  • I mean, you can criticize Israel for not appeasing Hezbollah enough, but even international analysts are pretty unanimous that this was an attack by Hezbollah. Of course they're going to deny killing Arabs. They thought they were killing Jewish children. Their entire goal is to provoke Arabic-Jewish violence, which is a completely consistent reason for the intended attack.

  • No, it criminalizes anything created involving a computer that is realistic-looking.

  • In other words, it is an authorized copy.

  • If a horse or cow breaks its leg, what's a less painful method? A properly-aimed bullet is instant and 100% painless. You gonna call a vet, wait half a day if you're lucky, and then hope they give chemicals quickly and correctly while the animal languishs in pain?

  • Killing people isn't always illegal, and you forgot hunting, euthanasia, and target shooting.

  • Guns have useful legal purposes and specific constitutional protections though. Cars don't. The number of people going track racing in their SUVs has to be essentially zero.

  • The US entirely eliminated screwworms within its border in a very similar fashion 60 years ago and then wiped them off the whole continent just for good measure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olj8arvfYj4

    If we actually directed effort at exterminating harmful mosquitos, they would be gone in a couple years.

  • I have my phone number on my personal website—never had any adverse consequences. In fact, the only two calls I've gotten have both been at my work number which isn't on there somehow. One to ask a genuine question and one to give me 30 bucks in appreciation.

  • Update: the president named replacement heads of the military, and the coup leaders withdrew and have seemingly given up after public support turned out in favor of the legitimate government.

  • Um, but actual Irish-Americans love eating corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's day. It's racist to celebrate your heritage? Or just to try things from other people's cultures?

  • Libraries buy licenses to do so from the publishers, but that's unrelated to what I said.

    I'm saying the judge found that IA violated its own CDL, so even if its interpretation of the law was correct, the IA would still be liable.

  • Libraries do not make unlimited copies of books so everyone can check it out at the same time without wait. Obviously the EFF doesn't want to admit its client did that because it destroys their case, but that's what the judge found the IA stupidly did.

  • they are the folks bargaining for Gazans

    Hamas's sole goal is to bait Israel into killing as many Palestinians as possible so they can unite the Arab world via their mutual hatred for Jews. The only reason they're even making a façade of negotiating is so headlines can make Israel look unreasonable for not accepting their one-sided deals.

  • I still feel a can is the easiest and least wasteful solution. You pour the grease in and put the can in the cupboard until next time. Unless you're cooking bacon all the time, it takes a long time to fill up. You don't need more than one or have to wait.
