I agree they’re trying to get rid of the Palestinians; you could see that with the early slaughter, and their comments to the US, Europe, and the Arab states of, “Well if you’re so keen on protecting them, you take them!” And I think they’re okay with starvation, if that’s what it takes.

But honestly, at this moment right now I think they’re trying to thread the needle: starve and bomb them enough that their immune systems are weakened (which is already done). And then just wait for some disease or other to rage through the refugee camps. Everyone is packed in so tightly, and there are so few safe places to go, that disease is just going to rip through the population once it takes hold. And Israel will continue to hold up humanitarian aid, but (at the exact same time) proclaim that they didn’t have anything to do with those deaths, it’s all just very very sad.

Israel wants lebensraum.

In late 2006, programmer Jed McCaleb thought of building a website for users of the Magic: The Gathering Online tradable card game service, to let them trade “Magic: The Gathering Online” cards like stocks.[13][14][4] In January 2007, he purchased the domain name mtgox.com, short for “Magic: The Gathering Online eXchange”.[15][16][17][18] Initially in beta release,[19] sometime around late 2007, the service went live for approximately three months before McCaleb moved on to other projects, having decided it was not worth his time. In 2009, he reused the domain name to advertise his card game The Far Wilds.[20]

In July 2010, McCaleb read about bitcoin on Slashdot,[21] and decided that the bitcoin community needed an exchange for trading bitcoin and regular currencies. On 18 July, Mt. Gox launched its exchange and price quoting service deploying it on the spare mtgox.com domain name.[14][22]

I’m not sure when people started to refer to it as Mt Gox.

conservatives bullied the company for its inclusive policies for close to three weeks

Ooh, were they bullied for an entire three weeks, during Pride month? Poor babies!

Wasn’t it MtG OX?

Dealey Plaza will be so crowded!

Cokehead MAGAt says what?

They gave him an extension until mid-July, supposedly after the hush money sentencing is done. But now the hush money sentencing is pushed back two months because of the immunity decision, so who knows if or when.

I’m seconding Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection, Nonograms Katana, and Stardew Valley, all of which are in regular rotation and fill different niches in my soul.

One of my friend’s life ambitions was to own a Jaguar, and he finally managed to buy a used one. He called his insurance agent to add the car to his policy. The agent was like, “Oh, a second car, a Jaguar, no problem. How many miles do you think you’ll be putting on it each year? Five thousand should be plenty, yeah?”

And my friend is like, "No! I’m fixing it up and driving it everywhere! I need lots of miles!. and the insurance agent is very quiet and then suggests starting with 5k miles and see how it goes. Whatever, my friend thinks, this guy just doesn’t understand the allure of the Jaguar!

He fixes it up, gets it running, here about three blocks from the house and it breaks down. Pushes it home, fixes it up again, gets about five blocks. This goes on for months.

Eventually, my friend changes his car insurance back to 5k per year, and acknowledges that he’ll never ever ever reach that much. It’s mostly a garage princess, not (entirely) out of a desire to keep the body fresh, but more because it constantly needs babying.

I’m not sure your dad’s Jaguar is any better.

Why are you paraphrasing the article like this is your own personal analysis?

:woot: !! Every step closer to poverty is a victory!

That’s been a general movement away from rural America for decades (and people have been leaving the countryside to make their fortune in the big city for centuries). However, this line stood out to me because of the timeframe cited:

A whopping 81 percent of rural counties had more deaths than births between 2019 and 2023.

Maybe I’m just still bitter, but maybe they should have tried social distancing, wearing masks, and getting vaccinated.

Since it went off in your hands, have you tried googling the make and model to see if there are any similar complaints or even recalls for them?

With that technology, no. But retailers track where you are in their stores. And even if you don’t bring your phone with you, they’re using facial recognition technology and will eventually try working with that.

So they probably have a good idea who you are. And they also have your purchase history - what you bought and at what price you bought it. They have your frequent shopper card history, your online purchases, everything they’ve put together from data aggregators.

They have all the pieces: they can track you in the store, they know the prices you’re willing to pay for things, and they can change the price as you walk down the aisle. Do you seriously think someone isn’t going to start putting all that together?

More than that. They have your frequent shopper card and your online purchase history and everything else they’ve aggregated together. They know at what prices you purchase things, they know how much you shop around, they know the days of the week and times of day your more likely to make an impulse purchase. It’s lunch on Tuesday and your favorite snack suddenly costs five cents more because they’re moving the Overton window on your price points. It’s after work Friday and suddenly everything costs 10% more because they know it’s the end of the week and you’re tired and aren’t going to go to another store.

“I’ve already sold everything but my house,” Jones said on June 7. “I’m down to my last moves on this.”

Then dance harder, ugly monkey, dance harder.

I’m assuming both of you can connect to peers on other torrents, just not each other. Again, do you guys have DHT/PEX enabled? Did you accidentally create a private torrent?

Fucking finally. Also, lmao, the article points out that Kushner failed to pass scrutiny a security clearance. Iirc, that was because they said he was a clear security risk, and the only reason he ended up with a clearance was his father in law gave him one.

Sounds like connectivity issues. Can you guys manually add the other’s IP address? Do you have DHT/PEX enabled?
