“This complicates our plans for a land bridge to Kaliningrad!”

You’ll notice that the report doesn’t estimate whether they died before or after Israel’s incursion.

Ain’t no party like a 50 cent party 'cuz a 50 cent party don’t stop.

China is having massive economic problems currently. Who is OP trying to convince otherwise? Ignore the cape. Watch the bullfighter.

Uh, have you seen the Chinese economy recently?

Also, when your economy is doing so poorly it’s easy to do better. When your economy is doing well, it’s more difficult to improve.

Mathematically, if I give a naked homeless person with no worldly possessions a sandwich, they have infinitely more wealth. It’s still just a sandwich though.

For anyone who’s been following along, Russia should have been able to take Avdivka over a year ago. For it to have taken this long really says everything. If this is a “turning point” in the war, there is still quite a lot of room for optimism.

I feel like we’re getting hung up on the definition of genocide. It is reasonable to believe that what is happening in Gaza does not fall under the definition. That doesn’t make it any less horrible. People are having a semantic argument while others perish.

Yes, the vague equivalent would be for the Native Americans to reclaim the United States via superior force ~1800 years from now.

It would put Israel “on the back foot” in regards to the conflict. Israel would be tied up negotiating for hostage release which is exactly where Hamas wants them. It stops being a question of who is winning a battle and turns it into “how much is Israel willing to sacrifice”.

“European settlers” in the sense that they hadn’t been in Israel since the Romans kicked them out in '65 for causing too much trouble with all their messiahs and religious zealotry.

There’s a whole conspiracy regarding Covid that RFK Jr. is blathering about. Supposedly this data breach targeted Jews and Chinese folks. I’m assuming that it’s related in some way, but it’s not clear how.

There’s going to be a lot of conservative men clamoring for UBI, or more likely, cutting off their own nose to spite their face.

The whalebone hoop-skirt industry would like to vociferously disagree!

I was at Buckingham Palace watching The Queen’s ghost welcome a diplomatic party of chupacabras from Jalisco. I didn’t even take my phone with me. I’m that stupid.

You’ll get no disagreement from me!

Yes, and in reality. When you charge more per item for goods and services so that healthcare is included, they cost more.

They settle out all of the heavier radioactive elements. They then dilute the remaining heavy water with additional water to drive the level of tritium to an acceptable level. It is then dumped into the ocean and rapidly mixes with the surrounding seawater. If you were to look at a map of ocean currents you’d see generally where it would go from there, but it doesn’t really matter because tritium isn’t really a significant concern. If they were dumping significant quantities of cobalt 60 you should care more, but they aren’t, so you shouldn’t.
