  728. Indonesia is one of the world's largest producers of palm oil, a versatile vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. Palm oil is used in a wide range of products, including food, cosmetics, and biofuels, due to its high productivity, versatility, and relatively low cost. The palm oil industry has been a significant driver of economic growth and development in Indonesia, contributing to job creation, export earnings, and investment in rural areas. However, the expansion of palm oil plantations has also been associated with various environmental and social challenges: 1. **Deforestation**: The expansion of palm oil plantations has been a major driver of deforestation in Indonesia, particularly in ecologically rich regions such as Borneo and Sumatra. Deforestation contributes to habitat loss, biodiversity decline, and carbon emissions, exacerbating climate change. 2. **Haze**: The clearing of land for palm oil plantations often involves the use of fire, which can lead to widespread forest fires and the release of hazardous smoke and haze. These fires have significant health impacts on local communities and contribute to regional air pollution. 3. **Land Conflicts**: The expansion of palm oil plantations has led to conflicts over land rights between companies, local communities, and indigenous groups. In some cases, communities have been displaced from their ancestral lands without adequate compensation or consultation. 4. **Labor Rights**: There have been concerns about labor rights violations in the palm oil industry, including forced labor, child labor, and poor working conditions on plantations. In recent years, there has been growing international pressure on Indonesia to address the environmental and social impacts of the palm oil industry. The Indonesian government has taken steps to improve sustainability and address deforestation, including implementing a moratorium on new palm oil plantation permits in certain areas and committing to sustainable palm oil production through certification schemes. However, challenges remain in ensuring the sustainable and responsible production of palm oil in Indonesia. Balancing the economic benefits of the industry with environmental conservation and social justice concerns requires continued efforts from governments, companies, civil society organizations, and consumers both domestically and internationally. - ChatGPT 3.5

  3870. Trump's action in Syria saved millions according to people on the ground there. He authorized several military actions in Syria, including airstrikes against the Syrian government in response to the use of chemical weapons and targeted strikes against ISIS targets. Proponents argue that these actions were necessary to deter the use of chemical weapons and to combat ISIS, which had committed numerous atrocities against civilians. By the time of the pullout the ISIS forces were severely degraded. Kurds have it tough everywhere in the region. After the US withdrawal, Turkey launched a military operation into northeastern Syria, targeting Kurdish forces. This operation, known as Operation Peace Spring, resulted in clashes between Turkish and Kurdish forces and raised significant humanitarian concerns. The Kurds accused Turkey of human rights abuses and targeting civilian areas, while Turkey claimed it was targeting Kurdish militants it considers to be terrorists. Turkey is a member of NATO, what is the US role in that situation? In 2023, the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been involved in fighting with Arab tribes in northeast Syria. The SDF are the armed force of the Autonomous Administration of North and East of Syria (AANES), which is supported by the US. The SDF have been fighting against ISIL (ISIS) in Syria since 2016. The US never stopped supporting the Kurdish SDF, as reported by both Syria and al-Jazeera. Destiny has no grasp on the issues in the Middle-East whatsoever.

  4315.  @anyazubova1518  Yes, I understand about Waqf, Israel authority needed to do some work under the Dome of the Rock, finally got permission from them to excavate, and did find some artifacts which date back to Solomon's time. I'm a non-Religious Jew in California, interested in ancient history, but don't conflate that with modern issues. In March 1921, the 3rd Arab Congress of Palestine wrote a report to Churchill. The original report is available online at the Library of Congress. The current rhetoric is not just echoed in this document, it's almost verbatim what we here from Jihadists today. The man who hit Paul Kessler in the face, killing him, at a pro-Palestine rally near my teenage home, had on his facebook page: " ‘O Allah, release the captivity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque... Sooner than later........Oh Allah, don't deprive us of praying in it before we die..." It reminded me of the 1,000 year old toast my grandfather made, "Next Year in Jerusalem". The West continues to be grossly ignorant of the issues, and the Woke Marxists here in California take full advantage of that. Ironically, it was my relatives from the Russian Empire who brought socialism to Los Angeles in the 1910s, started social programs which led to one of the largest free hospitals in the country, "The City of Hope" in Duarte, CA, which serves mostly immigrants and hispanic people, but the Jewish history of the place is almost erased. My mother was born 100 years ago this week in East Los Angeles, I'm no longer welcome there, would be seen as a colonizer in the place both my parents were born. Glad to see the UAE still on board with Abraham Accords, that Jared Kushner is still working with the Saudi's on possible investments in Israel, it appears Lebanon is going ahead with agreements to license natural gas exploration off the coast with Israel, which gives me hope the rational still exists over there. I rarely talk internal politics of Israel, none of my business. I can't tell you how much I appreciated your original comment. The ratio is normally 100:1, but when the Jihad bots hit, it's 1,000:1 😎

  5692.  @bandanakabana4494  Soviet-era propaganda often portrayed settler colonialism, particularly in the context of Western powers, as a tool of imperialism and exploitation. The Soviet Union used various mediums, including posters, literature, and films, to condemn colonialism and depict it as a form of oppression and injustice. Here are some common themes and messages found in Soviet-era propaganda regarding settler colonialism: 1. **Exploitation of Indigenous Peoples**: Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted the exploitation and suffering of indigenous peoples under settler colonial rule. Images and narratives depicted indigenous populations being displaced from their lands, forced into labor, and subjected to cultural assimilation. 2. **Imperialist Aggression**: Settler colonialism was portrayed as a manifestation of imperialist aggression by Western powers. The Soviet Union emphasized the expansionist motives behind colonial endeavors, framing them as part of a broader strategy to dominate and exploit territories and peoples. 3. **Resistance and Liberation**: Soviet propaganda often celebrated the resistance efforts of indigenous peoples against settler colonialism. It portrayed them as heroic figures fighting against oppression and colonial rule. The Soviet Union supported various anti-colonial movements around the world and depicted them as allies in the struggle against imperialism. 4. **Solidarity with Colonized Peoples**: Soviet propaganda aimed to foster solidarity with colonized peoples by highlighting shared struggles against imperialism. The Soviet Union positioned itself as a champion of decolonization and supported independence movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 5. **Critique of Capitalism**: Settler colonialism was frequently depicted as a product of capitalist exploitation and inequality. Soviet propaganda emphasized the role of capitalist interests in driving colonial expansion and portrayed socialism as a progressive alternative that prioritized social justice and equality. Overall, Soviet-era propaganda on settler colonialism sought to delegitimize colonial practices, condemn Western imperialism, and promote the idea of national liberation and self-determination for colonized peoples.

  6735.  @kasper7203  "Officials at the U.S. Department of Education last month released findings in their investigation into Georgetown University, Texas A&M, Cornell, Yale, Harvard, Rutgers and other universities over billions of dollars in unreported funding from the oil-rich Gulf kingdom of Qatar. Much of the known Qatari funding has gone to Texas A&M, Georgetown, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern and Virginia Commonwealth, all of which maintain campuses subsidized by the royal family-linked Qatar Foundation. Between 1986 and 2018, Middle Eastern countries donated more than $6.6 billion to U.S. universities, but reported less than $3.6 billion to the federal government as required by law. Of the roughly $5 billion donated by Qatar to various institutions, less than $2 billion was reported properly, according to federal records and seven years of research by experts and investigative accountants at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP). According to these findings, some of which were presented at a summit on contemporary anti-Semitism hosted by the Department of Justice in July 2019—which in part spurred the Department of Education investigation—inadequate federal oversight procedures failed to keep track of funding coming into the United States from abroad, and universities failed to report more than $3 billion given by Qatar and the Gulf States. The bulk of Middle Eastern donations coming into the United States emanates from Qatari donors (75 percent), while the Qatar Foundation accounts for virtually all of the donations from Qatar. These funds have a significant impact on universities, especially with regard to attitudes toward Israel. ISGAP's research identified a direct correlation between the funding of universities by Qatar and the Gulf States and the active presence at those universities of groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which foster an aggressive anti-Semitic atmosphere on campus. In addition, the ISGAP project assessment found a correlation between funding and the ideological bent of scholarship, including anti-Israel and anti-Zionist sentiment, at departments and institutes at some of America's leading universities, publishing houses and academic professional associations. There is also a disturbing connection between this funding and the silencing of institutes and publications by scholars that are critical of the prevailing ideology." - Newsweek, 2020

  6923. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) utilizes non-competitive hiring practices to meet certain goals related to inclusion and diversity. Here's how this works: Schedule A Hiring Authority: The FAA employs this authority to hire individuals with disabilities without the need for competitive procedures. This is part of a broader federal effort to increase the representation of people with disabilities in the workforce. The FAA specifically targets individuals with "severe" or "targeted" disabilities, which include conditions like hearing, vision impairments, missing extremities, various forms of paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism. Veterans' Preference: The FAA also uses non-competitive hiring for certain veterans, particularly those with service-connected disabilities of 30% or more. This helps in fulfilling goals to support military veterans and increase diversity within the agency. Direct Hire Authority: While not exclusively for inclusion, this authority allows the FAA to hire quickly for certain positions where there is a critical need or shortage, which can indirectly support diversity by opening up opportunities that might not be as accessible through traditional hiring routes. On-the-Spot Hiring: For both veterans and individuals with disabilities, some positions allow for immediate hiring if the candidate meets all qualifications, which is part of the FAA's strategy to meet diversity and inclusion goals. The rationale behind these practices includes: Meeting Federal Mandates: The FAA, like other federal agencies, is subject to laws like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which mandates affirmative action for the hiring of individuals with disabilities. Fostering a Diverse Workforce: By employing non-competitive hiring, the FAA aims to create a workforce that reflects the diversity of the nation, which is seen as beneficial for innovation, problem-solving, and serving a diverse public. Addressing Underrepresentation: Certain groups, including those with disabilities, have historically been underrepresented in federal employment. Non-competitive hiring helps address these disparities. However, these practices are managed with an eye toward maintaining the rigorous safety and qualification standards necessary for aviation. Here's how inclusion and safety are balanced: Qualification Standards: Even under non-competitive hiring, candidates must meet all relevant qualifications for the job. For safety-critical positions, this might mean extensive training, medical evaluations, and other rigorous standards. Reasonable Accommodations: The FAA provides accommodations where possible to ensure that employees with disabilities can perform their duties, but these accommodations do not compromise safety. The use of non-competitive hiring practices for inclusion goals has been a point of contention, particularly following incidents like the 2025 crash near Washington D.C., where critics questioned if these practices might affect safety. However, the FAA maintains that all hires, regardless of how they were brought into the agency, must meet the job's qualifications and safety requirements.

