A net launcher wouldn't be considered a firearm under Canadian law, so it wouldn't be illegal under firearms rules.

That could easily be grounds for prosecution in Canada for negligent discharge of a firearm. You'd be lucky if the court didn't take your firearms license away for life.

Given that last paragraph, you have to report back with some of the results you get :).

Duolingo is really only useful at the A1/A2 levels anyway. Once you reach B1, you're pretty much past the point where the vocab and grammar basics from Duolingo is useful and you need to move on to other activities (watching TV in

I like Matrix but unfortunately it has major stability issues. The GrapheneOS project moved most of their chat over to Discord after their Matrix community got nuked twice. They still maintain a Matrix community which is bridged to their Di

They pretty much all do by design, it prevents vapours from building up at the top of the tank which is a fire/explosion hazard. It works even better with high resolution synthetic aperture radar as you can measure the tank height disp

Interesting, surprised they are using optical data for this instead of synthetic aperture radar. SAR (and in particular interferometric SAR, although that requires short repeat cycle) shines in this area, and a lot of the data is free. ESA

You'll probably catch a lot of flak for that on HN, but I 100% agree with you. Just because something is public and can be saved for later doesn't mean it should be done so en-masse. These are social spaces where a lot of young pe

Yep, blood donation infrastructure isn't like an oil pipeline or a refinery. Sure, it'll be painful for a little while, but it doesn't take nearly as long to set up, especially if there's an urgent shortage motivating a

For Canadians trying to avoid US registrars - grape.ca. They've been in business since '99, I think they were one of the first CIRA accredited registrars for .ca domains.

Not a technical question, just want to say I really appreciate your projects! I work with a group of radar engineers and they were absolutely floored by your €800 C-band polarimetric SAR drone. Any tips for working on hobby RF/microwav

Good to hear about the Eaton receptacles - next time I need to replace a few around the house I'll give those a shot.

Industrial CT would probably be pretty effective at giving a density distribution and identifying voids, but that may be overkill - a couple planes of X-ray imaging may be sufficient. Ultrasound would also be a solid bet, but it depends how

I'd also be curious about the detection range, even on a sunny day. Stealth doesn't mean the aircraft is invisible to radar, it just means it has a very low radar cross section, so you can't detect it from very far away. Fly

As a North American, I'm very jealous of the BS1363. I know some people don't like the mandatory ground pin, but it actually serves a really handy purpose. Because the shutter is engaged by the slightly longer ground pin, the shut

Yep, all the US pundits talking about Canada voting mostly Democratic with a few Republican districts have it completely wrong. Canada would vote overwhelmingly for the Bloc Canadien .

So let me get this straight. As per your link, the weighted tariff rate is 0.98% in 2015. That is tiny. The average tariff rate with the European Union is about five times that. And again, this is before the updated USMCA deal that the US

by Sanzig 2y ago
What tariffs do you want dropped? Please be specific. The vast majority of US and Canadian trade has been tariff-free since the 1980s when the US-Canada Free Trade Agreement was signed. USMCA is also up for renegotiation in 2026, so if the

Canadians are under no illusions that we will ever be a US state. If we ever were to be annexed, we would almost certainly be a territory without voting rights like Puerto Rico.

I obviously can't speak for all of my countrymen, but I can say that people are really, really pissed about the annexation threats. We're upset about the tariffs, but we're absolutely incendiary about the threats to our sover

In terms of software-defined radio learning resources, I can wholly recommend PySDR: https://pysdr.org/ It's written by one of the GNURadio developers, but it uses NumPy and SciPy instead so you really get a feel for t
