As someone who doesn't know shit: when you say clutch, you mean set the power screwdriver to stop turning when it hits moderate resistance, right?

I ask because I think I understand, but I might not.

    ‘A lot’ in federal budget aligns with city priorities, Ottawa mayor says in c/ottawa@lemmy.ca
    [–] 3 points 3 days ago (1 child)

    As much as I shit on Carney, I'm glad the Liberals included:

    The budget includes $11.2 billion to tackle homelessness over four years, starting next year, and $17.8 billion over 10 years. The money will help build new supportive and transitional housing across the country and commits to expanding non-market housing and building 200,000 new homes across Canada in the next decade.

    Of course, the devil is in the details. Here's hoping they get it right.

    Why are so many trades apprentices struggling to complete their programs? (archive.is)
     

    The federal government estimates Canada will need 1.4 million new trades workers by 2033 to replace retiring workers and meet project demand.

    ...

    Apprenticeship enrolments hit a record high of more than 101,500 in 2024, according to Statistics Canada, but completions of these programs have remained below prepandemic levels. Almost 47,000 apprentices received certification that year, or a rate of 19.9 per cent. In comparison, a decade prior, 93,500 Canadians enrolled in a skilled trade and 59,400 received their certifications.

    How long until that "new oven smell" stops? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I just got a new electric oven and range. It's a slide-in. The oven makes a nasty chemical smell when I run it. The instructions say that's normal and it should take around thirty minutes if running for it to stop.

    I've run it for around eight or nine hours and it's still making a stink.

    Those of you who have gotten new electric ovens: how long until it stopped producing an odour?