  7416.  @CarolDonnelly9358  This is a question that cannot be answered, only assumed. It's up to each of us to answer that question, or not to ask it at all. An ethical approach might be to assume all humans have a "soul" until proven otherwise. Hitler had friends, he liked children, his dog liked him, and he was married just before losing the war and committing suicide. Both Hitler and Mussolini claimed Fascism was a "spiritual" philosophy of life. Mussolini's "Doctrine of Fascism" is online in the original. I like the "Golden Rule", which is not only fundamental to most Abrahamic religions, but also to the work of Confucius who wrote 2,500 years ago about ethics and integrity. Israel is a secular state, created out of the framework begun by the 17th Century's Westphalian Agreements, which eventually led to the international legal framework of the United Nations. Jordan was created about the same time as Israel, under similar circumstances. Zionism is statism, and so is Pan-Arabism. The Arab League has 22 member states with a population of almost half a billion. Israel is one tiny nation/state of less than 9 million. In 1921 the Arab Congress made it clear to the West no Jewish majority state would be allowed to exist in the region. In the report they promised terror and death, including a threat to side with the enemies of Britain if a Jewish state was created, They kept that promise and sided with Hitler during WW2. If you have time, please read this document in its original available on the Library of Congress website. It answers the question of who is the oppressor and who is the victim. "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress

  7551.  @gravel7614  Sorry, if that's all you can focus on, that's a problem. The Mike Pompeo plan in Afghanistan would have kept assets in country to help balance the reality of the Taliban winning the war, which they did, something they could not have done without the will of their own people. The Soviets learned that lesson, as we should have in Vietnam. "Remain in Mexico" did have issues, Mexico did not handle them well. When you say "asylum seekers" we may have a different definition. Is Mexico a place of danger? Are there any safe places other than Canada and the United States in the Western Hemisphere? Does that mean you would be open to taking the almost half a billion people in those regions in? As far-fetched a question as that is, we need to start the conversation there. Why is Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Panama, not safe? Guatemala and Nicaragua are failed states, no question, but the others mostly suffering economic conditions. Perhaps we are guilty of social justice crimes like colonialism and "manifest destiny" so should just open the borders wide and take our justice? Trump is from Queens, NY. His character is a cultural norm in some parts of that city, and recognizable to those familiar with it. He's also a Real Estate Developer. Although I'm California born and raised, I work in that industry directly with C-Suite execs who lend and build in the 5 Boroughs of NYC. That's how they roll; they are wanna be cowboys always pushing the edges of legality. He's not unique in that way. Lastly, my vote is less for Trump and more against the DNC and Nancy Pelosi. I'm not alone in that motivation this cycle. She disturbs me more than Trump, so does Obama, who said crap things about Trump in 2011 that motivated Trump to run.

  8005.  @jihenfrikha5056  I'm in the correct thread, and as someone of 69 years, have a good understanding of history which is wider than the one you just described. There are now Moroccan Jews who migrated to France very unhappy and looking to emigrate to Israel, too. I am not a religious Zionist who believes in scriptural predictions, but the "history" of Jerusalem predates the label "Palestine", which is not a semitic word. In Arabic there is no "P" or "P" sound. The Foundation Stone of the First Temple is a material fact. The "Rock" of accession is pure political fantasy. Ask yourself why so many Palestinians are named "Marwan". No question it is not easy to live in Israel. I'm happy there are now no restrictions and a Jew can emigrate to Morocco. There are now direct flights from some Arab countries to Israel. That was progress, which has now been upended by an Iranian proxy attack on a sovereign state. I fear we are about to see another one with Lebanon. Ask how Palestinians live there. Israel is not a colony of any sovereign nation, it is itself a sovereign nation, and recognized as such. The Arabs wanted their own "ethno-State" which they termed Pan-Arabism, and resisted a Jewish majority state in the region. That resistance fomented violence using lies about Jews, not just Zionism. You can read about it, if you enjoy inquiry as do. This report is available in its original form as a PDF.

  8115.  @JoaquinCorreaDrums  John is a crazy conspiracy theorist. US AID to Israel comes in many, many forms, including loans, grants, and through the FMF. U.S. military assistance to Israel, primarily provided through Foreign Military Financing (FMF), often comes with certain conditions and stipulations. These conditions can vary depending on the administration, Congressional directives, and the specific nature of the assistance. Here are some key points about these conditions: 1. **End-Use Monitoring**: The U.S. government requires end-use monitoring to ensure that military equipment provided to Israel is used for its intended purposes and remains under U.S. control. 2. **Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)**: The U.S. and Israel have a long-standing MOU that outlines the terms and conditions of U.S. military aid. The most recent MOU, signed in 2016, is a ten-year agreement providing Israel with $38 billion in military aid. This MOU generally stipulates how the aid should be spent, such as purchasing American-made defense equipment and technology. 3. **Restrictions on Weapon Use**: There are often restrictions on how the weapons and equipment can be used. For example, the U.S. may place limits on the deployment of certain advanced systems or ensure they are not used in ways that could exacerbate regional conflicts. 4. **Human Rights Considerations**: Sometimes, conditions are tied to human rights considerations or international humanitarian law. This means that U.S. assistance can be subject to review based on Israel’s adherence to international norms and standards. 5. **Congressional Oversight**: Congress has a role in overseeing military aid and can impose additional conditions or restrictions through legislation or during the appropriations process. These conditions are designed to balance support for Israel with broader U.S. interests and values, including promoting stability in the Middle East and ensuring that aid aligns with American foreign policy goals. For the most current and detailed information, it's best to refer to recent Congressional records, official statements, or government reports.

  8193.  @TheWunder  I've read the research on this quote, it is not confirmed by him, it is still only from 2nd hand sources. The policies have been complex and nuance, always in the internist of Israel. There are also pressures from allies in this regard. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faced criticism over Qatar's funding of Gaza, a deal that was approved in 2018 by Israel and which Netanyahu defended at the time². However, he has recently denied accusations that he intentionally bolstered Hamas through greenlighting the Qatari funding³. Netanyahu has vehemently denied allowing Qatar to fund and strengthen the militant group Hamas in order to divide Palestinians into rival political camps, dismissing such claims as "ridiculous"⁴. While there have been debates about the impact of Qatari money on Hamas, it is essential to recognize that the situation is complex and multifaceted. Israeli policy toward both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas has evolved over time, and various governments have taken different approaches¹. Netanyahu has maintained that these actions were part of a broader strategy to maintain calm and prevent a humanitarian crisis⁵. The situation remains contentious, and interpretations vary, but it is clear that Netanyahu's policies have had significant implications for the region.

  8517.  @jamesbarnes3832  LOLOLOOL Trump just appointed a Catholic/Zionist to be Ambassador to the UN, an Evangelical Zionist to be Ambassador to Israel, we are seeing conservatives gain support in the EU, and Canada is about to have a new conservative PM. The new President of Mexico is a Lithuanian Jew and Javier Milei of Argentina supports Israel. Trump's son-in-law, a Jew, his own daughter converted to Judaism so Trump's grandkids are Jews, is in business with MBS in Saudi Arabia. The Shia are all but gone and even former HTS terrorist Ahmed al-Shara has become a local populist, not a global jihadist. The Kurds at this point have a better chance of autonomy than UNRWA defined Palestinians. UNRWA is about to be kicked out of the UN, not Israel. Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, has shown strong support for Israel. During his time in office, he announced plans to move Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem, joining a small group of countries that recognize the city as Israel's capital. Several countries have recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Here are some of them: - *United States* (2017) - *Guatemala* (2018) - *Honduras* (2019) - *Kosovo* (2021) - *Malawi* (2021) - *Marshall Islands* (2021) - *Micronesia* (2021) - *Nauru* (2021) - *Palau* (2021) - *Papua New Guinea* (2021) - *Paraguay* (2021) - *Russia* (2021) - *Serbia* (2021) - *Togo* (2021) - *Ukraine* (2021) - *Vanuatu* (2021) These countries have established diplomatic missions in Jerusalem, recognizing it as Israel's capital.

