I’ve only given it a relatively cursory look in the past, but it seems like Canada doesn’t give a quick pathway to citizenship via marriage. I think you can get a residency status somewhat quickly and easily, but it seemed like you’d need to live in Canada for a decade before you could apply for citizenship, whereas for my wife we could apply for US citizenship after 3 years or after she’d had her green card for 3 years, I can’t remember which exactly.

If you have the money, a lawyer can make the process a lot easier for the US, so I’d guess the same might be true for Canada.

Also, double-check how Canada views things, but if there’s any chance you might want to get your spouse a green card in the future, the US government strongly prefers that you get married in the United States. They seem very suspicious that marriages conducted in another country might not be real and that it’s just a scam to try to get a green card. The longer you’re married the less of an issue it is, but if you decide to get a green card in the first few years it could be a problem. If Canada is not as strict about that then you may want to have the legal wedding ceremony in the United States, even if you’ll be living in Canada.

And overall, I feel like it’s most valuable to try to get both parties some sort of citizenship or permanent resident status in both countries. You never know when a family medical emergency might lead to you moving to another country, and that’s not when you want to try to establish residency permission. Canada seems to require you to actually live there for more than half the year to apply for residency, so we haven’t done that for me, but since you will be living there you should be able to. I think you can also apply for a green card without immediate plans to live in the US (but double check that) so you may want to start that process sooner than later.

I haven’t made one in years. When I made my account it was back when you needed an invitation.

I wonder how much the new choice of CEO was up to the founder versus the venture capital investors. I’m assuming the investors had the main input.

• Google is reportedly testing a 5GB storage limit for new Gmail accounts, down from the standard 15GB.
• Users can “unlock” the full 15GB of free storage by adding a phone number to their account.

Seems they’re trying to get phone numbers this way. Maybe it’s for increased user data, maybe it’s to prevent fraudulent activity, maybe it’s to have more information to give authorities.

Hildebrandt was sentenced to three years in jail for attempted murder, 10 years for attempting to destroy the aircraft and two years for the explosives charge. He successfully appealed the sentence in the Queensland Criminal Court as he argued that the aircraft which was 35 minutes into the flight, was over New South Wales (NSW) when he armed the explosives in the aircraft toilet. He served a three-year sentence in Brisbane, for attempted murder and on discharge was arrested by detectives from NSW. He faced court again and was convicted on the charge of attempted destruction of an aircraft and sentenced to seven years imprisonment in NSW.

So these were basically all state-level charges, it didn’t trigger a higher national-level charge?

As in you think they were pressured into stopping development so people would switch over to BitLocker, which now appears to have a backdoor put in by Microsoft or at least one of the developers, presumably at the behest of a government?

Even in the US with private health insurance, those providers will pay for screenings that can save costs by catching something early. Sometimes that might be legally mandated, other times it’s based on cost/benefit. It all varies from plan to plan, but the more common a disease is the more likely they’ll pay for at least a low-cost initial screening.

You might need to improve the waterproofing along the wall. Really the best way to be confident in a fix is bringing in a qualified engineer to find the source and recommend a solution, but that’s also the most expensive solution.

Ultimate let you change languages, but cost more than Pro

Twisters (the recent sequel starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos) has a new team trying to set up 3 phased array radars 120° from each other to catch an unprecedented surround view of a tornado. It was better than I expected.

The fact that Aeris-10 offers a true phased array system and ±45° elevation/azimuth adjustments are seemingly its differentiating factors. Prices for electronics are exceedingly floaty in these ship-shinking days, but a brief estimate pins the bill of materials at $5,000 for the 10N and $7,200 for the 10E.

So for $21,600 I could attempt the goal of the main characters in Twisters.

I was assuming the walls would be removed, or not really be a shipping container but a steel frame that fit the dimensions and has the right connectors.

Not having read the article, I wonder if building an elevated array of photovoltaic panels over the batteries would make sense by shading them from the sun, giving more passive help with heat? A simple roof would be cheaper but solar panels would mean the site is also producing electricity, not just storing it.

A couple months ago a story came out of a court case that they would happily keep running ads that were identified as scams; they would just increase the advertising costs for the accounts running those ads. The more reports, the higher the price until they reach a limit to ban them. Basically if their users are getting scammed, they want a bigger cut.

It’s interesting considering how the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety really highlights what is more important for them to reduce in a collision. Modern cars might sustain much more damage and be more likely to get written off as a total loss, but that will probably cost them $30-40k at the high end in most wrecks. But if a person gets seriously injured the insurance company could very quickly be on the hook for the full $100-300k in medical bills most people get coverage for.

Featured comment on the first video pretty directly answers the question from @OP @Patnou@lemmy.world :

As a Firefighter I was called to an accident which turned out to be a head on collision between 60’s model Chrysler and a 2000 model Subaru. The Chrysler looked to have held up pretty good but the driver was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. The Subaru was totalled back to the windscreen yet the mother and daughter in the car walked away without a scratch.

These were the developer accounts to sign their software to run on Windows

Theft of her revenue. I don’t know that she could get it to a criminal level but civil probably.

EDIT: and not suing Google but Vidya and Timeless Sounds IR

This feels like the kind of slam dunk legal case some law firm would be happy to take on contingency. People will keep doing this if there are no consequences.

I think we got one of those later. The first one they got was a monster of 1980s technology. It looks more like a news camera than anything for consumer use (although maybe not to actual news people).
