A senior member of Hamas has hailed the systematic slaughter of civilians in Israel

When asked whether this meant the complete annihilation of Israel, Hamas replied: “Yes, of course.”

who still thinks hamas are the good guys?

the one time I was put under (dental surgery) I used my phone to record audio. really boring drilling sounds.

I wonder what percentage of their rapidly diminishing military might is being used to block foreigners from leaving? seems like a poor allocation of resources... unless there's something they dont want the foreigners to tell the outside world?

rofl. china has "food safety" fears?! omfg, my sides.

gaza is the location, hamas are the terrorists that govern it

or, you know, just switch to linux. several distros are basically just as usable out of box as anything microsoft has released.

that's awful - being unable to get closure

the reality is that if companies have remote employees, they dont need commercial real estate. if companies dont need commercial real estate, a GIANT BUBBLE that will dwarf the subprime fuckups in 2008 happens & tens of billions of dollars in commercial real estate will rapidly lose value. anyone holding that property will see their assets plummet like someone jumping out of the 70th floor of a Wall St building.

if anything, the pandemic taught us that 90%+ of employees who could work in an office downtown (or wherever) can work just as well at home. Schwarzman's ass is on the line.

anon is racist. imagine that.

yeah I'm mid transition myself - probably switch for good when win10 goes EoL. I tried win11 and hate it.

air quality: abysmal

recommendation: spray more chemicals into the sky

that's really unfortunate. if only the private country clubs could afford to repair the golf greens in the desert.

the world has never truly been at peace though - maybe prior to the evolution of bacteria, but I doubt it.

a new low for Australia.

i wonder if it'd be easier to use with some sort of gear assembly and then a foot pedal or something - that one handed rotational method looks really tiring

aka "our society is fucked"