  8675.  @AD-ug9gt  Hydrants are not designed to fight brush fires at elevation. the hydrants lost pressure, not water, it was physics, not supply. People Planes and Helicopters fight brush fires, the high winds and night kept most of those resources on the ground. Some people say homes should not be there. Homes can be hardened against brush fires, even retro fit old ones. Protecting eaves and vents from fire is crucial, especially in wildfire-prone areas. Here are some key measures you can take: ### *Fire-Resistant Vents* 1. **Ember-Resistant Vents**: Use vents designed to resist ember and flame intrusion. These vents often have corrosion-resistant and noncombustible wire mesh screens with small openings (1/16 to 1/8 inch). 2. **Baffles**: Install baffles to block embers, backed by wire mesh. This helps prevent embers from entering the vents. 3. **Approved Vents**: Use California-approved vents or retrofit existing vents with approved materials. ### *Fire-Resistant Soffits and Eaves* 1. **Non-Combustible Materials**: Use metal or cement-based products for soffit construction. These materials are less likely to ignite and can contribute to the overall fire resistance of the structure. 2. **Fire-Resistant Coatings**: Apply fire-resistant coatings to soffits and eaves to enhance their fire resistance. 3. **Proper Sealing**: Ensure proper sealing between soffits and the rest of the building to prevent ember intrusion. ### *General Tips* 1. **Regular Maintenance**: Conduct regular maintenance to ensure that vents and soffits are in good condition and free from debris. 2. **Mesh Screens**: Cover all vent openings with 1/16-inch or 1/8-inch wire mesh. Avoid using fiberglass or plastic mesh as they can melt and burn.

  9113.  @jacobtrost5048  A LACK OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS The duty to investigate in situations of armed conflict is implied, but not mentioned directly in international law sources. States tend to rely on their domestic legal frameworks when it is deemed that an investigation is necessary, yet there is little uniformity of practice across states and no agreed international standards by which to assess these domestic procedures. Clearer guidance would appear to be of use in several areas, including: the circumstances that should trigger an investigation, who should carry it out, what its nature should be, the principles that should underpin it, and what an appropriate outcome would be. IDENTIFYING A SET OF GUIDELINES This project, initiated in 2014 by the Geneva Academy and joined in 2017 by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), intended to identify, via expert meetings and research, a set of guidelines based on law, policy and good practice that states should apply when they investigate alleged violations of IHL in situations of armed conflict. " - Geneva Academy While they set forth the "obligation" to investigate, the reality is the cannot while armed conflict is happening, you can't "investigate" a fire-fight or a bombing attack in real-time. I've read the material for the UN and the IHL. Israel is a "pariah" state to these organizations, we can argue if that is valid, but not the fact, so giving access during a conflict when the other side refuses would be against the best interest of the full picture of reality. The UN just reduced the number of women and children killed by 42%. They've been using Hamas numbers, but now, because armed-conflict has ended in much of Gaza, the truth is coming out. Who lied? Hamas.

  10088.  @StandinOnBuniss  ? The Japanese monarchy was ended, their institutions abolished. What "infrastructure". It was fire bombed and Hiroshima was not just a civilian target, At the time of the atomic bombing in 1945, Hiroshima was a significant military and industrial hub. The city housed various factories and facilities that produced military supplies and equipment, including: - **Military Headquarters**: Hiroshima was the site of the Second General Army Headquarters, which coordinated the defense of southern Japan. - **Shipyards and Docks**: The city had shipyards and docks that were crucial for the Japanese navy. - **Armament Factories**: Factories in Hiroshima produced weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment. - **Industrial Facilities**: The city also had various industrial facilities that supported the war effort, including steel and machinery plants. These factors made Hiroshima a strategic target for the atomic bomb. As part of Japan's unconditional surrender at the end of World War II, the country underwent significant institutional reforms under the Allied occupation, led by General Douglas MacArthur. These reforms aimed to transform Japan into a peaceful and democratic nation. Some key reforms included: 1. **Demilitarization**: The Japanese military was disbanded, and the country was disarmed to prevent future military aggression. 2. **Democratization**: Political reforms were implemented to establish a democratic government, including the creation of a new constitution that limited the emperor's power and guaranteed civil liberties. 3. **Economic Reforms**: Land reforms were carried out to redistribute land to tenant farmers, and efforts were made to rebuild Japan's economy. 4. **Social Reforms**: Measures were taken to improve education, labor rights, and social welfare. These reforms laid the foundation for Japan's post-war recovery and its transformation into a stable, democratic nation.

  10105.  @nicholasjohnferriman8283  Here are just a few violations by Hamas over the years: 15 July: Israel accepted the ceasefire initiated by Egypt and stopped all fire at 09:00. However, terrorists fired more than 50 rockets at Israeli communities. Only after six hours of continuous rocket attacks did the IDF respond. 17 July: Israel agreed to a five-hour humanitarian ceasefire. The terrorist organizations rejected it and fired rockets, including at the city of Be'er-Sheva. 20 July: Israel approved a two-hour medical/humanitarian window in the area of Shejaiya, following an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) request. Forty minutes after the ceasefire began, Hamas violated it. Nevertheless, Israel implemented the ceasefire, even extending it for two more hours. 26-27 July: Israel respected an UN-requested humanitarian ceasefire from 08:00-20:00 on Saturday, 26 July. Israel announced its readiness to prolong the ceasefire until midnight, but a few minutes after 20:00, Hamas renewed firing rockets at Israeli civilians. On the same day (26 July), Hamas announced a 24-hour humanitarian ceasefire, at 14:00. Hamas violated its own ceasefire a short time later. Despite Hamas’ continuous fire, Israel decided to extend the humanitarian ceasefire a second time, from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday. 28 July: Israel accepted Hamas' request for a ceasefire in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. The IDF was instructed to cease military attacks, but Hamas continued to launch rockets at Israel. 30 July: Israel announced a temporary humanitarian ceasefire between 15:00-19:00. A few minutes after the ceasefire began Hamas fired rockets at the southern cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon, as well as other Israeli communities. 1 August: Israel accepted the UN/US proposal for a 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire beginning 8:00 Friday (1 August). Hamas violated the ceasefire an hour-and-a-half later when, at approximately 09:30, an attack was executed against IDF forces. Hamas terrorists, including a suicide attacker, fired at the IDF forces. During the attack, two IDF soldiers were killed by Hamas fire and Israel suspects that Second Lt. Hadar Goldin was kidnapped during the exchange of fire and dragged into a tunnel. (He was declared dead on 3 August based on forensic evidence found in the tunnel). 4 August: Israel authorized a 7-hour humanitarian window in Gaza, from 10:00-17:00. Hamas kept firing rockets throughout the lull. 5-8 August: Israel accepted the Egyptian proposed 72-hour ceasefire, beginning on Tuesday, 5 August at 08:00. Israel had already pulled out all its forces from the Gaza Strip. Prior to its expiration on 8 August, Israel notified Egypt that it accepted a 72-hour extension but the Palestinian delegation was not willing to renew the ceasefire. At approximately 04:30 on Friday, 8 August, two rockets fired from Gaza hit southern Israel, in violation of the ceasefire that was set to expire at 08:00. Terrorists increased the rocket fire immediately after 08:00, injuring a number of Israelis. Israel held its fire for hours, but eventually was forced to react. 10-13 August: A 72-hour ceasefire began at midnight between 10-11 August. Despite the firing of several rockets towards the end of the 72-hour ceasefire at midnight on Tuesday, 13 August, the ceasefire has been extended for five days, until midnight on Monday, 18 August. 19 August: Although the ceasefire was extended for an additional 24 hours, at about 3:30 pm, three rockets fired from Gaza hit Beersheva and Netivot, violating the ceasefire. In response, the IDF struck terrorist targets in Gaza. Throughout the rest of the day, a total of 50 rockets were fired from Gaza, strikingthroughout southern Israel, including a shopping center in the Ashkelon coast region, as well as in Tel Aviv and, shortly before midnight, the Jerusalem area.

  10364.  @adelbenelachhab  The region of Morocco was part of several Islamic caliphates throughout history, though it also saw the establishment of its own independent dynasties and empires. Here's a breakdown of the key periods: Early Islamic Period (7th-8th Century): After the Islamic expansion in the 7th century, the region that is now Morocco came under the influence of the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750), based in Damascus, Syria. The Umayyads expanded their rule into North Africa, and Islam spread to the Berber tribes in Morocco. However, during this time, the area was largely governed by local Berber leaders under the Umayyads' broader control. Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258): Following the fall of the Umayyads, the Abbasid Caliphate took control of the Islamic world, including North Africa, although the caliphal authority was less direct in Morocco. Local rulers in Morocco often acted independently or in semi-autonomy while recognizing Abbasid spiritual authority. Almoravid and Almohad Dynasties (11th–13th Century): In the 11th and 12th centuries, the Almoravid and Almohad dynasties, both of which were founded in Morocco, established powerful empires that spanned much of North Africa and into Spain (al-Andalus). These dynasties were significant in the Islamic world, and although they were not caliphates in the strict sense, they exercised immense political and religious influence similar to that of a caliphate. Merenid and Saadi Dynasties (13th–17th Century): After the decline of the Almohads, the Merenids and Saadi dynasties ruled Morocco. The Saadis, in particular, became prominent in the 16th century. While these were not part of the larger caliphates of the Islamic world, they were still important Islamic states with religious and political power. Modern Period: In the 19th and 20th centuries, Morocco was divided into spheres of influence between European powers, but it retained a degree of independence. It was not a caliphate during this period, although the monarchy claimed to uphold Islam as part of its identity.

  10611.  @paulmcdonald323  There are at least 1,000 scientific papers on how human activity, other than climate change, effects frequency and severity of fires. Even common sense would tell you that. Relationships between Human Population Density and Burned Area at Continental and Global Scales Abstract We explore the large spatial variation in the relationship between population density and burned area, using continental-scale Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) based on 13 years of satellite-derived burned area maps from the global fire emissions database (GFED) and the human population density from the gridded population of the world (GPW 2005). Significant relationships are observed over 51.5% of the global land area, and the area affected varies from continent to continent: population density has a significant impact on fire over most of Asia and Africa but is important in explaining fire over < 22% of Europe and Australia. Increasing population density is associated with both increased and decreased in fire. The nature of the relationship depends on land-use: increasing population density is associated with increased burned are in rangelands but with decreased burned area in croplands. Overall, the relationship between population density and burned area is non-monotonic: burned area initially increases with population density and then decreases when population density exceeds a threshold. These thresholds vary regionally. Our study contributes to improved understanding of how human activities relate to burned area, and should contribute to a better estimate of atmospheric emissions from biomass burning.

