In other news, this is so exciting ! They've managed to teleport information.
To me, WiFi already sounds like teleporting information, but this isn't waves, this is info that disappears and reappears elsewhere !

North Korea only had 28 domains, and they've all been leaked to the outside world. Reddit crashed like 15 of them when it happened. XD

More specifically, they're decommissioning it and no longer control reentry. It'll desintegrate mostly upon reentry, but some unlucky sod may get some shrapnel through their roof.

This guy is a clown.
It was so satisfying to see him being put down when he tried that kind of attitude in an international summit. Welcome to diplomacy mate, you're no longer top dog.

Damn straight, and it's absolutely amazing. One day, I plan on cycling over a month or so along the trail with camping gear.
Imagine if they did the same throughout the USA and linked the two trails together ?! That would be so much fun.
