I mean I drive a Prius Prime and I love it. I'm surprised they're not pushing harder on PHEVs. I just put 900km onto the darn thing on a road trip - a few evening charging sessions (the motel had a charging station across the street) for like $3 total plus $35CAD of gas for the whole trip.
Imho, the problem is that North American roads are not safe for small vehicles. If you're a suburbanite who spends an hour in your car every day on expressways full of trucks and SUVs, you don't generally want to be in a slow, tiny, short, vulnerable vehicle where you're beneath the consideration and sightline and possibly wheels of traffic.
said on Wednesday the Palestinian militant group Hamas was not a terrorist organisation but a liberation group fighting to protect Palestinian lands and people.
Does the UN or some other more neutral org have numbers? I mean, the Gaza Ministry of Health kinda has incentive to exaggerate civilian casualties, just like the IDF has incentive to say "everyone in that playground we hit with that airstrike was an Islamic Jihad Terrorist".
I keep my phone in my back pocket. I wear a shoulder bag. Sometimes when I'm walking start hearing dialing noises as my shoulder bag bonks against my butt. I pull out the phone and find it at the emergency dialer.
HP practically invented the concept of "destroy the brand name of your high end professional equipment with the worst consumer garbage ever." Their inkjets are infamous
They were early pioneers in the art of enshittification.
I just want phones that are shorter. They keep getting longer, which means more risk of breaking, and means the keyboard is unusable in landscape since it blocks the textfield.
Okay, I'm willing to believe that Israel had a contingency plan ready to exploit the political leeway created if they were hit by a terrible attack. Like "if they kill a bunch of Israelis, this is our shopping-list of objectives to gain ground and kill targets in a time when the world can't criticize us". I would believe there are people in the Israeli military who are amoral enough to do that.
However, believing they looked the other way when they knew about an impending attack strains credulity.
And if you're believing they were active participants in orchestrating an attack on their own people? That means you need your tinfoil hat loosened.
The asymmetry of power is so severe that Israel could flatten every building in Gaza and butcher every person there in a single day if they really wanted to. Yes, Israel does horrible things to Palestinians, but if you're going to start from "Israel wants to kill Palestinians", you kinda have to explain why they don't do it even more than they already do.
Actually that would be quite new, since most of their land-grabbing actions have been in the West Bank, both the rural settlement communities and urban areas around Jerusalem. The Gaza Strip borders have been consistent for a very long time.
But yes, their current approach of levelling buildings and commanding Palestinians to evacuate does lead me to think they might try that in Gaza.
