  • FWIW, these are effective only when both are used on the same circuit. If you live in an older home, the chances of this being the case are higher.

    My entire apartment, except for the washroom, is on the same circuit. It also means I can't run an air conditioner without tripping the breaker. :|

  • What a nothing burger of an article. I'm so ashamed to be Canadian amidst our government's abject failure (really, it's a refusal) to rescue Palestinians through the asylum program that was proposed months ago.

    We are beholden to Israel, so I will be astonished if even 1/3 of the 45,000 actually end up here.

  • I use Cockpit to manage my system and containers and Dashy as a browser dashboard. It's similar to Heimdall but more minimal.

    I also run Otterwiki and I'm planning on documenting my setup, but I haven't got around to it yet.

  • I'm not suggesting that this is the sole reason, but have you considered the possibility that the US supports Israel in part because it is a white-majority nation of largely European ancestry among Arab states? Especially considering the circumstances that led to its creation. I am more and more convinced lately that this plays a part, though it may be small.

    However, what you mention is clearly happening too. It's likely a variety of factors, but I would agree that money is a big motivator. AIPAC is certainly able to achieve a high level of autonomy, so that would point to it having tacit endorsement/approval from the US political establishment and that's more than likely from legalized bribes.

  • That's a very fair and reasonable analysis. I just think that Biden actually believes in Zionism and fundamentally agrees that Israel should exist and "defend itself" (i.e., commit genocide). He isn't just playing politics like Reagan. That's why he does things that don't seem to make logical sense.

    There's obviously something going on behind the scenes though, I agree. There's probably a lot of money being paid so politicians on both sides sit on their hands, among other things. Here in Canada, Israel lobbies aggressively, pays for our representatives to take trips there, etc.

    But I do think Joe Biden is an earnest Zionist himself.

  • Biden has been a Zionist advocate for 40+ years. He probably believes that supporting Israel gives the US a stronghold in the middle east, and he's probably right.

    Israel is a proxy state for the "war on terror" so that the area's resources can be extracted by western powers with little organized resistance. It's textbook imperialism.

  • I didn't realize that being party to a civil suit meant being indefinitely detained in a foreign country. /s

    Surely you wouldn't expect the US to allow civilian sailors from a domestic ship to be detained in another country with no timeline for repatriation. There would be something done.

    Many people have no trouble attending virtual depositions or flying to attend trial. Indefinite detention (again, for a civil suit) is a pretty big ask just so some insurance/city investigators and lawyers can have in-person access.
