English desperately needs a 2nd person plural, and unfortunately, imo, the best contender is “y’all”. I’m all ears if any of y’all have something else that serves that purpose unambiguously.

Everything’s been addressed that I can think to add, but I just wanted to say: y’all have got the right mindset and I appreciate you for it. Keep making the world a little bit better however you can.

If some is good, then more is better, right?

“Wat? FR? Free water?”

That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs…

Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It’s attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.

Yeah, and as someone lse mentioned: they often have a Libby service that gets you tonnes of free audiobooks and other digital materials.

It’s very unlikely to happen, but Canada effectively shares a huge border with Russia via the north. It’s not Alaska or bust, and there’s been a decent amount of talk about Arctic security in the last decade or so.

I mean, you’re not wrong - but it’s a technique used every day for super-resolution microscopy.

There’s some surprisingly sci-fi stuff that’s possible with image deconvolution. Not exactly practical, but it is possible to recover some information from a blurry photo.

Not everyone has a dedicated GPU, I would guess. GPUs are good at doing tensor calculations, but they’re not the only way.

I veto you proposal. Moving on. (/s, obviously)

Source?

The article only left me more confused as to why or how that happened…

Ummm. Source?

I seem to be collecting vintage lenses. I stared by getting an adapter for my mirrorless camera and I just fell in love with the lovely character their ‘flaws’ give them.

Literally in the Israeli Times article you linked:

We are both killing the terrorists who participated and killing the terrorists who will want to commit terror in the future,” Halevi told troops and commanders of the 5th Reserve Brigade

This is some Minority Report shit. Israel must have some psychics in their “Precrime” Police devision.

Like, are we all too desensitized to the insane shit being said that this is somehow normal and ok to just be published without comment in a newspaper?

Is the article you linked implying that criticism of Israel is just anti-American propaganda? That the people criticizing Israel just don’t know what they’re talking about?

The article you linked is an article from early November 2023. This article from NPR, published on the same day as the NYT article you linked, talks about Israel invading North Gaza with a force too small to occupy the city. The authors wonder how such a small ground force could be used to hold and control the city.

As it turns out, the IDF had no plans of holding it. They planned to erase it.

It’s something rather uncomplicated if you look at it through the lens of settler colonialism. This is been Noam Chomsky’s project for decades if you’re interested in looking deeper into it. But yes the bad blood and the bad faith arguments run deep.
