Mass Shootings - Canada VS USA

Image
Canada 70 mass shootings in 25 years USA 2025 (8 months in) 268 268x25=4700 (very low estimate) Population in million Canada 39 USA 333 USA has about 8.5 times the people 70x8.5=596 shootings in 25 years scaling up for population. The approximate estimate is a factor of 7.9 times the shootings per equivalent population in the USA. Remember, this is based on a low estimate. A mass shooting in both countries is counted as 4 or more victims. It's interesting that government statistics show extremely few mass shootings in the USA, but independent sources show vastly more.  So is gun control actually working in Canada, or is our culture just way less violent minded? I don't have enough data on that point to tell. I just know that over 90% of illegal guns in Canada are smuggled from the USA. I guess we need to tell the Americans to stop fucking around and police their boarders better. Oh wait, that's our job, just like it's their job to police drugs flowing into their country...

Knock It Off Samsung! I Don't Want This Shit

Image
This is the new annoyance feature with Samsung phones. See, I port my phone to the PC a couple of times a day to toss video and photos to the PC. But now there is this noise. I have to pull down the notification bad, then click a notification to get this crap - then I have to select transfer images, then give it my fingerprint to prove it's me. Well, I unlocked the fucking phone 30 seconds ago, so it should be me. I honestly think developers stay up at night thinking of how to make it way less convenient to use the bloody UI. This is ridiculous. Don't give me "safety feature" either - how about let me do what I've been doing for many years and just port it and open it like a drive when the phone is unlocked. Sigh. Seriously thinking of getting a Pixel next time. Samsung has been going out of it's way to loose customers the last year it seems. First came bloody UI 7 and it totally fucked the phones up, now this shit. Every update I wonder what will be fucked up...
