I’m sorry that guy was at a shooting but a visor with Trump 20204 might be the most loser-coded thing I’ve ever seen. If you hold that visor up to your ear like a seashell, you can hear someone complaining about a family court judge ruling against him after he represented himself.
That isn’t really what the rest of article you linked to says. The next two paragraphs are about video evidence that partially (and maybe wholly) contradicts the IDF statement you quoted:
Video filmed at the scene of the strike appeared to corroborate parts of the military’s statement but not others.
Filmed by Mustafa Abutaha, a professor of English, the footage showed a large crater in a tree-lined plot of land close to a four-story residential building. A high wall separated part of the plot from the road, suggesting that it was an enclosed compound. But as he filmed the video, Mr. Abutaha said the plot had housed displaced people. Shortly afterward, a second man passed in front of the camera, holding a motionless child.
The NY Times isn’t reporting from the ground. They have a statement from the IDF and video footage contradicting at least part of the IDF’s story.
Don’t kink shame me.
I was required to stop eating pangolin after I was Patient Zero for a global coronavirus pandemic but I’m glad they’re being bred and domesticated. I do miss pangolin soup so and this gives me hope that I’ll get another ladle someday without all the repurcussions.
And if anyone wants to argue with me that it was bats or a lab leak, I want to be very clear: bat soup sucks — the texture bothers me more than the flavor — and I stopped cheating on my wives with virologists after my new therapist helped me understand I was really cheating on my own immune system.
Are we going to evacuate everything west of the Rockies over forest fires and anywhere with a river due to more frequent floods and the plains due to tornados? Honestly, I feel like Louisiana might be the most prepared for climate change since we deal with it all the time (much like the Netherlands) whereas a minor storm can hit NYC and flood the subways.
I happen to be in Utah right now and there were two 100 year floods in the high desert in two weeks. It was about an inch of rain and it wrecked things. New creeks formed and got mud everywhere. In New Orleans, an inch of rain is a normal summer day and our houses are raised and natural and manmade drainage exists. The problem is climate change, not climate. The traumatic floods aren’t going to be in places that always flood. It’s going to be in places where what used to be snow slowly melting is now just water rushing down a mountain.
I get what you’re saying but heaters are way worse than air conditioners in terms of emissions. People in New England getting diesel fuel — branded as “heating oil” — deliveries in winter isn’t questioned in the same way as Phoenix residents running their (electric) A/C is.
The American Southwest has been continuously inhabited for millennia. I don’t live there but I know I get lectured about where I live — New Orleans — by smug fools whose framework for understanding the world seems to come entirely from the Grasshopper and the Ant fable where preparing for winter makes you morally superior to everyone else.
Heritage Foundation is the main Republican “think tank.” When Republicans are out of power they hire people who they expect will return to power. When a politician writes a book no one gives a shit about, they buy copies in bulk to try to manipulate The NY Times best-seller list and make it seem popular. It’s just an arm of the Republican Party.
The equivalent for Democrats is the Center for American Progress. It’s not as evil but it’s also not a real think tank. (Real think tanks hire Ph D’s and produce academic-level work. Heritage and CAP are more like marketing companies masquerading as non-profits.)
Now you imagine that the rich man undermined democracy and the rule of law, monopolized industries, and charged everyone 5 tokens a year for basic necessities.
I don’t think it’s everyone else who has a child’s understanding of economics.
Las Vegas in general is a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat. Does it even exist without the Hoover Dam?
I’m glad I’ll be dead before I have to think about dates and times that hard. I’ll never forgive that one island that moved the international dateline or the parts of the United States that don’t follow daylight savings.
As a software engineer, I would like to add that we are done dealing with time and dates and Martians and Moonfolk better pick UTC and shut up or they aren’t touching the database.
Depending on how much you know already, the Crash Course Computer Science videos are an excellent place to start. It’s obviously an intro course but, like most Crash Course stuff, it does a good job of explaining the basics and also giving a bit of context and history.
I thought this article would have a substantive critique but it doesn’t. Quilette is absolutely not a reliable source. If you’re mad Wikipedia doesn’t trust a magazine that puts a faux intellectual veneer on early 1900’s race science, that’s a you problem, my good bitch, not Wikipedia’s. And the Daily Mail is so unreliable, I don’t trust it for rumors about soccer transfers and which celebrities are frenching in Ibiza. It’s a tabloid, not a reliable source.
For the record, Wikipedia doesn’t have an agenda against right wing sources. There’s plenty on their reliable sources list. They have an agenda against tabloids, quackery, and pseudoscience.
I would say a “recommendation” is an ad when an accountant is involved instead of (or in addition to) a curator. Even if it’s Microsoft recommending Microsoft’s products, department budgets probably track that internally (though I’m sure the official accounting is done in a way that shifts profits to a tax haven).
I’m not following this story closely but my understanding is that Copilot+ ones have a magical special chip (and keyboard button) and they take screenshots every few seconds so you can search your history. But, at least in the beta releases, they didn’t bother to mask passwords or really anything. You could have a private key in a screenshot.
I would hope by the final release, they add the bare minimum of security and encrypt it all but that’s not really good enough. It’s a misguided attempt to shoehorn Copilot into everything when A.I. can’t even wipe its own ass yet. Maybe someday. Probably not, though.
It’s clearly a gimmick and not an improvement. Press the “copilot button” and get help! But the copilot button isn’t a new button. It’s actually left-Shift + Windows key + F23. Modern computers don’t have F23 key but you can simulate it. I sure hope no hackers learn how to do that and search your entire history!
Russia is behind all the ░P░U░S░S░Y░ I░N░B░I░O░ accounts because they need to make at least $8/month to finance their political influence bot accounts.
That was partly me being a smart ass — America obviously loves free trade except when it doesn’t — but we did slap 100% tariffs on Chinese made cars and we subsidize EVs that don’t source materials from China (and a few other “nations of concern” that don’t really export those materials anyway).
I guess the mighty Iranian NAVY is no longer a threat to commandeer merchant vessels before they enter the port of Baltimore. (That collapsed bridge is but we’ll move that as soon as we find our magnet fishing set.)
Copilot+ is a reason not to buy one of those laptops. It’s a privacy and security nightmare.
Assassin bugs only kill for money. Mosquitos do it because they’re out for blood.
