Solar modules deployed in France in 1992 still provide 75.9% of original output power

Reply in thread

Well, I DO know how the French count and compared to English it IS highly confusing. You can hardly convince me that saying "Four times twenty and ten" is as straight forward as saying "Nine tens".

And just to be clear: I'm not some Yankee or Brit with a superiority complex, no, I am German, and we have our own shitty version of this: Instead of moving along the digits from highest to lowest, as in "Four hundreds and two tens and nine", we do "Four hundred and nine and two tens".

Name and shame: Pro-Israel website ramps up attacks on pro-Palestinian student protesters

Reply in thread

Let's remember that the purpose of this protest was to stop Israel from defending themselves against their explicitly genocidal attackers via political pressure.

Israel is well past the stage where it defends itself against the attack. They could very well stop their operations right this moment and no further harm would come to them for the foreseeable future. What they are doing now is a deliberate attack to cleanse Gaza of everything and everyone they consider anti-Israeli.

Stopping Israel before they depose Hamas keeps Hamas in power.

How long ago has the West pulled out of Afghanistan? Apparently it's long enough that people have forgotten what an utter failure the whole thing was and why. One doesn't create a lasting peace by steamrolling a place and shoot a bunch of people. Instead Israel is breeding the next generation of Hamas terrorist right now.
