On that note-
Jesus saves.
Buddha makes incremental backups.

So.... According to what's said so far-

Israel:
Swiping land. Cutting off commerce.

Not go in and recapture land and/or take things you need to survive?

Palestinians (HAMAS/etc terrorists from adjacent countries like Iran):

Murder, rape and torture. Civilians. In a cowardly surprise attack.

Just wow.
One of these is not even close to equivalent.

That "Bully" could have made Gaza a parking lot. So the answer is to try hard to ratchet things up?

Are you somehow trying to even begin to put any blame for this event on Israel? Are you really that high, or what? The atrocities committed intentionally and without provocation are representative of the lowest grade of cowards possible.

If focused killing of civilians is the combat chosen by their enemies, I hope Israel doesn't hold fire just because those terrorist cowards use innocents as human shields. I pray they can focus with precision and greatly limit non-com casualties. If they aren't very successful at it, I hope they at least take out all those that stroke their ego killing and raping women and children.

But it isn't my fight.
I just can't stand that Palestinians gave in (or whatever) at some point, and have scumbag terrorists attacking a country that could pound their whole area to glass. That is, if Israel were pieces of useless trash like those cowards.

But they aren't. So they've held off. So far.

You have the most important point in this. Words are just that, until actions occur. It's not good that people actually believe and say ridiculous hyperbole equating words with violence, or silence with violence.

If I talk about how someone should just die, and say it in a the most hurtful, hate filled way possible, they might feel all kinds of emotions.
If I decide that they are an existential threat, even a short barrel .380 is gonna leave an impression of what is violence.

I'm not a "big guy" or a "keyboard warrior", or anything else of the sort; I am just a guy who's experienced the difference, and gave that experience when necessary as well.
It takes a whole lot of reality disconnect to not know the difference between talking and doing.

Probably a fair ways back from TV, dimmed, and recessed up in the ceiling. The room would need to be rectangular such that the lights are far enough from TV. The recessed part is the key.

This comes off as an asshole answer. Maybe it is just harsh. It's also completely correct. Business accounts, and dedicated circuits have guarantees in the contract. Failure to deliver can be very costly to the ISP. This goes around the NN rules because the problem and the solution are located at the ISP. The ISP charges more to offset the rigidity of the customer's service requirement(s).

Not to say you are not right, but I do want you to know that the definition of mass shooting varies. Additionally, the focus on guns seems odd, since IEDs and vehicles can and have produced much larger counts. See:
Oklahoma City bombing
9/11
etc.

Just as an fyi, not even 1% of defensive shootings make any news. There are a lot of them.

There is a bigger picture, and even if you are correct, we don't and won't live in some magical utopia where guns are gone, and evil doers don't have them.
It's a bigger, and not simple, discussion is all I am saying.

Yep! Mine was a Diamond Viper VLB 2MB. Now, you can't play at typical resolutions on newer games without 200 times as much video memory....

Google wasn't always like that at all. I prefer key word and boolean search. It makes sense to tailor your search to limit useless responses.

Maybe a handful of rogue FBI agents? If you're looking at 500 million or more in a commodity to spread around amongst the group, big trucks, backhoes, etc aren't even the least annoying to get off-record.

It's important to help those less fortunate. Do your part, and run your extensive tests on the page, saving them from very costly consulting fees.
Just give back, my friend!

Definitely a reliable cause and effect there. I've seen it.

1. Company hires developers, and they work remote for years.
2. One manager requires developers to come in to office for "reasons".
3. Most are >100 miles away from office, so the everyone with real skill bails.
4. Company doesn't require experienced and valuable people to be in office any more.

Your experience is very similar to a few of my former work places.

".....having to jump over a VERY high bar."

I prefer "having to jump off a VERY high cliff."

But I don't participate in that market, so my thoughts revolve around the wasted energy, (largely prior) effects on GPU prices, and the eventual mountains of electronics that are not suitable for landfills without prior treatment.
