The article in question points out this is more a center for international things, so one can assume that this is funded by the American branch.

Unfortunately the UK Census doesn’t split the major religions into its various sects, so it’s not that easy to judge how many Mormons are in the UK, the last number I can see is around 140,000. Which isn’t really a lot.

There’s an interesting piece on the BBC about this training centre in Preston: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64790111

Pray tell, whomst among us cannot say that they haven’t accidentally launched around 13 drones at territory of a rival major defence pact? Do they contain a payload or not? I forgot, my memory is so terrible.

So instead, here’s a 2019 NIH Study: […]

That study long predates the current fascist crackdown on migrants.

I’m not making any argument, I’m simply correcting your misinformation with relevant scientific studies from the NIH.

You think migrants (and minority groups) being afraid to interact with law enforcement started after 2019?

Originally it was something like Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements.

I think this is a bit of a backronym, as it refers more to “import” vehicles from Japan.

“We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims.”

Can we take a guess about the result of the election by the people in Nelson County, where the Virginia Distillery Co is based?

the play would be increasing US authority in South America either preemptively or as a direct response to eastern influences like Russia and China.

Maybe, if there was a smart big thought in that brain. This will be simpler, as they will just build a building or two, a tower and hotel or something with his name on it. In exchange for $40 bil of other people’s money. He doesn’t care about strategy or geopolitics, this guy is 100% about the corruption and the personal benefit, the quid pro quo, he’s the mob president.

Would you say you were… out of the loops? 🌞 😎

It’s a bit vague as the government didn’t publish all details.

AFAICT the principle of this law is that the minister/department involved can override company decisions and issue instructions to those who work for the company in order to ensure customer orders are fulfilled. No actual ownership has changed as such, though this could be a precursor to that, but even though Wingtech still owns Nexperia, it has to obey the government edicts over those of Wingtech.

This is why I upgraded my Windows 10 laptop to a Fedora 42 one. 42 is obviously the biggest. And thusly better than Debian.

The only person liable here is the shooter.

On the very specific point of liability, while the shooter is the specific person that pulled the trigger, is there no liability for those that radicalised the person into turning into a shooter? If I was selling foodstuffs that poisoned people I’d be held to account by various regulatory bodies, yet pushing out material to poison people’s minds goes for the most part unpunished. If a preacher at a local religious centre was advocating terrorism, they’d face charges.

The UK government has a whole ream of context about this: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/97976/prevent-strategy-review.pdf

Google’s “common carrier” type of defence takes you only so far, as it’s not a purely neutral party in terms, as it “recommends”, not merely “delivers results”, as @joe points out. That recommendation should come with some editorial responsibility.
