Thats one of many times each year the card processing system (in full or in part) has gone down.
Though usually it doesn’t stay down as long as that one.

The main thing that concerns me about a fully cashless society is that the means of buying and selling stuff shifts fully into the hands of the for profit, private company payment processors.
If cash is no longer an option, then ever increasing payment fees can become a growing profit center for those banks, credit card companies and payment processors as they gouge the public worse than they already are.
He was worried that a non-American team might actually win the cup.
I would love to see his discomfort if 2 Canadian teams were playing in the final series.
We actually do need 0% emissions and 100% renewables.
Yes. The sooner the better.
But on the way there we have to take the wins we can get and not let perfect be the enemy of good.
There are some limited use cases where they can make sense.
Commuting or grocery shopping aren’t among those, though.
So you blame Israel for existing
The process that brought the state of Israel into existence caused a lot of animosity among the population who were previously there.
Add to that decades of Israel displacing more people by annexing land for their “settlements” and its not hard to imagine why there would be resentment and anger against the Israeli government.
Are you arguing that Israel should kill children?
That’s not how I read it.
My interpretation is that Israel shouldn’t be creating more orphans who will have a lifelong desire for vengeance.
Well when you outsource all your skilled jobs to other countries for a few decades, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they will move ahead of your country in the skills needed to compete against you.
That quest for extreme short term profits at the expense of your own long term sustainability/survivability has come back to bite you in the ass. Congratulations corporate America, you’ve played yourself.
No more delays.
Also: you went too fast and cut corners with ArriveCan making it a steaming pile of uselessness.
will soon wash away with the rain…"
Just like any attention they may have grabbed due to their stunt.
what’s the alternative scenario here?
Parents could not upload pictures of their kids everywhere in a vain attempt to attract attention to themselves?
That would be good.
If they do, that means they don’t take design seriously
The diploma mill MBAs that run the place don’t know (or care) what good design is.
They only know how to look at business costs as “cutting into our profit”.
Ride-hailing company Uber is slamming the British Columbia government’s decision to impose minimum wages and basic labour protections for gig workers,
Uber can get fucked.
If you can’t figure out how to pay your workers properly, and follow the law on “basic labour protections”, you don’t deserve to be in business.
Though now I realize you actually have to get referred by one of the other members in order to start posting
That is done with the intention of keeping the quality of content high.
I doubt they want to get flooded with low effort “let’s play” gamers or even lower effort AI voiceover stock footage crap.
Of course, but you can’t fight everyone.
Choosing your battles and focusing your efforts wisely can generally accomplish more.
The resellers still use (and pay fees to) those incumbent networks who own the physical infrastructure.
And they’re reliant on those networks thwy are competing with to respond to outages in a timely manner.
You’re fooling yourself is you think you are significantly hurting “the big guys” by going with a reseller.
The only reason to go with a reseller is if they offer better plans.
they hate the boneheaded ideas thought up in Parliament
Such as this bonehead “national service” idea that a few conservative parliamentarians are suggesting?
This idea isn’t one coming from the NDP or Liberals.
From your first link:
Across the country, small business owners who attended the pro-Trump event are facing backlash
That gives me some small measure of hope for the future.
There still are repercussions, all that has changed is that personal criminal prosecution is no longer among those.
