alcyoneous,

Wow, what a change from 2016 to today for her.

alcyoneous,

Privatization is one of the recommended policies, but essentially every place that has implemented it isn’t better off now. Studies show that it works for increasing the performance of the enterprises, but making shareholders richer doesn’t really matter for standards of living. Even the IMF and IBRD have started to see issues with privatizing everything. Argentina will one day be stronger, but not as a result of these policies.

alcyoneous,

The variety in question takes 25 years to mature and so far has been resistant to cultivation.

Hamas’ philosophy: All civilians, all children are tools of war (nypost.com)

Major Y [an American who went to Israel to fight] and other people on the ground I have spoken with say that they estimate about one in every two or three [civilian] homes in Gaza they go into has military weaponry, including AK47s, grenades and rocket launchers. And they routinely find entrances to Hamas’s terror tunnels...

alcyoneous,

Intent doesn’t need to be explicit, but in this case it is.

abcnews.go.com/…/harsh-israeli-rhetoric-palestini…

In particular:

“Deputy Knesset speaker Nissim Vaturi from the ruling Likud party wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Israelis had one common goal, “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.” Israeli Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu, from the far-right Jewish Power party, suggested that Israel drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza and said there were “no uninvolved civilians” in the territory.”

Also the list of genocidal acts, as per the UN Genocide Convention, stipulates that any one of those acts is genocide, not that all 5 must be done. Acts 1 to 3 are very clearly being used in Gaza, and with Knesset members establishing intent it’s clearly a genocide, but arguably even without those statements the actions Israel has undertaken still fit the definition.

alcyoneous,

Them being right wing is bad yes, but both politicians form members of the governing coalition, including Likud. One is the deputy Speaker. Israel is not a military dictatorship, the Knesset has control over them, and it’s made clear with the numerous expressions like this that the ruling parties have a genocidal intent.

In addition, Law for Palestine has compiled lists of what they believe to be evidence of genocidal intent, including from military leaders. Some of the statements included are a stretch, but it will undoubtedly be enlightening for you to read through it.

Just a quick correction, the ICJ (where this is taking place) is the UN Judicial body. The ICC, established by the Rome Statute, is a different thing. If you’re a UN member, the ICJ has jurisdiction.

The ICC is also launching a war crimes probe, but as you noted, Israel and the US aren’t signatories so that might not amount to much.

alcyoneous,

Gotcha! I think tressless could still be a good resource then, but from what I recall it’s mostly men.

My mom and sister have both started using minox and have started to see some positive results, but I’m not sure of the biological process that would cause follicle dormancy/death in females, so I’m not sure what results you could expect. Also to note, minoxidil can cause some shedding at first, so your hair will look thinner for a few months until it starts to regrow more.

alcyoneous,

I am not a doctor, but have had some results using minoxidil and Foligain’s Minox&Triox spray. As was pointed out in the other comment, hair follicles will start to die as you age (assuming you’re male) this is caused by DHT which is a result of testosterone breaking down. First the follicle goes dormant, and then dies. Depending on how advanced your thinning is, you can likely reactivate and save between few and most of the follicles. I hate recommending Reddit, but r/tressless is a good resource, but they pass around a lot of lingo so be prepared for that.

alcyoneous,

Not OP, but I use Orion browser which lets you use some 3rd party extensions. Also I’m pretty sure Firefox does too. These are all based on WebKit though, so uBlock Origin doesn’t behave as well as the full fledged desktop versions imo.

alcyoneous,

I definitely agree that they will try, but I’m sure the average FB/Insta/Threads user won’t go through the process of installing a third party store just for those apps, particularly when they’re already available on the App Store. With something like Fortnite that’s not available I could see it. But with Meta products I doubt it, particularly with the older, less tech savvy crowd that tends to use them.

alcyoneous,

Exactly this. Active recovery (moving the muscles around like normal with a bit of exercise) is the best. Limping will likely cause other problems down the line.

alcyoneous,

Never heard of it, but something to check out for sure. I’ve been using Kagi and it reminds me just how far gone most search engines have become.

alcyoneous,

Wow, I had no clue about the USS Liberty incident but that seems pretty damming.

alcyoneous,

Tattoo it backwards onto your forehead, so every time you stare into a carboy you can see it reflecting back

alcyoneous,

I think they’re just so shameless that no amount of dirt will stick to them

alcyoneous,

I don’t disagree, but with 998 people polled, it’s not that reliable. To add to that, Rasmussen reports ran the poll and they have a rightward lean, so definitely doubtful of this polling.

alcyoneous,

The stock iOS weather app

alcyoneous,

Surprised that they are evaluating iOS and iPadOS separately.

alcyoneous,

It’s definitely seems to have accelerated under Macron in the past few years though…

alcyoneous,

From my experience in the US, most use teflon-lined/non-stick pots and pans

alcyoneous,

This really hurts my brain

alcyoneous,

Also, mycotoxins bioaccumulate. You might not get sick now, but you’re definitely increasing your chance of future illness and potentially reduced lifespan.

alcyoneous,

They can handle it, and they do filter it out of you, but it is a slow process that takes a lot of time compared to how the body processes other waste products. The danger is that mycotoxins are harmful in extremely small amounts, so any extended accumulation is harmful.

alcyoneous,

And you don’t have to show up to the train station that long before your scheduled departure compared to flights. Train stations are also centrally located for most people compared to airports. My thinking has been that if it’s around 5-7 hrs by train, the flight will be faster but the time you spend waiting for the flight makes the time you spend pretty much equal out.

alcyoneous,

It’s a modern Windows XP image!