  10731.  @CarterKey6  Not sure what you are referring to. Israel is a secular state with civil law, but with some protections for religious law, not just for Jews, but other religions, too. How did the soldier know the age of the boy with the fireworks? Is there a history of children carrying deadly weapons in the area, is there a history of armed and violent resistance? Are Israeli citizens dying on the front lines of the war against Hamas and Jihad? I'm in California, a childhood friend, a high school football hero, joined the Army in 1969, 81st Airborne, Green Beret, MACV-SOG: Secret Operations in Vietnam. I don't know first hand, but spent many hours with my friend as he unloaded what he and his buddies did during the secret war in Cambodia. I just had my windows replaced by a man who escaped the Killing Fields of Pohl Pot, and right now in Tigray, Ethiopia, children are dying of starvation in the aftermath of a civil war supported by Turkey, Iran, and the UAE. The behavior described in this video, the behavior of both sides in this, is an expression of ubiquitous human behavior. The 2 Talmuds are not the word of G_d, not what Moses brought down from the mountain. My belief is based on the human responsibility to G_d, yourself, and to other fellow human beings, in that order. The Talmuds, as well as the Sunnas, are frameworks of how to behave in the World. They are aspirational, something to strive for, but something we will never achieve in the frame of this reality. We are here to "Receive, Transform, and Transmit" That's my belief.

  10883. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) utilizes non-competitive hiring practices to meet certain goals related to inclusion and diversity. Here's how this works: Schedule A Hiring Authority: The FAA employs this authority to hire individuals with disabilities without the need for competitive procedures. This is part of a broader federal effort to increase the representation of people with disabilities in the workforce. The FAA specifically targets individuals with "severe" or "targeted" disabilities, which include conditions like hearing, vision impairments, missing extremities, various forms of paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism. Veterans' Preference: The FAA also uses non-competitive hiring for certain veterans, particularly those with service-connected disabilities of 30% or more. This helps in fulfilling goals to support military veterans and increase diversity within the agency. Direct Hire Authority: While not exclusively for inclusion, this authority allows the FAA to hire quickly for certain positions where there is a critical need or shortage, which can indirectly support diversity by opening up opportunities that might not be as accessible through traditional hiring routes. On-the-Spot Hiring: For both veterans and individuals with disabilities, some positions allow for immediate hiring if the candidate meets all qualifications, which is part of the FAA's strategy to meet diversity and inclusion goals. The rationale behind these practices includes: Meeting Federal Mandates: The FAA, like other federal agencies, is subject to laws like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which mandates affirmative action for the hiring of individuals with disabilities. Fostering a Diverse Workforce: By employing non-competitive hiring, the FAA aims to create a workforce that reflects the diversity of the nation, which is seen as beneficial for innovation, problem-solving, and serving a diverse public. Addressing Underrepresentation: Certain groups, including those with disabilities, have historically been underrepresented in federal employment. Non-competitive hiring helps address these disparities. However, these practices are managed with an eye toward maintaining the rigorous safety and qualification standards necessary for aviation. Here's how inclusion and safety are balanced: Qualification Standards: Even under non-competitive hiring, candidates must meet all relevant qualifications for the job. For safety-critical positions, this might mean extensive training, medical evaluations, and other rigorous standards. Reasonable Accommodations: The FAA provides accommodations where possible to ensure that employees with disabilities can perform their duties, but these accommodations do not compromise safety. The use of non-competitive hiring practices for inclusion goals has been a point of contention, particularly following incidents like the 2025 crash near Washington D.C., where critics questioned if these practices might affect safety.

  10973. The budget for public safety in Los Angeles tends to be high for several reasons: Size and Population Density: Los Angeles is the second-most populous city in the United States, with a diverse population spread across a large area. Managing public safety in such a densely populated and expansive urban environment requires substantial resources. Crime Rates: Historically, Los Angeles has faced significant challenges related to crime, including gang activity, drug trafficking, and property crimes. Addressing these issues requires robust law enforcement efforts and investments in crime prevention strategies. Complexity of Urban Challenges: Large cities like Los Angeles often face a variety of complex urban challenges, including homelessness, mental health crises, and traffic congestion. Public safety agencies are frequently called upon to respond to these issues and provide assistance to vulnerable populations. Emergency Preparedness: Los Angeles is susceptible to natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, and floods. Ensuring readiness and effective response to emergencies require dedicated resources and investment in emergency management capabilities. Labor Costs: Public safety personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical responders, typically command relatively high salaries and benefits due to the demanding nature of their work and the need for specialized training. Equipment and Technology: Maintaining modern equipment, vehicles, and technology infrastructure for public safety agencies requires significant ongoing investment to ensure effective operations and response capabilities. Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with state and federal regulations, as well as legal settlements related to past incidents or lawsuits, can contribute to the overall cost of public safety services. Overall, the combination of these factors results in a substantial budget allocation for public safety in Los Angeles to ensure the safety and security of its residents and visitors.

  11024.  @foufoufun  Yes, that's a better definition of Science, an assertion or hypothesis must be testable, peer reviewed, and sometimes even recreated by others. Trump asked for both Bleach and UV Light to be tested. I read the transcript of the press conference, although I also heard it live. Both his comments about Bleach and UV light therapy made me CRINGE. But I decided to fact check, and found out there was a team at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles testing UV light inside the body for gastrointestinal pathogens asking for emergency permission to modify the catheter for Covid use. Fact Check = True. I then checked the ingredients in Bleach, and found that the base ingredients has been used for 100 years by Dentist to clear infection after root canal, and a 1-3% solution in a spay might be worth at least testing. Fact = Partly True. I did not vote for Trump 2016, he was never on my radar, I am not into the "celebrity" thing, but when it appeared he would win the nomination, I researched, and found he was REAL, and had substance, if not depth. I still did not think he could win, but he did. I've found myself agreeing with his policies and deeds, so discount his asinine personality, and pay attention to what he does, not what he says. I think mature voters should do that. He gets my vote, and also because I think the Democrats, my party, have not played fair in 4 years and do not deserve the office. Thanks for the civil engagement, people call here have called me fake, and empty account, and a liar. Seems no room for moderates to engage these days.

  11417.  @graham7176  No, it's an Indo-European word, not semitic. Arabic has no "p" in the alphabet, and even when they say it now, it's with a "PH" sound. In ancient greek "Palē " is the word for "Wrestle". I get the Syria-Palestina naming, but the Romans took it from the Greek, which again, is indo-European, not semitic. I don't really care, I'm non-religious on the matter, but love the stories, as they are a repository of human cognition. Arab Muslims and Christians didn't much care about Jews one way or another until they started returning in the 1880s from Central and Eastern Europe. Then the German and Austrians started coming with money, the Arabs who had some political control in the region welcomed the money, but then saw too many might arrive and change the political balance. When war broke out between the West and the Ottoman Empire, the Arabs flipped on the Ottomans, who they say they liked, and went with the British, they were traitors. The Arabs got a shock when they learned a promise was made for a Jewish Homeland, they felt betrayed by the British, and said so to Churchill in a 1921 report, one that I have a copy of. The report is full of hate for the Jews and the British, and threats they would side with the Germans or Russians in the next conflict, which they did, by siding with the Nazis. I have compassion for the Arabs, but don't trust them, they lie and change sides too easily. They made poor choices, and choices have consequences. They're still crying about what happened, but have never taken any personal responsibility for their choices. T.E. Lawrence was correct. Israel has to deal with a petualent and immature neighbor who will not grow-up. I don't have an answer to that.

  12739.  @ItsArcticVision  The Qur'an. Jesus was saved from shedding blood on the cross and submitted to Allah. Quran, chapter 3, verse 55, also known as sūrat āl ʿim'rān (The Family of Imrān), Allah says to Jesus, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection". Quran describes the end of Jesus’ existence on Earth. Muslims believe that Jesus was neither killed nor crucified, but was raised alive up to heaven. The Quran states in Chapter 3, verses 52-55: “When God said, ‘Jesus, I will take you to Me and will raise you to Me, and I will purify you of those who do not believe.’” And in Chapter 4, verse 157: “And because of their saying, ‘We killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,’ — but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts.” Islam stole the blood of Christ in a deception they brag about. According to orthodox Muslim theology, God transformed Simon of Cyrene to look exactly like Jesus and have him crucified instead of Jesus, who ascended to heaven without being put on the cross. This is one of the different views that various sects of Islam have on Jesus's death. Ahmadi Muslims, for example, believe that Jesus survived the crucifixion and continued to preach in India until his natural death.

  12742. What we are still fighting: Soviet Era Propaganda Soviet-era propaganda often portrayed settler colonialism, particularly in the context of Western powers, as a tool of imperialism and exploitation. The Soviet Union used various mediums, including posters, literature, and films, to condemn colonialism and depict it as a form of oppression and injustice. Here are some common themes and messages found in Soviet-era propaganda regarding settler colonialism: 1. **Exploitation of Indigenous Peoples**: Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted the exploitation and suffering of indigenous peoples under settler colonial rule. Images and narratives depicted indigenous populations being displaced from their lands, forced into labor, and subjected to cultural assimilation. 2. **Imperialist Aggression**: Settler colonialism was portrayed as a manifestation of imperialist aggression by Western powers. The Soviet Union emphasized the expansionist motives behind colonial endeavors, framing them as part of a broader strategy to dominate and exploit territories and peoples. 3. **Resistance and Liberation**: Soviet propaganda often celebrated the resistance efforts of indigenous peoples against settler colonialism. It portrayed them as heroic figures fighting against oppression and colonial rule. The Soviet Union supported various anti-colonial movements around the world and depicted them as allies in the struggle against imperialism. 4. **Solidarity with Colonized Peoples**: Soviet propaganda aimed to foster solidarity with colonized peoples by highlighting shared struggles against imperialism. The Soviet Union positioned itself as a champion of decolonization and supported independence movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 5. **Critique of Capitalism**: Settler colonialism was frequently depicted as a product of capitalist exploitation and inequality. Soviet propaganda emphasized the role of capitalist interests in driving colonial expansion and portrayed socialism as a progressive alternative that prioritized social justice and equality. Overall, Soviet-era propaganda on settler colonialism sought to delegitimize colonial practices, condemn Western imperialism, and promote the idea of national liberation and self-determination for colonized peoples.

