>>The Oct 7th attack didnt come from Jordan or any of the surrounding countries. It came from the people Israel hasnt allowed to have any kind of self determination for well over half a century.

hezbollah has been launching missiles at northern israel out of lebanon for decades. at a certain point you have to admit that these people just really, really hate the jews

also, it's not like the jews didn't spend some 1400 years trying to 'ingratiate themselves to the locals' with no success.

and? seriously, like the guy asked, what hornet's nest did that longstanding community, big or small, kick exactly?

this is moronic. the bit you're quoting says that vaccines so far do not provide lifetime immunity as infections by the viruses themselves don't provide lifetime immunity. that doesn't mean the vaccines aren't effective, it just means they don't last forever so it's difficult to establish durable herd immunity with them.

the jews of hebron were a community that had been there for centuries. but yeah i could see how you'd think that's totes entitlement, i guess

it's weird then that other camps in the area evacuated

I love that the advertisement I'm seeing on this page right now is for a browser extension (from Microsoft)

I guess the fact that this can win a prize just tells me it was good that I never bothered to enter any 'hacking' contests in my entire 35 (+ education) year career.

thing is, rural hospitals budget out far enough in advance that they're gonna start closing *now* over the cuts to medicaid, not after the midterms. similar is true for health care centers looking to break ground now, those guys are gonna walk

I'm having flashbacks to that sequence in Real Genius (the 1980s movie with Val Kilmer) where over time, tape recorders have replaced not only all the students in a lecture hall (except for Mitch), but also the professor.

FB is bad enough for those who dislike the current US government to be constantly seeing things shared.

BlueSky is that times a thousand. While there are other topics discussed, the political posts overwhelm the feeds, and 'bleed' into the other topics you might have tried to make special feeds for. Disney, National Parks, Muppets, Science, Star Trek - everything has a political angle that somebody is going to bring up.

So I quit (or rather, stopped visiting). I can't live with outrage-generation 24-7, but BlueSky has turned into that (and Threads is pretty full, too).

they're the late adopters, yes...but also the biggest financiers. They may be the late adopters but very much drive the current directions.

The term 'design language' has been in use for decades now. It isn't "bullshit", it is just the term that is used within the industry.

>>It will be filled with another part of the food chain.

when? like overnight? will bat species that live off of mosquitos immediately shift to some other food source or will their populations collapse before they have the time to make that kind of change in the behaviour of the whole-ass species

i mean, that's what a credit card is. you pay with the card and if you pay the balance before finance charges kick in, you don't pay any interest. if not, you get charged.
