Why Time Sometimes Speeds Up in Northwest BC in c/britishcolumbia@lemmy.ca
[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

Clocks will gradually, almost imperceptibly, speed up. They gain about 12 seconds every hour — edging forward in a manner that may go unnoticed over a day but can add up over time, leaving locals scratching their heads or rushing to their next appointment. After just two days, affected clocks will be 9 1/2 minutes ahead of the actual time.

This happens when BC Hydro switches to an alternate power source during maintenance or unexpected service interruptions caused by things like electrical storms or trees felled by beavers.

Immigrant Adoptees Who Never Became Citizens Fear Possible Deportation in c/boycottus@lemmy.ca
[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

I mean even people born in the US to immigrant parents, or even just one immigrant parent, are likely at risk of having their citizenship stripped. Dark times.

Got my fingers crossed for your sister.

Also even if he does succeed, he’ll probably never outlive the “Smöl Parachute ~PP~” nickname for the rest of his career.

I'm a stone mason, and I'm half way convinced that a fair portion of the posts here are at MOST five people. AMA? (lemmy.ca)
 

The title.

Feel free to ask me stuff. I'm in Scotland, born in Canada. I've been a mason for coming on 15 years. And my favourite dinosaur is....not really a dinosaur.....the Stenopterygius species. because they're tubby not quite dolphin looking (apparently) reptiles.

Wracking my brain. Alcoholic teen main character with imaginary bird friend always telling him to smoke drink and light stuff on fire. All I can remember from the theme is "he's really fucked up and we don't know why"

Richmond East-Steveston(BC) riding question. (lemmy.ca)
 

Anyone tied in with the BC NDP? I'm an export(I hate the term expat, doesn't apply to me, always be a Canadian regardless of where I live) currently in the UK. Elections.ca says the candidate registration deadline is the 7th, and details to be released 9th. But I'm a bit antsy to see who's running for my registered riding. It'd be nice to have a chance to look into who I'm going to be voting for. My main concern is that sometimes mail can take quite a while to get through to home from here, and I want to be able to send my ballot as early as possible so I'm positive that it will get to Ottawa before 6pm of the 28th.
As we all know this election has a lot potentially hanging on the outcome, and I want my say counted.

Thanks for any info or thoughts. ✊

See User profile picture in comments (lemmy.ca)
 

I looked through the posts here, and the various threads on the git. Saw that the feature was implemented, but doesn't appear in my settings?

Just wondering if it was axed, never actually got rolled into main, or was rolled back due to stuff?

I recently came into a 2nd hand 3dSystems Cube3...with no power lead (lemmy.ca)
 

Just hoping someone here can give me info on the pin out of the power lead so I can buy a replacement. I contacted 3dSystems, and they sent me the EoL package along with the code to unlock the printer. The EoL package has not been helpful for the power supply issue, and weeks of combing the web and forums has come up with nothing. So I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

Thanks for any help you lovely folk can come up with!

I've messed myself up cheating in Trails in the Sky: FC Evolution (lemmy.ca)
 

I don't have a pre-cheat save, and I'm stuck in Ruan because I have turned in one of a stack of key items, but since I still have a load of them I can't progress. Also can't hand the item back more than once. Looking like I'll have to either find a save that's around the same area as I am, or start from scratch......

If anyone has any idea how to delete items from your inventory.....for the love of f**k please clue me in....
