More likely it was a rocket that failed / went off course.

This isn’t going to hurt Google’s antitrust cases at all… Noooo sir.

Collective punishment is a war crime.

That guy is essential the head of the Republican party, which controls half of Congress and holds a majority of seats on the Supreme Court. When he says jump all of the other Republicans ask how high, while they all try to figure out ways to 1up each other to please him.

So when he speaks, he indicates what he wants to happen which telegraphs actions of all of his sicophants. So if he says “torpedo the border bill” it gets canned. If he says IDGAF about NATO, you can be sure China and Russia see an opening they can exploit.

Just like every basement is a hamas bunker and every sewer is a hamas tunnel.

They also won’t be able to tell you if Microsoft has plans to deport you to Mars.

Yes, you can legally make derivative works, but without license, it has to be fair use. In this case, where not only did they use one whole work in its entirety, they likely scraped thousands of whole NYT articles.

Scraping is the same as reading, not reproducing. That isn’t a copyright violation.

Ignoring the content of the words, they probably spaced it out like that so they could still see out the rear view mirror.

For first names we separately compiled lists of names that we liked from whatever sources we could find (Internet lists, books, media l names used in media, etc). We went through each other’s lists and vetoed names that were a hard no. Then we wrote the names out on a sheet of paper in random order in a playoff bracket style arrangement. Each pair had a winner until there was only one.

For middle names, it had to be something that flowed well with the first name. It also had to be able to convey that special sense of “you done fucked up” and disappointment when said with the first name (while emphasizing the second), like “John PAUL”. Finally, candidates were from (mostly deceased) family members.

Names and initials were checked to minimize bullying potential; if we could think of a way to abuse it the name or combination was rejected. For example, Karen would be a no due to current slang usage. Or if the initials would spell ASS.

Once, while traveling though Idaho, I came across someone peeling a potato in a reststop bathroom…

That whooshing sound, in case you were curious, was the point sailing right over your head.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Criticizing Israeli actions is not implicit approval of Hamas actions.

The challenge here is that Hamas are generally considered to be the bad guys. You expect the bad guys to do evil shit.

Israel is supposed to be the good guys in this scenario. Being the good guys means you are not expected to do evil shit, and are supposed to do the right thing even if it is harder. Except right now they are doing orders more magnitude evil shit than the bad guys. I don’t think it is unfair to call them out on that.

Hamas are not the good guys. That doesn’t make the hospital the bad guys, and it doesn’t make everyone in Gaza complicit. Your inability to separate different actors in this scenario is limiting your perspective and objectivity.

The latest claim is that they have found a shaft leading underground. How much you want to bet it looks like an elevator shaft, if they even release any pictures of it…

This is how to tell someone you haven’t checked grocery prices lately without actually telling them you haven’t checked grocery prices lately. A box of mediocre pasta alone is going to cost you $1.75. A jar of Preggo will run you another 2.50. So 4.25 for an I hate life spaghetti and marinara meal.

The sauce they make probably doesn’t come out of a jar of reconstituted tomato paste and dried seasonings either.

If you buy decent ingredients you are looking at $3 for the pasta and $9 for the sauce. Or $12 for an “ok for a home cook” spaghetti meal with no protein.

Restaurant serving sizes (for better or worse) are usually 2x+ larger than you would serve at home. Rent isn’t free for the restaurant either. Or labor. Or utilities. Or equipment. Etc. General rule of thumb is that a restaurant needs to charge 3x raw food costs to cover expenses.

So your I hate life pasta would need to be priced at $6.50 and your ok for home but not something I would be happy with getting at a restaurant pasta would need to be priced at $18.

You might say Israel is implementing a final solution to their problem…

Delete yourself you Russian shill

It looks like the warhead went off during flight. The explosion/fireball was most likely from unspent fuel from the the rocket. It definitely wasn’t a high energy explosion, it was more like the “atomize and set fire to gasoline” explosion fx you see in movies.
