For Canadians, Environment Canada has a fantastic app called WeatherCan that includes all of the usuals, has doppler radar for all of North America with the option for a one or three hour loop.

It also includes alerts from Environment Canada for any location you've added and links to the marine weather forecast site.

ISW: Economic, military indicators suggest Russia is preparing for large-scale war with NATO (kyivindependent.com)

Although not an imminent threat, the ISW assesses that Russian President Vladimir Putin's emphasis on growing Russia's economic and military capabilities is an indication that Russia is gearing up for conflict beyond "a protracted war in Ukraine."

From what I understand as a layman:

They don't have the missiles, and they're using Chinese, Iranian and North Korean supply there.

What they are apparently outgunning NATO on is artillery shell production. None of our countries have switched to wartime production, while Russia has, at least in some degree?

Moreover, if they have commanders that survive now, those commanders will be accustomed to drone warfare and drone based artillery spotting with firsthand experience and ours aren't.

If would still be a slaughter, but a lot of people would die on our side in the process. Not to mention China would absolutely start some shit too. Maybe Modi too, since he's more on his own than with NATO or Russia.

Checks predate debit cards and e-transfers by at least a millenia.

Debit cards replaced cheques in the 1990s in advanced countries. Less advanced countries like the US had to wait until the 2010s.

Cheques were unpopular and the US was overly reliant on credit cards.

US debit card usage in 2010 was at least 15 years behind Canada. We had tap and chip cards before you guys even accepted debit cards. E.g. San Francisco's and Seattle's transit systems didn't even accept them at all until 2017. Vancouver accepted them some 20 years earlier.
