You don’t have to be an expert in Israeli politics, the article lays it out for you

Israeli history has taught us that each and every surprise and crisis led to the collapse of the government. That was the case in 1973 [after the Yom Kippur War] with Golda Meir, in 1982 with Menachem Begin in the first Lebanon war, and in 2006, with Ehud Olmert, in the second Lebanon War.

Seems like 9/11 is not a good analogue because Israelis are less tolerant of government security failures than Americans are.

It says further down the article that it was a garmin inreach, Which is a GPS device that can send short messages over the iridium satellite network.

i’m not seeing the part of that article where there’s any evidence at all of health care workers pushing anybody to take MAiD.

Indians really going out of their way to prove that yes, they are stupid enough to believe everything modi tells them

yeah absolutely. it’s a problem, and spacex should be criticised for making their space garbage everybody else’s problem.

i’m just saying framing this as “elon keeps losing” because his company’s system is working exactly as it was designed to is pretty dumb.

Obligatory “fuck Elon”, but starlink launches thousands of these things, with an expectation of losing some of them. This isn’t a problem, it’s how the system is designed.

This is like writing an article about how 45 of a frog’s eggs failed to hatch.

Does the G20 ever deliver results?

It’s good for leaders to get together and talk to each other. But expecting something concrete to come out of this seems silly. That’s not the point. The “declaration” will just be the usual “we agree to work together for the betterment of humanity” or some vague bullshit.

There’s two types of ambassadors: for countries you have tense relationships with, you send the professional diplomats who are really good at negotiating for things without starting wars.

For countries who are friends and you aren’t going to have tough negotiations with them, you send somebody who has good connections to the president. The ambassador gets a cushy job for 4 years that’s basically a reward, and the foreign country gets the message that an ambassadorship there is treated as a reward for the president’s friends, which strengthens the relationship

As long as they’re not killing Ukrainians, then I guess yeah, go do whatever…

Well obviously, we should build more houses. Everybody supports that. We’ll start building as soon as we find a good spot to build them. The only restrictions are:

• development can’t encroach on nature or cause any deforestation, loss of wetlands, or animal habitat
• you can’t encroach on farmland, we need to preserve that
• any building over 40 years old is historic and can’t be torn down or altered
• you can’t change the “character” of any existing neighborhood
• you can’t block the views of any existing houses
• there needs to be at least three parking spots provided for each new unit of housing

you can’t just say something is “objectively bad”. if it’s objectively bad, that means it’s provably bad. so where’s the proof?

as far as i’m aware there’s no science that says LEDs at the brightness typically found on consumer electronics have any negative health benefits. regulations should be based on more than just the opinions of some random guy on lemmy.

i checked out three or four instances and this one seemed to have the least amount of bullshit to deal with

For context, this is the same designation that bacon currently has, amongst a whole bunch of other things we all eat.