  13041. The Aztec origin myth centers on the concept of Aztlán, which is often considered the ancestral homeland of the Mexica people, the dominant group within the Aztec civilization. According to Aztec tradition, Aztlán was a mythical, idyllic place from which the Mexica migrated to eventually settle in the Valley of Mexico. Aztlán: Aztlán is described as a mythical, paradise-like place. The name "Aztlán" means "Place of the White Heron" or "Place of the Herons" in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. It is often depicted as an island or a series of islands in a lake. Migration: The myth states that the Mexica people were guided by their god Huitzilopochtli, who told them to leave Aztlán and search for a new homeland. The sign they were looking for was an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its beak, which was a divine signal indicating the site of their new home. Journey: The journey from Aztlán to the Valley of Mexico was long and arduous. It is said to have taken many years, with the Mexica encountering various challenges and other peoples along the way. Founding of Tenochtitlán: The Mexica finally saw the promised sign on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco, where they established the city of Tenochtitlán around 1325 CE. This site would eventually grow into the powerful Aztec Empire. Cultural Significance: Aztlán represents more than just a physical location; it is a symbol of the Mexica’s divine destiny and their connection to their gods. It serves as a cultural and spiritual touchstone that reinforces their identity and legitimacy as rulers in their new homeland. The legend of Aztlán is part of a larger corpus of Mesoamerican myths and reflects the importance of migration stories in establishing a group’s origins and their right to rule.

  13451.  @Andre-qo5ek  Yes, electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to reduce the number of internal combustion vehicles (ICVs) on the road over time. As EV technology continues to advance and become more affordable, more people are likely to choose electric vehicles over traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles. This shift can be attributed to several factors: 1. Environmental Concerns: Many people are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of traditional vehicles, especially their contribution to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them a cleaner alternative. 2. Government Policies: Governments around the world are implementing policies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, such as subsidies, tax incentives, and regulations aimed at reducing emissions from transportation. These policies can make EVs more attractive and affordable for consumers. 3. Technological Advancements: As battery technology improves, EVs are becoming more competitive in terms of range, performance, and charging infrastructure. This makes them a viable option for more consumers, leading to increased adoption. 4. Consumer Preferences: As awareness of EVs grows and more models become available, consumer preferences are shifting towards electric vehicles. Factors such as lower operating costs, quieter operation, and the convenience of home charging contribute to this trend. While it may take time for EVs to fully replace ICVs, especially in regions where infrastructure and consumer acceptance are still developing, the transition to electric vehicles is expected to accelerate in the coming years. This transition will contribute to a reduction in the number of internal combustion vehicles on the road and help mitigate the environmental impact of transportation.

  13728.  @aurelo54  Yes, that's a rather rambling definition of "Manifest Destiny". Many cultures throughout history had similar myths about their origins and destinies. Pre-Columbian Aztec/Mexica had a similar myth called Aztlan. France had a "manifest destiny" myth which led to the "reign of terror" and a love for the National Razor, a symbol of the extreme mob democracy which allowed Napoleon to later sway this mob into an Army which swept across half of Europe and the Middle-East. Napoleon has a nice resting place in Paris. I've been there, although I enjoyed the Latin Quarter a bit more. Ronald Wilson Reagan shared this "mystic" vision of America, "a shining city upon a hill" which echoes back to our Puritan origins. In his 1989 farewell address, he said: "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life. But I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. In my mind, it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds, living in harmony and peace." The Puritans got some things very wrong, like the climate of NE North America, and believed if they could pray hard enough, G_d would change it for them. The climate didn't change, the Puritans adapted and turned it into one of the richest most successful places on earth. At least until the Irish arrived. [just a joke]. Trump is no different than those Puritans, he will pray for peace but prepare for war. NATO will pay its fair share to protect all democracies from enemies, both foreign and DOMESTIC, that's in the oath of office.

  13740. Anarcho/Syndicalist, claims Chomsky, and Norman claims "mentorship" with Chomsky: Maoism and anarcho-syndicalism are both ideologies that fall under the broader umbrella of socialism, but they have significant differences in their principles, methods, and goals. 1. *Theory and Ideology:* - *Maoism:* Maoism is a political and social theory derived from the teachings of Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People's Republic of China. Maoism emphasizes revolutionary struggle and guerrilla warfare as means to achieve a communist society. It focuses on the mobilization of peasants and the rural poor, advocating for a protracted people's war against capitalist and imperialist forces. - *Anarcho-Syndicalism:* Anarcho-syndicalism is a branch of anarchism that emphasizes the organization of workers into decentralized labor unions as a means to overthrow the capitalist system and establish a stateless society. It rejects hierarchical structures, including the state and capitalism, and advocates for direct action, solidarity, and worker control of the means of production. 2. *Role of the State:* - *Maoism:* Maoism typically advocates for a transitional socialist state, led by a vanguard party representing the interests of the proletariat. This state is seen as necessary to carry out the revolutionary transformation of society and defend against counter-revolutionary forces. - *Anarcho-Syndicalism:* Anarcho-syndicalists reject the idea of a transitional state, viewing all forms of government as inherently oppressive. Instead, they aim for the immediate abolition of the state and the establishment of decentralized, self-managed communities and workplaces. 3. *Economic Organization:* - *Maoism:* Maoism traditionally advocates for a centrally planned economy, with the state controlling the means of production and distribution. However, Maoists have also experimented with more decentralized economic models, such as agricultural communes during Mao Zedong's rule in China. - *Anarcho-Syndicalism:* Anarcho-syndicalists envision a decentralized economic system based on worker-owned and -managed enterprises organized into federations of labor unions. Production and distribution would be coordinated through voluntary associations and mutual aid, without the need for central planning or market mechanisms. 4. *Approach to Revolution:* - *Maoism:* Maoism emphasizes the need for a disciplined revolutionary party to lead the struggle against capitalism and imperialism. It sees armed conflict and mass mobilization as essential tactics for achieving revolutionary change. - *Anarcho-Syndicalism:* Anarcho-syndicalists believe in direct action, such as strikes, boycotts, and sabotage, as the primary means of challenging the power of capital and the state. They emphasize building grassroots solidarity and worker empowerment to create a revolutionary counter-power from below. While both Maoism and anarcho-syndicalism share a commitment to socialism and the overthrow of capitalism, they diverge significantly in their strategies, organizational models, and visions of a post-revolutionary society."

  13763.  @allangibson8494  We agree, the States can, however, SCOTUS can weigh in on each decision to determine if the law was properly applied. In Colorado the Chief Justice dissented, stating the Colorado qualification law did not provide enough time for due process. The lawsuit was first heard in Denver District Court, where Judge Sarah Wallace ruled Nov. 17 that while Trump incited an insurrection on Jan. 6, he can still appear on Colorado’s 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot because he is not an “officer of the United States.” In an 11-page dissent, Boatright, the chief justice of the state Supreme Court, wrote that Colorado’s election code was “not enacted to decide whether a candidate engaged in insurrection.” Instead, the state code lays out qualifications based on “objective, discernible facts,” such as a candidate’s age, time previously served as president and place of birth. Those all “pale in comparison with the complexity of an action to disqualify a candidate for engaging in insurrection,” Boatright wrote . Boatright said the Colorado law requires that any challenges to a candidate’s eligibility be heard at a “breakneck pace,” giving the defendant little time to prepare a defense and making the statute ill-suited for a claim of such gravity. “This speed comes with consequences, namely, the absence of procedures that courts, litigants, and the public would expect for complex constitutional litigation,” he wrote. Samour, building off of Boatright’s dissent, wrote in his 43-page dissent that he worries about due process given the speed of the case.

