The best insurance I've ever had, by far, was when i was poor. NY states insurance covered everything for me and all my kids completely free (free for me, not the taxpayer). Now i get insurance through my well paying job and am paying

Not sure. I was using Sequalize for the ORM, but don't know if it was a Sequalize or postgres issue.

I recently ran into an issue where I needed to store an Uint8Array as a BYTEA in postgres. When i stored it directly, the Uint8Array would be modified and made bigger. When i converted it to a buffer and then stored it, it would work. Still

He is saying Al Jazeera is not reliable. I.e maybe we should not believe their report about social media censorship.

Rofl are you serious? Human shield is something like launching rockets from a playground, the roof of an apartment building, a mosque etc. Having a village a mile *behind* the border wall is not a human shield.

Oh, you mean the war where multiple arabs armies attacked the newly formed Israel at the behest of the local arabs? Where the leader of the Arab League Azzam Pasha said, "this will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre whi

Many Hamas rockets fall in Gaza killing Palestinians. There's something like a 30% failure rate.

It's wild that people are still pushing the IDF bombed a hospital narrative. You have to be willfully ignorant or just lying.

by hersko 3y ago
It doesn't take a genius to tell the difference between a hospital building being flattened and a fire in the parking lot. The people actually there knowingly lied, end of story.
288.
by hersko 3y ago
They shouldn't post anything until they have some sort of third party confirmation, even a simple photo would have shown that the hospital was not even touched. It would have been obvious that there were no 500 civilian casualties etc.

BBC is absolutely biased on the current conflict and should in no way be considered trustworthy.

I wonder how this will work in regards to Gaza. Apparently the IDF knows where many of the tunnels are, and presumably they can just blast into the middle of the tunnel system without having to force their way through a presumably fortified

They all updated their articles. They initially published a Hamas talking point (i.e an outright lie) with no verification or questions, as if it were fact.

Remember that time when the AP and Reuters published headlines that Israel had bombed a Palestinian hospital with 500 dead? When was that? Two days ago? I very much doubt their journalistic integrity when they publish Gaza Ministry of Healt
