The emissions from ACs for 2 weeks likely isn't close to the emissions from all the construction they did just to host . The whole thing is ridiculous. The corrupt IOC officials watching from box seats and staying in 5 star hotels are all going to have AC.

Life has a carbon impact. Forcing this burden disproportionately on athletes while spectators (not to mention corrupt IOC officials) enjoy hotels with AC is ridiculous.

He can't get that loyalty from any other US president

Literally all evidence points to the opposite of this being true Lol

nova_ad_vitum ,

Pretty sure every US president since Israel was invented has had to check Israel at some point.

Explain why you're sure of this. American support for Israel is constant and extremely well entrenched. Every time the Israel PM shows up to Congress it turns into a contest to see who can suck his dick The most. The administration doesn't matter. American support for Israel ranges from absolute material support with absolute political support, to absolute material support and only lukewarm political support. In both cases material support is unaffected.

Instead, they said Biden has noted, Obama publicly admonished Israel’s actions and voiced concern for Palestinian civilian deaths early into the 2014 conflict. As a result, Biden has argued, Obama squandered any ability to influence the Israeli government as it invaded Gaza, said the people familiar with his comments.

And actual material support was affected how?

Now, I don't want to find something for every president, and I already explained why trump is uniquely unreliable in pretty much every possible way.

You definitely didn't. American support for Israel is so well entrenched that is has actual strategic depth. That includes ensuring that the political path of least resistance is to support Israel absolutely, so Trump does. It's just easiest. All you've done is look at words with no actual action behind them . All material support has remained completely stable.

He should have treated it like an amateur that needs encouragement not a colleague that needs the hard truth.

There is no way of saying "your fundamental method of understanding the world is faulty" in a way that someone won't describe as "douchey".

nova_ad_vitum ,

Sure. Just not while remaining honest and on topic.

nova_ad_vitum ,

Cool. Give us one for Terry here.

nova_ad_vitum ,

Talking about it hypothetically is a cop out.

It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.

By assuming he doesn't know what peer review is (something anyone can google) you have guaranteed that someone will find your response douchey. By not giving a peer review you have also been dismissive.

With only the context of Tyson’s video, I felt it was douchey.

Any honest, relevant response to Terrence Howard would be interpreted by someone as douchey.

I was a teenager when I saw Sato in that crop top. It made me feel things.

nova_ad_vitum ,

Thank you for your wisdom Ms. Tightpussy.

If you don't know much about investing then you shouldn't short anything ever. People who know about investing will tell you that even when your logic is 100 percent sound, the market isn't that predictable and in general the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

He's the Ryan Lochte of whatever it is he does. Except I guess Lochte was good at something.

Well that's less fun than detcord or mission impossible style self-immolating electronics.

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

nova_ad_vitum ,

Grinding a notch into a flathead screwdriver is annoying but it'll still work fine as a flathead even afterwards. I would probably just grind the bulge out of the screw though.

nova_ad_vitum ,

I know what this is and I refuse to be traumatized by it again .

Tim's might as well be a real estate company at this point. All their products are shit but they own prime locations in prime spots in basically all major and minor cities in Canada so they always win on convenience.

Idk about the franchise but it's an excellent movie.

This comment was brought to you by "everything to the left of hunting the homeless for sport is far-left".

What is the point of asking questions you can easily google? Finding answers probably isn't your motivation.

The background of it in video form is basically this: https://youtu.be/thqbjA2DC-E

Due to geopolitics and war, specific airlines may not be allowed (or want to) fly through another countries air space. That's what's happening. Ukraine war made a lot of routes longer and more complicated because a lot of airlines started avoiding Ukraine (due to war) and Russia (due to war but also sanctions, since by internal treaty Russia could collect fees if airlines fly through their airspace).

If Hitler had mustered up just enough wisdom to realize that an invasion of the USSR would be disastrous and managed to contain his hatred of communism just enough to restrain himself from operation Barbarossa, he could likely have held most of Europe and a DDay type landing would have been unlikely to succeed. Nothing short of a nuclear bombardment of Europe would have dislodged them. One of the weirdest darkest historical hypotheticals. It's amazing how much of history hinges on the personal flaws of specific leaders.

Anybody else remember the now-removed Tesla blog post from 2016 arguing that FSD will require LIDAR? Idk why they' (Elon) are so stubborn about it. It can see through fog and darkness . Add that data to their model and they would probably already be near deployment readiness of real FSD.
