I don’t know how it works in Venezuela, but people I have personally known working with combustible materials were searched, including removal of shoes, for smoking apparatus, tobacco, weed, lighters, and matches.

Pfft, go real old school and call it thurisaz.

It’s literally a “th” in the old school use of their own language. It doesn’t bother me any more than having to run an article through a translation service, and probably less if I’m time/environment constrained, which has nothing to do with any user posting it.

I have read it. I’m guessing our guesses are aligned.

Why would “enlightened rationalists” and rich people not support something that works in their favor?

You already know. Also corporations trashed pensions for 401k, entrenchment of the working class to support the capitalist class, against their own working class interests. They keep selling us the pipe dream but the few rewarding hits keep us coming back for more.

I don’t approve of legalized gambling that always yields wins for ultrawealthy and is almost guaranteed loss for everyone else, but it’s especially egregious anyone profits off WMD. It just feels like it should be a nationalized industry that should break even or barely a profit margin that would allow for legitimate defense, and would be a loss for aggression, in any state, anywhere. I’m aware that’s not going to be especially popular among large swaths of most people, and it’s not an analytical opinion, just personal vibes.

Heaven forbid

Israel’s foreign ministry referred questions to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli authority responsible for implementing civilian policies in the Palestinian territories. It said the Palestinians on the charter plane left the Gaza Strip after it received approval from a third country to receive them as part of an Israeli government policy allowing Gaza residents to leave. It didn’t name the third country.

TIL illegally occupying entity gets to decide who gets to fly out of a sovereign state.

I’m not at all concerned about timelines. Aged nitroglycerin by the red phone is certainly no worry…

I worry so little about Iran producing nukes and so much about states already having them.

It can be on hrc.

So, the vest goes up near to her neck. You’ve got the helmet. So you have to really aim to get her in the neck… no obstructions from where the IDF sat at 190 meters away down to where Shireen Abu Akleh was at and where she was actually shot… From there, we had representatives from the Palestinian Authority security forces in blue vests, and then have a helmet with, as well, so we could see them at the same exact locations that the — Shireen Abu Akleh was at. And from 190 meters away, we could clearly see, just with our plain eyes, that this was a blue vest and a blue helmet. From there, we looked and did a straight-line trajectory, utilizing some capabilities to see exactly how the angles of the shots would have gone from where they were at, and then also with an optic to see how clearly we’d be able to see that the individual was wearing a blue vest that would have said “media” and a blue helmet.

It’s a dystopian government’s dream.

The really weird part is, a friend of mine on Medicare with supplemental private insurance was recently diagnosed with a mass in an area known for developing rapidly metastasizing cancer and had to wait several months to be seen by an oncologist, who confirmed they do indeed have that form of cancer. They were then scheduled to begin radiation a month out but for some reason had to wait an additional month. I’m betting your friend got immediate treatment because they paid much better than Medicare does.
