The initial push into the land is often funded by their agricultural ministry. Settlers force Palestinians off their land (with IDF support) to put their own sheep/goats out to pasture. The WSJ had a video earlier this year where they interview settlers and they show the reporters explicitly how they are receiving funding from the ministry. The rest of the funds come from private American donors who enthusiastically support the illegal annexations.

The foundational principle of Israel is the expulsion of Palestinians from Palestine since they are the chosen people and the land belongs to them.

Of which there are thousands in arbitrary detention waiting to be tried in sham military courts.

Or those Dairy lobby ones that talk about how much work they are doing to save the environment. What a crock

In one of my old jobs we had a couple thousand line shell script called something like prod_corrections_adhoc.ksh. It was used to jam through emergency fixes between code releases.

It still has ‘adhoc corrections’ from 2006

Is there any material difference between Edge and Chrome? I’m forced to use either of them for work and as far as I can tell they perform the same

Why are we starting new coal mines anywhere?

Generally agree, but damaging gas facilities can have undesirable consequences. An extreme methane leak is worse than combusting that gas

Prejudices against the LGBT community are already present in so many people that you don’t need brainwashing. Instead, this is about leveraging and amplifying the existing prejudice for political purposes.

I definitely do not value having lifetime access to 99.999% of the media I consume enough to have to deal with hoarding physical copies.

They were enemy combatants because they were within bombing radius of an enemy combatant. That was the American logic in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to print more humane-looking civilian casualty numbers

Imagining calling someone an NPC unironically.

Because Wagner is already there

Too bad I just had my second round of COVID at the end of August. If this booster had been available a couple of months earlier maybe I would have been able to prevent it! Thankfully because of the vaccines both times I’ve had it were mild

Two words: pube loofah. The mons pubis is a great place to lather up. Then I just scoop up soap with my bare hands and bring it where it needs to be.

This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity

Bring it to Canada!

I agree with your overall point but not the metaphor. Printing is more like using hand tools than cursive is, given it is slower and less mechanically efficient.

I personally write almost exclusively in cursive. Printing always felt so much more unnatural to me given that it requires lifting your pencil far too often. All of your time is spent lifting and resetting your pencil.
