: it would always default to the onboard video card. I tried switching to the Nvidia drivers but all I got was a black screen. So I decided to format and install a gaming-friendly version of Linux. I opted for Pop!_OS, since it looked like it may solve my 820 m problem.

The Problem

I created a Pop!_OS boot USB drive, installation went fine, used defaults for partitions, rebooted, took out the USB drive and… “Operating System not found.”

What I did

Checked boot order: SSD drive is #2, right after USB.

Boot mode: Legacy Bios, but I’ve tried UEFI also–same result.

Tried reinstalling: same

Looked for help online: After reading dozens of posts and their solutions, I can’t get it to work but I suspect it has something to do with Boot Mode or the partitioning, but I can’t figure it out.

My level of skill

I come from Windows and I have installed Mint a few times. I can copy paste stuff in the Terminal, but really, I’m pretty much useless besides that.

What I Hope to Get

I’m not set on POP_OS so if there’s an easier solution, I’m all ears. I think I’m just overlooking something that would be obvious to a more experienced person.

Thanks for your help!

** Update 2024-11-03**

I had some time this morning to tinker with it.

Things I've tried

1-Manually change boot order/put ssd first in BIOS: same result

2-Tried reinstalling while manually doing the partition: same result.

3-While rebooting with boot key, I checked the files on the SSD: I'm no expert, but everything seems there. bin, boot, dev, etc, home, ...

4-Currently downloading the boot repair disk octopus_ink recommendend. It's 2.6G so it's taking a while.

Options I got left

1-Update the bios: seems easier said than done. I'm gonna have to read up on that. 2-Probably my next move: just give up and try another distro! I'm looking at Nobara. https://nobaraproject.org/

Thanks for the suggestions. If ever I get it to work, I'll report back.

Canada Post mail carrier suspended for refusing to deliver 'sex-change ban' flyer: union rep (www.brantfordexpositor.ca)
 

_More flyers on the horizon

Campaign Life Coalition has already registered as a third-party advertiser with Elections New Brunswick ahead of the Oct. 21 race, previously telling Brunswick News it plans to issue a voters’ guide and other materials.

Under third-party advertising rules, individuals and groups are entitled to each spend up to $17,600 province-wide on election advertising during the official campaign period.

However, Elections New Brunswick has acknowledged it doesn’t have the power to investigate complaints of collusion between groups, political parties and candidates to get around spending-limit rules. It also doesn’t have the power to levy administrative fines if parties are found to be in violation of the rules.
Article content

Elections New Brunswick asked for both of those powers in a 2019 electoral reform report submitted to the legislature. Only two out of 108 reform recommendations in the report were acted upon, according to Elections New Brunswick.

New Brunswick homeowners facing another year of surging property assessments — and taxes (www.cbc.ca)
 

While almost every home owner will get a higher property bill this year, can you guess who will get to pay less?

According to provincial assessment figures, the city's largest industrial property, the Irving Oil refinery, has received an assessment increase of 1.66 per cent for 2024.   

However, under provincial government property tax rules, Saint John's 2.5 per cent property tax rate cut has to be shared equally with all property owners. That will reduce municipal property taxes collected on the refinery in 2024 by about $25,000.

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin feared dead after Russia plane crash (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia's civil aviation authority has said.

Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

The jet, which was flying from Moscow to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.

Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces in June.

Grey Zone said local residents heard two bangs before the crash and saw two vapour trails.

Tass news agency said the plane caught fire on hitting the ground, adding that four bodies had already been found.

The aircraft had been in the air for less than half an hour, it said.
