gollark: No, GTech™ [REDACTED] spatial curvature manipulation.
gollark: Is kept in the UK, not America.
gollark: If you cut all the links to Europe somehow, including indirect ones, you would really only succeed in isolating yourself from osmarks.net.
gollark: - Europe has its own set of datacenters and stuff, you would likely break a lot of things but there isn't one "internet" magically kept in America- There are multiple links
gollark: osmarks.net™ unfortunately has no UPS or anything, but the power grid here is VERY reliable.
