I think there was a proposal floated with the idea of a new name in Chinook, "Illaheechuck", but it failed to - as you say - get buy in from the public at large. I like the idea of a name in Chinook, though - what better bridge between native and settler than the language they mutually created?

I'm just curious, could you expand on what the rules are pertaining to this subject here? This is the first I've heard of it, since the Rules on the sidebar don't mention it.
"If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing."
Of course I don't condone shooting perps or their lawyers, but I frankly don't have any difficulty whatsoever in understanding him. This case is one of the most vile crimes I've seen in our province, and I can't imagine what the family has had to go through.
And to add to that, while the defence lawyers certainly are just doing their job, their arguments were utterly revolting. An insult to the victim, her family, and the collective intelligence of the people of this province. Supposedly the perp's lawyer has received copious death threats, and again - I'm sure none of us condone shooting lawyers, I think it's hard to blame people.
I'm just glad the jury had none of it and found him guilty.
Anyone who has followed this conflict closely can see alarming gaps in the Forces' equipment. The lack of systems like self-propelled guns, rocket artillery, and weaponised drones / loitering munitions would put our troops in a seriously bad position if push came to shove.
The brutal reality is that Putin's Russia embodies everything the Trump Republicans dream of for America: a boundlessly corrupt, white supremacist, ethnonationalist fascist state whose oligarchs possess limitless power so long as they obey The President.
They call themselves the "party of Reagan", while they trip over themselves to sell the geopolitical future of Europe down the river to Moscow...
I see that they used the wrong tense for "described", but that could be a typo. Other than that it seems grammatical to me. I guess "alluded to" and "described" are redundant, but that's more a stylistic defect than an actual error imo.
I know here in BC the Labour ministry has job centres called "WorkBC" that not only help with resumes and job searches, but actually have dedicated classes specifically for newcomers from Ukraine.
P.S. Welcome! We're glad to have you, and I hope everything works out without too much trouble :)
"Chinese officials visibly nervous at the outpouring of public praise for dead leader [who they had sidelined and demoted]."
Русский, no — Российский, yes.
Well, it's a good thing that the Bad Foreigners are to blame for the issue — otherwise the Kremlin might be forced to engage in critical thinking over the implications of their incessant agitprop for the stability in minority regions, and we can't have that.
So apparently there's a combat unit of the Ukrainian Army who posts their videos as "Khorne Group", @ImmateriumUKRKhorne, and dabs His sigil on hardware like 122mm shells.

That's a crossover I didn't see coming!

"This 14th century door at Exeter Cathedral, UK, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap
A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.
Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305 to 1467, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents."
Busiest I've seen downtown since pre-pandemic — it was good to see so many people enjoying themselves! Hope everyone here had a good day.

It's genuinely great to hear that that wasn't the overall goal or intention of the idea.
That said, I think it also does need to be acknowledged that there absolutely were prominent influencers on social media who preached HAES literally - as in, posting videos vehemently declaring the doctors are lying to you and obesity is actually perfectly healthy.
I guess as with many other things, it's a case of the extreme outliers (who in this case, as you say, didn't even get the point) getting the most attention and spoiling things for the sane people.
