Lol my comment from last week which got heavily downvoted:
Considering Biden repealed his settler sanctions, I’d actually bet this eventually gets approved after Israel promises to pay shipping fees in exchange for breaking the SLA stating they can’t do a genocide
mfw he doubled down and approved another massive sale on top of the smaller blocked shipment.
I find it sad that president from the late 70s showed more care for his constituency and broader world during the cold war than what our current president seems to be actively avoiding during a self funded genocide.
Still think jet fuel is the wrong thing to be looking at with carbon fuel emissions.
It is technically more feasible on a small scale because jet (and turbine) engines will burn basically anything, with jet fuel being a mixture of kerosene like hydrocarbons.
But iirc both land vehicle and shipping outclass airplanes in total emissions.
Cars & Trucks can be (for much cheaper) replaced by proper mass transit like high speed rail.
And I’m surprised cargo ships still run mostly on novelty sized diesel engines. Would be interesting to throw a small ultra safe nuclear powered engine on one of those or even just enforcing better fuel use instead of spamming low grade MDO.
He wrote that the justifications for Israel’s war in Gaza became “difficult to defend” and that “whatever the justification you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not.” The post received an outpouring of support with hundreds of likes and comments in just a few...
There were like 10 reported cases total because hospitals would only send for a test with a solid match up of symptoms and if the patient had recently traveled from China.
Then when they opened up testing for everyone after CA and NY started going up in flames, it went from 10 to like 1000 cases reported every day.
All in a span of like two weeks.
Went from meme to pandemic so fast Whitmer closed public schools faster than the schools themselves could.
Oh and then Trump got mad and refused to send aid or allow harsher restrictions lol.
1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) is among companies that are suing the wife of former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak for allegedly obtaining over US$346 million worth of luxury goods through misappropriated funds.
Half assing a report saying that Israeli maybe used US weapons against civilians after 6 months of Israel blatantly murdering civilians with US weapons is definitely not enough lol.
Israel seems to be going ahead with their full assault on Rafah which means the ceasefire deal is probably down the gutter.
So it would be enough if Biden actually follows through with serious consequences for Israel. He stopped one shipment as a threat so far, so I’m patiently waiting to see how he reacts.
It’s stupid seeing lowest bidder contractors announcing inafara projects with a finish date of like 3 years into the future for something that could be easily completed in months with proper equipment, personnel, and expertise.
I ran with 8gb ram for 7 years because zram would shove my swap into what little ram I had available and it actually worked well enough that I didn’t feel like upgrading until this year lol.
Lol unless Biden changes course, SE Michigan alone will ensure his loss of the state.
Dearborn does not screw around and will happily take 4 years of Trump if their demands are not met. They were very aware of Hillary’s sketchy past as Secretary of State when she ran in 2016 and she lost Michigan because only 10k people didn’t vote for her.
And iirc the total turnout was already like 400k less compared to Obama.

Please not Ubuntu. It has enough of its own issues that it originally turned me away from Linux.
Oh and KDE for the desktop environment if you want great out of box windows like UI if you go with Fedora. Mint comes with cinnamon which is also pretty good. xfce if you want to run linux on a potato.
If tiktok were a serious threat, the executive branch would have already banned it by now via an executive order.
That’s not what happend, instead a whole bill went through congress and got passed with the explanation being “foreign influence” as if American social media platforms don’t already do the same thing
This is more about removing foreign competition and not about saving democracy or ensuring security.
DoD already banned it 4 years ago for military because of the actual security threat of data collection.
