People have been trying to make modular housing work for awhile, with limited success. For various reasons, it’s a lot more challenging than it seems like it should be. One of the problems is that the US doesn’t really have a single national regulatory regime for building codes, they are mostly local and regional. You can’t really design a house that works everywhere so the economics are a lot different than selling something like a car or a washing machine.
Yes, I’ve encountered a few people like this. Also, no one has ever heard of Archaea.
It has happened before, there’s already a variety of sanctions on China.
I only turn WiFi on when I specifically need it so its usually multiple days between charges. If its just running an e-reader app it lasts a very long time.
I have one, it’s been a great device but the battery drains faster than I’d like when WiFi is enabled. I mostly use it for reading in bed and its been perfect for that.
Kind of the opposite of a lynch mob since they were trying to free the 9 IDF soldiers arrested for raping and torturing prisoners instead of attempting to punish them. I would call this more an attempted prison break, or possibly even a sort of coup against the rule of law by elements of the Israeli government, if its true those ministers were involved.
He also got caught secretly funding a racist trolling group to spread hate and harass people.
The Economist does not typically list individual authors on their articles.
Wow, from the article you linked here’s one of them plotting to wield a fascist mob against a journalist just like a proper villain, in case there were any doubts:
“If things get hot, it may be interesting to sic the Dark Enlightenment audience on a single vulnerable hostile reporter to dox them and turn them inside out with hostile reporting sent to *their* advertisers/friends/contacts,” Mr. Srinivasan said in an email viewed by The New York Times, using a term, “Dark Enlightenment,” that was synonymous with the neoreactionary movement.
Y Combinator seems like a nexus of creepy and unhinged techbros, I’m not surprised they have a CEO who wields antisemitic conspiracy theories against his critics.
Kagi has a “Fediverse Forums” lens.
The US military has a massive global logistics operation and spends their time training for doing things like this. Of any organization on earth they probably have the greatest capacity for building a floating pier and ensuring aid flows through it. Why are you so hung up on the logistics of building material deliveries?
The US military is building the floating pier with materials they get from the US taxpayer. If you’re trying to argue it’s a waste of tax dollars, its not.
Mazda used to get a lot of shit from car reviewers about road noise and started really beefing up their sound dampening to make it more “refined” starting around 2016 or 2017.
Why was it forked? Is the original no longer being developed?
Peace in our time!
Yes, Hamas is immoral and does idiotic things from our perspective but it’s a mistake to believe that makes them idiots. They didn’t just stumble into attacking Israel, and they weren’t naive about how Israel would respond.
Hamas are not idiots, the response is exactly what they wanted. A whole new generation of resistance is being bombed into existence now and Israel is alienating its closest allies to do it, for Hamas that’s a victory. They expected Israel to kill a bunch of random civilians in a brutal response to their attack, it’s not a surprise for them.
How is Biden not yanking the chain? You are commenting on an article about Netanyahu bitching about Biden telling him he must allow a Palestinian state. Diplomacy and international relations and all of that mostly moves kind of slowly for a bunch of reasons, it’s not like the movies, but there’s a very obvious and public rupture between Netanyahu and Biden at this point. Stopping funding is way down on the list of responses, and it’s very unlikely to escalate to that even being threatened in public.
If it keeps getting hotter and the storms keep getting worse, we will find out. At the very least, property prices anywhere still liveable will likely become even more unaffordable.
