Not really. It was ok but not great pizza.

I lived above a pizza shop at one point. Was not an issue.

In my state (Idaho) it’s because a good number of the legislators are landlords.

They don’t give a fuck that half their apartments are Airbnbs, they prefer it that way.

The UN statistics on deaths in Gaza have not been updated in months. Do you know why? Because israel has killed everyone that can count the dead and israel is not counting the dead.

Israel does not have numbers on how many people they’ve killed because they frankly do not care.

To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem’s death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn’t allowed any 3rd party verification.

Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem’s death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.

You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.

But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?

I once saw a hamas at a wendy’s. I was so ascared that the hamas was going to get me. Then the hamas just told me to stop starring at them. When I ever so politely yelled at them for hamasing around me, they just kept saying “Fuck off, I’m Mexican”, which I think is a new hamas antisemitic slur.

You did not answer my questions.

But I’ll answer yours. Hamas is not in the west bank you dolt. There is no “pretending” about it. You actually have to be mentally ill to think that somehow “Hamas” has spread out of one of the most heavily guarded regions through Israel and into the next most heavily guarded regions, the west bank.

I guess if you’ve now taken israel’s definition of “hamas” which is all arabs, then yeah, hamas is literally everywhere in the region.

Now, explain why fighting “hamas” involves desecrating bodies and bulldozing homes? How is that counter terrorism? Oh wait, you don’t think arabs are human so I guess that makes it ok, right?

Cool… and how many hostages are in the west bank? What did the west bank do to justify this invasion? Yeah…

usr does mean user. It was the place for user managed stuff originally. The home directory used to be a sub directory of the usr directory.

The meaning and purpose of unix directories has very organically evolved. Heck, it’s still evolving. For example, the new .config directory in the home directory.

Ad hominem: check.

Don’t expect any rational choices here.

Perhaps don’t cry about rationality if all you have in your brain is logical fallacies.

Here’s a quote from the site you cherry picked

Some people may choose to go vegan, for some it may be because they do not believe in farmed animal practices and animal exploitation, for others it may be due to environmental concerns. Whatever the reason The Vegan Society is here to support everyone on their vegan journey.

Gee, looks like the vegan society also recognizes some people become vegan because of climate change… Or maybe you are going to redefine more terms so you can win your argument.

Or maybe you are pulling a definition not commonly accepted by the community or English speakers. No, that can’t be right, you are obviously smarter than I am. After all, you are a rational person that’d never engage in strawman attacks.

Got it, so you are emotionally defining veganism in such a way that you aren’t actually vegan if you don’t get there for emotional reasons.

If that’s your definition of veganism then of course nobody can get there with reason. You’ve created a tautology with your emotion filled definition.

For the record, veganism is defined by MW as

: a strict vegetarian who consumes no food (such as meat, eggs, or dairy products) that comes from animals

also : one who abstains from using animal products (such as leather)

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vegan

That was the definition I was operating under. Sorry I didn’t Intuit your arbitrary definition you pulled from “eat meat.com” or whatever you got it.

Meat production is a prime contributor to climate change. Large amounts of resources go into raising meat. Further, cattle and pig production (not so much chicken) is the prime pathway to food contamination. Whenever you see lettuce recalls because of e. coli, that’s because animal shit got mixed in with the lettuce or the water for the lettuce.

Choosing not to eat meat because of these facts seems like a pretty rational choice, no emotion involved.

I disagree. Good people love bomb. People that love bomb don’t always do it for nefarious (from their perspective) reasons.

I’m a former mormon, and I can tell you that love bombing (from a cultists perspective) is never from ill intent. They are just trying to share “the truth” and they believe that if you adopt “the truth” everything about your life will be made better.

If someone is love bombing you for an organization, first thing to do is investigate that organization. Read the stuff they don’t want you to read. Particularly, don’t pull that information from their media/materials. You should seek out the opinions of ex-members of the organization to get a real feel for what it’s all about.

For example, imagine if the rotary club was trying to recruit you. What do you think an exrotarian would say? Well, you can google it. And, surprise, it’s mostly “Yeah, I moved and just sort of lost interest”.

Now go visit /r/exmormon and see the miles of shit they have to say about previous membership.

That, to me, is the acid test. Are exmembers that way because it was just sort of a “meh” event. Or did they get there because the organization was abusive?

The supports also need to withstand being rammed by drunks in dodge rams.

Why so many? Its resolution is 16000 x 16000 which is a lot but also not that much. Is it doing more than just video output?

The engine has hundreds of parts but really only a couple of them are moving. That’s the beauty of electric motors.

It does not work like that.

The problem with such statements is the energy costs are nowhere near fixed. The amount of energy needed to play a song on my iPod shuffle through a wired headset is wildly different from the power needed to play that same song on my TV through my home theater equipment.

The same is true on the backend. The amount of power Google spends serving up a wildly popular band is way less than what they burn serving up an unknown Indy band’s video. That’s because the popular band’s music will have been pre-optimized by Google to save on bandwidth and computing resources. When something is popular, it’s in their best interests to reduce the computational costs (ie power consumption) associated with serving that content.
