A very happy Canada day to you and all of my fellow Canadians.
Bring back Conrail!
I'm sure the US Supreme Court will have good answers to this as they've indicated they know better than federal agencies.
Would it be illegal for Biden to invalidate every ruling this Court has made, including the Presidential immunity one? Or would that lead to a paradox?
Might be useful info on AI but I take issue with the Redditor OP's title.
Uh. Wow. So now Trump got things both ways...
"He didn't get away with anything yet. Yet. We have a criminal justice system in this country, we have civil litigation and former presidents are not immune from being [held] accountable by either one," - Senator McConnell, 13 Feb 2021.
Guess what, McConnell, the US doesn't have a functional criminal justice system federally, and that is very much thanks to you and your corrupt Supreme Court picks, appointing delays and antics.

I found a post with context on oldfeddit's main, it's someone writing in German saying the site [note: specifically the frontend] is down and the admin is MIA. Feddit.org is ran by a Viennese non-profit.
Good morning and happy Canada Day. Thanks for working tirelessly to get things running.
Seems like the API, apps and other frontends were working but the main web frontend wasn't? I wonder if it is anything similar to what happened to the unfortunate feddit.de
Was ist passiert!?!? Ist es Pizzatag auf !ich_iel@feddit.org?

My free advice for Lemmings:
Alcohol and water mix well at home, in the park and at the bar, alternating helps with hangovers.
They do not mix well outside. Do not go swimming or boating while drunk. It will be much harder to stop people from doing stupid shit that you and your drunk friends might think of doing on land.
I'm sure this crowd would remember earlier relics than the average age person on Reddit now. I could say which Nintendo console was my generation but that would give too much away.
The Robelus cartel is one of the things to be shameful of as a Canadian (though the US isn't much better).
In Canada we got a solid reminder of the importance of cash when the Rogers outage took Interac and many credit card processing systems offline...
Sorry, we're busy here collectin' samples.

A thread with more engagement here than on the Reddit page it was mirrored from (as of currently there are no comments). We did it Lemmy!
I carry cash and I give it to people in need, I don't mind cashless payment being the default but at least some of the following things need to happen before we can fully move to that:
- Canada Post needs to open a savings account/credit card so that it is not profit motivated and accessible to disadvantaged people. Most poor people can't afford the annual fee for cards with decent benefits, and to get it waived you need to have significant deposits with your bank/credit union.
- We need a public option compared to Visa/MC/Amex, even if it's only usable domestically. Letting a handful of non-Canadian companies make a percentage of all Canadians' transactions is ridiculous and if there was no cash then they would look to jack up rates to whatever they wanted.
- We need regulations in how credit card companies can charge merchants and customers.
Hats off to the writer, a surprisingly well balanced report on events.
I had a nightmare one time when I was video calling my family from my phone who were on a plane that was falling out of the sky... since then I started checking flightradar once or twice whenever they go on flights.

Costs I estimate to be typical for 1 HDD, about 120USD which is about 170CAD
For 5 HDDs, I estimate about 485USD which is about 685CAD.
Ymmv, and these drives are if you just want bulk capacity at the lowest price over all else.
Major freight railroads will have to maintain two-person crews in most circumstances under a new federal rule.

> >“As trains — many carrying hazardous material — have grown longer, crews should not be getting smaller,” said Eddie Hall, the president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union. He praised the FRA for taking the step President Joe Biden promised. Hall said keeping two people in the cab of a locomotive is crucial now that railroads rely on longer trains that routinely stretch for miles.
