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.
Those countries can’t swing Florida election results
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!
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.
The radioactive component is mostly tritium. As long as they get almost all of the heavy radioactive elements, the hydrogen isotopes are basically harmless in the quantities we’re talking about here. The ocean is a very, very big place.
Competency tests for everyone!
“These are librul questions! The test is BIASED! The hollowcost is a lie! Ain’t no Jews get killed in WWII!”
I think you know what he meant, or are you claiming that the “someone” was part of a secret US military program and died in action?
Beyond just trying to maintain a reaction, we’ll need a design that allows for the extraction of working energy. At present, all designs require tons of additional energy to keep them cool. We’re very far from any design that is power positive in a real sense. Any time you ask one of the fusion fanboys about this there’s a lot of hand waving, but I’ve never seen any actual proposals to extract working heat from the reactor. Any designs that require supercooling are especially problematic. It’s really difficult to extract heat capable of turning a turbine through the supercooled magnetic containment.
Fusion will happen, but not before a whole lot more money and time (in decades) disappears into the money pit.
When websites start blocking clients that don’t implement the wei handshake, you’ll be forced to use one that does if you want to visit those sites. Firefox will either adopt it or become a second rate browser.
Ah, but this is on a different scale than in countries without a free press. The press in the US is free to ignore the government’s information or to run a counter message. This happens every hour of every day.
Where? What media outlet? Give a specific example.
Show me an example of US state authored or propagated propaganda. How many people does the US have that are employed by the state to manipulate public opinion online?
The PS1 lacked a Z-Buffer to do sorting correctly, so I’m going to say this is PS2 graphics, but otherwise on point.
