Weary Lebanese brace for war after new Hezbollah threats (www.reuters.com)

BEIRUT/SIDON, June 20 (Reuters) - Lebanese product designer Tara Tabet does not want to see her country pulled into a full-scale war with Israel, but like many of her compatriots is bracing for possible conflict after new threats by armed group Hezbollah against both Israel and Cyprus....

That’s very clever as Nice is not far from Cannes. Had he tried to make it from LA it would’ve been much farther.

I feel like the tankie brand of leftism shouldn’t be called that. Their embracing of technocrat totalitarians kind of puts them out of the left field.

Thank God for all the good people with guns to provide safety, am I right?

It’s more the whole ‘having guns for safety’ idea is a bit absurd.

You got downvoted but it’s a valid question. They don’t state that the wine was fortified, however, but the comparison to sherry does suggest that.

In my reading is only compared to sherry because it’s from the same region.

Aha I see.

Downvoted :p

The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort.

I think this is important to note. Even though the Biden admin eventually stopped it, it could have been done sooner.

It’s literally the most far out object there is

Probably more etymologically so as you might expect.

You’re probably thinking of Chevrolet, which is derived from chevreuil, french for a deer.

Idk for me it’s progress. But it might be a glass half full/empty kind of difference in perspective

China state hackers infected 20,000 Fortinet VPNs, Dutch spy service says (arstechnica.com)

- Hackers working for the Chinese government gained access to more than 20,000 VPN appliances sold by Fortinet using a critical vulnerability that the company failed to disclose for two weeks after fixing it, Netherlands government officials said....

Looks great, though pasta purists may argue that your cheese substitution would not make a true amatriciana

The argument isn’t about that EVs are bad. The argument is that the Chinese government subsides the manufacture of them, so they can outperform western car companies, in order to capture the market.

Akasazh ,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

That’s not really the point. The important metric is the price of Chinese EVs in Europe compared to EVs from European car makers. That’s why the tarrifs are instated.

Hey I’m not defending the decision, I’m just clarifying the reason they were put in place.

Now you’re being obtuse

I do agree with you, unfortunately the climate is always trumped by the business climate.

On the other hand let’s not hail the Chinese government as being climate minded. Their industry is cheap partly due to climate and worker safety not being regulated as much.

My pick would be fury road. The early ones at least have the appeal (imho) of being a low budget movie with a relatable plot

Then it suddenly gets a gigantic budget with a plot that is basically a back and forth in the desert.

I remember with mobile phones you’d have an app that was called shave or something like that.

It would play the sound of a shaving apparatus and you’d run your phone across your cheek pretending to shave

Putin knows damned well that if he fails to take Ukraine, the Oligarchs will have him killed

Is thispure speculation, or do you have sources having this up?

I will control the army and make you pay me a portion of it every month.

Also maybe some gold statues of myself.

Keep up the good work you hacker!

You pay them but I’ve married my daughter to their leader. We will split the process after we’ve arrested you for treason.

Pretty good idea that law thing. I might pay someone to carve it into a stone dinner day.

I’ve had the weird thing where I suddenly lose sight in my dream. Like sticking your head in water and trying to see underwater. The dream went on.

This was a semi regular occurrence that added to the dread of the situation.

Only later my girlfriend told me that sometimes I would open my eyes when asleep, which freaked her out. Only a while later I managed to connect the dots. I was trying to see in my sleep and opened my eyes irl, causing me to lose vision in my dreams and seeing a weird blurry unrelated thing instead.

Akasazh ,

I didn’t think we would see eye to eye, but I wish to do so amically.

Thanks for the discussion!
