“This complicates our plans for a land bridge to Kaliningrad!”

You’ll notice that the report doesn’t estimate whether they died before or after Israel’s incursion.

Ain’t no party like a 50 cent party 'cuz a 50 cent party don’t stop.

China is having massive economic problems currently. Who is OP trying to convince otherwise? Ignore the cape. Watch the bullfighter.

Uh, have you seen the Chinese economy recently?

For anyone who’s been following along, Russia should have been able to take Avdivka over a year ago. For it to have taken this long really says everything. If this is a “turning point” in the war, there is still quite a lot of room for optimism.

I feel like we’re getting hung up on the definition of genocide. It is reasonable to believe that what is happening in Gaza does not fall under the definition. That doesn’t make it any less horrible. People are having a semantic argument while others perish.

Yes, the vague equivalent would be for the Native Americans to reclaim the United States via superior force ~1800 years from now.

It would put Israel “on the back foot” in regards to the conflict. Israel would be tied up negotiating for hostage release which is exactly where Hamas wants them. It stops being a question of who is winning a battle and turns it into “how much is Israel willing to sacrifice”.

“European settlers” in the sense that they hadn’t been in Israel since the Romans kicked them out in '65 for causing too much trouble with all their messiahs and religious zealotry.

There’s a whole conspiracy regarding Covid that RFK Jr. is blathering about. Supposedly this data breach targeted Jews and Chinese folks. I’m assuming that it’s related in some way, but it’s not clear how.

You’ll get no disagreement from me!

Yes, and in reality. When you charge more per item for goods and services so that healthcare is included, they cost more.

They settle out all of the heavier radioactive elements. They then dilute the remaining heavy water with additional water to drive the level of tritium to an acceptable level. It is then dumped into the ocean and rapidly mixes with the surrounding seawater. If you were to look at a map of ocean currents you’d see generally where it would go from there, but it doesn’t really matter because tritium isn’t really a significant concern. If they were dumping significant quantities of cobalt 60 you should care more, but they aren’t, so you shouldn’t.

The radioactive component is mostly tritium. As long as they get almost all of the heavy radioactive elements, the hydrogen isotopes are basically harmless in the quantities we’re talking about here. The ocean is a very, very big place.

No, you’d leave the store having paid $120 for groceries with no wellness fee tacked on.

The alternative is that they just jack up the menu prices to accomplish the same thing. This is just the equivalent of pricing things at $19.99 because people don’t understand that really means $20 which sounds like a lot more money.
