IMO, Iran was expecting an Israeli response on par with what Iran actually hit in Israel and not what Iran targeted. Iran expected Israel to hit some rocks in the desert. Israel hit actual military targets and Iran is outraged. Iran cannot win this game.

Sounds like you need a zip line! 😂

Am I the only one on here using Budgie. I just feel more comfortable with the workflow using Budgie.

I walk or bike to about 90% of the places I need to go. That said, I also recently bought a vehicle for $1200. Works fine except the fuel gauge is broke so I have to just keep it topped off. My neighbor is trying to sell his Kia Rio for $1500. Works fine. It’ll last at least another 3 or 4 years. Likely more. I have a friend whose son totaled out his car. He wanted another. I recommended a car that was in the $1000 to $2000 price range. He didn’t want it. He took out a loan and got a very nice, very sporty car. Then he got in another wreck and totaled it out too. So then he goes and gets himself another expensive car. I just don’t understand.

It is like any other election for me. I don’t want either of them. I’m guaranteed to be disappointed.

I’ve met a few fascists in my life and every one of them has referred to Israelis as “the tribe,” and advocated for arming the Palestinians so they could finish what Hitler could not. Their ideology was ugly but also very unsupportive of Israel.

I think support for Israel is based on their sharing three principle values of the west: liberalism, democracy, & capitalism.

Why do they call themselves the “Communist Party of China,” then?

Says I’m 10%. BMI says I’m 22.5. I think that’s a big difference? I’m very tall, thin, but have solid muscle and work out about two hours per day.

This is not new and it has previously been used against anti-abortion activists, tracking locations and even being used to record religious confessions. People on both sides of the abortion issue can oppose this type of monitoring.

He gets his news via Soviet messaging pidgin! /s

You think college food service companies are going to suddenly care about quality?

Catering companies, in search of greater profits, will assume this means loads more high fructose corn syrup and “vegetable based” saturated fats. More garbage, more obesity.

The Russians will have then liquored up first. These North Koreans will be toys to them.

If you look at early votes, Republicans are doing better in every close state other than Pennsylvania. So assuming there’s a correlation with party affiliation, the polls are probably correct. If Harris is going to pull this off, she needs to address the ground game in these pivotal states.

A number of child victims were rescued and safeguarded in the Philippines, including three in relation to this case.

That’s half way down the article. Doesn’t say what happened to the woman but I’m glad the Philippines government is doing something.

For me it was the opposite. Windows required too much support. It didn’t do what they wanted it to do and bad updates inevitably caused problems. With Solus Linux everything became easier for them.

I wouldn’t consider a country that cannot manage its own power supply “successful.” I suspect the US would be more willing to help if Cuba stopped being a one-party authoritarian state that sides with America’s geopolitical enemies, namely Russia.

Edit: Yes, Texas sucks as a country. They aren’t one but would be a failed nation if they tried. They aren’t even a very good US state as far as states go. Your Texas argument just supports my statement above even harder.

Edit 2: Cuban grid operators are blaming an influx of air conditioning units (residential & business) as being the stressor that brought down the grid. This story does not jive well with those here arguing the problem is US trade policy regarding the island nation. Cuba did not run out of oil. It can get equipment to operate the grid. Heck, Turkey send Cuba seven mobile power plants to assist the grid. None of it is working because Cuba has a serious brain drain issue. Educated people leave Cuba. The grid likely failed because the people keeping it running left the country.

I think they believe that images of living things become idols. If I recall, Amish have similar concerns, but they don’t try to enforce it outside of their community. Fortunately, there was no such thing as audio recording when their religion was invented, so hopefully at least that’ll be tolerated. Radio broadcasts are better than no broadcasts.
