dublet@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Europe's largest Mormon temple in Preston to expandEnglish1·5 days agoThe 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

Do they contain a payload or not? I forgot, my memory is so terrible.

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?

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

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?

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? 🌞 😎

dublet@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Dutch government takes control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia in 'highly exceptional' moveEnglish29·8 days agoIt’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.
