Today, Israel's Pdt #Herzog described as "A #warcrime" the damages caused .by Iranian missile to a hospital in #Beersheva (with 0 casualty)..
Let's remind this human-rights zealot that under his ruling, in Gaza's genocide, 38 hospitals were purposely totally destroyed, to the ground
As well as 81 major health centers and 168 heath facilities, including labs an clinics ; yeah, you know, these places where Palestinian women (or animals if you stand by Zionist standards) give birth..
Not only do Zionist politicians have no heart but they were born before shame itself. ______
Aujourd'hui, le pdt israélien #Herzog a qualifié de « #CrimeDeGuerre » les dommages causés par 1 missile iranien à l'hôpital de #Beersheva (zéro victimes).
Rappelons à ce défenseur acharné des droits de l'homme que sous son règne, en Palestine et juste dans la bande de Gaza , 38 hôpitaux ont été délibérément visés et détruits.
Ainsi que 81 centres de santé majeurs et 168 établissements, dont laboratoires et cliniques . Mais si, vous savez, ces endroits où les femmes palestiniennes (ou animaux, si vous vous en tenez aux termes de Netanyahu) accouchent de mini terroristes
Non seulement les politiciens sionistes n'ont pas de cœur, mais ils sont aussi nés avant la honte.

Während Israel immer noch behauptet beim Angriff auf den Iran "präemptiv" gehandelt zu haben prahlt Eyal Zamir damit dass sich die israelische Armee seit vielen Jahren darauf vorbereitet hat, und wegen den günstigen Bedingungen gestartet habe.

If you lower the criteria of terrorism to the point where it covers spray painting aeroplanes & claim that this is 'terrorising' military personal then I think we can safely say what you're really trying to do is halt almost any protest.
By all means call it criminal damage, but to invoke terrorism & to deploy anti-terrorism police to catch the protestors is just as much a threat to democracy as that represented by the actions of Donald Trump.

Only a madman can authorise a nuclear attack, but in the case of Iran you have to be a fucking moron. Enter Trump...
"The White House said Thursday that President Donald Trump has not ruled out dropping a nuclear weapon on Iran as he considers options for joining Israel's escalating and increasingly deadly war" They know Iran doesn't have nukes. It's an excuse just like the WMDs Iraq was supposed to have. He'll bypass Congress too

Training Young People to Memorize and Not to Reason
In 1990, Marilyn vos Savant answered a math question that made the world erupt.
At the time, she was known for one astonishing fact: her IQ was 228—the highest ever recorded. She had read all 24 volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica by age 10, and later became the face of Parade Magazine’s “Ask Marilyn” column.
Then came the Monty Hall Problem:
You’re on a game show with 3 doors. Behind one is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door. The host opens one of the remaining doors, revealing a goat. Do you switch?
Marilyn said, yes—you should switch.
The backlash? Brutal.
Over 10,000 letters flooded in. Nearly 1,000 were from PhDs—most telling her she was wrong. “You are the goat!” one wrote. “Maybe women just don’t understand probability,” another said.
But Marilyn was right.
Switching gives you a 2/3 chance of winning. Staying? Only 1/3.
It took MIT simulations, TV shows like MythBusters, and countless professors to finally admit—she saw what they couldn’t.
Why did so many get it wrong?
Because the math felt wrong. The problem was simple—but our intuition isn’t built for probability. And because she was a woman, many ignored the logic and attacked the person.
Marilyn later said the real issue wasn’t math. It was how we teach thinking. “Schools discourage independent thought,” she said. “We’re trained to memorize—not to reason.”
She still sees her gift as a blessing. But in a world that feared her brilliance, it was also a burden.

