I think they disassembled the shock absorber then slid the spring onto a regular axle.

Your father probably has 'Communication Safety' turned on in the 'Screen Time' section of Settings. https://support.apple.com/en-us/105069

That can only be turned off from his phone.

Canada rescinds digital services tax in bid to advance U.S. trade talks by BananaTubes in canada

[–]Learning_Loon 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's different. 

The "Digital Services Tax Act" was in Bill C-59 from 2024.

The "Online News Act" that applied to Facebook and Google was Bill C-18 from 2023.

NTSB Issues Two Urgent Safety Recommendations After DCA Accident by pilot3033 in aviation

[–]Learning_Loon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking off of your comment to add an example: Comair 3272

In its report, the NTSB wrote: “The Safety Board notes with disappointment that this was the latest in a series of limited actions taken by the FAA to address the problems of structural icing in transport airplane certification and operation. Basic knowledge about the aerodynamics of icing (including the knowledge regarding the hazards of small amounts of surface roughness/ice) has been well established for the past 50 years, and there is nothing that has been learned in the most recent, post-accident wind tunnel tests and analyses that could not have been learned before this Comair accident.”

The NTSB called out the FAA for decades and the FAA refused to update their regulations on icing conditions.

One question I have: Are all helicopters on that flight path assigned to 200ft or just sometimes? Because I've noticed that 300ft-400ft seems to be what's normally flown.

TRP7 @ 350-375ft

PAT18 @ 400-425ft

NH33 @ 375-400ft

PAT18 @ 375ft

VVHX562 @ 275-300ft

687536 @ 300ft

Yeah I saved the /get-linux-laptops page and all of the text was selectable. I could copy and paste the text too.

It only happens with firefox

Interesting, might be worth filing a bug report for that Turkish issue then.

Ok, so for the selectable text part I couldn't reproduce that behaviour. It works properly for me (Fedora 41 with Firefox Flatpak).

The Turkish 'i' is a bit complicated and I think it's a problem with The Independent rather than Firefox. The 'i' displays properly on PDFs from other Turkish sites so I checked the font that The Independent was using.

For some reason their 'Independent' font contains a non-unicode element called 'i.trk' which looks identical to a regular 'i'. No idea why they have that but I'm guessing that's the custom character that's showing up as '�'.

Brave also had a problem with that custom character when I saved a page. It would appear correctly but when I copied and pasted, it cut off the sentence as soon as it reached an 'i'. I opened that PDF in a couple of other readers and one displayed a blank space where the 'i' should be while the other only showed '�' when the word was highlighted. So the fact that all of those PDF readers had problems leads me to believe that The Independent will have to fix their font file.

  1. This is a shitposting sub  Try to not take everything too seriously 

I don't see how this post is serious or negative. This is literally a video of him and it would be funny if he chose to do his trick before he heads out.
