"Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations says the Islamic Republic will not acquiesce to any restrictions imposed on its missile power"
Dead right.
Why doesn't Witkoff ask Netanyahu to stop buying F16s and bunker buster bombs. And as he's at it, ask him to sign the NPT and give up Israeli nukes? Why doesn't he do that instead? Or he could simply STFU

Rant to follow. Fedpost, perhaps.
Remember how those pallets of bricks would show up at 'peaceful protest' sites back in the early '20s? Somebody had to call 84 Lumber or wherever, and order those bricks.
Probably with a credit card. A little Gumshoe 101 work should reveal the source.
And all these clowns are doing their organizing on zogged-out social media. X, Facebook, and so forth. They are having signs and T shirts printed. Recall what we have learned over the last 20 years about surveillance.. Most of those clowns are probably just logging in from home, like I am doing here and now.

'Türkiye Solu'nun önemli bir bölümü 'İsrail-Filistin konusu'nda cahildir...

Prof. Gazi Çağlar

Türkiye solunun çok önemli bir bölümü İsrail-Filistin konusunda cahildir:

  1. Yahudilerin Filistin’de yüz yıllardır yaşadığını ve tarihlerini bilmez veya görmez.
  2. Filistin diye adlandırılan bölgenin büyük bölümünün Ürdün’de olduğunu, Ürdün’ün İsrail’e açılan savaşta daha fazla bölümüne el koyduğunu görmez.

    1. yüzyıl sonrası 1948’e kadarki süreci bilmez.
      Buraya önemli ve hatta çoğunlukla sosyalistlerin Rusya’dan geldiğini, yerleştiğini, satın alınan topraklara sosyalist toplumun nüveleri olacak Kibbuz’lar kurduklarını, bu Kibbuz’lara İtalya faşizmi ile, Hitler faşizmi ile çalışan ve Filistin adına konuştuğunu iddia edenlerin kurdukları çetelerin saldırılarını, cevap niteliğinde Yahudi savunma gruplarıyla çatışmalar yaşandığını bilmez, görmez.

@Blueteamsherpa It's part of the way there. What I really want is Markdown but with all of Word's advanced features.
Word doesn't show me control codes for things like italics, bold, tables, URLs.
I tend to use Obsidian or VS Code for first drafts in pure Markdown and then copy it over to Word to finalize it with stuff like headers, footers, page numbers, table of contents, etc.

I used to use OneNote just for its ability to organize ideas but its so aggressive with the genAI crap that I'm looking for alternatives.
Also, I feel like OneNote hasn't had any meaningful updates or added features in years. It's still stuck in 2010.

I recently saw a tourism ad from #Quebec #Canada that nearly made me cry. A visitor is checking in at a hotel. When the clerk asks where he’s traveling from, he looks ashamed and whispers “I’m American”. The clerk presses a button under the desk, which I initially thought was a panic button. Instead it unlocks a panel allowing her to come out from behind the desk, and she gives the guy a big hug. I nearly lost it. I wish I could move to Canada. This meant a lot to me.❤️

Triple-bad time for homeowners, in the SW still recovering from two bulls-eye hurricanes. Insurance is high, labor is scarce, and as you say @Katherine Bond - a lot of Canadians own homes &/or vacation homes in SW FL. And as they sell, few buyers are liking the scene, so down go values, and services.

I was recently at two state parks in FL, usually full to the gills, but neither big park seemed to have any day tourists, Empty roads & paths! But packed with US'ians in huge motor homes. From Minnesota, GA, TX ... Meanwhile, homeowners who think it's time to sell and leave 'Paradise' are not finding buyers. The wealthy may not care, mansions are still being built, a short private jet-ride from Mar-a-lago....

yea so the thing about iran's underground nuke facilities, is that if they were really "totally obliterated" as in, the blast wave went all the way down to penetrate the actual structure, there would probably be video of the blast wave coming out of the entrances. they shot the bombs down the ventilation shafts so you'd expect it to blow the entrances out.

i figure if such video existed they would have shown it. instead we just see holes punched in the ground near the vent shafts.

still not convinced. but eh whatever it was a good show and everyone backed down. better than a ground assault

aah I have early signs of arthritis myself in my right hand from a boxer’s fracture when I was an amateur fighter. I’m not too familiar with the shinai but as I understand it the recommended hand protection is called a “kote” but I think any lobster mitten style glove would work.

Something like this: woodenswords.com/product_p/sg.…

I don’t recommend using any 5 finger style gloves but if it comes down to affordability its better than nothing. Trust me though, spending $100+ on hand protection is worth the investment to protect your hands if you want to spar with any amount of force.

Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...

I haven't had a proper game console since the PS3.

I would like to get one, mostly to play with my family (wife, 7yo kid). I had been waiting for the Switch 2 for a while now (I really resisted the urge to get a Switch OLED back when it was released...).

On the plus side:

  • it's really geared towards family/party gaming
  • it's Nintendo, so you get the whole usual games (Mario Kart, Zelda, etc.)
  • like most consoles, it's plug and play and can be enjoyed in the living room (I kind of gave up trying to set up a proper gaming experience with my Linux PCs, given that I don't have the hardware for it)

On the minus side:

  • the battery life is not great to say the least (2.5 hours takes me back of the Game Gear in early 90s!)
  • the screen seems to be pretty bad too (at least it's a step back from the OLED one of the Switch)
  • the joycons are still not using a Hall effect sensor, meaning they might still be prone to drifting
  • most of the games will not be sold as proper cartridges but as download codes
  • the whole thing (console, additional gamepads, games) is quite pricey
  • it's Nintendo, famous for their anti-everything (anti-homebrew, anti-emulation, anti-piracy)

Should I still go with it, or is there a better option? (I hope the better option is not to wait 4 more years for Nintendo to release a newer Switch 2 that would fix the shitty hardware).

Thanks in advance for your feedback!


The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing

Switch 2's IPS display probably isn't using overdrive.

I personally don't recommend anyone get the Switch 2. The new price points are frankly ridiculous, and I'd hate to see that shit get justified by sales.

Personally, I'd recommend looking into handheld PCs. I haven't looked into them much myself due to lack of money, but they're generally much more worth the cost from what I've heard.

All that said, I missed that you were looking for something to play with your 7 year old child. Switch might be better, but any handheld would be... notably destructible, so that's a factor to keep in mind.

Yeah, Mastodon's Unlisted is such a misnomer. My biggest gripe with it is that it mainly means "unsearchable".

And you can't really change that on a server, since that would mean that people who did mean "unsearchable" when they chose "unlisted", suddenly find their posts showing up in searches without their consent...

Friendica meanwhile shows threads as threads, but without the collapsing which would be very useful.
