We haven’t even cut off Russia from international trade. Just a few Russian billionaires and specific military goods and oil exports.

An actual embargo would have ended the Ukraine war years ago.

What are the odds anyone will do something meaningful against the US? Almost non existent. No nation is willing to sacrifice the tiniest bit of comfort for the good of humanity.

That is literally the opposite definition to scalable. Scalable things don’t require twice the resources for twice the capacity.

Buy two instead of one is exactly the worst case scalability you can have.

95% of the world grid storage capacity is pumped storage hydro and batteries will literally never be able to compete because water is the cheapest energy storage medium we could possibly have at grid scale. North America was the world leader on PSH in the 1970-2000 but now China is eating our lunch and our governments no longer have the ability to start real infrastructure projects because of crony capitalism.

I can’t believe we’re watching China become the world leader in renewables while we pretend like batteries are a smart way of storing GWhs of power because that’s the most profitable solution to the private sector.

Grid scale batteries are only a solution for transients, if that. Actual energy storage needs to be scalable like pumped storage hydro which accounts for 95% of all storage capacity worldwide.

Not without a second impulse at the minimum. There are no stabilising forces like friction or drag in space.

Orbits are elipses, which are loops. So after the explosion gives an object more energy it’s in a new orbit right? That orbit has LOOP. Which means it has to come back to a similar point it’s at now. Therefore if an object passes through low orbit, no one explosion can make it be in a high orbit. At best it’ll be an ellipse with a point in high orbit and a point in low orbit.

Any amount in low orbit means a decaying orbit due to drag with eventual falling out of the sky.

If you get to the high orbit point and you get a SECOND explosion that’s perfectly timed you could theoretically enter a new high orbit that’s stable over the long term and contribute to Kessler syndrome.

Oh yes, in front of the security Council where the US will just veto the idea of punishing Israel for its crimes against humanity.

No, the only hope we have now to stop Israel is somehow Iran closing the straight until Israel stops invading Lebanon. What a horrible world we live in where Iran has somehow become a better force for good than the west, especially when they’re a heinous tyrannical regime.

But China isn’t spending trillions on their AI…

Why do we need to spend trillions to stay ahead of someone who is only spending billions? Might be worth looking into whatever leak in the system is extracting so much money we need to spend 1000x what our competitors are spending just to keep up. We could start by looking at people who have hundreds of billions of dollars at the heads of the AI companies, looks like a few hundred billions might have slipped into their wallets by accident. I’m sure they’ll be happy to give it back to the people.

Israel is trying to figure out what victims snitched so they can kill them and their families. They’re not stupid enough to think they could win money, they just want discovery so they can teach those Palestinians a lesson for speaking to the media.

This is a total disaster, like 2 days ago… I guess we’re going right back to the first map.

My guy is seriously claiming people come to Coachella for “quiet enjoyment”

Those loud uncultured Arabs simply don’t understand that in North America everyone is quiet during outdoor concerts, pausing only for a respectful golf clap between songs!

The UK already has laws that cover all the crimes you described. We don’t need to add a label of “terrorist” which takes every crime and scales the sentence an order of magnitude. Especially when it’s added secretly and the jury doesn’t even know what they’re finding them guilty of. Especially when they’re not even allowed to describe the reason for their actions to the jury.

This is a sham court!

You can see the satellites. Pretty much all satellite orbits are public due to the nature of satellites being in space where we can all see them. When a country’s military satellites pass over a specific location multiple times then that location gets precision bombed everyone knows exactly what happened.

The American Israeli coalition directly and intentionally destroyed a desalination plant in Iran. Barhain’s desalination plant was damaged by debris from a drone strike on another target. Those are very different statements and very different levels of destruction.

But yes, they’re soft targets if the people attacking you are complete degenerates willing to commit way crimes!

It’s not “taking down” the elite in Europe though. Frankly losing your job is a completely inadequate punishment for raping and torturing kids.

But from the point of view of “at least they’re getting SOMETHING”, it’s better than nothing.

No war but the class war. Every fight is the good fight in the class war.

Yeah our “Liberal” PM was asked by the conservative government 13 years ago to be the finance minister. The Overton window is completely fucked up, we have neofascism on one side and the opposite side is neoliberals who are okay with neofacism as long as it keeps the progressives away from taxing the rich and regulating multinationals. Any suggestion that the systemic problems destroying society should be addressed with structural solutions, or even that genocide and ethnic cleansing are bad, has now become tantamount to terrorism.

Neoliberals literally can’t understand basic social and material facts. You could tell them all day that arresting a thousand grannies will concretely demonstrate the newly passed law is bullshit creating the pressure to fix it. And they’ll respond “well if they named themselves something else they could have protested without being arrested” until their last breath.

Neoliberals literally CAN’T think of the common good because they think there shouldn’t be commons, only individuals, families, and private property. They also don’t think there can be good, only profitable and legal matter, in that order.

A person who thought that it’s more important to write “I support Palestine action” … on a paper than “I support Palestine”.

Ahhh, the worst kind of crime, adding the word “action” to an otherwise acceptable protest sign. His kids will be proud of him! He helped stop hundreds of the worst criminal scum today and really kept the streets of London safe!

ACAB

Even in the West with progressive gender roles and access to birth control, 37% of children are unintended. You’re really going to sit here and ask “why did this woman sit down and decide to intentionally try for a baby during the war?” As if you can’t think of any other possibilities?

Should we really stop caring for children if they’re not planned? Should we judge people for accidentally or intentionally having a baby in a situation we have never experienced? Maybe everyone should ask you before having sex so that you can bestow your wisdom on them. Then finally everyone can have your mature, complete understanding of human reproduction. That way they can all make the same great choices you do!

Weak sauce.

Yes, you’re right. Taken completely out of context you just asked if there were many non-Jews in Israel. Absolutely. What does the context matter anyways? We should treat everything as an independent unrelated statement!
