@Demonitizr Grab a PCB out of something you don't care about, get a decent (not extravagant) soldering iron, LEADED solder, good flux, and start practicing. It's not hard. Try not to breathe the fumes.

This $2 part and some solder is keeping my $1200 water heater from working.
They want $400 for the circut board, which I will likely end up buying after I screw this one up 😬😂
It is worth a shot, right?
Any soldering tips?

A few years ago I rode the KTX highspeed train from Seoul, South Korea to Daegu and Buson. It was amazing. Don’t believe the liars trying to discredit high speed rail. Other countries are decades ahead of North America.

@MarkJCarney @DavidMcGuinty China is the biggest broad threat to Canada's institutions, sovereignty, information space, and political independence. But, Carney is stripping down and climbing into bed with Xi Jinping. Defense spending means nothing when you let the enemy in through the front door.
English
This is the biggest Canadian defence investment in Newfoundland and Labrador's history, and a critical part of our ambitious new plan to defend, build, and transform the North.

@enorconhcet @Cliffor18175753 It's a pretty standard political term to distinguish a system of government. It's not an insult. So, yes...you could call Harper's government a "regime". But I wouldn't go so far as to say it brought down your socialist programs. We've always had a mixed economy.
English
@loadedlen @Cliffor18175753 Calling them 'regimes' is a determinedly prejudicial approach. I could equally say Stephen Harper's Canadian Conservative government was a Conservative 'regime' which brought down our socialist programmes.
English
Meanwhile, in the Conservative heartland of Alberta, the government wants to control what library books you should be allowed to see or read.

Pierre Poilievre: "[Socialists] say that human beings are wretched, self-interested, greedy when they're in the private voluntary economy, but they're angels when they're in the governmental economy. And therefore they argue that the government should just control everything."
English
@enorconhcet @Cliffor18175753 Listing countries that either aren’t socialist, abandoned socialism to survive, or collapsed under it isn’t the argument you think it is. Merely still existing isn’t success, and blaming everything on the US doesn’t explain Venezuela at all.
English
@loadedlen @Cliffor18175753 Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Laos, Venezuela, still in spite of US takeover. Many lasted decades, but were, like many capitalist countries over the 20thc to now, invaded or overthrown. It's not fair to call it socialist 'collapse' when you're invaded.

@MrJoKeR604 Liberals killed pipelines, stalled LNG, and buried resource projects that actually pay for infrastructure. Oh, but now they’ve discovered unity over a rail line that’ll blow past budget and serve a fraction of Canadians.
Spare me.

@Bethany385318 I can see how a breast cancer survivor, having gone through a mastectomy, might want to restore what was lost. I'm not a fan of enlargement just for the sake of it. And never do it for anyone other than you.
English
@CanadianCoffey @AndrewScheer Half the Liberal bench followed the exact same pipeline, where's your outrage there? Sean Fraser? Karina Gould? Arielle Kayabaga? Anna Gainey?
English
Conservatives keep voting for this guy despite the fact that he stole from them.
Another lifelong politician @AndrewScheer
We need term limits 🇨🇦.
Coffey4Canada2@Coffey4Canada2
More gaslighting from the guy who used conservative donations to by a minivan and pay for private school for his kids. This is while he was the opposition leader and we were already paying for his housing, his chef, his groundskeeper and his driver. Another lifelong politician.

@Sahar393815 Cows don’t produce milk on their own, they need to be pregnant first. No bull, no milk.
Drones fertilize the queen bee. No drone, no hive (no honey).
Want to get into women "producing" babies?

@Jenniferl554563 Case in point: Liberal cabinet messaging vs voting record. Plenty of examples there.
English
@loadedlen In politics what you say is one thing. What you vote for is another.
English
Pierre voted against gay marriage. Dog whistles to his base (old stock Canadians) about immigrants and votes against anything that would benefit the working class.
Pierre’s “personal story” as heard on a podcast does nothing to change his 22 year documented voting record.

