The story here is very selectively presented to suit the points made by OP. So either OP is creating propaganda, or creating new propaganda. So are you, when you are talking about “well documented atrocities” out of context.

Ah, the sweet sweet taste of anti-Israel propaganda… How long have you been drinking that?

Huh, so basically, if somebody gives you an Iron Dome installation, and then I start shooting rockets at you, you are going to shrug it off? You are a hypocrite, debating about stuff you clearly know very little about (from reading biased news sources, no doubt).

Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory and started shooting down unarmed civilians. You can be as peace-loving as you want (I, too, think Israel could’ve done more to progress peace with Palestinians), but to sum it up as (Hammas isn’t blameless, but Israel is responsible because it has more firepower is idiotic at best.

What’s happening right now is murder of innocent people, clear as day. If you want to seek excuses for the perpetrators, something is really wrong with you.

I have a Weber grill. It’s about 8 years old. I realized there are some issues with the model (it’s a Q) shortly after buying it - mainly, the heat is not consistent all around, so you have to know where to put each piece of meat. And the heat output overall is lower than I would like. But it just won’t die. It just works, and works, and works, without any issues whatsoever. I don’t bother covering it up in the winter, and it doesn’t rust. I’m stuck with it’s downsides forever.

Ironically, all the variations you mentioned do not have the gift part, except for the letter ‘n’ :)

They all originate from Johnathan, which in Hebrew means, literally “God gave”, the “Joh” part meaning “God”, and “Nathan” meaning “gave”.

Chrono Trigger.

And the oceans are too cold for them, so they are pushing us towards global warming, right?

A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I’d like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I’m also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I’ve been mostly kicking that ball down the street.

Exactly. The issue is with the source of electricity, not with the AC itself. Not to mention that leading by example is nice, but it’s not always the best course of action. An individual avoiding AC is a drop in the water, and not going to save the planet, while suffering immensely. Hell, even if every single individual stopped using AC at home (which isn’t even close to reality), that wouldn’t have a significant effect, compared to what corporations, factories, etc. are doing.

Hear me out. Why don’t we create a paywalled API for 3rd party apps (like Threads), that will end up costing, say, $20 million annually to use at Meta’s rate… And then use the proceeds to keep all the instances running, and for other shenanigan.

Try punching 2 holes in your tire, and demand to pay for at most 1 puncture repair, let’s see how far that 0 or 1 hole argument gets you :)
