It's not that. He was previous a Liberal and was kicked out of caucus while under investigation for Chinese government interference.

Did we? I know I'm being pedantic, but I thought we just sold them LAVs. The Saudis armed the vehicles themselves.

What does this have to do with FOSS?

A solution would be to have a STOP SIGN at the off-ramp to protect cyclists. It’s not ideal for motorists, but it’s a far safer option, and there’s more than enough distance coming off the highway to allow for it.

Sure, the yield sign could be turned into a Stop Sign (I honestly don't know why it isn't one now), but that's not what's in the picture, or where most of the conflicts happen. What's pictured is the an on-ramp and most of the conflicts are drivers drifting across the bike lane to get on to the expressway.

In Canada, 2 doctors have to agree that the patient is of sound mind, wants Medical Assistance in Dying, and their condition meets the minimum legal threshold. I think that system has been working fairly well.

Some products — like devices powered by combustion engines ... — are excluded from Oregon’s rules entirely.

It's sounds like what you're looking for is backup, and RAID is not backup, it's redundancy to maintain uptime (as well as data integrity, and in some cases performance). I'd highly recommend you look into backup options, with best case being a 3-2-1 backup strategy.

To be fair, I'm being a little hypocritical. I've been working on my backup strategy for years and still don’t have any remote backups yet. Personally, I have a JBOD system, with 8 drives ranging from 2TB to 8TB, so my setup might be a bit complicated for your purposes. I’m not worried about uptime, and am focused on data integrity. I’m not using actual RAID because in the case of a catastrophic failure, I don’t want to lose all my data. I use snapRAID to create some redundancy, and I pool my data drives using mergerfs.

If you are still interested in RAID, I would recommend staying away from hardware RAID as I’ve commented in other places of this post. It has it’s place in data centres but really doesn’t make sense for consumers anymore. There is a lot of good advice in the rest of the comments about RAID, so I’ll summarize my thoughts. If you only plan on having 2 drives, RAID 1 is a good option, though it’s generally used for it’s write performance and that’s probably not necessary on a media server. My current server is running on decade old, lower-end, consumer hardware, and even in that extreme case, media sometimes takes a second to start 1080p content remotely. If you want to add drives and are willing to expand in redundant pairs, you you can either add another RAID layer (RAID 1+0), or pool the partitions together. If you want to be able to expand by single drives/have more than 50% of your potential storage be realized, you could look at RAID 5/6 or ZFS/btrfs. Note that for RAID 5/6, drives need to be equal size.

Government ~~loans~~ ownership would be the way to go there.

FTFY. Neoliberal policies like this got us into this situation, they aren't the solution.

Tell me you wouldn’t drive a brand new BYD if it was $10,000 like it is in China.

It wouldn't be that price in the US anyways. The BYD Dolphin starts at €30K in Europe which is pretty comparable to the Chevy Bolt EV. Prices are similar in Australia and other places too.

I kind of understand what they're saying, that they too are losing ground vs inflation, but I agree with you, it's pretty hard to empathize. Especially when they say stupid stuff like, "I'm sorry, 2.8 per cent is a bagel and coffee," and, "I got a haircut yesterday and it cost me $40."

I'm not sure if that's reason we have people without family doctors in Ontario. According to the latest stats I could find (2019), Ontario has the lowest percentage of residents without a family doctor. Besides a few outliers, basically everywhere in the world has a shortage of doctors so at best you're drawing down on other jurisdictions. The only other point they make is that many doctors aren't choosing family medicine, but I don't feel like we have a glut of specialists?
