How are death camps, the specific targeting of civilians, medical experimentation on detainees, burying prisoners alive and even cannibalism covered under "war of conquest". When does it become genocide? How is it any different (

Google is buying the TLD, not all the subdomains under it. They will then have control over the namespacing for the TLD and be able to distribute subdomains as they see fit. This is how most TLDs work because "app" itself is a dom

I'd love to take you up on this, but I'm afraid I'm thousands of "Miles" away. Sorry I had to. Nice Rick and Morty site on your portfolio!
