Trump's plan for Gaza and peace in the Middle East to let Israel kill absolutely everyone that they want to.

Anyone who thinks Trump would produce a better outcome for the people of Gaza is not thinking clearly.

In the current political system, voting for a third party in earnest or in protest (for national offices) is a blatant waste of your vote

By all means, vote in third party candidates in local, county and even state elections. Vote to eliminate the electoral college. VOTE for Ranked-Choice/Instant Runoff voting.

These are the ways to break the two party deadlock.

Jill Stein has co-opted the Green Party, and turned it into a blatant pro-trump shill organization, on behalf of Russia/Putin.

Greens once ran good candidates across the country who won a fair number of local races and took office in places where they could have a good positive effect. No more. Sadly that party has been swindled and hoodwinked by a putinist grifter.

I'll agree that Dems have given up way too easily, mostly based on naive "for the good of the country" white knighting.

It probably didn't start with Al Gore and the hanging chads, but that would have been a good time to realize that sometimes these fights are existential

Doesn't change the fact that Stein is currently a russian-funded spoiler and she's a drag on the Greens and does great disservice to all of the non-major parties.

I hope No Labels and other serious 'third paries' spend time focusing on voting reform like RCV or similar. Of course, many nerds will (probably correctly) claim that RCV is flawed in whatever way and we should try to move to some other even more complicated system. And then nothing will happen and we will continue to be stuck in a bi-party system with smaller factions only ever having the opportunity to act as spoilers in national or even state-wide races.

I recall there being a LOT of those watches out that were "mobile data connected" for very cheap.

The catch? The mobile data radio was 2g, and those networks are all obsolete and gone now (I think)

Most likely they have enough volume in them for that to be unnecessary.

All this tells us is that Russia has literally zero anti-aircraft/intercept capability

even for national-level strategic sites.

They keep getting their turds pushed in by radio-controlled light civil aircraft pottering in thousands of km at highway-traffic speeds.

Pitiful.

Facesitting porn (of adults) is illegal in UK for the reason that it's potentially dangerous

Hemlock Society recommends an oven roaster bag (like for turkeys) and a bottle of inert gas (usually helium is easiest to get) and just flow enough in to keep the inert atmosphere in the bag "fresh"

Also, there is 'gas stunning' which is used in Europe for slaughter. There are some practices that use CO2 for this, but at a nearly 100% level it is pretty instantaneous, much like HS2 -- which you can't even smell at high concentration, because you're dead already.

Point, there is some state of the art around using gas to kill; it's not a brand new concept.

Virtually every international border on the planet.

ikr!

I only recently found the reddit community, and the whole aesthetic and vibe is pretty excellent

On reddit I'm lurker with a couple 14yr accounts, never created a sub.

Hopefully IF the mods of the reddit sub want to, they will find this place and can mod/join/use what we've started here.
