Thanks. It’s hard for me to judge tactics from video, as I can’t really tell what is accidental collateral damage vs purposeful. The statements by Israeli leadership definitely supports the view that they are purposefully being punitive… which is monstrous.

Your response seems to be equivalent to “never defend yourself against someone holding an innocent hostage.”

To clarify, I’m not sure what response doesn’t result in more innocent people dying.

I don’t really care about this specific conflict more than any other. And morally I don’t care for the lives of one side more than the other. And morally I don’t care who lived in what cities 100 years ago (note: unless those specific people are involved).

My confusion seems to be that the ‘right’ response people seem to want to this is no response.

So I just heard about this whole thing last night. What is the preferred Israeli response to this?

To me it looks like Hamas using occupied buildings as places to attack from, the Israel being told they aren’t allowed to hit back at people using human shields.

I think the issue might be visibility.

Naively, it feels like most of the issue is from a small number of extra sooty vehicles. But that belief is probably just because of how visible it is. The brake/Tyree dust isn’t visible because it is more spread out.

The irony of the background saying Restore Sanity

They are problems for them… even if they want to pretend those problems are hoaxes.

I see this the same as a company asking for a SSN. I didn’t pick it, it is really hard to change without physical/mental pain, and is spoofable anyway.

Based on those criteria… I’m not sure why I care about sharing it. I wouldn’t solely use it for something I’m securing myself, but if some company wants too, I don’t really take issue.

Rosa memes are actually unique much of the time. And they call back to memorable scenes… so win win.

I guess I wasn’t clear where on the surface the storage is. Do they still make a dam type area to store the ‘high’ water, or is it just a different part of the mine which is closer to the surface?

I was able to find some mine numbers… yeah; insane. Especially something like an open cut mine which is functionally already lake shaped.

Can you? To store the energy you need to pump up; to use it you need to flow back down. Where is the ‘down’ or ‘up’ from a mine shaft?

I’d also question if the volume would be worth it.

Edit: maybe you are thinking compressed air?

Shorter: found out

This. Unless your use/purchase directly supports something you disagree with, people shouldn’t be worried so much. Companies and organizations are huge. They are all going to contain shitty people.

If you are on the internet, you have no choice but to indirectly supporting shitty people.

If you are worried about that do actual politics, not this ‘you eat ChikFilA you monster’ type shit.0

This is a government mandate for one corporation to pay another corporation to share it’s product. This isn’t ‘helping the little guy’ or anything.

People still have the ability to just go directly to the news site. Or Google. Or the government’s Facebook page. Or the national alert system. And probably lots of other options I don’t know about.

The law (“you must pay for the news you show unless otherwise agreed”) seems reasonable. As does the response of “well it isn’t worth enough to pay for”.

Will it make you feel better if I tell you it’s actually fake and just made of fish?

(It isn’t actually… but I love octopus balls too… live in fiction with me fiction)

Not for their argument they can’t.

They seem to have been arguing about the non-disclosure to the public/Trump, not the actual delivery of the tweets.

If they’d delivered the tweets/drafts, they would have complied with no downside, and still been able to fight the non-disclosure. (Or just do what they did anyway, and tell people about it)

I did that too; it was during Covid :)

I think/acted similar to you… which is why I think we might all be common minding.

That said, people that aren’t motivated to do good things are most likely motivated to do nothing… so it might not be a big deal if they don’t show up for a job.

TLDR: fewer workers at Burger King probably would t make service worse

I love the idea of UBI. But I can’t help but worry I’m wrong.

My love for UBI assumes that idle hands will make themselves useful in productive, please or at least non-destructive ways.

I’m not clear I can justify that

My Dad just last night was complaining about wind farms…

Ai will solve this before Google fully implements it.

OpenCV might even be enough to solve this… although not efficiently.

The internal question always needs to be ‘what is my next best alternative - if I need to actually say no’. Without an answer you are comfortable with, you won’t be able to negotiate.

It is a someone evil aspect to reality…. those who have more, and need less, have a better position to negotiate for me.
