Pittsburgh PD will stop sending officers to certain emergency calls from 3am - 7am, redirecting them to a "telephone unit": "Those calls will be queued up for the person that comes in at 7am to take the reports in the morning." Everything is fine!

I started making a prototype and instead of making a widget, I decided to make a material for the prototype or drafts that would display 4 characters from MiniFont texture. I'll show you on my YouTube channel what the 4 symbols will look like #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev

There are growing calls for British men to be allowed to carry Enfield rifles as culturally significant symbols in response to Sikh kirpans. “If Sikhs can carry around a knife because it’s ‘culturally significant,’ then British men should be allowed to carry an Enfield rifle.”

In 1979, the world was not ready for Tom Waits. Was it really? Was he a character? Either way he became a prototype for many actors.

This Labour MP admits that there are "Native Brits and Non-Native Citizens." A good start. She also says that some groups are "seeking to rewrite the definition of Britishness as being based on ancestry alone." Right...Does she not realise that it was the British Nationality Acts of 1948 & 1981 that rewrote the definition of British to literally include anyone from anywhere in the world? The British People have ancestry from the British Isles dating back thousands of years. This is just a fact. Before mass-immigration, pre-1948, there was not a need to 'define Britishness'. Any definition that seeks to say 'anyone from anywhere in the world can be British' is genocidal as we are on the verge of becoming a minority in our homeland. Ancestry is everything. It is who we are as a People.

THE ONLY Colt 1909 Prototype The Colt Model 1909 is a true unicorn with only 22 ever produced. This pistol is one-of-a-kind prototype that John Moses Browning and four Ordnance officers fired 500 times for the right to make the critical 1909.
