It's pretty easy to beat this. Just stop buying from Delta.

Do you have any idea how difficult this is? That's like telling people to stop buying from Amazon because of how awfully they treat their workers and all the fake Chinese stuff they sell.

It's impossible to do. I haven't bought from Amazon in years, that's how difficult it is.

Comment Why DVDs are better (Score 4, Insightful) 22

I know there are people who will grumble and whine that DVDs are sooooooo outdated, but this is another example of why they are superior. You never have to worry someone else will take it away from you.

You bought it. You own it. Unless someone breaks into your home and takes it or your home burns down, it is yours forever. You can watch it as many times as you like whenever you want. You are not restricted to someone else's schedule. Nor do you have to worry about it breaking up because the signal got botched.

Further, DVDs don't change. No one can alter the movie with "new and improved" scenes or added "features". Han will always shoot first.

That Microsoft has told users there are no refunds is further justification why DVDs are better than streaming.

Sensible humans? The ones in India? The most populous nation on the planet? The one where air pollutants are so thick in major cities it looks like fog? Where farmers openly burn their fields to make way for next year's crops contributing to the air pollution? The country which the article states will increase its use of coal-fired power plants? Those sensible humans?

It's complete and utter BS. The 2 state solution has been proposed multiple times ( https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQ... ) , the Arabs are refusing it because it would de-escalate the conflict and would normalize the very *existence* of Israel, which is what they are denying (and you here as well, due to their very effective propaganda).

Also very very personally, I have 0 sympathy for anyone attacking Israel, so no love to anyone who attempts on lives of any Israelis, may they all burn in this life and any and all afterlives (which I don't believe in, I am a complete atheist).

To me, everyone who attacks Israel is barbaric and must be destroyed, how about that? There is no genocide of anyone in Gaza because it's not me, who is running Israel, does it work for you?

I am well aware of ruzzian/Israeli relationship. There are a couple of million ex-soviets living in Israel, I was one of them back in 1992, when I moved to Israel from Ukraine.

Israel is doing everything anyone could ever do to protect civilians from being killed in fire indiscriminately https://chatgpt.com/c/6876bd05... Sure, you can always say that more could be done, AFAIC they are way overdoing.

Have a horrible day.

There's some responsibility of the loss of life on any government agency that allowed for habitable structures in a flood plain.

The camp was in a known flood zone. That entire area is a flood zone. They petitioned the government to remove their camp from the flood zone so they could build more buildings in the flood zone.

The commissioners in Kerr County asked Texas to get the money to upgrade and improve the early warning system for this area. Every time Texas couldn't find the money. As one commissioner said in 2016:

âoeIâ(TM)m not trying to put a dollar on a life or a flood, but the fact of the matter [is] floods do happen, and we need to be prepared for them,â then-Kerr County Commissioner Bob Reeves noted during a series of public meetings that began in 2016. And, his former colleague Tom Moser pointed out, âoeWe also have more summer camps than anybody else along the Guadalupe River.â

In addition, some of the county commissioners voted against upgrading the system.

But 2016 meeting minutes show there was also opposition to a flood warning system among some commissioners, with one saying, "the thought of our beautiful Kerr County having these damn sirens going off in the middle of [the] night, I'm going to have to start drinking again to put up with y'all."

Another commissioner voted against submitting a grant application for the warning system, saying he thought "this whole thing is a little extravagant for Kerr County."

Instead, several county officials argued that the county's informal system of "river calling" â" essentially a phone tree to warn camps of imminent flooding â" was sufficient.

Absolutely Israel is fighting for its survival. 7th of October shows that Israel must destroy all of its enemies that surround it. Hamas and others were supplied by Iran, which must be stopped from developing a nuclear bomb specifically because it would be much easier to just get that bomb into Israel through Gaza and blow it up in the middle of any city, most likely Tel Aviv or Haifa (they wouldn't do it in Jerusalem). Any 'civilian' within Gaza is suspect, that's where Hamas is recruiting from in the first place. I applaud Israel for making progress against Iran and now it must finish what needs to be finished all around it, especially Gaza.

Iran has policy of destroying Israel, it's their religious policy and policy of the State, so they are obviously interested in keeping all of the various local conflicts going for as long as it takes to destroy Israel. Israel is under a strategic threat, it's not just Gaza and Hamas, this was made clear when Iran started supplying Houthis with missiles. Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis under the guiding hand of Iran and with support from ruzzia. That's what Israel is fighting against. Just because you don't understand it doesn't change their equation and they must not and will not give up, they must destroy its enemies to survive.

The fact that the Western world has been brainwashed and is now so antisemitic and anti-Israel just shows how effective the propaganda pushed from Iran with the help of the ruzzian troll/bot farms became, that's a weapon that must be taken seriously. It was used to brainwash Americans into supporting putin and ganging up against Israel as well.

Israel is doing more than anyone to prevent casualties in their fighting, that's exactly why they develop and use extremely precise bombs and ammunition. Again, I wouldn't, but they care.

Israel is fighting for its survival.
Ukraine is fighting for its survival.
Both are attacked by terrorists.
Ukraine is attacked by a terrorist mafia state.
Israel is attacked by a terrorist religiously controlled state.

Their situation is different because Ukraine is a much bigger country in terms of land and people but Israel had much more time to prepare for this war obviously and it had support of the USA for a long time now.

Israel must win this to survive as a country.
Ukraine must win this to survive as a country.
