I mean, I know trump is just an idiot repeating things he's been told or has heard somewhere on repeat but there is something credible to that idea.

It's the one downside in my opinion to protected areas and parks. No one is allowed to do anything in them that is seen as unnatural. I wouldn't suggest logging a park but selectively removing and cleaning up debris / dead trees should definitely be a thing.

They are a giant fire hazard.

A natural forest has regular fires to clear out the underbrush and dead debris. Parks never allow fires to occur and that dead debris builds up to a point that if a fire did happen, absolutely nothing would survive the heat whereas smaller more regular fires would allow for some of the older and stronger trees to survive and repopulate, depending on the forest ecosystem.

I was told the "effectiveness" as toilet paper was as a prank by foresters to newbies and purportedly causes an itchy butt hole when all the little fibres from the leaves which make them soft then break off and coat your crack.

I do hate them, though, as they totally take over disturbed areas and are difficult to remove.

Contact your representatives to ban rodent poison. My area just recently banned the use of many of them.

Taking the high road makes you feel better about yourself. It doesn't win a fight with someone playing dirty.

The Democrat "voters" haven't had a choice. It's the Democrat party that has pushed for Biden so hard and not allowed any opportunity for voters to choice someone else before now.

The democratic party wants Biden as president.

I suspect the majority of Democrat voters do not want him to run again.

I've always felt that land zoned for residential without anyone living on it should be heavily taxed, and residential land should be exponentially taxed depending on the size of it.

I see all this empty land in the middle of large cities doing nothing because someone bought a few acres 20 years ago and they are just sitting on it waiting for the price to go up and up and up when someone else could be building housing on it.

I never understood the point in clearing encampments.

They have no where to go, a new encampment will just pop up around the corner or they will come back in a few weeks.

Either help them get out of the situation they are in, or make some sort of permanent encampment area which is monitored and maintained. A city near me has an encampment where they provide outhouses, garbage cans, social workers stop by regularly, people are able to be monitored for things like heatstroke in the summer, firefighters can keep an eye out for fire hazards like rusty propane bottles etc.

Better to have people in a spot that you know about and can help than splintered into numerous little groups you know nothing about.

To make it confusing, Alberta follows daylight savings while Saskatchewan does not.

So if you li e anywhere else in Saskatchewan you don't change your clocks

If you live in Saskatchewan-side Lloydminster you do as it follows Alberta's clocks.

From what I understand.

It looks like wasted space but there are 264 houses in the circular communities south of the highway and only 230 houses in the other area to the west of them.

Looks like a lot less roads as well

It would be neat if they planted wild and native plants and trees between the circular communities instead of lawns of grass.

Just bought a ROG STRIX 850w PSU and it came with this monstrosity of a cable that I've never seen before.

The two ends are entwined between eachother in a way that you can't un-entangle without popping an end piece off

Is this an actual real cable design or is it mis-manufactured? It offends my sensibilities.

Hello,

I am looking for some advice to help me out at my job. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.

So, basically my boss is a complete technophobe and all of our data is stored across multiple excel files in drop box and I'm looking for a way to change that into a centralized database. I know my way around a computer but writing code is not something I have ever been able to grasp well.

The main issue with our situation is that our workers are all completely remote, and no I don't mean work from home in the suburbs from a home office. They use little laptops with no data connection and go out gathering data every day from a variety of locations, sometimes not even cell coverage.

We need up to 20 people entering data all day long and then updating a centralized database at the end of the day when they get back home and have internet connection. It will generally all be new entries, no one will need to be updating old entries.

It would be nice to have some sort of data entry form in drop box and a centralized database on our local server at head office which pulls the data at the end of each day. Field workers would also need access to certain data such as addresses, contact info, maps, photos, historical data, etc. but not all of it. For example the worker in City A only needs access to the historical data from records in and around City A, and workers in City B only need access to records involving City B.

Is there any recommended options for software which can achieve this? It needs to be relatively user friendly and simple as our workers are typically biology oriented summer students, not programmers.

Just trying to check "unread messages" despite no notifications indicating there are some, just to refresh the inbox and make sure there's nothing in limbo before notifications appear (not sure how the technicalities work).

If there are no new messages the app crashes. Can make it crash multiple times in a row. Works fine if there is a notification and unread messages present.

Hi, me and my cousins had a good thing going for a long time playing Catan but we are looking to shake things up. We have played Catan regularly for over s year, but find that it's getting a little stale. We are looking for a game that requires a lot of strategy, planning, teamwork but also betrayal and backstabbing, yet also not take half an hour to set up and dismantle.

In Catan we love that the board changes every game and therefore the strategy, but found that once we got to the castles and knights expansion there was one strategy that beat out all the rest which sort of deflated the fun (first person to get science bonus seemed to win 90% of the time).

Any other board games out there for beginners that don't take forever to set up and put away? Not huge into role playing, but never say never I guess.