Hey Canadians 🇨🇦 One thing that keeps coming up after Pierre Poilievre’s Diary of a CEO interview is his personal story — adopted as a baby, raised by school teachers in a humble middle-class home, his father later came out as gay, and he married Anaida, who came to Canada as a refugee from Venezuela. Yet a lot of people seem to really dislike him… while praising Justin Trudeau (raised with every advantage as the son of a former Prime Minister) and Mark Carney (the wealthy former banker). How did so many in Canada end up feeling that way? What do you think drives that difference in how people see them? Drop your honest thoughts below 👇 I’m reading every comment. #Poilievre #CanadaFirst
English
@VoyceReason We could have had Northern Gateway and Energy East, Teck Frontier, multiuse corridors across Canada including the North, many LNG terminals... except those were all stalled or killed by Liberals.
Oops.
English
🇨🇦 Conservative commentators are correct about the high speed rail project costs. It definitely SHOULD have been built 15 years ago, when it would have been MUCH cheaper.
The problem is, it wasn't built. Because Stephen Harper was in the middle of a 9 year stint as 🇨🇦 PM.
Oops.

@timhodgsonmt @ClaudeGuay Sure, Canada's hydro advantage is real. But then there's China... Making 60% of the world's aluminum using... you guessed it, COAL! The solution isn't hard. Expand aluminum production and export capacity, and ship LNG to countries still running coal. Dozens of LNG ports, not one.
English
Canada's aluminum story spans centuries.
In the 20th century, our aluminum sector was the beating heart of Allied supply in both World Wars.
Today, the sector is the foundation of cleaner global manufacturing supply chains — because when you combine our world-class hydropower with our aluminum production, you get something no one else can offer: the world's lowest-carbon aluminum at commercial scale.
English
@WorkElizab Kind gestures can be misinterpreted as minimizing someone's independence. And then cancellation happens. Sad, but true. Men feel the rules aren't as clear anymore. How can we mix modern independence with old school connections? We default to safe, low risk behavior...that's how.

@THudson59618056 @NicolesFX @RickPerkinsCPC @PierrePoilievre Listen, if you think support for parents of autistic children is lacking, the accountability lane is pretty obvious. It goes directly to the Liberal front bench. Stop defending the people who pull the strings and let you down, and start giving conservatives a fair shake.
English
@NicolesFX @loadedlen @RickPerkinsCPC @PierrePoilievre He's been in there for 20 years, his daughter is 6 or 7 years old and I haven't seen any bills pertaining to autism from him
English
The biggest irritant is when he says just go out, get a speech therapist, we have a nest egg for her. Us parents of autistic kids don't have that privilege you do. Ironically yours came from taxpayers, us taxpayers have a MUCH harder time gaining resources @PierrePoilievre
English
@alleria_eh Is it ok to force someone who has capacity into a home? Is his daughter or the court his legal guardian?
English
MAID cannot be forced on somebody.
This guy is lying about the situation and even admits they are not trying to force MAID on him, down in the comments.
DonaldBest.CA * DO NOT COMPLY@DonaldBestCA
Take a 102-year-old man from his home in Canada and you risk never seeing him alive again. That’s the MAID reality families fear. @OPP_News show up in Tillsonburg with a court order. Son: “Not opening the door. Break it if you have a warrant. It’s under appeal.” The father is clear: he’ll die where he chooses. He sounds clear and rational to me. The dispute? Sister wants the farm. Father wants to stay. She alleges dementia, son says he is clear and rational. Police are caught in the middle. But enforcing a Thursday night order on Good Friday with no time for legal response is dirty pool. In the end the officers leave because they are not going to kick down the door and the son knows it. The son also says he doesn't trust the police or the courts. These days, I don't blame him at all.

@KathrynMathias1 @MarkJCarney @sarobertsonca Frederiksen said Danes were talking about Mark Carney’s Davos speech. I'm willing to bet most Danes didn’t even notice. I wonder what they were paying attention to, though...since her party took such a massive beating in the election.
English
Compare and contrast Poilievre's nonsensical (IMHO) comment about @MarkJCarney's Davos speech, with what the PM of Denmark says about it (I'll link the post by @sarobertsonca in 2/)
English
Liberals built a national energy company so Cdns could benefit from Cdn resources.
Conservatives sold it off.
Petro-Can is now part of Suncor, a private company. The public stake is gone.
And this is the pattern:
Build it,sell it, lose control and says it’s the Libs fault.
