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.

That's exactly my point, it's not one piece of paperwork, it's an entire record keeping process that's screwed up.

Boeing has broken so many rules, what's another, at this point this incident is irrelevant.

The fact that one missed piece of paperwork is not what caused this, even if it is the trigger. The company focusing on minimizing paper trail and fudging paperwork to pass regulations is what caused it.

Yeah the Constitution don't say anything bout AI so according to the originalists, companies can do anything they want, lol.

Trump was already booked as Inmate P01135809 in the Georgia election subversion case.

The majority opinion notes that the Supreme Court should be the one that makes these technical judgements on behalf of these agencies, despite that opinion itself containing a technical mistake...

Here comes the Fourloko reboot saga.

Oh lord, this is the worst news to come from this week.

If sleeping anywhere for someone without a permanent place to live is allowed to be made illegal, we should have rotating shifts to keep the Court majority awake in their homes so that they will have to flee to Harlan Crow's yacht.

There's one way to fix this... elect a landslide blue majority in the HoR and Senate and redefine explicitly the role of every federal agency. That way Republicans in the future can't weaponize doing nothing as easily.

Klaus... Klaus? Klaus!!

You overestimate the risk of this specific event. I do think the DNC and all Americans need a wakeup call before November and this may or may not be it, but the debate is forgettable in 1 week whereas the consequences of these Supreme Court decisions or going to be with us for years to come.

Democrats have other opportunities to energize their base, it's up to them to use these opportunities, and avoid letting Trump dominate every election conversation.

Go to your local marina or their website and see if there are sailing classes.

Legislating? Not when Republicans have a hold on the house, or the Senate.

As part of the CUSMA trade agreement, I think us Canadians and Mexicans are allotted one sigh of disappointment...

Como parte del acuerdo comercial T-MEC, creo que a los canadienses y los mexicanos se nos permite un solo suspiro de decepción...

I dunno if I'd consider Secratary of Transportation as a low stakes role, he's been out and about getting IIJA funds out across the country and there to present new rail, highway, air and marine infrastructure improvements.

Plus, if an unspeakable fate were to befall thirteen specific individuals, simultaneously rendering them unable to perform their duties, you'd have a President Buttigieg.

Same thing in BC... In the Prince George encapment case, it was ruled that unless there are enough shelter beds that are sufficiently accessible by the affected population, they are allowed to stay in the Lower Patricia encampment.

Needless to say there was fierce competition. The pity I feel for Americans is to a level I feel physically sick.

From Barrett's dissent:

In so doing, the Court grants emergency relief in a fact-intensive and highly technical case without fully engaging with both the relevant law and the voluminous record.

Basically what the current US supreme court majority does to sway many cases in whatever way they feel like: ignore the way the court is supposed to work, ignore or diminish contrary evidence and push their own views.

Yeah, from a Canadian looking south, there's no two ways about it. Not Biden's best night, he brought a solid platform but the debate did not go in the way he wanted it to be.

Trump brought nothing of substance to the debate, lying his ass off as usual and pandering to his base. Also expressing Putin's dreams and stuff. Yet, Biden's presentation tonight could hardly beat a pet rock at a debate...

I'd fantasize about Bernie Sanders, AOC or anyone spry and progressive take the Democratic presidential candidate role for 2024, C$50 to charity if they do, but most are expected to know that even if Biden's not perfect it's his team that actually got things done unlike Trump whose entire presidency was about himself.

Edit 2: I'm hoping the poor performance is overshadowed by the real consequences of electing Trump beginning to show themselves with Friday morning's SCOTUS decisions.

I'd think that for a blanket no-homelessness policy to be even reasonably humane, each person would need a right of address, even a 50 sqft. parcel of public land in/by the town of choosing which they can call their domicile.

Someone reupload yuzu, stat!

The supreme court justices get "gratuities" from decisions conservative magnates want. They are just applying that corrupt standard to every American population.

Can't figure out through what warped interpretation that the ex-mayor's conduct doesn't meet the criteria of the statute, especially a1B. Help me out here:

18 US Code Sec 666

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won't take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Yes, internally and also with a beta-stage Nextcloud Social app, but the builds appear to be out of date and not working that well with the latest Nextcloud installations.

There are still commits being pushed to it in 2024, but a lot of the open issues are talking about errors that apparently were fixed but not provided in a release.

I have experienced an issue sort of like that in the past, where my computer occasionally won't do anything other than spin the fans, unless there's a working connection to a monitor...

Reminds of that post a month ago...

Apple's may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.

Why were your beans cold this morning? EU's DMA.

Why did you get delayed to your event? EU's DMA.

Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU's DMA, of course.

Ignoring the law is a more profitable strategy then following it. Unless this changes, then healthcare companies will continue screwing people over.

In Canada we still Domino's have coupons on the website and sometimes they are even mailed out.

And yeah, to get a decent deal you have to only order the pizza, pick it up yourself, get drinks and sides anywhere else if you want them. I'm a sucker for cinnamon sticks and icing that many chains offer.

Yeah, my local Domino's had a banger deal this past weekend too, was $15 after tax for a 1-topping large and cinnamon sticks. (~11 USD).

Where we failed is that $120k was supposed to be a middle-class income when living costs this much. The fact the median is 63k is a sign that all the excess value has been sucked out of the masses and funneled into the coffers of the billionaire class.

Biden's going to need everyone's help. Turn the Senate and the House super Blue. Even if you hate Biden because of Israeli support, vote for your Rep and Senator that can deal with this corruption. Add to the bench until the traitors Thomas and Alito become irrelevant. Revise the number of Senate and House seats.

Doesn't matter what the headlines or the opinion polls say. Vote like democracy depends on it!

Andrew Wilson had some bots, EA AI O.

That line right there is comedic journalism gold.

"Replacing Talent" is not what AI is meant for, yet, it seems to be every penny-pinching, bean counting studio's long term goal with it.

I suppose EU needs to charge a $1 trillion fine for this deliberate fuckery.

Israelis and people of Jewish faith are fine and nice people. Netanyahu's government is a monster with genocidal ideas. Some people go along with these terrible ideas.

Palestinians and people of Muslim faith are fine and nice people. Hamas leadership are monsters with genocidal ideas. Some people go along with these terrible ideas.
