Tell me how that works for BC, who’s a net positive for transfer payments and is the source of the Columbia River whose water system travels through three states after leaving BC?

I’d rephrase that:

“By casting your ballot for Kamala Harris, you are voting AGAINST Vladimir Putin.”

That means the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist, along with the .io domain and countless websites.

What will happen is that the International Standard for Organization (ISO) will remove the country code “IO.” IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) which creates and assigns top-level domains, uses this code to determine which top-level country domains should exist. Once ‘IO’ is removed, IANA will start the process of retiring .io, which involves stopping new registrations and the expiration of existing ‘.io domains.‘

I don’t get this: shouldn’t Mauritius gain ownership of .io? Russia has .su, and it’s been over 30 years since the Soviets existed.

[edit] also, since there’s .whateveryouwant these days, why not just make .io a non-country TLD? That’s how it’s used anyway.

Move to a different country?

This is different from the most distinctively Canadian animals… which is why the Virginia Opossum is in the list, along with other animals that are common to other places, but evolutionarily isolated within Canada.

“Please stop attacking the people who harmed innocent Lebanese people on Lebanese soil without the notification of your government, and who are still lobbing missiles over your border.”

So… cleanup costs match the cash confiscated.

All this, and only a single person was arrested.

And it’s the largest operation busted — there’s probably numerous others across Canada that haven’t been discovered yet.

Or, it could lower the number of frequent flyers.
