It's just a ship dropping out of warp a safe distance from our system. While inconvenient, it's considered best practice to drop out well away from the system's center to shed the particles you've accumulated in your warp bubble during transit. They are extremely energetic and can cause immense damage if released irresponsibly close to an inhabited planet. This is especially true when visiting a primitive world that hasn't set up any sensible warp safety systems.

The US is just getting ripped off by private contractors and the rest of the military-industrial complex.

[gestures broadly at everything]

Ah I remember this. In 2016 I didn't know what RT was but I really liked their coverage, mostly because NPR and any mainstream American media wouldn't cover Bernie in a positive manner. Got a bit of whiplash in 2017 from that.

This is how it's done in Korea, cameras everywhere and signs telling you where they are. The built-in gps systems in newer cars also have all the camera locations within their maps. It'll warn you by dinging if you're speeding ahead of a camera and give you a happy ding-ding if you pass the camera while driving under the limit. Seems to work fairly well, although it's kind of annoying on their highways as everyone seemingly races to the next camera where they then rapidly slow down, then speed up, again and again and again.

Oh and cops don't pull people over. I never saw it and drove many miles over several different visits.

Here's a reason why he was so pro-Israel, or at least pro-Netanyahu: https://www.thenation.com/article/world/trump-israel-collusion/

And if that isn't enough, here's why the US congress bends over backwards to give Israel whatever it wishes: https://theintercept.com/2023/11/03/deconstructed-israel-aipac-squad-primary/

tl;dl: If a politician says something critical of Israel, pro-Israel lobbying groups will fund their opponents' campaigns

I really think you should stop arguing and start listening.

I think your worries are misplaced. I work for an employee owned cooperative with about 60 employees. I think half of the employees are also owners. There's still a CEO, chosen by the board of directors, who are elected by the employee-owners. Day to day operational decisions are made by whoever is in charge of the relevant department, just like a shareholder-owned corporation. Bigger decisions, like long term strategy or how to distribute profits among employees, are voted on by all of the employee owners instead of shareholders. It's been in business for about 20 years and makes enough money to share profits with all employees regardless of their ownership status. So essentially this business operates like any other, but the profits are shared with the employee-owners and employees instead of going to shareholders or insane CEO salaries (compressed pay structure).

Guess it just malfunctioned and blew up

He was also heard mumbling, Turks know it when they see it

I posted the Al Jazeera video analysis yesterday. The conclusions of both videos don't seem entirely contradictory. I find AP's analysis as credible as Al Jazeera's, although it did look like Al Jazeera was correct when they showed that the missile in question was hit by an Iron Dome missile. Regardless, if that was the case, I wouldn't fault the IDF for shooting down a missile over Gaza that was destined for Israeli territory. Also possible the missile just exploded by itself. Either way, seems so unlikely the warhead survived either incident and very unlucky the warhead fell where it did.

The first and second statements are true, but I'm unconvinced of your conclusion. Even if they are biased, the video analysis appears to be legit.

Dude, that exact missile shown in your video "misfiring" was in the Al Jazeera video. In the latter, they show how that missile was intercepted by an iron dome missle and was very much blown apart. Perhaps by some crazy chance the warhead remained intact and just fell into the hospital parking lot and exploded, which seems very unlikely, although possible. So with this data, I'd bet that whatever exploded at the hospital wasn't a missile or part of a missile. Sooo what was it?

I've been reading their articles for years and haven't noticed false information or any significant bias. Care to explain your position?

Edit 2 (a day later): AP did their own video analysis and came to slightly different conclusions: https://lemmy.world/post/7113210

Tl;dw: Decent video evidence shows that the rocket the IDF claims hit the hospital was in fact intercepted and destroyed by the iron dome missle defense system. Thus it's unlikely the hospital was hit by an errant missle fired by Hamas or other Palestinian groups.

Edit 1: If there was another missile, wouldn't it be seen in the video like the other missiles?

Oh sure just let me call up my buddies in the IDF and Mossad, give me a minute /s

You've finally found the right echo chamber for you!

It's been a very, very long search, lol

Lemmy feels very different to me as well. People seem more mature, skeptical, genuinely left-leaning, interested in discussion, and the moderation isn't totalitarian. Plus Reddit really seemed like it was controlled by moderators with an agenda. I'm not a flagrant asshole (I think), yet I was banned from a few subreddits for not following seemingly arbitrary rules. For example, I was banned from my city's subreddit for making a post asking a question that wasn't directly about the city, it was more about the state's culture/history. I just wanted to know what my neighbors thought. Apparently someone decided that wasn't what the subreddit was for.

Dude, someone could just write the plans after the attack happened so they matched what happened...
