I must once again post The Night Watch [PDF]

So, are they going back to opposing the invasion of Rafah, then?

You know, seeing as how Israel just got concessions for promising not to do a thing, then immediately went and did the thing regardless.

Or does Biden just have a humilation fetish? Which fine, no kink-shaming here but maybe keep it in the bedroom.

I have to admit, the phrase 'lifestyle democrat' has a nice ring to it...

Why isn't it Biden's job to think pragmatically?

Fair, but I'm still curious where the glitchup is occurring...

"Hey, if that guy wins, he's going to rob everyone then set fire to their grandmother. That means we can simply do nothing and it's a shoe-in!"

"Au contraire, mon frere. That means so long as we don't set fire to people's grandmothers, not only do we get to rob everyone, but they'll thank us for doing it, and we will own them."

Yeah no. We'll take the L just to see you get robbed too, and the smoke from your burning grandmothers will be as incense in our nostrils.

If the motherfucker thinks people will give him a pass on genocide as tribute for saving the country from trump, he's going to get a brutal fucking lesson in petty spite.

Solidly genX, always fucking hated scrabble powergamers boiling the fun out of everything.

The way you make classic scrabble awesome is by adding just one rule: you must play the funniest word you can make, regardless of score. If players do not agree which word is funnier, they must argue about it.

This actually leads to some interesting strategy, for instance if you're left with two Os in your hand, you're very likely going to have to play POO next turn, and that's only 3 points. And you can set traps, too.

Yes, and that's not the question I'm asking.

I'm asking whether they could sustain forward thrust in a standing position, and without actually taking off.

If you turn a sausage machine backwards, you don't get a pig coming out the top.

If I add a dozen numbers together, there's only one total.

But if I only have that total, there's no way to tell what the original dozen numbers were.

Same kind of principle.

You can brute-force it, but when it comes to the product of stupendously large primes, it would take until the heat death of the universe to do so, by which time you probably don't care any more.

Yea, but I was talking about taxiing like a plane on the runway.

Let's assume we size the board to fit the bird :)

First I've heard of it, but now I kinda want to.

Maybe stop helping slaughter Palestinians, then you wouldn't have this problem.

I fucking love my AfterShokz, despite the awful name.

I got them to use while out walking, so I can still hear traffic and other hazards. The sound quality is perfectly fine (I am no audiophile), though with precisely 0 isolation, your experience will depend entirely on the environment you're in - that being the whole point. If you're walking down the highway, traffic noise is going to eat everything but the beat, and that's on loud.

No discomfort, they're stable enough mechanically (I'm a walker, not a runner), I kind of wish the band were a little tighter but that's very minor.

There is a little too much space for me at the back actually; I can't wear them lying down as it just pushes them off.

Battery life is... not an issue, I've had them a year or maybe two I can't remember, they're good.

I suspect my use-case is not your use-case though, so ymmv.

I've seen Israeli protests about not getting the hostages back. I haven't seen any about the genocide.

I'm happy for the region to exist.

The state, not so much.

The experiment was a failure, give the land back to Palestine.

Maybe the Israelis can go to Egypt and demand their old jobs back.

Halt transfers until the investigation is completed.

Israel's own investigation, that is.

And starting back up again doesn't even depend on the outcome.

Israel.

One year younger than however old I'll be when I die.
