@ThomasWatsonCD There is no Woodpecker. A five was a Kingfisher.

I miss when a loon could buy a tank of gas and a woodpecker could get McDicks for the kids!

@gruntdoc I am surprised a Canadian Airline has not tried to buy that B373-200 and make it airworthy again for flights North of 60. (Canada North, Norlandair, First Air).

@beauti_animals That is AI rendering of what Ottawa could look like, but it is not this city I live in and currently working about 1000m from the supposed spot.
Parliament Hill dose not look like that at that angle.
AI GARBAGE.

@RepJackKimble Gee Congressman, you do realize America's constitution has as much power beyond the borders of the USA as toilet paper, right?

@manofbird @CanadiensMTL Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

I would love to know who came up with the idea for this pre-game tradition, because they couldn’t have tapped into the @CanadiensMTL championship legacy any better. It’s perfect. That’s my expert hockey analysis. #GoHabsGo

@jackprandelli @TrentTelenko And now Israel will bomb this rail line.
Ottawa, Ontario 🇨🇦 English

Iran is rerouting its economy through Central Asia.
China's rail network is becoming its economic lifeline
Since the US naval blockade began on April 13th, cargo train frequency on the Xi'an–Tehran route has jumped from roughly 1 per week to 1 every 3 days.
The price of that lifeline is rising fast.
Freight quotes for a standard 40 foot container on the route have hit $7,000 this week roughly 40% above typical levels.
Demand is outrunning capacity,every train is full.
The Xi'an–Tehran rail corridor can handle a fraction of the volume that normally moves by sea.
Iran's port trade now blockaded operated at a scale rail simply cannot replace.
This is a pressure valve, not a solution.
But it's part of a larger architecture Tehran has been quietly building for years.
The rail ramp-up sits alongside the Iran–Russia–India corridor, expanded trucking through Iraq and Turkey, and deepening logistics ties with China all designed to reduce vulnerability to exactly the kind of pressure being applied now.

@DirtyLeg79 Well you do live in Alberta, so isn't that the local IQ level of those that are melting.

@HLC_actual @ArmaliteN @CWLemoine DU is not used in the CIWS anymore, just Tungsten. I think it is the same for the AC version of that Gun.

Let’s get your opinion on this: would you push back like she did?
Here’s the situation. Her boss sent her home for taking her 30-min unpaid lunch that was literally in her contract/hiring notes.
While no federal law requires lunch breaks, some states require employers to provide one (30 min unpaid, fully off-duty) for 6+ hr shifts. You can’t just force ‘eat at your desk while working’—that doesn’t count.
Now, if her contract is indeed legally binding, the boss can’t magically delete it.
What are your thoughts on this?
