Thanks, just sent you a reply!

Thanks for volunteering! Do you have a Matrix account? Compared to Lemmy comments and direct messages, it would make for easier communications, especially between multiple moderators.

Ah yes, the "APIcalypse" or "Rexxit".

@burble@lemmy.dbzer0.com, @clothes@lemmy.world, would either of you be interested?

Thanks! Quite a few of us seem to have our cake days around this time...

Canada HAS into space.

True, but only with help. All our astronauts have flown on either U.S. or Russian launch vehicles. Heck, we haven't even had an orbital launch from Canadian soil.

Happy cake day!
