Why should they not? They posted an inquiry, looking for advice. That is their reason for posting.
They do not owe personal information beyond what is required to answer the question. And typically, with regards to anything resembling a legal matter, the less information posted publicly, the better.
I mean, kinda? They’re also heavily descended from 7th Century AD Arabic conquerors, but yes, many other natives may have adopted Arabic culture, language and religion at that time.
But Jewish culture is also derived from the Canaanite culture, with arguably more overlap. Jewish culture in the region can be traced back to at least the 9th Century BC, with the literal Kingdom of Israel. So the argument of “Well who was there first?” does not necessarily favor the Palestinians over the Israelis.
This has always been happening though. It’s not like the Ottomans took over the region peacefully. It’s been conquered and re-conquered by Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans…
That’s been happening for the last 5,000 years in that region though, since the Canaanites.
It’s not like the Palestinians were the first there.
I mean, they have electricity.
Amish aren’t anti-technology across the board. They pick and choose, trying to prohibit what they feel weakens the community.
It’s common for Amish to operate phones or computers for their businesses, they’re just not allowed at home.
Are you talking about Tel Megiddo?
The only battle there in the last two millennia was in 1918AD. Not 70AD.
The people expecting or hoping for it in their lifetime should have read their Bibles better. I’m not religious anymore but I still remember one of the last things Jesus said was “You won’t know when I’m coming back.”
Just throw Matthew 24:36 at them.
There are absolutely incentives - tax credits and rebates - for buying electric bikes in some areas. My state is offering $500 off any ebike purchase.
The auto industry is not being subsidized by consumer incentives. The auto industry is being subsidized by tax credits whenever they build a new facility, which is still arguably dumb. Consumer incentives are designed to get the average citizen to buy an EV over an ICE vehicle. The consumer is gonna buy a car anyway - someone in the market for a car isn’t going to buy a bike, even an ebike, based off of price. They’re buying a mode of transportation based off of lifestyle. Many simply can’t commute to work via bike or public transportation, and if a credit gets them to buy an EV over an ICE vehicle, this is a net benefit.
The solution to public transportation is not to attempt to disincentivize or punish car drivers, then build mass transit. Gotta build the mass transit first. The financial incentives for people taking mass transit are the fact that the most expensive mass transit in the US costs ~$1,500/year. The cost of owning an operating the average car in the US is ~$10,700/year. Yes, build more mass transit to free us from being slaved to expensive automobiles! But until then, preventing incentives for greener vehicles that would be purchased by those who have no choice is just shooting yourself in the foot.
I wanna know if they all applied those sentiments to all pets.
There isn’t a single domesticated animal that isn’t “gross” and has to be cleaned up after constantly. Dogs will shit on the floor when you don’t let them outside to shit in nature, but a cat doing what it’s supposed to do will shit in a box you have to empty regularly and shreds your furniture for fun. At least dogs only lick their balls, cats have the flexibility to straight up lick their assholes.
I feel like there could be a few rational explanations to that, but I want someone smarter than me to tell me what exactly they could be…
If you want the best Android experience you’re not going to do better than a Pixel. It’s a Google OS, on Google hardware. I myself am looking forward to the Pixel 8 Pro.
Hardware wise, Samsung may meet or maybe even exceed Google’s line, but not significantly enough to make a difference in my opinion. Especially with the newer Pixels, it’s a pretty mature product at this point.
Yeah, as a heavy Google user I would use this if I had a reason to use a VPN. Google is scraping all my information anyway from my Android phone, my Google searches, and G-Mail, Maps, etc. They’re not going to gain any additional information about me from usage of a VPN.
This is probably true for anyone using Google One.
If I had an iPhone or used DuckDuckGo or Firefox was taking other security measures, it’s probably pointless, but I’ve just gone all in on only Google have any of my data.
Since when is it liberal to be opposed to Russia? It’s been a conservative Western policy since the Cold War.
You said “directly responsible,” which means all or most of the blame in a given situation. No one uses American English to claim something is directly responsible but not also majority responsible.
Also, I never even actually said that you claimed the US was solely responsible. I just said Russia was solely responsible, because they chose to invade. If you’re conceding you meant the US is solely responsible though and are walking back that inane argument, understood, but maybe just stop licking Putin’s boot and go read a history book for fucks sake.
Yeah I wonder why, maybe it’s because they are directly responsible for the current war.
Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is responsible for the current war. Stop drinking the commie kool-aid.
You can whine about NATO and geopolitics all you want, at the end of the day Russia could simply have chosen not to invade Ukraine and NATO would not be dumping the entire alliance’s 40 year stockpile into the conflict.
Why do you guys keep talking about Minke whales?
Read the fucking article. They’re hunting fin whales, which are considered Vulnerable.
Which would be great if they were hunting Minke whales, but they’re hunting fin whales, which are endangered.
Whales have been used for a number of resources in the past.
Oil from blubber was a big one, and used in everything from lamps to soap.
Ambergris was a perfume base.
Spermaceti, the substance in the head of sperm whales, was used for candles and also lamps, as it was a higher quality.
But like, he didn’t design or build it himself. His company did.
So by that logic he’s still the same as Musk, who insisted on a mass-market EV car or reusable rockets.
Also, his purchases of alcohol may have made it to an advertiser. He may simply not have noticed he was getting ads until his wife talked to him about drinking too much.
The whole “phones are listening all the time” thing could be true, and wouldn’t surprise me, but to my knowledge no hacker or privacy monitor has ever found evidence that they do. Always just seemed more likely to me that people just expose information without realizing these systems are much more ubiquitous and complex than just microphones illegally listening.
Thinner people are healthier in that they won’t suffer from the same medical issues that plague the obese. A thin person might have high cholesterol, but they’re not going to also have the same increase chance of heart disease an obese person will see. No individual who’s 300lbs is healthy, obesity in and of itself is the disease. The fact thin people suffer from other, non-weight related diseases doesn’t mean there is not point in not maintaining a healthy weight.
Food insecurity is not a solution to the obesity epidemic, but eating a couple hundred calories per day less than maintenance is also not starvation. And ensuring healthy foods and produce are more affordable than unhealthy and high-processed alternatives is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.
Rings are typically found on fingers, which get washed when hands get washed.
You’ll understand when you’re older.
