Depends. Was the Holocaust the result of that specific party doing specific war related activities? No. you're equating two very different things.

Pretty hard to argue that it wasn't.
The persecution of Jews in Germany certainly predated the war, but the extermination of them very much did not.

There was no propaganda angle, no strategic angle, nothing at all related to the war itself.

The dipshits literally blamed the Jews for the German loss of WW1. You bet WW2 played a role in the rapid acceleration of the persecution into mass murder.

On the flip side bombing things, especially infrastructure has everything to do with war.

Has to do with- sure. Particularly if done in good faith.
Both Ukraine and Russia are blowing shit up and/or killing innocent people and blaming it on the other side currently. Those are not legal and legitimate acts of war.

Honestly your false equivalence here is more disgusting than it is ignorant.

And your enablement of criminal activity as long as it's someone you support doing it is worse than disgusting. You're one of the fucking filth that voted Nazis into power because you hated some group of people, and then hid your face when they turned murderous.
You try to pretend like you're the opposite of them, but you're not. You're just too fucking stupid to see how you aren't.

So do I.
But I'll not let facts be a victim of that war as well.

There is rapid and strong outrage if you dare point out that Ukraine has gotten caught executing false flag action as well. One of which, the Nordstream bombing, even directly impacted the people giving them money.
That doesn't make them worse than Russia somehow. It just means they cannot be taken at their word.

No argument with Russia's past and certain future being propagandist piece of shit bad actors.

However, Ukraine spent 4 years blaming the Nordstream bombing on the Russians. When it was the Ukrainians did it.
Trying to pretend like these 2 people are cut from entirely different cloths is absolutely fucking asinine, and contrary to evidence.

Depends on what the person was doing at the time. If the person who didn't pull the trigger was holding up a liquor store and the police shot the wrong person, there's at least arguably mens rea, which is how we get things like the felony murder rule.

Not quite- that's how you get the proximate cause felony murder rule, of which only a couple of jurisdictions in the US, and none outside of the US in the Western world recognize due to its obvious injustice.

Extending that to involuntary manslaughter when the person didn't actually pull the trigger but directly created a situation where the police did seems like not that much of a stretch to me.

It isn't in proximate cause jurisdictions... but even then, not all of those.
To give you an example, in even the laxest proximate cause jurisdictions, if the police officer fires his weapon inappropriately, then the proximate cause is broken. You are not responsible for someone else breaking the law (say, pulling out an AR-15 and spraying into a crowd to stop you).

But even that's moot, since again- very few jurisdictions still recognize proximate cause felony murder.

I am not RWNJ, a right winger, a not job, or one who wears a bow tie.
You may call me someone who spent too much time in college learning how to be a scholar, which forced me to learn to view everything as objectively as possible as far away as possible. I'm not kool-aid proof, but I'm damn close.

Trying to shut down criticism of Ukraine with claims of false balance fallacies (ignorantly called "both sides") or accusations of trolling for Russia is just a fucked up purity test the left has began to employ in their ever-increasing panic attack over Trump's election.

Note: I vote left.

Quite incorrect.

The only equivalence I claimed was in fact true. They're clearly enumerated.
You extrapolated a false equivalence out of that, because your brain shuts down whenever any criticism is levied at all at your pet cause.

The things I listed being true does not mean that Ukraine and Russia are the same. The fact that I need to say that is a defect in your reasoning skills, not me employing a fallacy.

In our datacenters, our per-server MCE anomalies are, averaged, ~0.2/yr, across ~150 servers.
We're at sea level, and in datacenters with lots of shit on the roof, so maybe we're doing a little better than someone's house, but 1/week is 100% not the FSM fucking with your bits. That's memory or bus timings or voltage on the razor's edge or something.

Some car manufacturers want to wring more out of their investments in hybrid drivetrains. They are also hoping to delay long enough to catch up to the Chinese on battery tech.

Toyota is a great example. Their solid state battery tech is always a few years away from revolutionising the industry. They tried and abandoned hydrogen.
