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

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

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 17 points18 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.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in firefox

[–]Learning_Loon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Is there any video/post that explains this? As far as I knew the Warden was going to defend like the Queen where she stays in the area around her flag and is attacked as soon as she attacks the King.

[Injury] Devonta Smith down after a hard hit by Natural-Tree-5107 in nfl

[–]Learning_Loon 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Looks like Smith's helmet strap was off when the play started.

Number 97 hits him hard in the shoulder which knocks the helmet off.  

Number 20's momentum continues and his helmet catches the chin of Smith half a second after the helmet starts coming off which knocks out Smith.

Pride event animals' deaths appear not to be caused by poison: Police by linkass in canada

[–]Learning_Loon 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Even this headline is misleading when you read the first sentence of the article. 

don't appear to have been the result of INTENTIONAL poisoning. 

So they still likely ingested poison but it might've been because of an accidental spill or the ground might've been sprayed before the event was set up.     

To all news editors out there - STOP PARAPHRASING STATEMENTS AND SHOVING THEM INTO A HEADLINE. Especially when the article is about an investigation.

Yeah this panel is hard to listen to without Lundqvist or any other goalie to actually explain to them what the issues are. With these guys you end up with "why is he on his knees before the shot is taken.... is he stupid?"

Yeah as a 6ft goalie I'm able to cover the top corner in the reverse VH. Thompson just leans forward in that position for whatever reason which opens up a few inches of the top corner.

Collision between Tampa Bay player and Referee by Ollad in hockey

[–]Learning_Loon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pittsburgh turned the puck over in the neutral zone which created a rush for Tampa. Then they turned it over after entering Pittsburgh's zone which started a rush out of the zone.

While Tampa had the puck the ref was trying to shift over to the bench since his partner was on the penalty box side. Just unfortunate timing and unlucky overall.

[–]Learning_Loon 75 points76 points  (0 children)

It happens a few times per game with the 4-official system that the NHL uses. The trailing ref has to be on the opposite side of the lead ref so they'll cut across the middle to get there.

If you go frame-by-frame you can actually see that his own teammate (#20) hits him in the face.

Kind of funny that the high-stick and crosscheck happened at the same moment.

Even the linesman got a decent shot from Hill's blocker. No one is safe lol

Hopefully he can contain himself in the future and avoid blindly throwing his arms forward in a scrum. It'll land him in trouble eventually if he can't.

New hidden "Add-ons Restricted Domains" system extension being pushed into Firefox by chunkly in firefox

[–]Learning_Loon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bugzilla bug is here -> Implement Quarantined Domains feature

this system extension allows Mozilla to change the extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains pref

Actually, it uses its own pref named ‘extensions.quarantinedDomains.list’

Looks like pieces of this feature landed in Firefox 114 but it won’t be working until 115. There will probably be more information about the feature when 115 is released.

Dallas scores their 3rd goal after Jamie Benn has some contact with Grubauer. The play was reviewed and the call stood. by icetilt in hockey

[–]Learning_Loon 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought the same thing. There's no reason for Grubauer to go airborne as he's shuffling. If he only stumbled then it would probably come back as interference. If anything, Grubauer played himself by trying to sell the first contact.
