Yes, which the article does not say they’ve failed to do. In fact, the article says that the videos submitted as evidence seem to support its legal use not in Gaza, but near Lebanon, and that Human Rights Watch submitted no videos at all showing white phosphorus in Gaza.

The videos attached to the claim show it being used for smokescreens, which Reuters comments is legal.

Perhaps not the whole world, but I’m many/most countries, the larger structures, like government and business, absolutely are anti-intellectual. Nice to have an academic friend group, but that doesn’t change the fact that capitalism makes education less accessible in order to rely on an undereducated workforce, and then politicians push it even further for the sake of easy control.

Yeah, talking about the much more common types you see people using more often in cities. Also why I didn’t say 25% faster than the highest end ones

25% faster than a quick electric scooter

I use a chamois cloth, seems to pick up oil/smudges even better that microfiber and need less washing. Also super easy to wash when it does need it. I basically just cut a dollar bill sized section off a natural off-brand sham-wow and it works better than anything else I’ve used

parts A-D Rock

Yeah that seems bad lol. I feel like there has to be an option in between $200(creami) and $7000(pacojet) that can avoid chunks of plastic though

Why? Not challenging, just wondering what the pacojet does that other machines can’t

You don’t even know my real name

My brain would always just give me the shape I need to clear the line

True if sealed, I meant the type of kool-ade you mix yourself, which gets gross after not very long. With this wrapped in paper, I’m doubting it’s air tight.

A product intended to be sold that way. Steak and slim jims are both beef (in theory), but I wouldn’t recommend storing them the same way…

I’m far from guaranteeing that the popsicle from the picture would make you sick, I’m just saying I wouldn’t trust it with no telling how long it sat around melted before refreezing, and almost definitely not something processed for that type of storage.

No. Candy is heated to extremely high temperatures while processing and has a low water content, which are very important for its sterilization and entirely different from something like this. And candy still goes bad if you wait long enough… Candy is more equivalent to something like fruit preserves/jelly, which use heat and sugar to sterilize and preserve, yet which still have to be refrigerated to maximize shelf-life/minimize contamination. So you’re right that sugar can be used to preserve, but only by following a very different process.

Being wrapped in plastic has absolutely no effect on it. The bacteria likely to colonize are already in there, but keeping it frozen keeps them from multiplying, unless it melts. And many such colonies (botulism, for example) thrive in hypoxic environments, so being wrapped can actually make it worse. And corn syrup or any other substitute is just as bad as sugar.

So you’d drink weeks-old kool-ade if it hadn’t been refrigerated? Water and sugar is an ideal breeding ground and food source for a vast number of different bacteria.

That’s super open minded and uncommonly positive, and makes me think I didn’t necessarily come to this thread with the most constructive tone myself. I’ll think more about how I voice feedback as well online for this.

You gotta read the room and understand the context. Someone brings up a thought/question casually on lemmy, it’s gonna make you sound super self-impressed and generally naive to respond as though you’re the one who (or anyone at all) is going to get that thread to a global solution for an incredibly difficult issue that people are already working on. Everyone is just spitballing for fun and curious if any novel thoughts will get tossed around in a thread, so when you reapond to someone highlighting an issue by saying “okay, so what’s the solution” as though people aren’t already thinking of that or wouldn’t have included it in the comment if there was one, it isn’t productive, it ignores the intention of the comment, and it makes you sound like the crappy boss in a bad movie. What is expected? Someone to say, “The solution? I hadn’t thought about that! The whole thing is cracked! Invaluable contribution!” In the end, there’s just a huge difference between saying something like “That’s interesting, I wonder what the biggest obstacles are” and “Okay, I approve of your thoughts, and I know thats important to everyone, but they are incomplete, which you likely didn’t notice. Let me help you with the next step by asking, what’s the next step, which, beside offering great insight, is surely the type of conversation you were looking for in this thread.”

Okay, so your potential contribution is to phrase your questions and responses in the most patronizing possible way, as though we’re in a boardroom with you at the head of the mahogany table, and pretend that much smarter people aren’t already working on this and coming to more complex, detailed obstacles and solutions. I don’t like the idea. As for logistics, I am trying to think about if there is a way to solve a complex issue that has vexed generations and touches nearly every global industry, in a lemmy thread based on a showerthought.

No way, never. That’s just not who I am.

A “little bit” doesn’t begin to cover it…
