“Back in my day” people protested knowing that they’d get arrested. I don’t know why this has apparently been forgotten and they’re surprised by the arrests? Is the civil rights movement not taught in schools anymore? As long as we avoid another Kent State this is just how it’s always worked. Whining about it by the protesters just shows a lack of understanding in regards to how the world works. Have they not even seen Greta Thunberg getting arrested? Amateurs!

“This complicates our plans for a land bridge to Kaliningrad!”

You’ll notice that the report doesn’t estimate whether they died before or after Israel’s incursion.

I seem to have misplaced the world’s tiniest violin. Sad.

WiFi will probably creep in at the lower end of that soon. We’re only 2Ghz away!

We should go back to this. I want to ride on a subway with everyone shouting “Meet hot singles in your area! Improve facial skin with one simple trick! Secret and confidential. Eyes only!”

I feel like we’re getting hung up on the definition of genocide. It is reasonable to believe that what is happening in Gaza does not fall under the definition. That doesn’t make it any less horrible. People are having a semantic argument while others perish.

It would put Israel “on the back foot” in regards to the conflict. Israel would be tied up negotiating for hostage release which is exactly where Hamas wants them. It stops being a question of who is winning a battle and turns it into “how much is Israel willing to sacrifice”.

There’s a whole conspiracy regarding Covid that RFK Jr. is blathering about. Supposedly this data breach targeted Jews and Chinese folks. I’m assuming that it’s related in some way, but it’s not clear how.

There’s going to be a lot of conservative men clamoring for UBI, or more likely, cutting off their own nose to spite their face.

The whalebone hoop-skirt industry would like to vociferously disagree!

I was at Buckingham Palace watching The Queen’s ghost welcome a diplomatic party of chupacabras from Jalisco. I didn’t even take my phone with me. I’m that stupid.

You’ll get no disagreement from me!

Yes, and in reality. When you charge more per item for goods and services so that healthcare is included, they cost more.

They settle out all of the heavier radioactive elements. They then dilute the remaining heavy water with additional water to drive the level of tritium to an acceptable level. It is then dumped into the ocean and rapidly mixes with the surrounding seawater. If you were to look at a map of ocean currents you’d see generally where it would go from there, but it doesn’t really matter because tritium isn’t really a significant concern. If they were dumping significant quantities of cobalt 60 you should care more, but they aren’t, so you shouldn’t.

The radioactive component is mostly tritium. As long as they get almost all of the heavy radioactive elements, the hydrogen isotopes are basically harmless in the quantities we’re talking about here. The ocean is a very, very big place.

No, you’d leave the store having paid $120 for groceries with no wellness fee tacked on.

The alternative is that they just jack up the menu prices to accomplish the same thing. This is just the equivalent of pricing things at $19.99 because people don’t understand that really means $20 which sounds like a lot more money.
