Anybody else have to triple check it wasn't just The Onion trolling?

How is it anglocentric? To me it seems the opposite.
This is be being unable to buy the show in Russian, in the united states. Region locking doesn't just prohibit US content from being played elsewhere, it prevents Americans from seeing a lot of amazing things produced around the world just as readily.

Neither your, nor my politics have absolutely nothing to do with the accuracy of your information, though if anything, we should hold our own side to a higher standard. There are so so many easily verifiable things to write about, that its beyond pointless to trash our credibility over things that are proven inaccurate with a little bit of fact checking. I mean, Phillips being the wrong age to have been in Vietnam, as he claimed to Vox, would have been trivial to detect with any fact checking at all, and should have raised flags about the rest of his narrative.
No one here is even trying to advance narrative high school boys are angels, with a bit a of digging it's pretty easy to find things that Covington Catholic does may well deserve the level of public shaming that this story got.
However in this case, the entire narrative has been pretty widely disputed, Caitlin Flanagan does it much more elegantly than I could.

As for the source, why not go to the original, like any responsible journalist should have, copy of the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwNyOD8FIQk
Feel free to tell me when you hear them chanting "Build a wall", I haven't heard it.
The first widely reported, and easily proven incorrect fact is that Nathan Phillips is a Vietnam Veteran, see fairly through coverage of that here:

So really you're asking me to believe the narrative of someone who is proven to be lying about his military service, with no corroborating video of his claims, which just seems a bit ludicrous.

The article was modified, and the sections in your quote added. I should have used the internet archive originally.

Why not just build an SMS gateway for emergency services with GPS coordinates and call it a day? It seems like the important bit is the gateway, not the 3 word response

It's poorly written press coverage of https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.04956
tl;dr We find strong evidence that in our domain, features describing the inherent difficulty of an instance are significantly more powerful than features based on skill or time.

This a fire dept wanting people outside of taxable area to pay for it's data usage and calling it "Net Neutrality" for news coverage.
Sighs. So much fail.

It's easier and more affordable to leave than you'd think.

Aren't most people advocating for the removal of the DEA not the entire FDA?

Only if you can afford to pay them. Otherwise they linger for quite some time.