  13883. Palisades homes that retrofitted for fire did not burn. The California State Fire Marshall's office website has the information. The "elites" in the Palisades who could afford the retrofit didn't do it, now we are all going to pay. The California Fire Marshal has indeed provided recommendations for retrofitting homes to harden them against wildfires. Here's a detailed look at some of these recommendations: Vents: Attic and underfloor vents should be replaced with California State Fire Marshal-approved flame and ember-resistant vents. Vents with openings larger than 1/8 inch are particularly susceptible to embers. These modifications might reduce airflow, so consider this when making changes. Roof: Replace combustible roof coverings like wood shake or shingle roofs with Class A-rated materials such as asphalt shingles, tile/cement shingles, or metal panels. This is because the roof is one of the most vulnerable areas due to its large surface area and exposure to embers and flames. Windows: Ensure all windows are securely closed during fire hazards. Consider double or triple-paned windows or tempered glass for better heat resistance. Vegetation in front of windows should be removed to decrease radiant heat exposure. Miscellaneous Structures: Structures like gazebos, RVs, boats, and playground equipment, which are often combustible, should be either hardened with noncombustible or ignition-resistant materials or relocated away from the main residence. Create an ember-resistant zone around these structures. Siding and Decks: Non-flammable siding is recommended, especially where vertical wood meets the roof, as these areas are particularly vulnerable. Decks and fences should be made from fire-resistant materials or retrofitted if possible. General Hardening: The California Fire Safe Council and other organizations provide guides for homeowners on how to retrofit homes to withstand wildfires. These guides include recommendations on creating defensible space, using fire-resistant building materials, and ensuring proper maintenance like clearing debris from roofs and gutters. Pilot Programs and Assistance: There's also mention of the California Wildfire Mitigation Program, which provides assistance for home hardening, particularly aimed at low-income high-risk communities. This program helps with the financial aspect of retrofitting homes, focusing on both defensible space and structural improvements. -Grok

  13967.  @lmncsay  "Controlling"? Defending against, not controlling. If Hamas was under control, the attacks by Hamas since 14 June 2007 would not have occured. "First Nation"? There were many peoples in the Western Hemisphere before Europeans arrived. Those "first peoples" waged their own genocide. You think war came to the Western Hemisphere with Europeans? If the US waged a genocide against the "First Nation" as you call it, they did a very poor job. The 31st Vice-President of the United States, Charles Curtis, was a native "first nation" human. Many tribal nations within the United States are wealthy, and not just from Casinos. The Apache and Comanche required extermination, not only did the US believe this, but Mexico, too. The Mexican Government would not agree to Peace terms without a guaranteed security agreement with the US over these two "first nations", who, by the way, culturally appropriated the Horse from Europeans and used that technology against their own people. If you think there is any parallel between the US treatment of Indians and Israeli defense against Arabs, that's crazy. The Arab elites, educated in Europe and the Ottoman Empire, are the ones who failed their people. The Hashemites turned on their Muslim brothers, the Ottoman Turk, and fought with the Christians and the Jews against their own kind. They were traitors. That's not just me saying it, get out of this silo and listen to what Muslims tell each other about it. There are 22 Arab Nations, a population of 450 million. Israel is one nation, with a population of less than 10 million. Do the math, which nation is more at risk from "Genocide"

  14614.  @justtocomment6261  The budget took effect July 2024 but was adjusted after UNION CONTRACT was negotiated in November 2024. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) budget for the fiscal year 2024/25 presents a nuanced picture where, despite initial cuts, the overall budget increased due to various adjustments. Initial Proposal and Cuts: Mayor Karen Bass initially proposed a budget for 2024/25 that included a cut of approximately $23 million for the LAFD. This was later revised by the City Council to a cut of $17.6 million from the previous fiscal year's budget. Union Contract and Increases: However, following negotiations and the approval of a new union contract in November 2024, the LAFD's budget saw significant increases to cover salaries and benefits. This adjustment resulted in the fire department's operating budget growing by more than $58 million compared to the previous fiscal year, bringing the total budget to $895.6 million for 2024/25. Specific Allocations: Despite the initial cut, there were allocations for salary increases, new equipment, and technology updates, which contributed to the overall increase. For instance, $76 million was allocated to cover the costs associated with the new union contract, which was initially placed in an unappropriated balance before being transferred to the LAFD's budget. Impact and Public Perception: There has been considerable debate and public scrutiny over these budget changes, especially in light of wildfires and other emergencies. Critics pointed to the cuts as potentially hampering emergency response capabilities, while city officials and budget documents highlighted the overall increase, arguing that it supported critical services. Specifically, *$2.5 million* was set aside for new equipment and technology updates. This decision was partly influenced by the aftermath of the fire beneath the Santa Monica (10) Freeway, which highlighted the need for updated resources. In summary, while there was an initial reduction in the LAFD's budget for the 2024/25 fiscal year, subsequent adjustments, particularly related to salary and benefits under a new union contract, led to an overall increase in the department's budget from the previous year.

  14970. Soviet Propaganda Lives Soviet-era propaganda often portrayed settler colonialism, particularly in the context of Western powers, as a tool of imperialism and exploitation. The Soviet Union used various mediums, including posters, literature, and films, to condemn colonialism and depict it as a form of oppression and injustice. Here are some common themes and messages found in Soviet-era propaganda regarding settler colonialism: 1. **Exploitation of Indigenous Peoples**: Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted the exploitation and suffering of indigenous peoples under settler colonial rule. Images and narratives depicted indigenous populations being displaced from their lands, forced into labor, and subjected to cultural assimilation. 2. **Imperialist Aggression**: Settler colonialism was portrayed as a manifestation of imperialist aggression by Western powers. The Soviet Union emphasized the expansionist motives behind colonial endeavors, framing them as part of a broader strategy to dominate and exploit territories and peoples. 3. **Resistance and Liberation**: Soviet propaganda often celebrated the resistance efforts of indigenous peoples against settler colonialism. It portrayed them as heroic figures fighting against oppression and colonial rule. The Soviet Union supported various anti-colonial movements around the world and depicted them as allies in the struggle against imperialism. 4. **Solidarity with Colonized Peoples**: Soviet propaganda aimed to foster solidarity with colonized peoples by highlighting shared struggles against imperialism. The Soviet Union positioned itself as a champion of decolonization and supported independence movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 5. **Critique of Capitalism**: Settler colonialism was frequently depicted as a product of capitalist exploitation and inequality. Soviet propaganda emphasized the role of capitalist interests in driving colonial expansion and portrayed socialism as a progressive alternative that prioritized social justice and equality. Overall, Soviet-era propaganda on settler colonialism sought to delegitimize colonial practices, condemn Western imperialism, and promote the idea of national liberation and self-determination for colonized peoples.

  15327.  @cncit  It was also Jewish homeland. Did they not deserve a nation/state after fighting alongside the Allied Powers in WW1? Is that not what the Hashemites did, too, fighting against their Muslim brothers alongside Christians? Many Muslims think those Arabs were traitors. In the 1900 census Jews were the majority population of East Jerusalem, and about 8-12% of the region. Jews fought with the British at Gallipoli, then established the Jewish Legion with 3 brigades in the war. Again, Jews willing to share, Arabs were not. They told Churchill they would side with Germany next time there was a war, and they did. Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, allied with the Nazis, became friends with Adolf Eichmann, and met with Hitler to discuss his "final solution". There's both photo and film evidence of these facts, even a new movie out in Egypt about it in praise of al-Husseini. "Displace Palestinians", Jews were Palestinians under the British Mandate, Golda Meir had a passport which said as much. After WW1 and WW2 there were 100s of millions of people displaced all over the world. An equal number of Jews were displaced in Arab lands like Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and even India. Why the double standard? 160,000 Arabs stayed in the new nation/state of Israel. They are citizens, serve on the Knesset, the Supreme Court and even in the IDF. Show me the comparable in the region. Jordan is a theocracy, they even limit the number of Christians who can be in government. Again, why the double standard?

  15769.  @henrydobson9419  Are you saying the primary intended use, by both the United States and Israel is to kill children in their beds? The goal is defense of the free world, a responsibility the US took on, reluctantly, after WW2. It's performance has been a mixed bag, some failure, some success. Israel is a success. It's a liberal democracy in a neighborhood with few liberal friends. The US indeed uses Israel as a proxy for war, as it did in the 1970s with the F4s sold to Israel that engaged Soviet MIGs in 1973. The US is about to ship offensive weapons to the Ukraine as Russian drones bomb areas where children are going to school 18 feet underground, with more than a million Children displaced outside the border of their homes, and 10s of thousands kidnapped by Russia and forced into adoption in Russian homes. In the Sudan, non-Arab children are dying everyday from violence and malnutrition. The world is a tough place to be a kid, and why I'd rather America had the premier MIC than any other nation/state in the world today. Down the street from me last week, at University of California @ Irvine, a professor was arrested for refusing a legal demand to leave the property; he was wearing the Red Scarf of the Communist "Young Pioneers". America has a viral infection on its campuses, the takeover by anti-American, anti-Capitalist ideologues who teach hate against classical liberal values. These protest will get Donald Trump elected, just as the protests in the 1960s and early 1970s got Nixon elected. The Marxist Dialectic equals chaos, always has. Marx predicted a transition phase where there would be a dictatorship of the proletariat. The post-Stalin Marxists like Marcuse predicted that transitional dictatorship would actually be women and other marginalized groups in the West. That's the real battlefront here in America, and to some degree, because of the weird allegiance between the neo-Marxists and Islamists, Israel, too. There are 22 Arab states in a League which emcompasses almost half a billion people. Israel is less than 9 million, with almost 2 million of those Arab citizens. Why is statism evil for Jews by not Arabs?

  16003.  @meegz149  Here, let me help you, it's in how you engineer the prompt Silicon Valley has been at the forefront of developing several significant large language models (LLMs). Here are some specific examples: GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) Series - Developed by OpenAI, which is based in San Francisco, California. The series includes models like GPT-3 and its subsequent iterations. These models are known for their ability to generate human-like text and have been pivotal in advancing natural language understanding and generation. Llama Series - Meta's Llama 3.1 is another example, although Meta is primarily based in Menlo Park, which is part of Silicon Valley. This model has been highlighted for its performance capabilities, challenging industry leaders and promoting the democratization of AI technology. Mistral Large 2 - While Mistral AI is a French company, the impact of their models, including Mistral Large 2, has been significant in Silicon Valley due to the global nature of tech influence and the shared platform of development and discourse in AI. This model matches or surpasses existing top-tier systems in various benchmarks. DeepSeek's Models - DeepSeek, although a Chinese company, has made waves in Silicon Valley with its open-source models like DeepSeek R1, which has been noted for outperforming some leading American AI models in certain benchmarks. This model has been discussed extensively in Silicon Valley circles for its efficiency and performance. These models represent a cross-section of both proprietary and open-source developments, showcasing Silicon Valley's role in both nurturing new AI technologies and in the discourse around AI ethics, accessibility, and innovation.

