I saw one "in the wild" parked on in the street in Chevy Chase MD. It looked weirdly small.

I also think you're misreading this topic content

The author is saying more people should be talking about Gaza, specifically people in the housing space.

They are going further and saying that if you are not talking about it, you are complicit in the destruction.

But isn't it a huge pain for the couple if you actually did show up at a wedding with a coffee maker, toaster, pots, glassware, etc.? They'd have to somehow get all that home.

Doesn't it automatically ship to the registry owner?

There's a big continuous protest outside the Israeli embassy. They have lots of signs and flags and are requesting that drivers honk to show support. Oh, and that one guy lit himself on fire.

That's a superscript 0.

I stand corrected. I never noticed that! But looking at the other numbers, it's obviously true.

This legitimately might be the biggest event in emulation ever, to the point it's not even emulation anymore lol. Imagine if we got a tool like this for PS1, Dreamcast, GameCube, etc

Correct: The claimed output is a ported game, not an emulated game. But "port" is being used here in its technical sense, not the casual gaming definition.

Why are people putting early PCs (C64, Spectrum, etc.) on a console list? If we are going to do that, then the list has to be much longer and renamed.

Not when all of our devices/charge cords/etc. are regular USB and then you need to buy fucking adapters for everything

You would have had to buy new cables for USB 3 super-speed or fast charging support, anyway. ...which does bring up another issue, which is that it's really terrible that you can't tell USB cable compatibility without test equipment.

On Android Gboard you can hold down zero.

why the hell would he admit that while he's running for fucking president??

Duh, because a worm ate his brain. It's now the universal excuse for everything he says or does.

I recall animated wallpapers draining my battery, but maybe things have improved.

I'm sure some kinds of rock are more sensitive than others.

Dewey devised a taxonomy AND a hashing function, that turned bookshelves into dynamic data structures. That happened when Grant was president. It may be obsolete now, but it was pretty innovative at the time.

Now that radios and helicopters were invented, I don't think high speed chases are necessary. Although, they are pretty cool.

It's a shame there's no such thing as putting smaller signs below the big one that says history.

Right, so each Dewey Decimal classification could be a sign. But the list of signs is about 4000 pages long ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/1556532717 ) . Maybe it would be more compact to just use a short number that we could fit on the spine of each book? Then you could simply look up the number by the subject you are interested in (in some sort of catalog of cards?).

Because having a "boy" suffix feels great!

Genocide is terrible, but far-away things are simply not that important to most people. Certainly not enough to be a swing issue.

Consider that a student driver may not be driving the denoted car at all times.

I'm the same, I look back on all the SS I paid in and think how much MORE money I'd have been able to invest with, if I didn't have to pay into that shit

If SS is intended to be a safety net, it does not make sense to transfer risk to those who are least qualified to assess the risk. You'd have people losing their savings in beanie baby futures, and then we'd have to pay more welfare to keep them from littering the streets.

There is also the fact that all of those ethnostates combined can't win a fight against the US and the rest of Israel's western enablers. Like zero chance. Direct intervention only leads to their own destruction.

That's a really good point. For so long, the (mostly racist) explanation was that Arabs suck at war. But since Ukraine, we now know that it was actually Russian weapons that sucked.

1337toothbrush posted...

and this bullshit explanation is why you think israel is justified in its campaign of genocide?

Okay, so that's the opposite of what I said. Great.

1337toothbrush posted...

You talk about them as if no one knows who they are. It's irrelevant to your original point where you claim that the countries don't care about the Palestinians. Hell, that point itself is irrelevant in the face of israel committing genocide. Seems like you're just trying to find an excuse for it.

It is extremely relevant, because it explains why Israel, surrounded by Arab countries, can get away with brutalizing the Palestinians for decades. The Arabs kept Palestinians in refugee camps as a bargaining chip, got the UN to literally change the definition of refugee to support their efforts, lost a few wars, and then decided maybe it would be better if everybody (except Palestinians) made money instead. That's not excusing for Israel; that's an explanation for why the larger ethnostates in the region allow it to happen. They simply don't care.

The governments playing politics do not believe, nor want the same outcomes as the people of those countries.

If I recall, the Arab Spring failed? Or is that a simplification? Either way, we're talking about are countries that tend not to give their people much say in anything.

Well, there's Iran, but half the reason the Oct 7 attack happened is likely Iran getting really uncomfortable with the entire rest of the middle east getting on friendly terms with Israel in the first place. On the surface this is somewhat about Islam vs Judaism, but behind the scenes there's also a serious Shia/Sunni divide at work.

Iran (and Yemen and Syria) don't so much support the Palestinians as much as they really hate Israel. If they could sacrifice the Palestinians to destroy Israel, they would not hesitate. In fact, maybe that's why they like Hamas so much...

Raiden2909 posted...

and honestly even if they kick out or kill every Palestinian it would just radicalize every sympathetic country in the region and world wide, Just like with the U.S and its "war on terror" you can't just kill your way out of this

A big part of the problem is that there are exactly zero "sympathetic countries in the region". The story of the Palestinians is the story of being abandoned by the other Arab tribes/countries/sub-ethnicities/etc.

I think Hamas just wanted the college protests to stop.

I wonder what they are using as the country list? There's no really good standard.

It's Rittenhouse Square. Not intended to be your sole home or lived in year-round.

Just retype it, surely it's not even two pages. Do it in Google Docs and you'll never lose it, can easily share it, and you can save it as PDF whenever you like.

Mayo is only good when it can't be tasted, which should tell you something.

No. My in-laws are all .ph and none of them eat it, either.

I mean. The last name is also the "real name", a family name. It seems more intrusive to me

You are thinking of the modern implications of knowing somebody's full name. The tradition in question is much older, from when everybody knew everybody anyway, at least by reputation, and using a family name was a way to be more indirect or general, creating the perception of distance. Especially if we think about back when surnames were mostly either careers or lineage descriptors.

Title plus last name is more polite because it is more indirect. You are not presuming that you are close enough to use their "real" name.

Meanwhile, my wife hates casually using just last name (no title) for close friends. She thinks it sounds prep school, especially for women.

Significant retirement/529 contributions and mortgage interest, along with donations, can also make it worth itemizing. That's how it works out for us.

Donating clothing adds up quickly.

I always had to do at least one sport until I was old enough to be on at least one school team. Once I got really into computers, I had to do outdoor day camps to "stay balanced". In upper school I had to either work or do something academic outside of school. Even though I would have preferred to sit around, all of the above were for the best, and I plan to do similar for my kid.

Edit: I was also forced to take an instrument of my choice, but I sucked so bad at it they they finally let me quit.

Northrop Grumman or I'm not comin'

De Havilland Canada or stay on land Canada.

It's as if you never made that money.

1. Assume your monthly paycheck withholdings are exactly right, and therefore you would normally owe nothing and get no refund at tax time.
2. If you donated $5,000, then from the government's point of view, you have paid taxes on 5k that you effectively never made (and they don't know that).
3. So now you will get a refund on the taxes that you would have paid on that $5k.
4. You will not get a $5k refund. You get a much smaller fraction back. The exact amount depends on how much income taxes you would have normally paid on that $5k.

The intent is to not penalize people for donating, not to save them money.

It's Mercedes drivers, especially non-sport models. I assume turn signals are a prohibitively expensive option.
