I kind of thought that to. Never heard the whackadoo theories until Ancient Aliens guy. They were around all along.

Takes money. Does nothing. China builds lunar science complex with particle accelerators and all the cool shit.

The quote says “it will stop us doing science in that spectrum.”

They can filter out starlink’s frequencies. What else does that filter out? If the radio telescope uses that spectrum, they can’t filter it out and continue to do their work. As I understand, this would be all radio telescopes looking within our solar system.

Space pollution frustrates me because there’s truly nothing I can do about it. Maybe someone will democratize a laser or something to shoot down these bullshit non-science satellites, like some Johnny Pneumonic shit, or was it Escape from L.A., no, it was Congo.

Ha, Sandy Lyle. He was funny as hell playing those bagpipes.

Dude is fully delusional.

Didn’t the towers go like at least 10 levels underground?

And didn’t that entire section of Manhattan used to be water?

It’s like a magazine. A book brick magazine.

They put explosives in the pagers but no shrapnel, so how does your conclusion make sense? If Israel wanted to simply cause mass damage, this would be a most incompetent way to do it.

I wasn’t trying to say that at all. Wars are fought where they are fought. It’s up to whoever is in charge of the area to make sure they are evacuated.

The people in charge of the area in Gaza (Hamas) do the opposite, that’s why they are designated as a terrorist organization and not legitimate government, such as the taliban in Afghanistan.

An illegitimate, criminal organization, that so willfully disregard the public welfare and trust, has no right to fight anywhere.

Let’s dispel the bullshit idea that Hamas is fighting for the lives and rights of the Gazan people. If Hamas wants to have a state so bad, they should start by looking out for the interests of their own people instead of constantly leading them into worse suffering. Taking part in international terrorism and killing Jews is more important to the leadership of Gaza then is feeding their people and until it’s not Gaza is irredenta.

Maybe all an army has to do to take over the entire world is bring their families to the front. Can’t shoot back at them because their families are there. So they pretty much win every engagement. Problem solved. No more wars.

Is there any time of day it’s not atrocious? Seems like any time would have basically equal risk for collateral casualties.

To be effective it all had to be at once. It seems that they waited until the pagers were being used to coordinate a fresh wave of rocket attacks with promises of more to come before setting them off.

That’s all correct, just want to add that the political motivation cannot be understated. Blue states tend to have better employment, higher average wages, and a more educated workforce. As such, they pay more in taxes than their Red State counterparts, both state and federal tax. Plenty of red States under Republican leadership have tried to eliminate most of their state taxes so that they rely even more on federal tax revenues to subsidize their shitty state economies by paying for minimum basic services.

Blue states don’t want minimum basic services, they want good services; good schools, good state roads, a modern and competent law enforcement and justice system, a strong system of public higher education and high quality flagship state university, maybe throw in some free in-state tuition, and many other things.

Red States have thrown in the towel on all that stuff, gutted public services and institutions, sold it out to private equity, in the name of lower state taxes.

By limiting the federal deduction for taxes paid to a state, citizens of blue states are once again taxed moreso than citizens of red states. That is the intented consequence of this move by Trump and the Republicans. Just as with their COVID response, their political calculation was that it would harm their political opponents moreso than their own constituents. Since that’s the only qualification for Republicans to support a particular policy, Trump enacted it into law. I wouldn’t call it treason per se, since tax policy can hardly be considered an act of war or revolt, but it’s certainly treasonish in its disdain and contempt for the American people.

“In America there is no us and them, there is only us.”

There was so much shit during his presidency, that people have amnesia about all the harm he did.

I’m sure Israel caught a lucky break through whoever they had in Taiwan, to get this opportunity.

Stunning that you’re being downvoted. This was a brilliant attack on a group that actually attacks Israel actually indiscriminately on the daily.

It’s going to be a steady stream of heavy hitters endorsing Harris until the election.

I only vacation there and usually only to rural places for wilderness activities, hunting or fishing, exploring, though I think I’ve visited most of the cities. I should have said I was not talking about the cities. And yes, absolutely, lots of great towns mixed throughout both states. I think it’s the fact that I’m mostly looking for remote places when I visit.

His supporters are so stupid.

Actual number of terrorists who have entered via land border crossing: 0.

The feds have a list of gun owners, it’s just not pulled from gun sales or anything like that. It comes from data, bought up from internet data brokers, deanonymized and put into your FBI file. Like if you’re liking and sharing a bunch of ammosexuals and tacticool content, or whatever you’re doing publicly online, the feds know.

Ooohh.

Falsely.
