USA was the first democracy in the world,

Off by a few thousand years there bud. Even if you want to limit it to "modern" democracies, Britain has the US beat by a hundred years.

What decision is this? I've not been paying attention to Supreme Court doings lately.

You still believe this genocide in Gaza has anything to do with hostages?

I never even implied that I believe that. In fact, I've said nothing about my feelings on the overall conflict.

All I've said is that I don't see why Hamas doesn't return them (independent of whatever the Israeli government is doing) and take the easy PR win. The hostages are one of the main things that tempering international and internal pressure on the Israeli government.

Except it's accomplished none of that. If anything, keeping the hostages reduces any anti-Netanyahu sentiment, as some people will view it as continued justification for the current war.

I don't understand why Hamas doesn't just let them go. Israel has already shown that there's nothing to be gained from keeping the hostages. The international PR win alone would be worth releasing them at this point.

At first I thought someone stole multiple NHL Stanley cups of which there is one.

There's actually two.

Aka one of the semitic religions.

I could see that being useful. Would be nice for barbecuing in bad weather. Keep an eye on temps without having to go brave the elements unnecessarily.

That would probably depend on case, motherboard, and which (if any) pcie slots are occupied.

My tin-foil-hat theory is that the cruelty is the point, and their long term goal is to make being a Democrat president such a miserable experience that no one even remotely competent wants anything to do with the job.

innocent kids getting caught up in stupid adult stuff.

This describes what happens in pretty much every conflict ever.

Why limit yourself like that? Just say "All languages". Depending on how liberally you interpret the word "language", you know know just about everything.

It's probably got a lot to do with the market being relatively new. I imagine things will settle down in the coming years as producers gain real data to base demand estimates off of.

Also, I think initially some people were conflating support for legalization with actual demand. There are many people that support legalization who don't actually use the product.

Is there something inherently safer with how rust does things, or is it just a case of it being new, so the vulnerabilities haven't been found yet?

Ok, I'm out of the loop and I've seen this often enough that I have to ask; why do people always bring up "written in rust"? No one points out that a given project is written in C++/C#/python/ruby etc, yet we keep seeing it for rust.

There is zero chance that those itty bitty hands are that strong.

Are "associates" and "customers" considered synonyms in legalese? If not, this list may not be as juicy as people think.

Sweaty power walking.

"Aged like milk" can mean anything from "so awful it's literally illegal" to "so good people will pay unreasonable amounts of money".