  16721.  @Hamzay-n9s  Yes, the intent is in the Hamas charter and even the Qur'an. It's true, some call for a "Greater Israel" just as the other side calls for a "Greater Palestine". It is FALSE that Israel is "growing" in size each year. There are those in Israel who want peace and a two-State solution. Do you trust that aspiration on the part of some Israelis? Read this, you can google it and read the original online from 1921. "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." It's clear Jews have not been welcomed by Arab/Muslims for at least 200 years. That has not changed. Look at the history of the city of Safed. The majority of Jews in Israel are not European/Ashkenazi, are what some Arabs call "fake Jews", but both old and new Yishuv. The Nobel Prize winning author, John Steinbeck, had family members murdered, raped, and land destroyed by Arabs who hated them being there in 1853, 50 years before the bulk of Zionist immigration began. You can read that online in its original, too. I'm in California, my parents were born here in the early 1920s, my great-grand parents came to America from the Russian Pale of Settlement in the 1880s. Jews were an oppressed people with no right of citizenship and used as canon fodder by the Russian Army. Some did not fight against the Ottomans in the Crimean War but walked 1,000 miles to Yafo to start new communities. They were not welcome. More's the pity.

  17451.  @SibusisoMaseko1  We have many reciprocal agreements: U.S.-Israel Free Trade Agreement (FTA): Benefit: Eliminates duties on many products traded between the two nations, significantly boosting bilateral trade. It was the first FTA the U.S. signed and has been in effect since 1985. Security Cooperation Agreements: Benefit: Through various defense pacts, including a $38 billion military aid package over a decade (2019-2028), the U.S. supports Israel's security needs while fostering joint military research, development, and interoperability. This includes programs like the Foreign Military Financing (FMF), which supports Israel's defense capabilities and contributes to U.S. defense industry through purchases. Scientific and Technological Cooperation Agreement (STA): Benefit: This agreement promotes collaboration in science, technology, and innovation, leading to mutual benefits in research and development. It establishes a framework for joint projects, intellectual property protections, and academic exchanges. Binational Foundations (BIRD, BARD, BSF): Benefit: These foundations facilitate cooperation in industrial research and development, agriculture, and science. Each has contributed significantly to technological advancements that benefit both countries' economies, with returns on investment far exceeding the initial funding. For example, BARD has returned an estimated $12 in economic value for every dollar invested. Memorandum of Understanding on the Extension of Reciprocal Privileges and the Visa Waiver Program (MOU on Reciprocity): Benefit: This agreement, signed in 2023, aims to extend reciprocal privileges to all U.S. citizens traveling to or through Israel, facilitating easier travel, business, and tourism while aligning with the Visa Waiver Program requirements. It also addresses entry issues for Palestinian-Americans, enhancing people-to-people connections. Joint Economic Development Group (JEDG): Benefit: This group explores economic cooperation, addressing trade impediments and fostering new commercial opportunities, supporting economic growth and stability in both nations. Water and Energy Cooperation: Benefit: Israel's expertise in water technology, particularly desalination and water management, has been shared with the U.S., notably in states like California. Conversely, U.S. investments in Israeli tech companies and joint projects like "BIRD Energy" support clean energy initiatives that benefit both countries environmentally and economically. Cultural and Educational Exchanges: Benefit: Programs like Fulbright have strengthened educational ties, fostering mutual understanding and cooperation in academic and cultural spheres, which indirectly supports economic and diplomatic relations.

  17722. The Churchill White Paper of 1922 was a significant document in the history of British policy towards Palestine and its Jewish inhabitants. Issued by Winston Churchill, who was then the Colonial Secretary, it aimed to address the tensions arising from conflicting promises made to both the Jewish and Arab communities during World War I. The White Paper affirmed Britain's commitment to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which expressed support for the establishment of a "national home" for the Jewish people in Palestine, while also recognizing the rights of non-Jewish communities in the region. However, it also sought to reconcile this commitment with the concerns of the Arab population. Key points of the Churchill White Paper included: 1. **Partition**: Churchill proposed a partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab areas. This was one of the earliest instances of such a proposal, though it did not come to fruition at the time. 2. **Limitation of Jewish Immigration**: The White Paper introduced restrictions on Jewish immigration to Palestine, stating that it should not exceed the economic absorptive capacity of the country. This was a response to Arab concerns about Jewish immigration overwhelming the indigenous population. 3. **Land Sales**: It recommended the control of land sales in Palestine to prevent the dispossession of Arab peasants. 4. **Protection of Rights**: Churchill emphasized the need to protect the rights of all communities in Palestine, regardless of religion or ethnicity. The Churchill White Paper was criticized by both Jewish and Arab communities. Zionist leaders objected to the restrictions on Jewish immigration and land acquisition, which they saw as betrayals of the Balfour Declaration. Arab leaders, on the other hand, felt that the paper did not go far enough in addressing their grievances and aspirations for self-determination. Overall, the Churchill White Paper was an attempt to navigate the complexities of the situation in Palestine at the time, but it ultimately failed to satisfy either side and did not lead to a lasting resolution of the conflict.

  18065.  @annajorgensen1627  I am 65 and have health issues, and pre-existing conditions will not be touched. I've not paid any attention to Trump in the past, but as President have watched closely. I find it difficult to listen to him, no doubt, but I agree with the policies and actions this administration has taken. I was facing the Obama Care tax because I was self-employed, as were many of my friends, it was terrible, and Trump stopped that tax, and gave me a tax break which added $1500 to my yearly income, and I'm middle-class. My retirement account, which is not huge, has increased 67% under Trump, and if it stays stable, will provide for me in retirement. I am so afraid of a Biden win, am considering cashing out of my equity position and sitting on the cash, as are many other small investors who fear a Biden/Harris win. Sorry, I don't see what you see, and in my neighborhood in Los Angeles County, I can't put a Trump sign in my window, because I'd get a brick through it. It's the extremes from both sides pushing in, and I don't want to see the new-left have power in the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Court. that would be very, very bad. I don't see the same issue with the GOP today, and remember, I am a registered Democrat in California, and have been a social activist since 1971 when I first marched against the war in Vietnam. Trump is not "evil", he's just a human being, with a personality disorder, to be sure, but I know many high functioning people just like him who are not evil, just a pain to deal with.

  18409.  @RoninDave  Yemenite Mahras are the purest Yemenis with the least foreign admixture besides a few individuals having SE Asian ancestry.They also have the most Natufian DNA. The deserts of Arabia did not come into being until 6,000 years ago. The Natufian lived in rather lush surroundings, every different from what's there now. About 14,400 years ago in the Black Desert of northeastern Jordan, someone was tinkering with the recipe for the perfect pita. This auspicious moment in culinary history has been captured by researchers who sampled the contents of two stone fireplaces at the site of Shubayqa 1. The team, led by University of Copenhagen archaeobotanist Amaia Arranz-Otaegui, found that the people living at this small campsite, hunter-gatherers who belonged to a culture known as the Natufians, were making unleavened bread-like products at least 4,000 years before the dawn of agriculture. Canaanites were a mixture of Zagros/Caucasian migrants and ancient Levantine farmers. Quasi-Canaanite ancestry is a major genetic source for Jews and Palestinians alike, though Palestinians have had less European admixture over time. I'm not one to point to the bible for justification of a nation/state for one and not the other, nor DNA. The current framework for civilization is the Westphalian agreements from the 17th Century and the concept of nation/state sovereignty. That framework is under attack by some Arabs and some Western Europeans, but for different reasons. Live in peace, share the land, let each have sovereignty.

  18563.  @Rockster-q1m  95% Sephardic is nonsense, the Umayyad Dynasty took Christian wifes from the north, Abd al-Rahman III had reddish blonde hair and blue eyes, forced to dye his beard black to look more Arab. The Alhambra Decree of March 31, 1492 not only kept Jews out of the New World, but conversos, too. Even 3rd generation conversos like those who accompanied Pizzaro required attestation they were not formerly Jews. In 1569, Philip II, king of Spain, issued the decree that ordered the establishment of the Inquisition in South America, Jews and crypto-Jews were hunted down. Some claim both Pizarro and Cortes as Crypto-Jews, too. No doubt Sephardic Jewish blood flowed to the New World, and DNA evidence has turned up as far north as Denver, CO., but 95%? Many Ashkenazi Jews arrived in Brazil during the period of Dutch Protestant rule in the early 1600s, setting up in Recife the first synagogue in the Americas, the Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue, as early as 1636, but the Dutch were run out by the Portuguese in 1654 and the Jews had to either hide again, or leave. By 1750, out of 2,500 Jews in the American Colonies, the majority was Ashkenazi. They were Yiddish-speaking Jews from Holland, Germany, Poland and England. The first United States Ashkenazic synagogue, Rodeph Shalom, was established in Philadelphia. 1819. Your statements have element of fact, but are grossly exaggerated and do not include the German and Polish Jews who began to arrive in the New World early in the17th Century. I often tell people horse husbandry came to the Western Hemisphere as a Jewish technology, and the 1st Cowboys were in fact Jewish, but everyone laughs.

