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.

Given that's a heavily-editorialised rehash of a story from The Grauniad, I'd probably take that with a pinch of salt.

Thing is, it's a mostly-built constellation and it's there ready to use. If you can't use it for GPS, then I'm sure you can think of another use for a global communication system.

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post Oh, don't get me wrong. I'd hate Trevor Noah if he was white, too.
It's not the shade of his skin I find abhorrent, it's his atrocious delivery, constant mugging to the camera and his tireless "That's not how it was in Sef Efrica" jibes.

Anyway. I'm certainly not a "self-admitted racist". Racists are the kind of cunts that celebrate and promote prejudice and bigotry. I'm just one of those cunts that realise that I harbour prejudice, whether I like it or not, and do my best not to let it influence my behaviour when it starts to rear its ugly head.

This is a normal post 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 does racism. I don't like that.

He also tries to steer conversations towards tedious right wing talking points. Look at what the video is about, compare that to what you're talking about.

This is a normal post 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

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.

lucky stupid.
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!
