I was not expressing what I want or hope, just what I think will happen. Gantz has demanded that Netanyahu agree to specific goals that Gantz wants. I honestly don't know where this will lead, but Netanyahu and Gantz are pretty close on goals, methinks.

As expected, Israel will occupy Gaza and then grind away at Hamas until Hamas are powerless or all dead. The border with Egypt will be blocked. The people of Gaza will remain defiant and fight back, because they hate the Jews more than they love their own children, and so they will choose to...

My parents paid for my schooling, but I did two years of CC. As did my wife. As did my daughter. Not sure what my son will do. AP tests are over, so he has to decide soon if he's going to stick around for senior year or not. But we digress. The pier is complete. Hopefully the US will...

Interesting how low student debt is on the list.

I'm sure things were quite different 250 years ago. It's a call in vote. I don't read too much into it. A few thousand sim cards in Vietnam can make a huge difference. Then again, it's Eurovision, so it doesn't matter anyway. Those songs are all mediocre at best. It always feels like a...

I don't think you can run 18s with the MYP front brakes. Most people lifting are oversizing on 18s.

Among Israeli citizens, I believe that's a small minority. Most are pretty content from what I've seen. Police don't go around asking Arab Israelis for their papers. Lots of segregation in that society at night. Not as much during the day. It's an interesting country for sure. I don't...

https://time.com/4558510/electoral-college-history-slavery/ That heritage foundation link would barely pass as a high school ap exam essay. A nation is made of people, not states. Few Americans identify with their states more than with the nation. This is different in other countries. A lot of...

A lot of people do not want to vote for Trump. A lot of people do not want to vote for Biden. Neither of them are showing qualities that lessen that disgust so many feel. I know who the lesser of two evils is, but I don't like either of the choices. Worst election choices of the past 40+...

The far left and the far right struggle for the crown when it comes to evil. Hard to tell them apart. They both demand ideological purity. Demands for ideological purity are the fastest way to make me want to punch somebody in the face (not you). Muslims in Israel are unhappy with some parts...

That's more about low COG and groundforce/lift than it is about drag. Drag is maybe the fifth or sixth reason to lower a car.

I think India has a rather large Hindu nationalism problem right now, but it's not nearly as bad as situation normal in the Middle East.

Every religion and non-religion has a problem with extremism and supremacists. At this time, one religion has a rather larger problem than everyone else. Cough. Agreed. The Saudis are a dictatorship that spreads radical and terrorist Islam and pollutes the world. Hamas did not blink. They...

I'm not sure a cybertruck is going to handle offroading all that well, at least from the reports I've read.

A rather huge audience. Maybe half the world.

The same students who demanded no police on UCLA's campus now demand an answer as to why it took police so long to reply. From Sunset to Le Conte, UCLA will be free of cops! Well, excusez-moi! Meanwhile, UCLA moved classes online. This could have been all stopped right away if the UCLAPD...

True, but this is why, historically, we have had some trusted journalistic sources. Journalism is now in a sorry state, thanks to the internet's forced enshitification.

Oregon was founded to be whites only. That's covered? I'll check the book out. I'm not always patient with non-fiction political books. I tend to find that they make their point then just keep going and going. I am hesitant to take the word from somebody online about what's actually going on.

All this is true. However, I don't call most of what's paid attention to "journalism". It's drinking from the fire hose. Thanks for the description. Have you been down to check it out yourself? I have not bothered to go into Berkeley. To stressful. A lot of these students are stooges of...

Deep antisemitic cuts. Going for the classics. How about blood matso?

Now the university knows who to fire. The Wave (1981 film) - Wikipedia is happening in real life without any adults to stop it.

All these systems are so hacked together. Stop experimenting and just drive I car yourself when things get dicey.

The state of journalism is terrible. Our educational system is a mess. Brainwashed drones having struggle sessions on campuses.

It'll probably get confused and make you take over, or just crash.

Hold on now. If the KKK members were decrying the Jews, they'd be allowed. Free speech and all. There has been a concerted effort on the far left, going back well before I was in school some 25 years ago, to brainwash students into radicalism. The far right doesn't spend their time at...

Boomers are pretty narcissistic as a generation too, and they didn't have Instagram and TikTok messing their brains up. The Guardian is rather left wing, I'd say. It's not fully communist. Just maybe 70%. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/26/nyregion/columbia-student-protest-zionism.html This...

Anybody who believes a word from Hamas deserves to live under Hamas rule.

Even Iran kills their jihadist neighbors. Lots of maps out there. I'd not take what the BBC says without a grain of salt. https://www.britishempire.co.uk/images2/palestinemap1901.jpg There's no way in hell Israel is going to go from this conflict to two-states. Hamas absolutely convinced...

A softer spring allows for less damping. There are other impacts, of course.

It's the same issue with lane keeping. Other brands do it better. Fsd is not disappointing as I had low expectations and the terrible system met them.

If I could give steering input without the system jerking then I would be far more interested in fsd. It needs a lot of help. Since I cannot, the system is worthless to me.(moderator edit)

https://m.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-798185 A Fatah TV anchor reported that Hamas had attacked aid workers, stolen food and water and caused food prices to skyrocket in the Gaza Strip. ... footage from an Al-Jazeera interview was played which showed a woman in the enclave complaining...

Unless something was done wrong, poly should be fine. Same with aluminum or steel.

It depends on the lift method. The wheels. The tires. The way you drive. The roads you drive on. The temperature. Luck. This is why I did just a 10mm or so lift in suspension plus 1" from tires.

Bibi can't afford to alienate any of his insiders.

Tire wear is only partly based on which wheels are driven. There are many, many factors.

Iran and their ilk have been keeping Netanyahu in power for many years. The worst they behave, the longer Bibi stays.

It's just a fact that a lift will strain CV joints. The less the lift, the less the strain.

I said to put the EQ dead flat, not that the output would be dead flat. Unless somebody is a trained listener, they're more likely to make things worse than better, and considering the lack of EQ resolution, I'm not sure anybody could make the car better. Just different. In general, people...

Such silliness. I'd expect the best most accurate, or least inaccurate, setting is dead flat. EQs like these are hamhanded and essentially worthless. The best you can do is maybe pump up the bass if you prefer lower volumes, as the ear is less sensitive to bass at lower volumes, or pump up...

This is a world War. Russia, China, and Iran, with their underlings, Yemen, NKorea, Syria, and their ilk, against the US, Israel, and similar. Meanwhile, some regimes move as the wind of self-interest blows them, like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt. This is a civilizational war, between...

Such simplistic descriptions of motivations, history, and beliefs.

An old bomb can kill a Bedouin girl as easily as a new one.

If you want twitter...

Also Twitter is garbage. Nothing written there can be trusted unless vetted and nobody vets Twitter posts.

Iran has taken credit for 10/7. Iran has directly attacked Israel. Israel will work with the US to make Iran pay.

If a country on the other side of the world is aggressive against allies, it makes that country an enemy. Germany was the aggressor of two world wars and much more, only culturally changing after the utter destruction and evil of WWII. This is why it's so important to contain Russia by...
