This brings back fond memories of my first, home-built, computer from 1982: the Ferguson Big Board, running CP/M.

there's plenty of evidence that the IDF has shot civilians even when it's not a self defense situation

It is not surprising—rather, it is expected during war (i.e. "War is hell")—that individual soldiers or officers engage in killing of civilians out of hate or revenge. That is why we created international laws of war. However, there is no evidence that the Israeli army engages in this as a matter of policy or with the approval of higher command.

The international laws of war were established to minimize the deaths of civilians. Hamas fighters have zero disregard for those laws and engage in all of the practices those laws outlaw—with predictable outcomes. Hence, there will be terrible impacts to, and deaths of, civilians.

That said, it should be noted that those same civilians largely support the actions that Hamas engages in, which are the very actions getting those civilians killed. Hence, it is hard for me to have much sympathy. It's like watching Reddit videos on r/WhyWomenLiveLonger, or r/DumbassesWithLighters.

Daylight saving time is a compromise. As such, it has disadvantages. But apparently, it is better than the alternatives, because every time it was abolished, it was reinstated again very soon. Let 1973 be a lesson to you.

Since its introduction, there has never been an instance in which daylight saving time (DST) was "abolished"—especially 1973. In 1973, DST was made permanent and semiannual changes back to standard time were abolished. Yes, 1973 was a lesson, but not the one you are claiming.

Humanity has a long history of using permanent standard time, as that's what everyone used up until the introduction of DST in 1918. Permanent standard time is also in current use in two states (Hawaii and Arizona); but until 1973, no one had ever even tried permanent DST. The lesson in 1973 was that permanent DST was widely hated. The lesson was also that you shouldn't force nationwide application of something that has never been tried, nor whose consequences were particularly well thought through.
