A 64 year old aspie whose life has been organised and directed by what he needed to do to think critically about "Hamlet". The key problem in "Hamlet" is always yourself. Also interested in probability, SF, neuro-psychology (and psych generally), wargaming, poker, chess, history, sex, paleontology/ evolution, astronomy, religion, and love. As a 15 year old, I wrote a love letter to a girl in Egyptian hieroglyphics. I sometimes don't know whether to laugh, cry or cringe about my past.

The IDF killed three of their own hostages walking towards them under white flags with their hands in the air.

any woman is free to enter any chess tournament; woman tournaments exist so as to encourage more woman to play without feeling overwhelmed by the number of men. The skeet thing is disgraceful.

"under current Senate rules" = 60 Senators voting, a "rule" which can be overturned by 51 Senators voting to repeal it - which is precisely what Republicans have done in the past. The Democrats can't block shit

"It's the economy, stupid". Harris lost support across every age bracket, both genders, all ethnicities. Only common thing - how they feel about their present economic position and their future in an economy where they seefeel inflation is high, interest rates are now higher and their own wages are stagnant (as they have been since the 70's but this time the frog woke up in a period where the speed of inflation made it clearer across all categories). Abstract numbers mean nothing to feeling.

it doesn't say that at all - what it says basically is that starlink connection issues have inexplicably increased and that the most likely cause is increased traffic from other than UA forces ie RU

I have read some dumps in my time on IMGUR but this is hands down the greatest dump I have ever read. I am gobsmacked that it is not getting recognition it truly deserves.

Abbot's actions are performative, i.e. a pretence to police the border along a few miles which if scaled up to the entire border, would need a prohibitive expenditure of money, time and people to enforce (100's of billions of dollars). Trump's wall is another performative; without human presence his wall is crossed in minutes and we are back to square 1. Sq 1 is a situation where you run patrols, then surveillance checks up to 50k from the border, with raids on suspected illegal employment.

Damn - anyway: There are two militarised police confiscating books with the Palestinian flag. Why? Because they are engaging in an uniformed performative censorship of a symbol which rightly denies the legitimacy of a theft (Nazi bookburning is another form of performative censorship). Your attempt to normalise this theft and the on-going thefts on the West Bank as the enforcement of "rules as to what children can bring to school" is noted. Tell me again I don't know what I am talking about.

So - I don't have any idea. This is the Al-Asqua secondary school which I am assuming is associated with the Mosque - which is in East Jerusalem, an occupied territory illegally annexed by Israel. It is not Israel but theft.

for the benefit of the historically challenged - look up the Nazi's burning of unGerman books May 1933. It is a ceremonial censorship of the forbidden. The Palestinian flag is not recognised by Israel and will never be because Palestine as an independent state denies Greater Israel ie the eventual expulsion of all non-Jews from lands gradually being annexed by stealth.

Those numbers are notional: Bradley's and Abrams1 are no longer being produced (and have been sitting in the desert) and new generation are already into production; Stingers(!! 1980's) same. A range of other equip is likewise all past generation in the process or due for replacement. As for the rest (say, HIMAR's) - who do you think it was produced to fight?

I like the way you treat EU institutions as though they weren't funded by their constituent members and were another state. Want to try again?

this is so wrong it is laughable; you need to know about chess rankings. Start with Magnus Carlsen who demolishes tournaments made up of 2,3,4,5 etc ranked players. And if magnus isn't playing the top 2 or 3 will likewise take the tournament.