  18678. The Israel-Palestine conflict is a deeply complex and sensitive issue with historical, political, and social dimensions. In a point/counterpoint format featuring figures like Dave Smith and Constantin Kissen, we can outline some possible arguments they might present. ### Point (Dave Smith) 1. **Historical Claims**: Dave might emphasize the historical connection of Jews to the land, citing the significance of Jerusalem and the historical presence of Jewish communities. He could argue that Israel's establishment was a legitimate response to centuries of persecution. 2. **Right to Self-Defense**: Smith could argue that Israel has the right to defend itself against attacks from Hamas and other militant groups. He might stress the importance of security for Israeli citizens and the ongoing threat posed by groups that do not recognize Israel's right to exist. 3. **Peace Initiatives**: He might point to various peace initiatives that Israel has undertaken, emphasizing that Israel has made concessions in the past and is willing to negotiate for peace, highlighting that the lack of a resolution often stems from the Palestinian side's refusal to recognize Israel's legitimacy. ### Counterpoint (Constantin Kissen) 1. **Palestinian Rights**: Kissen could counter by emphasizing the rights and suffering of the Palestinian people. He might argue that the Israeli occupation and settlement expansion violate international law and deny Palestinians their right to self-determination. 2. **Humanitarian Concerns**: He may highlight the humanitarian crises in Gaza and the West Bank, arguing that the military actions taken by Israel have devastating consequences for civilians, and that international humanitarian laws are often disregarded. 3. **Two-State Solution Viability**: Kissen might question the viability of the two-state solution, arguing that ongoing settlement activities and political divisions among Palestinians complicate the possibility for a peaceful resolution. He could advocate for a more balanced approach that considers both narratives and promotes dialogue. ### Conclusion Both sides of the debate highlight critical perspectives and narratives that shape the Israel-Palestine conflict. Engaging in such discussions requires a nuanced understanding and sensitivity to the historical and current realities faced by both Israelis and Palestinians.

  19074.  @matthewogorman7291  Kamala oversaw Obama's "21st Century Policing Working Group" in California and supported Prop 47, both led to unsafe conditions in California. I know, I live here: Police unions have voiced several criticisms of the 21st Century Policing Working Group and its recommendations, reflecting their concerns about the impact on law enforcement practices, officer safety, and labor relations. Here are some common criticisms: 1. *Perceived Threat to Officer Safety:* Police unions argue that some recommendations, such as restrictions on the use of force or changes to pursuit policies, could jeopardize officer safety by limiting their ability to respond effectively to dangerous situations. 2. *Lack of Input in Policy Development:* Union leaders often criticize the Working Group for not adequately consulting with law enforcement professionals during the development of its recommendations. They argue that policies affecting policing should be crafted in collaboration with those who understand the complexities of law enforcement firsthand. 3. *Impact on Collective Bargaining Rights:* Police unions assert that certain recommendations, particularly those related to disciplinary procedures or civilian oversight, infringe upon collective bargaining rights. They argue that such measures should be negotiated through established labor processes rather than imposed from external sources. 4. *Unfunded Mandates:* Many of the reforms proposed by the Working Group require resources and funding to implement effectively. Police unions criticize the federal government for advocating changes without providing adequate financial support, which they argue places an undue burden on local law enforcement agencies. 5. *Effectiveness and Accountability:* Some unions question the efficacy of the reforms recommended by the Working Group, expressing concerns about whether these changes will actually improve police-community relations, reduce incidents of misconduct, or enhance accountability without compromising officer effectiveness. 6. *Political and Public Perception:* Police unions often perceive the Working Group's recommendations as influenced by political agendas or public pressure, rather than grounded in practical considerations of law enforcement practice and safety. Overall, police unions' criticisms of the 21st Century Policing Working Group reflect their concerns about the potential impacts on officer safety, labor rights, and the effectiveness of law enforcement operations. They advocate for policies that they believe will support officers in fulfilling their duties while maintaining public safety and accountability. - ChatGPT

  19100. LAFD budget for the fiscal year 2024/25 Despite initial cuts, the overall budget increased Initial Proposal and Cuts: Mayor Karen Bass initially proposed a budget for 2024/25 that included a cut of approximately $23 million for the LAFD. This was later revised by the City Council to a cut of $17.6 million from the previous fiscal year's budget. Union Contract and Increases: However, following negotiations and the approval of a new union contract in November 2024, the LAFD's budget saw significant increases to cover salaries and benefits. This adjustment resulted in the fire department's operating budget growing by more than $58 million compared to the previous fiscal year, bringing the total budget to $895.6 million for 2024/25. Specific Allocations: Despite the initial cut, there were allocations for salary increases, new equipment, and technology updates, which contributed to the overall increase. For instance, $76 million was allocated to cover the costs associated with the new union contract, which was initially placed in an unappropriated balance before being transferred to the LAFD's budget. Impact and Public Perception: There has been considerable debate and public scrutiny over these budget changes, especially in light of wildfires and other emergencies. Critics pointed to the cuts as potentially hampering emergency response capabilities, while city officials and budget documents highlighted the overall increase, arguing that it supported critical services. In summary, while there was an initial reduction in the LAFD's budget for the 2024/25 fiscal year, subsequent adjustments, particularly related to salary and benefits under a new union contract, led to an overall increase in the department's budget from the previous year.

  19339. "Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are a type of nuclear reactor that use molten salt as both the fuel and the coolant. One of the key advantages often attributed to MSRs is their inherent safety features, including what is commonly referred to as "walkaway safety." Walkaway safety refers to the ability of a reactor to shut down safely and cool down passively in the event of a malfunction or loss of power without requiring human intervention or external power sources. This is achieved in MSRs through several design features: 1. **Passive cooling mechanisms**: MSRs are designed to use natural processes such as convection and passive heat transfer to dissipate heat in case of emergency shutdowns. 2. **Negative temperature coefficient**: Many MSR designs feature a negative temperature coefficient, meaning that as the temperature increases, the reactivity of the reactor decreases. This inherent feedback mechanism helps prevent runaway reactions and promotes stability. 3. **Freeze plug or drain tank**: Some MSR designs incorporate a freeze plug or a drain tank as a safety mechanism. In the event of a power loss or other emergency, the freeze plug melts or the drain tank is activated, allowing the molten salt fuel to drain into a passively cooled containment vessel where it can safely dissipate heat. 4. **Chemical stability**: Molten salt fuels have high chemical stability, reducing the risk of chemical reactions that could lead to accidents. These features collectively contribute to the reputation of MSRs as being inherently safer than traditional light water reactors. However, it's important to note that while MSRs offer promising safety features, they are still under development, and practical implementation will require rigorous testing, regulatory approval, and adherence to strict safety protocols to ensure their walkaway safety claims hold true in real-world scenarios." - ChatGPT -3.5 (walkaway safe prompt)

  19498.  @Communist-Doge  Again, there were two major schools of Judaism at the time of the 2nd Temple. School of Hillel and the School of Shammai. Just like today, people are fluent in more than one language, and in the crossroads of Jerusalem, many languages were spoken and known, especially those Jews steep in Hellenism like Flavius Josephus. The life of the scholar at that time was not some illiterate carpenter in some backwater in the Galilei, which is being shown to be much more of a suburban area than previously thought. I have no believe in a historical Jesus, but do enjoy the history of the region in that time. The region was very cosmopolitan, in fact, that was one of the reasons the Jews were often in revolt. The leadership was well versed in Hebrew. Jesus would have read the commentaries in both Hebrew and Aramaic. Hebrew was used for the Mishnah, while Aramaic was used for the Gemara, the commentary on the Mishnah that together with the Mishnah forms the Talmud Unless you believe Jesus was just some sort of idiot savant imbued with his own word of god, he would have been bi-lingual. The New Testament is rife with analogs to the Hebrew text. Scholars agree. Scholars generally agree that the New Testament contains many linguistic terms with origins in the Hebrew language. While the New Testament was written in Koine Greek, it was heavily influenced by Hebrew and Aramaic. This influence is evident in the vocabulary, idioms, and expressions used throughout the New Testament

  19577.  @mohamedm.el-sawymd2325  Dhimmi, Jizya, is not living in "peace", it's being a 2nd class citizen with few rights. I've read much history but willing to learn more. You? After World War I, there was a narrative within the Ottoman Empire, including elements within the Young Turks movement, that blamed Jews for the defeat and the subsequent collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Here's a nuanced look at this historical phenomenon: Background: The Young Turks, officially known as the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), were a coalition of reformers who sought to modernize the Ottoman Empire. They took control during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leading the Empire into World War I on the side of the Central Powers. Post-War Scapegoating: After the Ottoman Empire's defeat, there was a search for scapegoats. The conditions of the Treaty of Sèvres (1920) were particularly harsh, leading to significant territorial losses and political instability. This environment fostered conspiracy theories and blame-shifting. Anti-Semitic Propaganda: Some Young Turks and nationalists propagated anti-Semitic theories, claiming that Jews, particularly those in influential positions within the empire or abroad, had conspired against the Ottomans, aiding the Entente Powers. This included claims that Jewish bankers funded the allies or that Zionist movements in Palestine were part of a larger plot against the Ottoman state. Examples: Avram Galanti: A Jewish Ottoman intellectual, was accused of spying for Britain due to his Zionist affiliations, despite his loyalty to the Ottoman state. Newspapers and Pamphlets: Various publications of the time blamed Jews for the economic and military woes, echoing similar anti-Semitic sentiments seen in Europe. Historical Context: This scapegoating was not unique to the Ottoman Empire; similar sentiments were present in defeated Germany, contributing to the "stab-in-the-back" myth, where Jews were blamed for Germany's loss. Impact on Policy and Society: These narratives influenced the early years of the Republic of Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, although Atatürk himself pursued policies more focused on modernization and secularism rather than anti-Semitism. However, the seeds of such conspiracy theories contributed to the broader historical anti-Semitic currents in the region. Modern Historical Analysis: Historians today view these accusations as part of a broader pattern of xenophobia and nationalism that emerged from the trauma of war and collapse. The narrative was not universally accepted among all factions of the Young Turks or within the broader Ottoman society but was significant enough to influence some political discourse.
