...and different ethnicities outnumber Jews pretty much everywhere? Or is this about Wall Street? To that I have to say that I'm simply not antisemitic enough to even think about connecting the two, had to wreck my brain for a bit what you might be trying to get at. Certainly more (ethnically) Christian bankers there than Jewish ones.

(And just so you know where I'm coming from: German, grandpa was prosecuted as "half-Jew" (barely enough "German blood" to not end up in a camp, also, Lutheran, great-grandparents not so lucky), I have family in Israel. Long story short: Taking the lessons from my ancestry together, there can be no non-anti-fascist Zionism because fascism is a tragedy also for the perpetrators. There'd never be peace. hevenu_shalom_aleichem.opus)

I said suggesting that New York is “Zion” just because of its Jewish population is a bad thing to say and I showed you the reason why.

...no you didn't? You showed that there was a disparaging name for the Jewish community in New York. From that I infer your argument to be "NYC can't be Zion because there exist at least some people that don't like Jews to be there", but, and you won't believe this: There's not a single place in the world where that's not the case. Found a colony on Mars, it'd still be the case. It's not a suitable way to judge a place's suitability to be Zion. Few people being miffed at its existence, sure, but none? That's just an impossible standard.

Bundestag hat sogar eigene Polizei, untersteht dem Präsidenten des Bundestages.

Urteile des BVerfG sind unmittelbar anwendbares Recht, im Prinzip können sie also Gesetze erlassen. Praktisch gesehen halten sie sich mit der Reichweite ihrer Urteile aber reichlich zurück um eben der Gewaltenteilung nicht auf die Füße zu treten, die sie ja auch verpflichtet sind die zu verteidigen.

Und ohne dass jemand klagt macht das BVerfG sowieso überhaupt nichts. Ne Klage für die Besteuerung von Eigentum wäre mal interessant, das Zeug verpflichtet schließlich.

Was da eigentlich -- was existierende und nicht hypothetische Rechtssprechung angeht -- viel interessanter ist ist die Verfassungskrise in der wir schon seit einiger Zeit stecken: BVerfG hat gesagt Regierung muss Klima schützen, Bundestag beschließt Gesetz, Regierung macht nichts, BVerwG (IIRC) sagt jop Regierung bricht Gesetz... und nu? Widerstandsrecht? Gibt's nur zum Schutz der Verfassung, nicht von Gesetzen.

New York is host to the second most populous Jewish community, after Tel Aviv, before Jerusalem. That's a fact, not some antisemitic conspiracy theory.

And now you stand here, introducing a derogatory term because... noone said it? What's your intention? Make it more popular? Imply that the sentiment against Jewish New York would be any worse than existing sentiment against Israel? One has quaint strings up power poles and plenty of bagels, the other a genocidal maniac and convicted terrorist as minister of national security, I don't think there's a competition to be had, there.

The answer to “if you want to live in Zion” is “too bad.”

...or is it that you don't want any more Jews in NYC?

Set a temperature, have an exhaust, the temperature inside will be within a wibble of your set-point because the air stream will completely dominate over any other source of temperature raise/drop. You're way overcomplicating things. Forego subtlety, consider the air as a bulldozer: If this was a closed system having feedback control would be a good idea but air frying is supposed to use fresh outside air so that the hot air is really dry and the intake air being a couple degrees hotter or colder won't make a difference in practice. Just smash that shit.

Dude I gave up the moment I heard on the radio that the fucker killed Rabin. If you want to live in Zion move to New York.

...also, to the rest of the thread: If you think the US election was decided on Israel, please go outside and touch grass. Talk to people. You know, those flesh-and blood things usually found within metal containers on rubber circles that you rarely interact with. Ask them. Practically nobody in the US gives a fuck, and especially not enough of a fuck for it to be the #1 cause of things.

Nein, die sind implizit geregelt, teilweise noch nicht mal in der Verfassung sondern in Prinzipien unseres Rechtssystems. In diesem Fall geht's um Willkür.

Wenn es um grundsätzliche Gleichbehandlung von Einkommen ginge, müsste ja die bei 25% gedeckelte Kapitalertragssteuer auch gegen das Grundgesetz verstoßen, da sie im Vergleich zur progressiven Lohnsteuer in der Regel meist niedriger ausfällt.

Wo kein Kläger, da kein Richter. Und es ging da um die Ungleichbehandlung von Eigentum und Eigentum, nicht Eigentum und Lohn die schon verschiedene Dinge sind.

Ich bin da schon bei dir, musst dir bei der Argumentation aber schon gut überlegen wie du "Das muss gleich behandelt werden" mit dem Schutz von Eigentum zusammenbringst, denn Lohn ist kein Eigentum und nicht extra in der Verfassung erwähnt. In .de stehen die Chancen schon nicht schlecht da Eigentum halt auch verpflichtet, warum sollte es dann besser gestellt werden? Eher sagt das aus, dass es schlechter gestellt werden kann wenn es der Gesetzgeber in seiner Weisheit so entscheidet.

