So for the light on the left, am I supposed to select the left most boxes in the first and second row? Or do I select one box that contains most of the light. Asking for a friend.

Whether Trump likes it or not, EVs are happening and it's because of every other government. So he's trying now to stop the snow ball which is now half way down the hill and 10 times the size. BMW, VW, Mercedes, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, etc etc aren't going to stop the transition. All that will happen is the US will be left behind. The rest of the world will be weaning off oil and the US will be left with no option eventually, but will not be a major player in the tech because of these anti EV policies. Or are they simply viewed as anti tesla as tesla is already established???

You answered your own question... "I chose earbuds from NOTHIHG because according to reviews they are really good for the money."

What characterises the musical style of the 2020s, 2010s and 2000s? (self.asklemmy)

Every decade has its musical style that generally makes it easy to place what decade a song was written in if you haven't heard it before.

40s big band

50s rock and roll

60s essentially has its genre named after the decade or at least I can't think of anything I'd call a genre.

70s punk and beginnings of heavy metal, disco

80s electro synth, rap

90s grunge, dance, R&B, trance

Etc etc. Obviously these don't entirely define the music of the decade but are highly recognisable genres that can more often than not pinned down to a decade.

So my question is, since the 2000s I don't see as much differentiation but that might be because I'm too old (44) and not as exposed to be music as I was in my teens, so help me pretend I'm "hip" and "with it" by giving me some clues. I'm curious to know what you think defines the music of the 2020s, what defines the 2010s and what defines the 2000s. I.e. When someone says they are going to listen to noughties music what do they put on? Etc. Or have we reached a point where music has been explored to the point new genres are much rarer to establish?

Supporters of Israel's actions in Gaza - why do you think the Geneva convention should not apply? (self.asklemmy)

The Geneva convention was established to minimise atrocities in conflicts. Israeli settlements in Gaza are illegal and violate the Geneva convention. Legality of Israeli settlements Article 51 of the Geneva convention prohibits indiscriminate attacks on civilian population yet Israel attacked hospitals with children inside. Whether you agree or not that Hamas were present, children cannot be viewed as combatants.so when no care was taken to protect them, does this not constitute a violation? According to save the children, 1 in 50 children in Gaza had been killed or injured. This is a very high proportion and does not show care being taken to prevent such casualties and therefore constitutes a violation.

So my question is simply, do supporters of Israel no longer support our believe in the Geneva convention, did you never, or how do you reconcile Israeli breaches of the Geneva convention? For balance I should add "do you not believe such violations are occurring and if so how did you come to this position?"

Answers other than only "they have the right to go after Hamas " please. The issue is how they are going after Hamas, not whether they should or not.

EDIT: Title changed to remove ambiguity about supporting Israel vs supporting their actions
