The 15-minute primary launch window opens at 3:55 p.m. EDT, 19:55 UTC, and a backup opportunity is available on Wednesday, July 1 with a 15-minute launch window opening at 3:51 p.m. EDT, 19:51 UTC.
Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. The spacecraft will deploy approximately 1 hour and 29 minutes after liftoff.

We'd still be able to use it for navigation/timekeeping/etc, just like we can still use GLONASS despite it being owned by those nasty Ruskies.
The concern was losing access to the more secure PRS level of the service which the Military would need access to were we ever to end up going to war with another nation. That wouldn't have been ideal, but it wasn't exactly the end of the world either, as we still have access to the American secure system (and probably the Russian one, too).
Regardless. As expected, just like the USA (and probably Russia), the EU have said that we can continue to use the Galileo PRS as long as we're not planning on going to, or currently at war with any EU member states (Section 3, Subsection F.)
So basically, unless we somehow ended up at war with both the EU and the USA, we'd have access to a Military navigation system regardless of what the EU decided. And if we find ourselves in that particular situation, I think it's safe to say we'd be massively fucked anyway. Just shitty leftist pearl-clutching alarmism from the Guardian, and lazy journalism from Gizmodo as usual.

I agree with señor penis
Noah tells a lot of lame jokes, he' turned a good show into a mediocre forgettable one.
and seeing as though you're a hyperoffended cancel culture twat, here's one Noah told about Indigenous Australian woman:
"All women of every race can be beautiful, and I know some of you are sitting there now going, 'Oh Trevor, yeah, but I've never seen a beautiful Aborigine'.
Yeah, but you know what you say? You say 'yet'. That's what you say; 'yet'. Because you haven't seen all of them, right? Plus it's not always about looks. Maybe Aborigine women do special things? Maybe they'll just like, jump on top of you?"
www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-26/trevor-noah-refuses-to-apologise-for-joke-about-indigenous-women/10038876
but I suppose that puts you in a dilemma, Noah is black, as if you criticise him as white person you're shit scared of being thought of as being racist. If it was a white person who told a joke like this you'd permabrand them as a racist and happily and sanctimoniously bring it up every time to confirm your moral superiority over him and people who post his videos, like you're doing to brb now, because that's what it's all about. you do the hypocritical cokey and you turn about...

mr penis expressed an opinion about the humour, you told him he was racist and he could fuck off
He gave a more nuanced view which admitted his biases, you told him he was racist and to fuck off.
This is pretty textbook permaoffended cancel culture.
Trevor Noah told a joke whose essence is "aboriginal woman are ugly but maybe they compensate for it by being sexually aggressive" and refused to apologise for it. You continue to promote him while condemning others because you're a hypocrite, and your stand on racism is really about the thrill you get from sanctimony and the permission it gives you to be awful to people who you believe transgress

To be fair, Penis only commented on the unfunnyness of Trevor Noah.
You steered the conversation into talking about racism and accusing him of it.

To be even more fair (and balamced)
Mr Penis comments something racist whenever he can, and doesn't seem to be able to understand that I would like him to fuck off.
And to be even more fair (and even more balanced) people rushing to defend his racism can also fuck off.
So get to fucking off with your support of 'anti-racist critics' please, cheers.

Not a single instance of defending racism
has occurred in this thread.
I'm pretty sure he does understand you'd like him to fuck off, but I'm guessing he doesn't care about your nuanced opinion.
You should probably put him on ignore or something.

He's repeatedly revealed himself as a racist outside of this thread.
I don't need to prove he's a racist in every new thread.
I'd very much like him and all his racist friends to fuck all the way off.

You're almost certainly just as racist as me, birb. Quite possibly moreso.
It's just that you're either completely oblivious to it, or projecting *really* hard.

Admittedly, that's probably far more accurate than 'abject racist'.
Although, I veer more towards the sociopathy spectrum as opposed to the psychopathy spectrum. I'm not nearly charismatic enough to be a psychopath and I have a reasonably well-functioning moral compass. I just don't really do well with the whole compassion thing. At all.

You don't need to prove anyone is a racist in any thread.
You just need to put them on ignore, and this will achieve what you want.
Because irrespective of what has happened before, right here and right now you're being completely unreasonable and need to get a grip on yourself. Right now you're going "REEEEEEE! RACIST!" while pointing at a guy who isn't doing or saying anything racist, and while you yourself actually bring up the topic of race seemingly in order to have an excuse to trigger yourself.

The other day
I saw a good argument for replacing the word 'privilege' with 'imagined superiority'.
Now, I mentally do that when I see the word privilege and I find it far more apt in most situations.
It neatly removes the possibility for people who are poor to reject the idea that they are racist because they reject the idea that they are privileged.

Because the thought police have decided that they imagine themselves to be superior?

I took this to mean that the superiority is imagined by a third party, not the person who - as seems clear in the post - does not see themself as superior/privileged.

I didn't go there, but I see where you're coming from*
It was the "they reject the idea that they are privileged" bit that gave me my interpretation. And I thought it worked well until I saw how easy it was to misunderstand.
Maybe not summing up complex ideas in pretty, two-word soundbites was the real treasure all along.

Basically, I don't think this substitution works,
because depending on the context you're gonna get very different results.

You have convinced me.
As a direct substitution it doesn't work in all cases. But for describing the issue, longform, it still feels like it could be more helpful than the soiled phrase 'privilege'.
This place has really gone downhill with all your rational arguments and polite debate. I come here to be called a cunt and then ignored.

I always think of the vinyl police whenever anyone invokes thought policing

I'm not usually one to mention thought policing,
but if the diagnostic used to to determine if someone is racist is to examine their imagination for any signs of a superiority complex, then that's pretty much the definition of thought policing.

You could be right
My GSXR's starter motor went, couldn't afford to get it fixed, got driving lessons for my wife's car when she was pregnant, drove her car through winter, bike lay dormant. Until the lock down I then drove my daughter to my mum's on the way to my new job which I'd never manage in winter on a bike anyway because it would be treacherous. Rode for 12 years all weather before that though. You don't know cold until you've driven from Bournemouth to Newbury on the B roads in freezing weather on a 125! I'll get another one one day!

Going through red lights at high speed whilst trying to undertake another car that almost certainly obstructed his view of the van (think about the timings and where the white car would be going)is an act of madness.
I see many motorcyclists on the road and in hospital; a few get knocked off driving defensively, huge numbers get knocked off without thinking about what other road users are doing.
In the UK, on average every rider will suffer one major accident breaking a bone or worse. Luckily some idiot on his fourth or fifth skews the average in my favour!
Don't ride as if the driver hasn't seen you, drive as if he has seen you and wants to kill you anyway.
