His family shouldn’t expect empathy, and he wouldn’t want his death to distract from full Epstein file disclosure.

Yes like yesterday. The silhouette is definitely not the way a horny man would typically depict a sexy adult woman.

Which is to say it’s a sketch of the torso of a girl that has only started puberty.

Wikipedia says it’s attributed to King David but doesn’t give more context. Maybe cursing someone that betrayed him?

Okay, maybe I fell asleep while watching it, what’s your favourite part?

Its just someone mocking people for liking their trucks. Like yeah the trucks are bad and the people must have some sort of cognitive challenge to still like them them even though they’ve been fleeced. But the video is just a smart ass calling people idiots.

I wasnt aware that significant a number of IDF goons had been captured. The modifications to the text summary of the article confused me so I asked a clarifying question. Including my understanding of the words being used.

Who is to be released; civilians, soldiers, spies, or what? Abducted civilians are not prisoners of war, they’re hostages, unless maybe they were seized from illegal occupations in which case I would say they’re prisoners, but not prisoners of war. I really am just trying to better understand what’s happening.

This is not a good video

It was an honest question.

The term “prisoners of war” is used in reference to captured uniformed soldiers. Is that who is being released? If they’re soldiers/agents captured out of uniform then they’d just be prisoners, not prisoners of war.

Pretty good demonstration of PET filament pulling.

I reckon you can sail from lake superior to Chicago and not pass customs until Chicago.

Touche

The Council of Nicea didn’t establish the books of the bible.

I think it established the Trinity or laid the groundwork for it.

Bulova Accutron from the 60s. I also have a Heathkit oscilloscope which I think is of similar vintage.

Hopefully the citywide speedlimit reduction on residential streets can help this city implement needed changes to physical infrastructure and traffic law enforcement.

Suburbs are awful for non-drivers, and will be a ton of work to improve, but Culloden(/Knight) and 41st is not a suburb. It’s where two major thoroughfares (41st and Knight) pass through a low density residential neighbourhood. We need an investigation with recommendations, but I suspect civil/traffic engineers know what’s needed and the problem is really too many carbrained voters to make serious widespread progress.

Very sad. I drive through there (1 block west of 41st and Knight) often. Hopefully the citywide speedlimit reduction on residential streets can help this city implement needed changes to physical infrastructure and traffic law enforcement.

Rage Against the Machine?

Everyone likes to believe they’re thinking independently.

Can you elaborate on that claim?

I exercise some critical analysis, but for the most part I just have trust in human ambition. For example: the reason I believe human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is not because I’ve looked at the evidence and evaluated it for myself.

The reason I believe that human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is: that seems to be the consensus of people that have worked hard to impartially develop expertise and gather data to understand climate science.

There are two important systems at play

1: Scientific research, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial research and discoveries which overturn old assumptions/paradigms.

2: Journalism, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial reporting on various fields of human interest. (Reporting is why it seems to be the consensus of the scientific community)

The impartiality of these systems is (has always been) under assault by capitalism (which also derives its power by harnessing human ambition) and so one must, to an increasing degree, evaluate the appropriate level of personal mental effort to allocate to identifying biases in the reporting.

Glee?

Praying wasn’t working, but praying AND fasting might!
