Israel is an occupier. This isn't symmetrical warfare. Israel won't let food into Gaza in reasonable quantities. It has restricted basic things like tent poles and just about any commodity which humans anywhere else in the world w

It's usually "Israeli Occupation Forces" as opposed to "Israeli Occupation Army". Both variants are objectively true.

Sorry but doesn't fly. Also Islam has nothing to do with Palestinian resistance. This theme of "Palestinians and Muslims are all Jihadists and all seek to kill Jews" is also getting really really old. 2026 will bring more enl

Depends on how you'd define success. It has been profitable since 2014. A few millions in revenue. Upkeep is another story when you have thousands of customers using the API. It's not so easy to keep everyone happy, as image quali

Looks great, but I can't help but think that categories are missing. Can we please have some amateur corn, and Asian corn at least?

I don't think it's depreciating much but you're right. It's going to one of my sisters. I held off a bit because it is corporate property but now it's written off in accounting terms.

I'm still "clinging" to my Pixel 6 Pro. I have an unboxed pixel 8 pro from 2 years ago. My corporate contract subsidizes a new phone every two years from the time of contract renewal. I really think the phone update cycle nee

I don't think that's crazy at all. Many of us like to "value-process" stuff and that just adds more fun and function. To give a simple example I've got smart lights installed throughout my flat and with the tiniest

My favourite thing about EXIF is its role in Hollywood and the news, e.g. "The geolocation from the metadata of this image verifies that this happened at this place and at this time", and other such nonsense nonsense. Always mak

Amazing store, but I think the elite soccer ball is a tad bit too expensive at $21. I'll wait until black Friday I think then get that for my least favourite nephew. Great work!

I'm not sure how galactic cosmic rays, other forms of radiation, and a small fraction of Earth's gravity (1.62 m/s²) could make it healthy and contribute to longevity. I'll go with NASA vetted the hell out of the health

That's exactly it. It's all "vibe" or "meme" stock with the promise of AGI right around the corner. Just like Mars colonisation in 2026 and other stupid promises designed to pump it up.

Alright, so based on that logic then: "Israelis have created a man-made starvation with particular emphasis on blocking baby formula and other life-saving essentials from Gaza." I'm not saying all Israelis. Just following you

I came here to say more or less the same thing. Also, it's hard to believe that that track was from 1994. Gosh, I'm getting old.

by karim79 1y ago
Easy. It's a cheap generalisation, like "Israelis perpetuating man-made starvation in Gaza". No, it's not all Israelis. It's the IDF (IOF) under instruction from the maniacs in charge.

by karim79 1y ago
So saying then >50% Israelis (conservatively) support starvation of Gazans is not an overreach. Also support for one group does not imply that all supporters take up arms in solidarity with said group.

> Gazans still hold Israeli hostages, Hamas, not Gazans. Nice play with language. > hostages, The thousands of Palestinian "administrative detainees" held without charge in Israel, are not hostages?

The law of dimishing marginal returns in action, to some extent. With that being said, I imagine that it depends on the goals of the individual. Burning calories, for instance, is a worthy pursuit and walking helps a bit.
