No.

It's cheaper to out source it this way because as their farmers are contractors they don't have to adhere to the legal responsibilities they would if they ran them in their own.

They can keep their contracted farmers in debt to them indefinitely and essentially have a class of indentured servants.

It's Louisiana, they would go back to 1800 if they could.

Don't tell this guy about how often Congress devolved into fist fights, cane beatings and duels during our countries early years.

Nah, it was fine.

Same thing applies to humanitarian aid.

If Hamas has hijacked or is operating in those places then they become military targets.

As far as white phosphorus, it depends on how it's deployed. If it's deployed for masking, tracing or identifying then it's legal.

If it's being directly used as an incendiary then that's illegal.

As far as international law goes no this is not a war crime.

If your military takes refuge or uses a civilian center for military operation then that location becomes a valid military target regardless of the risk to civilian lives.

Basically Hamas is commiting the crime by purposefully setting up in these areas. Once they do that then civilian death is acceptable collateral damage, legally speaking.

While the tone of this post is mocking, it's a very real thing that having the social skills to match someone else's vibe during an interview can help tremendously with helping the interviewer see you as someone who can fit with the company culture.

I see people who struggle with getting jobs often are lacking in those sort of soft social skills.

Can't, really. Have several critical Windows only apps.

It's a chicken and egg situation.

It's frustrating because I don't know it, and I don't learn it because it's frustrating.

Generally deploying some kind of service.

It's things like this that prevent me from using Linux more.

I force myself to use it for projects where it's an option because I feel I need to learn it better but I kind of dread it every time.

Inevitably I'm stuck frustrated reading conflicting guides from years ago and wondering just how badly I'm going to fuck things up this time.

Sometimes it all feels so esoteric.

Thanks, I deleted my comment

Something like that, yes.

And my guess would be Marcy being Polaski

No, what Israel is doing makes sense from a strictly selfish point of view.

The question of 'Why doesn't Israel integrate the Palestinians?' is a good one. The answer is numbers.

Israel was founded as a Jewish ethnostate. Those who have immigrated there have done so because they wanted to live in a Jewish ethnostate. So one of the core values of the country is that it is primarily a place for Jews.

If Israel absorbed the populations of Gaza and the West Bank into Israel, the Jewish population would become a minority in Israel if not immediately then within a generation.

I don't agree with the idea of ethnostates in general and I do believe establishing Israel as one was a mistake.

... But if you imagine the viewpoint of someone who does want a Jewish ethnostate like so many in Israel you can see why this solution is a non starter.

The legislature can and will find ways to neuter the amendment.

They did it here in Florida when we voted to restore the rights of felons after their punishment was complete.

The legislature ruled that the felons had to pay back all outstanding fees before they could get their rights back. Felons get changed by the jail for their stay, so most leave with 100s of thousands in debt on the books.

Then the state purposely makes it impossible for felons to even find out how much they owe, meaning even if they were to somehow get the money paying is very difficult.

It has effectively prevented any felons from getting their voting rights back. I think the actual number who have is less than 10 and we passed that amendment in 2020.

I've gone to playing Project 1999, an OG EverQuest emulator server.

It's only up to velious and it's as close to how the game was back then as you can get.

I don't recommend it to people who never played EQ back in the day - games have changed far too much for this ancient game to be fun for most people who don't have nostalgia for that era of gaming.

But sounds like you might, so I thought I'd suggest it to you.

My gas hot water heater does not have an electric start.

That's not how it works were I live.

There are no pumps involved. Fresh water pipes are under pressure from the city water distribution system. Sewage pipes drain via gravity.

There is never a reason to 'pump' sewage because the city sewage lines are below any sewage lines in my house.
