  • Damn, maybe palestine should have accepted the two state plan in 1947 instead of trying to eliminate all Israeli Jews at the time.

    Israel accepted it. Palestine started killing civilians. Then got their asses handed to them repeatedly.

  • Palestine wants the extermination of Israel. There’s no just leaving Palestine alone while Israel exists.

    Israel agreed to the UN proposal for a Palestinian state and Israeli state, with Jerusalem being internationally administered.

    Palestine rejected it, and the second the British mandate expired, attacked the Israelis with the help of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq with the goal of exterminating them entirely.

  • It’s literally only Palestine that doesn’t back a two state solution.

    Israel accepted the two state solution originally that gave Palestine all the territory they currently claim, and made Jerusalem an internationally controlled territory not owned by either state.

    Palestine rejected it and started murdering civilians.

  • There is no such thing as “their land” in that portion of the world. The little chunk of land has changed hands, extremely violently, hundreds of times. And Palestine was never a country to begin with. It was part of the Ottoman Empire for a few hundred years before the Brits took it after WWI and ruled it under mandate from the League of Nations.

    The ottomans took it from the Mamluk Sultanate, who took it from the Ayyubid Dynasty, who took it from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, who took it from the Arabs in the first crusade, who took it from the Byzantine empire in the Muslim conquest, who took it from the Roman Empire, who took it from the Greeks, who took it from the Macedonians and Alexander the Great, who took it from the Persian Empire, who took it from the Babylonians, who took it from the Jews under the Kingdom of Judah, who was ruled by the Assyrians as a vassal state. With about 1000 different wars in between those where it changed hands.

    The entire Levant has been conquered, divided up, split apart, conquered again, been part of empires where the entire levant was one region, and changed hands over and over and over again violently. Israel and Palestine have been part of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Arabia over the years.

    There’s no such thing as “giving them back their land”. Because there’s never really been an independent state there to begin with. Everyone that’s ever lived there took it by killing the people that lived there before them.

  • It’s not uncommon in midwestern states that border Canada. I used to get it in Michigan all the time. I’ve also got a burger place by me in Colorado that does a great poutine.

    But really we just don’t have the right kind of cheese in large enough quantity to be nationwide.

  • Probably not because they would need to buy MUCH more land to do it.

    SMRs are so much more compact per MW. The one from NuScale that is approved already can do 924MW in 0.05 square miles. To do the same capacity with wind would take 94 square miles and 17 square miles for solar.

    Buying 17 square miles of land close enough to just one of their data centers would cost billions, on top of the cost of paying for the panels and installation.

    The whole point of them looking at these at all is because they do not want to purchase from the grid.

  • Except you’re not limited to the phones hardware and space constraints with USB. You can put the DAC, you know the thing that does that conversion, in the headphone end now, whereas you couldn’t with 3.5mm because you can push power over USB. Meaning you have the ability to get headphones with a much better DAC, which will provide better audio quality.

    It also frees up space in the phone for more battery, different radios, and other things.

  • That’s got nothing to do with Microsoft though. Their reactor wouldn’t be used to power other people, only their own data centers.

    They currently buy that from the grid, and they don’t really have any control over the source of that electricity generation. We should absolutely be pushing the power generators to go with renewables, but Microsoft isn’t a generator. They’re a customer like you or me.

    They’re looking at moving to small reactors eventually because of the cost of buying from the grid, not for the environment.
