If you’re not adjusting for inflation you’re just betting that EV range won’t come down in price faster than inflation. Seems like a bit of a technicality, but I still wouldn’t bet on it myself. I have a feeling 350 miles of range is going to be pretty common in a few years.
That makes sense. Though it’s not unheard of for breakthroughs in battery chemistry to lead to increased energy density, which would increase range without increasing weight.
The military leader of Hamas has said he believes he has gained the upper hand over Israel and that the spiralling civilian death toll in Gaza would work in the militant group’s favor, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, citing leaked messages the newspaper said it had seen....
Hamas accepts a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution and is ready to negotiate over the details, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters on Tuesday, adding that it was up to Washington to ensure that Israel abides by it.
Hamas accepts the UN security council resolution in regard to the ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops and swap of hostages for detainees held by Israel, he said.
“The U.S. administration is facing a real test to carry out its commitments in compelling the occupation to immediately end the war in an implementation of the UN Security Council resolution,” Abu Zuhri said.
I thought this story was interesting. Especially the messages about how the taking of civilian hostages should not have happened. We don’t often get a glimpse into the mind of Hamas leadership like this. It can be hard to know what’s intentional and what’s not. You said the dying isn’t exactly news, which is why I haven’t been posting about that.
We’ll have to see what Blinken can do about it. He said he has a high confidence Israel will agree to the deal if Hamas does. I’m interested to see if the US can apply enough pressure to get a ceasefire in place.
Speaking to ABC News on Sunday morning, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US had “every expectation” that Israel would “say yes” to the proposed ceasefire deal if Hamas accepts....
By allowing the terrorism to succeed they’re encouraging further harassment against a vulnerable minority.
Many of my loved ones were already in danger from those hateful bigots, who are now emboldened and looking for new targets thanks to spineless corporate appeasement.
No, my solution is to protect the workers and continue to stand for queer acceptance. When people shoplift these corporations have no qualms with spending millions on security, but when it comes to standing up for the LGBTQ+ community they won’t put their money where their mouth is, they would rather shift the conflict onto people who don’t have ample resources to defend themselves.
I’ve worked retail for stores like that. It doesn’t need to be the way you’re describing it. If they put a fraction of the effort they put towards loss prevention into protecting their workers everyone could be safe.
Costco required masks for years during the pandemic, some people hated it and blamed the workers, but instead of giving up and backing down Costco invested in keeping their staff safe and de-escalating conflicts.
Like people, but with a feduciary responsibility to gain wealth at every opportunity. Corporations are almost like vampires: they don’t need food or water, they don’t age, they have inhuman power, yet they wear the guise of people; they pass as human to make it easier to drain us of our blood, an endless thirst they feel compelled to heed.
I’m no fan of capitalism, but this type of electoral dysfunction seems to run particularly deep in America. There’s many other democracies in capitalist nations that have the basic sense to treat such brazen bribery as a crime.
The Armenian genocide wasn’t that long ago, it happened during my grandmother’s lifetime, and the current leader of Turkey still denies it was a genocide. But bringing up the Spanish inquisition in 2024 is wack.
Yeah, I get that. I just wanted to clarify that it was a lot more recent than the middle ages, especially with how much genocide denial has been attempting to minimize those atrocities lately.
I’ve seen stickers around the town where I live calling him “Jihad Joe” for helping the Palestinians. He gets hate coming and going, meanwhile thousands of tons of aid are reaching the people of Gaza because of him.
The pier is having trouble getting aid past the Israeli offensive, but over 1000 tons have already been airdropped, and once logistics are worked out for the pier it’s expected to deliver 500 tons of aid per day.
Trump is easily more evil, he wants to accelerate the genocide. But even if you consider their position on Gaza as identical, he’s so much worse in all the other ways; he wants to give massive tax cuts to billionaires, criminalize trans people, and pass a national abortion ban. We cannot let that happen.
That says Hamas agreed to a proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar, Israel hasn’t agreed to it yet. There were a number of proposals before this one Israel agreed to that Hamas rejected. It seems to be a challenge to find a proposal both can accept.
Yes, a million times this. Voting is just one small part of what we must do to fight for a better future. Giving up is not an option, there is far too much at stake. Vote, protest, occupy, run for office, take direct action, organize, and create a better world for the people who come after us. Solidarity forever.
I said they’re both genocide. Just because the oppressor could lose doesn’t remove the possibility of genocide. Germany lost WW2, but they absolutely committed genocide.
Historically that’s total nonsense. Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were at war during the Nazi Holocaust in Russia that killed over a hundred thousand people. Are you saying that wasn’t genocide? I find that absurd.
Israel declared war on Hamas, but that’s still a genocide. Russia didn’t declare war until last month. Ukraine hasn’t declared war, they’re being invaded. So how does your distinction make any sense?
True, though Gimp makes it pretty easy when the text is in the same spot each frame like that: Make a new layer for blocking over the old text, put the new text on a layer above that one, then export to gif.
In some cases it seems a bit inconsistent, like Siemens is on the list because they’re working to build an undersea cable to allow Israel to integrate with the European electrical grid. Regardless of whether the land is called Israel or Palestine, it helps everyone to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.

My understanding is that Netanyahu allowed for funding from foreign nations to reach Hamas, but the money was largely coming from Iran. Did Israel directly fund Hamas?
The difference is that Iran was doing the funding while Netanyahu was facilitating it. The comment above criticized Iran for funding terrorists, and you said that by that token Israel should lose their nukes for funding Hamas, but it was Iran who was doing the funding.
I agree that what Israel did was fucked up, and absolutely no way for a nuclear power to behave. But it seems relevant to the conversation that the government writing the checks was Iran.
So if you were voting in a first past the post system, and the two leading candidates were Biden and ‘everyone gets boiled alive’, you would not vote for Biden?
Are you saying this genocide started under Biden? Trump went out of his way to make things worse for Palestinians, from moving the embassy to Jerusalem to the assassination of Soleimani. There’s a township in the Golan Heights named after Trump.
The definition of genocide doesn’t require authority to be applied. It’s like homicide, even without a conviction someone can be a murderer. What Israel is doing doesn’t need a ruling by the UN to be called a genocide, which is good because the UN apparently still hasn’t made up their mind.
Reading it over, I can see that scenario would have involved continued fire bombing campaigns, which had already killed over 300,000 people and left over 8 million homeless. It also suggests that many of Japan’s 2 million troops and thousands of planes would have been destroyed before surrender.
It says the vast majority of people surveyed in Japan at the time were willing to continue fighting the war, and the political structure made surrender particularly unlikely.
What do you think the US should have done in 1945?