Hmm. Diluting the air will be the hardest thing: A run off the mill heat gun will do 600C at 2000W in a concentrated stream, if you regulate it down to air frying temperature you'll get very little total power so you'll want to cool it down by pulling in additional ambient air instead. But with that out of the way... add a metal box and a timer? The heat gun already regulates the temperature. Probably not via PID though, just pre-set power levels for coils and fan they're not exactly precision instruments.

...and all that made me wonder and apparently there's no culinary heat guns which would be a smart choice because they'd pay attention for all materials to be food-safe. But there are hobbyists reporting great results using standard heat guns instead of the usual torch. Not, to be honest, that you'd expect standard lighter gas to be food-grade, of course.

I'm not entirely against calling it frying, in both cases you have heat transfer by immersion in a dry liquid as contact medium, as opposed to heating with infrared radiation (e.g. toaster, many kinds of spits), direct contact with no or little contact medium (hot pan with no/minimum oil, waffle iron), using water (which is wet) as contact medium which invariably makes things soggy instead of crispy and thus very different, or directly moving the atoms in the food (microwave).

That is: If you have a look at all the different ways to transfer heat into things then frying and baking are actually darn close to each other in the first place, compared to the rest. It's the reason you can definitely make a passable calzone in a pan. And air frying in particular brigs baking into the frying range of crispiness so I'd say fair is fair, you can fry with air as long as you make you air mean enough.

If it was just Poland they wouldn't mind getting nuked if it means getting rid of Moscow. Ironically it's being in NATO that's holding them back.

As a modestly educated American, I understand it would be tone deaf to tell you what you should do in this thread

Why the fuck would that be the case. Comes off as patronising, infantilising, "oh your minds are so feeble and gullible I cannot possibly state my opinion without influencing you unduly". Nah mate we're perfectly capable of telling you to sod off when you're spouting bollocks.

 

Quoth Clausewitz:

War is the continuation of politics by different means.

Quoth the High Lord of Powerpoint:

Why do wars end, and why do some refuse to do?

We spend a lot of time on this channel focusing on how nations prepare for and fight wars - and comparatively little on the thinking that goes into bringing about their end - negotiated or otherwise.

In this episode I take a bit of a break to talk about the theory behind deciding when and how nations might chose to end a war, the various ways in which they might chose to do it - and all the reasons that pure rationality is a pretty imperfect framework for predicting the behaviour of nations.

Apologies for the late release, and I hope you all enjoy.

 

I know I know it's long but it's academics, what do you expect.


Every element of our common human future is present in the Russo-Ukrainian War. It recalls all of the half-forgotten precedents and warnings from the past, from the human capacity for genocide and atrocity to the need for an international legal structure. Yet, in a profound sense, it is a war for and about the future. Ukraine and Russia represent radically different models of society and government, and so it matters for the future of democracy which one prevails.

Yet beneath the surface this war is also about sustainable energy, the distribution of natural resources, and the possibility of truth in an age of digital propaganda. The war also raises, unmistakably, the need for ethical judgement at a time when it might appear that the major questions are all technical. For these reasons, we invite you to a wide-ranging discussion between two thinkers who bring together an expertise in the region with a concern for the broadest possible questions of international order and justice.

Ivan Krastev, Director of the Centre for Liberal Studies in Sofia and Permanent Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna.

Timothy Snyder is the Levin Professor of History and Global Affairs at Yale University and Permanent Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences.

Misha Glenny, Rector of the Institute for Human Sciences, moderated the discussion.

 

All hail the Lord of Powerpoint!


The Wagner mutiny of late June is likely one of the more dramatic events of the Russo-Ukrainian war in 2023, and one that caught many observers and the international audience off guard.

Despite being closely watched by people around the world - much about the mutiny remains unknown - from its true purpose to the details of how and why it seemed to suddenly end.

In this episode I look at what we know so far, ask what prospects the attempt had for success, what observations we can tentatively make, and what the impacts going forward might be.

 

A Russian conscript came to the conclusion that the war is unjust, and decided to sabotage the war effort.

He set out to blow up an ammunition dump, but ended up lighting a gas stove in the kitchen.

Dragged before military tribunal he was briefly tortured for betrayal but then made general for displaying superior incompetence.

 

See longer post (not by me) there, if all is true then they should fall under both the spam and mass lemm.ee rule breaking defederation rules, both bigotry and abusive language, though not always in combination.

Also the covenant thing Mastodon has would probably be a good idea.

 

Not including the lastest Wagner stunts as is expected from Perun.
