Mostly because nuclear is incredibly expensive and takes too long to build. If we want to achieve net zero anytime soon, going all-in on renewables is currently the most economically viable option.

Trump's attempt at making other Muslim countries make peace with Israel without properly addressing the Palestinian question is something Hamas cited as part of their 'casus belli', the reason they attacked Israel. They feared that if their supposed "allies" made peace, the Palestinian cause would be lost.

Trump didn't really deescalate tensions, rather he provoked some (e.g. the embassy move) and he tried to ignore other rising tensions because addressing those would be too difficult. One can easily argue his actions were the indirect cause of the current mess.

Silly Americans, submarines are supposed to sink! This was clearly a successful test.

Protesting for the right of Palestine to exist and not have thousands of their children bombed to death can hardly equate to support for Hamas.

Palestinian support for Hamas rises as Israel bombs them, their houses and their families. This suggests that supporting Hamas is an act of desperation for the Palestinians, as to them Hamas are simply the only group that actually do something against what they perceive as the Israeli oppressors.

Regardless, the vast majority of protestors would like to see a two-state solution that brings lasting peace to the region, with Hamas as well as Israeli warhawks removed from power. That doesn't really equate to support for Hamas at all.

The problem is the aging population.

The point is that people tend to claim the opposite, that an infinite amount of universes means everything and anything is happening in some universe somewhere. Which can't be true, as a universe where someone creates some device that destroys all universes does not exist (as proven by our own existence).

Therefore it follows that there must be some constraints, though what those constraints actually are is obviously a very difficult problem.

The "infinite fractions between 1 and 2 which are not 3" is an example that shows that infinite =/= everything.

Magnus has lost plenty of games, and he never accused anyone after losing those.

So why make a big stink over Niemann all of a sudden then?

The EU is forcing them to do this as part of the GDPR. Google isn't allowed to store personal data for longer than is required, and an account that's been inactive for 2 years is very likely an account that will never be accessed again. Therefore, Google has no legitimate purpose to store that data, ergo they must delete it.

That would be exactly my choice. One terrorist is not worth blowing up children over. Wait for a better opportunity that doesn't definitely have collateral damage. A terrorist does not "win" if he lives a bit longer. Nobody is "winning" anything in Gaza anyways right now.

Besides, blowing up children is a win for the terrorists.

The inflation we're currently seeing is largely caused by supply being savaged by Covid and not having fully recovered yet. Demand hasn't really grown compared to pre-Covid, which if the issue was those "stimmy checks" wouldn't be the case.
