Comment Re:Flipping an effective tie (Score 1) 201

when in the most recent elections in Britain, SNP, Sinn Fein and Plaid Cymru all won victories. All parties that head movements to separate from England, and in Sein Fenn's case, rejoin Ireland.

Are you talking about the local elections? That was pretty much a vote against Keir Starmer's Labour along with the financial mess Britain is in. The financial mess has a lot to do with the mess David Cameron made of the country (Austerity and Brexit) so voting for Farage's party feels to me like turkeys voting for Christmas. (Yes, Cameron made the mess, but BoJo and Truss compounded it).
If Sinn Fein gets Northern Ireland to being part of Ireland again, NI is back in the EU anyway.
The last I heard, the SNP was pro-EU. They pretty much have to be, their electorate was very much in favour of remaining 10 years ago (I think it was 55:45).
I have no idea what Plaid Cymru wants.

I'm not an American - and have not been there since the runup to Dubya's Iraq war - but I'm surprised to hear that as well. First person reports I've read indicated that VA physical health care is sub-optimal and VA mental health care severely sub-optimal, although both are very much cheaper than the alternatives.

Sanctions against the employees, blacklisting their products in the US and allied countries. Think of what was unleashed on Huawei after vague "they could be" allegations, these ones are "they are" and the company has already made it clear that their business model is at least partially dependent on spearfishing WhatsApp.

"Farah Issa, studio manager of Hot 8 Yoga, showed the Chronicle a copy of the surveillance video from her phone, noting how the Waymo dropped off the suspect and waited for him to finish the burglary before taking off again."

I'm taking that as meaning she would have told them right from the start. She obviously cared, they did not.

That was pretty much what happened to "Kim Dotcom's" servers in New Zealand in 2012, except that he was offering an encrypted cloud and had no way of taking backups. Last I heard, the data was gone and a lot of companies / private users were really really screwed. If the servers were ever returned and the data recovered, it will have been years later.
Pirated movies, police raids and politics: A timeline of the Kim Dotcom saga seems fairly accurate, Wikipedia also covers this.
