I beg to differ:

For people who hate being told what to do, they sure love telling people what to do.

If they have it (not all locations do), the chili cheese burrito.

Seeds fall off quickly on public trackers and the people who do long-term seeding on publics tend to end up seeding larger libraries. So you'll often be the one person in the world seeding a large number of torrents. Multiple leeches is only a theoretical help because when it finally seeds out, half the people quit immediately, some hang around to seed to the last leechers, and a couple hang around for a week or two before feeling they've done their due diligence and signing off. Things are quiet on that torrent for a month or so, and then a new leech shows up and the whole thing repeats again. It's why I stopped seeding on publics: it's extremely demoralizing to finally get copies of something out to the dozen or so people who have accumulated, only for every one of them to fuck off right after they finish.

For people who loathe being told what to do, they sure do like telling other people what to do.

If he's the single seed left on a torrent, chances are he's the last seed on a bunch of other torrents as well, and his bandwidth is being choked by everyone who wants his stuff.

Remember, the bathroom had a copier in it - they could be sold infinite times! [Not to mention cellphone cameras.]

TIL "true American patriot" is the legal hiring term for "must be passionate about your job" and "we're all a family here".

Good.

There's been video of this on the internet for a couple weeks now. Any of the vehemently pro-Israel lot want to explain how this isn't a war crime?

And I would like to note that claiming that the other side may have done the same thing does not al give you the right to do this. Also, he's been released by the Israelis, which mean that they see him as a civilian, which definitely makes this a war crime.

Q Mr. President, do you hold Iran responsible for the death of those three Americans?

THE PRESIDENT: I do hold respon- — them responsible in the sense that they’re supplying the weapons to the people who did it.

Cool. Now do Israel.

tl;dr:

Inflation played havoc with cost estimates [...] Pandemic-driven supply-chain challenges and labor shortages [...] Executives of U.S. defense contractors tried to reassure investors they wouldn’t chase projects that presented high risks for cost overruns.

The National Post is literally just repeating what Israeli army spokespeople are saying. Like, almost the entire article is sourced from the Israeli army:

the Israel Defense Forces said ... the IDF statement said ... The IDF said ... the IDF confirmed ... the army said in a statement ...The military’s statement added ...

Also, if you look at the byline, the article was written by

Pesach Benson, Jewish News Syndicate

Media bias / fact check for Jewish News Syndicate:

Overall, We rate the Jewish News Syndicate as Right-Center biased based on its editorial position in support of the Israeli government. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing techniques and the promotion of one-sided propaganda.

Since the article comes from a source with a heavy pro-Israeli bias, and only quotes what the Israeli military is claiming, I would treat it with extreme scepticism.

On the other hand, the CNN article seems much more reliable: they report what the military is claiming; they report the different ways they attempted to independently fact-check what the military is claiming; they note where they were unable to independently fact-check the army and why (usually Israeli army interference); and they note where they were able to successfully fact-check the Israeli army claims, how they proceeded with the fact-check, and what the results of the fact-check were (usually there was no basis for the Israeli claims).

Yeah, no thanks. Media bias / fact check for The Gray Zone:

Overall, we rate The Grayzone Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and consistent one-sided reporting.

other sources have been unable to verify this claim.

For example, CNN certainly doesn't find their costumes credible: Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers. Or if you prefer video: IDF says they destroyed this Gaza graveyard because of Hamas activity. CNN can't find the evidence.

In the meantime: Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers. Or if you prefer video: IDF says they destroyed this Gaza graveyard because of Hamas activity. CNN can't find the evidence.

Hmm, who to believe, who to believe: the genocidal maniacs determined to destroy every trace or hope of Palestinian life in Gaza, or the non-aligned journalists to whom Israel is repeatedly making claims that they refuse to provide evidence for or which are shown to be outright lies - I just can't decide!

It must be nice to just make up numbers and ages and sexes and occupations like that. Makes it real easy to justify genocide.

Inside Penny's vehicle, prosecutors wrote, authorities found a "M4 A1 Carbine 5.56mm assault rifle with scope, 7 rifle magazines containing 5.56mm ammunition, a Ruger handgun, 3 magazines containing 9mm ammunition, a tactical vest, a shield, and 3 knives in sheaths"

I'm sure he has an innocent explanation for all that.

while a search of his residence found "a Glock 9mm handgun, 4 magazines containing 9 mm ammunition, a Smith and Wesson MP-15 rifle, a Walther Pistol Model P22, Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works 12-gauge shotgun, 15 magazines loaded with ammunition, various boxes of ammunition, and Nazi memorabilia."

Wow.

I'm sure he's broke af and (as usual) it'll fall onto the victims to re-make and restore what he broke.

[Yes, I know insurance. But it might not cover arson, or there could be a high deductible, they may not have opted to insure at a value that allows them to rebuild, or whatever. And regardless of the cost, there's the disruption to the community, the time and effort and energy to put the building back together. Fuck this guy.]

Considering that he explicitly said that he moved to Romania because he felt he could operate with impunity there, it's good they're keeping him restricted.
