I hope we keep it. It matches the maps I have from 7th grade.

Reminds me of my 9th grade teacher who was refusing to call it USSR like everyone else and was insisting on saying "usre" (pronounced like a word). To this day still wondering if it was militant, or if she just read that on a map and thought it was a word.

nato.int is the coolest domain in the world for me.

It is also the first ever .int domain, and indeed the original motivation for creating .int (to replace the short lived .nato)

Remember tpc.int?

I hope we will NOT keep it. It reminds me how my country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union.

Maybe remove history books, they also remind people about this.

Removing .su != burning books. I will tell you opposite: we should write in history books the truth about what in realty USSR was and teach children with it so tragedies like USSR never happen again.

I wonder what happens to .co.uk if the UK dissolves, which seems more possible than it should be after Brexit?

Unlikely Brexit ever happens. There's too much at stake here, globalists would never let it happen. If UK detaches from the EU and it becomes successful, the EU project is over.

I think that's a big _if_ here. Most probably the economy will crumble and there will be fights in Northern Ireland again. Also whatever kind of border has to be established, to separate UK and Ireland, as people would obviously not be allowed to enter the UK/Schengen area without proper border checks...

Huh, well that's my new thing I've learned today. I only ever heard it in conjunction with curry-type things (katsu chicken, which was always served with curry, for instance).

Katsu is just a japonization of the word Cuts. Chicken Katsu = Chicken Cuts

Mind moderately blown.

I believe anyone can register the .xyz domains. They're typically on sale for $0.99 on GoDaddy for the first year, so there seems to be a lot of junk, volume registrations using it.

My bad, my main point is that likely the most restrictive would be one of the corporate/private TLDs that are for internal use mainly. .xyz was a bad example. Maybe better is .bananarepublic

There's literally hundreds of new gTLDs like this that only have the one required nic.tld on them and nothing else (because they haven't launched yet and might never). My team runs a couple dozen of these.

For comparison's sake, we should probably restrict ourselves to legacy gTLDs, ccTLDs, and open, launched new gTLDs.

Not quite. Katsu is from Cutlet. (cutlet -> カツレツ -> かつ).
