Out of how many hundreds killed who were actually targeted? Give me a frickin' break. Hamas's 10/7 attack had a MUCH worse ratio than that.
Of course there are two simple solutions: 1) Everyone stop killing everyone, and B) Everyone kill everyone. Let God sort it out.
Making it clear that your side does not want to harm civilians, and getting the word out to stay away from military/government/organization people would be the idea of a fair warning, but in the Middle East, we are beyond there being "warnings". All of these terrorist organizations, people know who the members are, and avoiding them should be seen as a way to avoid getting hurt or killed.
Hmmm.
So what about the warning leaflets the Israelis dropped on Gazan civilians, telling them to go (pick a direction) in order to be safe, and then attacking in that exact direction, with enough delay to ensure the civilians actually got there in time to be attacked?
Seems like Israel - or at least their military leaders, the topmost being Netanyahu - is earning a bit of a terrorist rep itself. Talk about unforced errors....
At least you can take pride that you're not a member of any other species. They're all much nastier than us, even if not as competent at killing.
Gotcha. Oh I'm so proud that I'm not NOT a human being....
(facepalm)
why? these people are clearly not human. humans are better than this disgusting bullshit.
See, it's the "these fellow human beings aren't actually human beings" self-delusion that's really at the heart of this - and most other - conflicts.
If you'd start to realize that those "others" REALLY ARE HUMAN BEINGS, just like yourself, with all the same needs and wants and fears, then perhaps we could actually get somewhere.
Otherwise, why even bother? Nukes from orbit - problem solved for everyone.
Ya (human) dumbshit.
One issue. Since the 2000's every ThinkPad I've had has developed issues with the USB ports. I end up being forced to upgrade when I'm down to one working port. My current T14 just rolled past three years old (Note: never dropped). Like clockwork, the main USB C combined "charger port" died at 2.5 years old. If you hold it just so, it works for a second. I've moved on the second USB C port that can also charge the machine. I'll order a new ThinkPad in a 2-3 months.
Lenovo needs to connect the tiny USB C female adapter to the mother board with a much beefier fastener. The little clips they use give way after 4-6 cycles a day * (2 or 3) years. They are difficult to solder back on.
I miss coaxial power connectors on laptops. They don't fail.
Some laptops have the USB-C port on a little daughterboard, so when it breaks it's an easy module to replace. And yes, I miss proper coaxial plugs for laptops too. They last forever and the plug can go it at any angle. If the cable on the charger frays it's easy to replace the plug.
Framework (https://frame.work) has the most easily accessed of that feature.
Didn't/don't ThinkPads use those rectangular power connectors?
Personally I think USB-C is another of them planned obsolescence conspiracy thingies - at least on laptops.
I've swapped out more laptop motheboards for "loose," "wiggly," "flickery" and "it only works if you hold it in just the right way" USB-C ports than any other reason.
exactly, you could spin up a flywheel, then slow it down with regenerative braking and extract all that free energy.
What did you use to spin up the flywheel?

Companies don't exist, they don't commit crimes. People exist, people commit crimes.
The company at the heart of this issue doesn't exist? Oh my, how disappointing for all those users of (non-repairable) iProducts....

While I agree in spirit with your post, I guess I have to say it again: I'm charmed by your naivete.
WADR, we're in this situation (cannabis, not RTR) because Reagan "thought" (read "was convinced by entirely commercial interests, mostly tobacco and pharma") that he could stop all illegal drug usage in the US by conducting a Vietnam-style war against its populace.
It's worked amazingly well - especially for the non-white members of said populace - don't you think? (/s). Indeed, it was about those non-white members that cannabis was made illegal in the first place.
You're aware that the US government patented CBD in the 60's, aren't you?
And to the previous poster: I'm charmed by your naivete....

This. Or to put it a little less eloquently:
A state law can't simply legalize the conduct federal law prohibits.
Have you noticed a certain state-legal industry growing up (pun intended) around you lately? In California amongst others? Pretty sure it's federally illegal - though with luck that'll change soon.
I wonder how Apple's gonna handle that. iWeed? Seeds with DRM? Clones with SoCs? No doubt their R&D department has been scrambling (heh) for years. I suppose someone's bound to patent the THC molecule any day now.
Oh, wait....
All the people on
Is an inconvenience to get away from their products worth more or less than post you are against R2R but "vote" with your dollars anyways by buying Apple?

Why don't you guys have friends or journals?
Never paid Apple a single penny for hardware. Not one, not ever. So STFU.
BTW - interesting sig. Sure you're not projecting just a bit...?
Anyone remember a (TV?) movie version of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine where in the future the moon had broken apart due to overmining?
Now multiply the current "gentle tremors" issue by... I dunno... say a million tons or so.
But, you know, let's keep leaving spent crap on the moon - especially actual crap:

I'm sure we'll figure out a solution soon - especially since we've done such a wonderful job cleaning up Earth....
Once AI unemploys 80% of the populace, they can go work for SpaceX et al.
Ironic, ain't it?

With Capitalism, it's man against man. With Communism, it's the other way around.