I'd only become aware recently that it's become less common for newer cars to have a spare tire. It was a bit of a shock to me.
The norm I'd been accustomed to was that a lot of cars would include a "donut" spare tire; a smaller, lighter, cheaper-to-manufacture thing. It would shave some cost off of the car, probably let the manufacturer increase their MPG rating a bit. However, it was only rated for something like 50 miles (80km) at a limited speed (say, 55mph or 90km/h) before it should be replaced. It was really designed to let a driver reach the closest tire shop and get a regular tire replaced.
What my dad always did, and recommended, and what I'd done, was replacing the thing with a full-size tire. That way, when you have a flat, it's not all that much of a problem. You just swap in the new tire, and next time it happens to be convenient, you get a new full-size tire. In my experience, spare tire wells included the space for a full-size tire; the manufacturer just didn't provide you with one.
However, in 2025, the situation doesn't look like that much anymore.
A number of spare tire wells don't appear to have enough space for a full-size spare tire. This seems, in my quick skim, to be something more common with hybrids or BEVs than ICEs, I assume because the battery is space-constrained and the tire is competition for space (and in the case of BEVs, range).
Some vehicles apparently ship with "run flat" tires. These can be driven for a limited distance, and appear to have about the same capabilities as a "donut" spare tire --- they can go about 50 miles at a reduced speed before they need to be replaced, and I assume are aimed at letting one reach a tire shop.
A number of vehicles don't have a spare tire or storage space for one or a jack at all; for example, the 2025 Corolla Hybrid. The manufacturer provides a pump and a goop kit, and the idea is that if a flat is only a slow leak, one can hopefully nurse the car along well enough with that to reach a tire shop.
As best I can tell, full-size spares are only common today with pickups or off-road oriented vehicles.
I assume that part of this is because cell phone coverage is more widespread now, and the idea is that one should just call for roadside assistance and have them bring and change it. I saw some discussion on Reddit talking about how a lot of younger people don't know how to change a spare tire.
I'm not entirely sanguine about this. While I'll agree that it can save a bit of space, I really prefer knowing that even if I get a flat, the worst that can happen to me, even if I'm outside of cell range, is that I go swap in a new tire. I've only rarely gotten flats, but it's something that I'd certainly rather have.
I guess that one could just put a tire in a trunk or hatchback/crossover/SUV's cargo space as long as one is willing to expend some cargo space, but especially with a hatchback/crossover/SUV, I'm not entirely enthralled about the idea of having something large and unsecured crashing around the cabin in the event of a crash; normally, a spare tire well prevents shifting around and has a system for securing the tire.
Thoughts? Is a spare tire something that you want to have today in your vehicle?
I'll add to this, that I've noticed some modern vehicles don't have a 12 volt 'cigarette lighter' socket, and many of the ones that still do have lowered the amperage of the fuse from 20 amps to 15 amps.
While I get that smoking is frowned on and becoming less common, that's not the only thing those sockets are used for. What about a portable 12 volt air pump? Those are rated for 20 amps, so if you try to use one on a 15 amp circuit, you'll almost instantly blow the fuse...
I have a floor-standing bike pump in the trunk from when I had a slow leak. Electric pumps are often loud enough to wake up the neighborhood, heavier, and more expensive. If you're fit enough to do 20 pushups a high-volume bike pump will work fine.
[…] für die Völkerstrafrechtlerin Julia Geneuss ist die Genozid-Debatte aktuell nicht entscheidend: „Es wäre wichtig, sich weniger um eine juristische Bewertung der Lage zu streiten, sondern erstmal dafür zu sorgen, dass das Leid aufhört.“ Sie meint: ob es sich um einen Genozid handelt oder nicht, darüber kann man auch diskutieren, wenn die Bevölkerung im Gazastreifen nicht mehr hungert und nicht mehr in Schulen Schutz sucht, die dann doch bombardiert werden.
I have an upcoming interview for a position developing iOS apps using SwiftUI, but I don't have experience programming for SwiftUI (my prior experience was in ReactNative) and don't own any Apple devices so I can't use Xcode to practice. I have tried setting up Oracle VirtualBox on my PC with Windows10 to run Mac OS v12.01 Monterey (64-bit) several times with different settings, but every time I start it up, it gets stuck on the following lines:
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
ApplePC::notifyPlatformASPM - registering with plugin with ASPM Support false
IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0
I admittedly don't have much experience with VirtualBox or MacOS, and any time I've tried to search for these specific messages I come up empty. Is there any way of getting this virtual mac running to the point where I can start using Xcode, or am I just out of luck?
lol no shit many Americans don’t own a kettle, they apparently rank 36th in tea consumption per capita. Breaking news lads, they aren’t as enamored with it as the next higher usage countries.
That's not true and also it's not the reason. We just don't drink a lot of tea. There's not a huge reason to own an electric kettle unless you're drinking a lot of tea. It's still much faster than a stovetop kettle.

"33 AD, Jesus traveled to the city of Jerusalem for the Jewish ceremony of Passover. There were thousands of pilgrims from around the world and the temple provided services for them to change their foreign money or buy animals to sacrifice. Jesus was furious. He believed that trade like this corrupted the holy site. According to the Gospel of St John, he wrecked the stalls of the moneylenders and drove them all out of the temple. "

Head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, Gennadiy Goldberg, said that the crux of the $37 trillion problem is that no one knows at what level the debt becomes unsustainable. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the U.S. government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
Goldberg agrees with Bessent’s argument but states that the U.S. also does not tax much compared to both the size of the country’s GDP and government outlays. He believes that either taxes have to go up, spending has to come down, or some combination of the two, but warned that it’s very complicated to figure out.
The White House said on June 7 that the GOP tax bill significantly improves the country’s fiscal trajectory by including $1.7 trillion in mandatory savings, while Trump’s tax cuts will spur economic growth. Democrats have pointed to analyses showing the bill’s tax cuts will benefit wealthier Americans far more than low- and middle-income workers while also adding to the national debt.

@bazkie 😮 im surprised you know any at all! whats your story? as far as the video goes, lets just say if you want to learn about half the insults the language has to offer, you can start with that kid's masterclass.
@bazkie oooh lol. you had me fooled. hey you never know! the first time i went to visit iran in 1993, i sat next to a white, american dude on the plane to switzerland. this guy wasn't even going to iran but turns out he studied farsi at UofI Champagne-Urbana. At least then they had one of the best Farsi language programs in the u.s. dont know if thats still the case. But anyways, this guy embarrassed me. His farsi was impeccable.
nice! you must have had an interesting talk with him on that flight no doubt 😀 and how about you, what's your connection to iran?
I did have a very nice iranian family living next door once so when they moved out, I wrote a goodbye message in farsi, but I just drew it from screen as best as I could. they did appreciate it 😀
@bazkie aw thats really cute. im born to iranian immigrants. aside from my parents and siblings, everyone in my family is there. at least normally, its "aside from". at this very moment my mother is in iran.
My kingdom for a horse update: Due to a business deal falling through, I’m facing eviction if I don’t raise $2,500 by July 1. My landlord has been kind, but time’s up. I’m asking 100 ppl to loan me $25 to help bridge the gap. Work is coming, but not soon enough. If you’re able to help, thank you. If not, I’m still grateful for you.
