So is no one else excited for our return to orbiting the moon after 60 years?

I almost thought I'd never see this in MY lifetime.

Plus a Canadian is going.

Launching next week!

I dunno, maybe noone cares but I'm freaking stoked about this!

Yeah I'm pretty interested too, it's almost criminal how under-reported it is in the mainstream media. I just hope it goes all according to plan and their heat shield holds up. The World really needs a win right now, but I'm afraid it'll just be ignored for the most part and drowned out by some stupid Trump antic like announcing he'll militarize Jupiter or something.

I'm actually quite shocked how underreported this is.

From my last interest in the subject, it had sounded like a landing on the moon was quite some time away, at minimum sometime in the 2030s.

The fact that now we're looking to land by 2028 is impressive.

Return? When did humanity first go to the moon?

So as I understand it, they are really practicing & testing for the lunar landing in the near future, 2028 or whenever. But I'm thinking, they landed a few times in the 60's, 70's ... and we have more tech, more computational power, more data, more research etc. Why would they need so much 'practice' for the landing ... I guess we don't want another Apollo 13 moment. Too many things can go wrong on a mission like this ??!!

Looking for any witnesses or someone with dash cam footage of car accident today Sunday February 1, 2026 on Tyne street and East 49th Avenue around 1 pm. It just so happens my dash cam wasn't working.

I had a green light heading south on Tyne street and the other driver claimed she was already in the intersection heading west from East 49th avenue

Thank you

Hard to say with ICBC, my neighbor got into an accident about a year ago, from an eye test looks to be roughly the same amount of damage. It was a 1 year old CX9 and the estimated cost of repair was somewhere in around 10k ish and they simply wrote it off saying total loss lol.

I have a hunch if your car is the Forester, it's gonna get written off. It's worth 20k right now? You probably have at least 10k worth of repairs.

Guys, you aren't going to believe this shit..

So I get scam calls every so often, but one i've gotten lately is from Ledger. They had a major data breach awhile back so my information is out there.

It's always a british person calling saying my device is compromised and I need to send them information, other times they ask me for the secret seed phrase, whatever.
I always like to talk to these guys to try and figure out how they would potentially scam me.. I'm just curious like that.

Anyway, a few minutes into the call, I just straight up say, "Hey man, just curious, how many people fall for this scam".

No word of a lie, this guy goes, "Duddddde, people are stupid (And laughs)". He was using a voice spoofer and he immediately cut it. He sounded like some black guy from the states.

I ask him, how many people actually fall for it though, is it like 10%. He says, honestly, some days it's none, but some days it's everyone.

I then ask him, how much can you make. he said, "ahaha some days it's $500k". I say, no fucking way, no way, he says, "Seriously, i'm being 100, why would I need to lie to you".

I talked to him for a few more minutes, he's been doing it for two years, he found using the british accent is better because people feel more comfrotable with it, then I say, You know, I would think people with a ledger should be more savvy about this type of stuff, and he says, "It's all human psychology though, if you think you're in danger and about to lose everything you can do some pretty stupid shit".

Then he goes, "Aiite man I'll leave you be, have a good day"

I couldn't fucking believe what he told me. Absolutely fucking wild he can make $500k from scamming people in one day. Absolutely crazy. No wonder people scam people. If the pay day is that big... Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

I mean he can get $500K for the company he works with .. he's not making $500K in one day. But wild how he broke out of his character. If the call was recorded, I think he probably got his arse fired.

But honestly, these guys are vermin and the lowest of the lows when it comes to crime. They often target gullible, non techy seniors, cause a LOT of damage for family. These guys should be hung upside down and water board tortured.
