Browning is now owned by FN Herstal, though the Browning business unit is still headquartered in the US.

Springfield is privately owned by an American family.

I'm calling it a bunnyhug now.

Ethics? That's for philosophy majors. Science and engineering majors already have too many other credits to complete.

It can be a very interesting conversation starter. I love hearing about the places people grew up, and how they ended up in the place they currently live. It's a much better topic than the small talk about work or TV shows or whatever else people discuss the first time they meet.

No no no. "Un" means "one." They are building the first in a series of forts. Canada is constructing its own version of the Maginot Line, but unlike the French they are extending it all the way to the sea (on both ends).

In America, you first become a legal permanent resident (we would say you have a "green card"). Once you have lived here for five years then you can apply for citizenship. The whole process is slow and can be somewhat arbitrary.

Another option is to enlist in the US military. After serving for several years you can get preferred status for citizenship.

As others said, this is a difficult time to be an immigrant in America. The current government is arresting and deporting legal residents based on flimsy accusations. You should consider waiting for Trump to be gone, or look at other countries.

I think this entire calendar is direct translations. Other pages have seemed incorrect after I looked up unfamiliar words. Though my Spanish is not good enough to catch the errors most of the time.

I got a generic-looking error when submitting my form. It wasn't clear whether the form data was successfully submitted.

If anyone needs an alias to use, you could pick from the list of DOGE staffer email addresses:

¡Tú! ¡Sí, tú! ¡Estarse quieta, chaval!

In my head I'm trying to yell it in that same rough accent. It sounds menacing.
