Autopsy of Turkish-American activist shows she was killed by sniper’s bullet to the head: Nablus governor
So Israel deployed snipers using lethal ammunition to target protesters with excessive force. In this case, a US citizen. For some reason, this event reminds me of the Boston Massacre. Protesting the slaughter means you get slaughtered too.
I'm guessing we've abandoned all pretext of a red line that Israel can cross and they're free to do whatever, and the whole situation just feels like we've decided that we're on the side of evil because we keep supporting this. Might as well start putting skulls on our caps.

I used to work in HVAC. I remember we had a small cold room that was struggling to maintain temperature, as in, design was supposed to be 0°F but it couldn't get below 36°F. There was a large hole in the box that was undoubtedly the cause of the problem, so I asked the installer how they accounted for that. "Oh, I doubled the infiltration value." When I tried calculating the actual losses it was way, way higher than the infiltration value. Like, the room needed someting like 3-4 times its total refrigeration capacity to reach target with a giant fucking hole in the box.
No idea who thought putting a giant hole in the box was a good idea.

Probably because there was no knife in the footage.

Trump declares war on state climate laws | The president signed an executive order late Tuesday that aims to “stop the enforcement” of a broad swath of state climate regulations.
Ah, yes. States' rights obviously don't matter anymore.

Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars

Looking at other sources, it looks like they're shipping them to other counties. Now they're homeless somewhere else. How heartwarming.

To me, this falls under the Paradox of Tolerance. Acts of hate should be strongly discouraged.

I understand that the problem is being on mobile (and not on old.reddit). Everything might work fine on desktop.

I am actually somewhat glad that this is a major concern in this story. I feel like it is something most authors overlook.

In part because traditional farms scale better than aeroponics or hydroponics. In part because farms don't pay for the environmental damage they cause. Because of these two points, there is little incentive to industrialize aeroponics or hydroponics.
What is true right now is that traditional farms use more water, fertilizer, and space, cause more environmental damage, but require less labor. And the labor problem can be mitigated with robotics, if we're willing to invest in that.

Why doesn't this company have an onlyfans
I was amused to learn it existed. I worked in a cold warehouse but the battery room (where they charge the forklifts) was always too cold, so they put a Big Ass Fan in to push the warm air down from the ceiling. "Wait, is that really its name?" Yup.
The assembly shop I work in now has two of these fans. Feels like once I learned they existed, I started seeing them everywhere.

X-COM's original creator keen on a return to the series, if Firaxis was ever to ask him
I still play XCOM 2. The mod Long War of the Chosen really breathed new life into the game for me. I'd love to see the series continue.
