many articles that have hurt the legitimacy of the state of Israel and its right to self defense, and particularly the remarks made in London by Haaretz publisher, Amos Schocken, that support terrorism and call for imposing sanctions on the government."

And of course the three related Haaretz articles they linked in this one are

Haaretz publisher clarifies Hamas remarks as Netanyahu gov't threatens sanctions
Terrorists are not freedom fighters | Editorial
Schocken, call them by their name – terrorists

According to the Christian Bible, on the day Jesus was born, his mother Mary and father Joseph were traveling to the town of Bethlehem to register for the census. The census, ordered by the Roman government, required Roman citizens to be counted and their names registered. This was used in part to help the empire know how many people needed to pay taxes and is a practice continued by governments to this day.

Sounds like a joke from a skit. Supply-side Jesus as a school curriculum.

I completely forgot about watching movie previews before watching a movie on a DVD. My parents like watching those and I always complain.

Seems like a great new rule.

Researchers recommend people use a Brita filter or similar product for tap water. These filters use carbon to rid tap water of such compounds.

I have a countertop water filter that uses a carbon filter for this kind of thing. Gets rid of the chlorine-y smell and I guess stuff like this as well.

The one I have is kinda lame though. Locks up easily if you accidentally completely empty it of water, one of the chambers has stagnant water, etc. And of course you have to buy filters, and replace them every 6 months.

Not sure if there are many good countertop water filters. An under-sink one works better of course.

okay penitentkulak in this thread says this may not be very effective.

I really wish a country like China would launch a globally aimed social media site that has good multilingual support and allows anyone to sign up. Might just be a disaster or never take off, but it's so lame to just switch between American operated social media sites.

Telegram is the only non-US based one I know of. At least the only big one known for not being American.

Unfortunately they do like 10 group photos so. I think the one he missed is https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/g20-leaders-pose-group-photo-93934791.jpg?resize=1024,683&quality=75&strip=all

he saw "against hunger and poverty" and got the ick.

I guess it's the "family photo" since it includes a ton of non G20 members. Luis Arce and Gustavo Petro (as you can see in the picture from the post) is there, for example.

small price to pay for the US. Not like anyone in Ukraine can complain. Not like any westerner ever sees anything about the consequences. Not like the lackeys "in charge" in Ukraine will say anything about it. The US will just pay off their most loyal puppets and move on to the next country to destroy.

Up until 3 years ago I guess (thought it was more recent tbh), it would show blurry images instead of vector maps and satellite, but it looks like it's detailed now.

Previously I think Google had to comply with some protectionist policy that South Korea had in place so that people would use South Korean maps, or something like that.

Seems like a cool organization. It looks like it has over 90 countries as members, including Cuba, Russia, Iran, China, Vietnam, etc.

Israel is still listed on the members page and the competition this year already just happened, so lets see if they actual commit to banning Israel by the time the next one comes around https://ioinformatics.org/page/members

Looks like that one place in Greece probably doesn't have an exceptionally good life expectancy.
