How do you negotiate with someone that just kidnapped and executed or planning to execute hundreds of civilians?

You don't. There's no negotiating with terrorists, it's too late. There is no good solution. The best Israel can do right now is make every effort to target Hamas, minimize civilian casualties and try to rescue as many people as they can.

If they go nuts and start trying to exterminate in Gaza they'll just fuel the next terrorist standoffs and keep this going for several more decades.

It depends on how well it holds up, but I like having the option to keep it longer and better support usually means higher resale value if I do decide to upgrade in two years

Depends. You do a lot better price-wise with dry beans.

If you consider drained weight, canned beans are usually about $1 for a 15oz can in my area, which yields about half a pound of drained beans. So, $2/lb

Chicken is anywhere from $1 to $8/lb but I've been averaging about $2/lb. It's our main protein source and I watch for sales and stock up.

I'm coming from a 6 Pro and getting the 8 Pro. I'm pretty happy with what I've seen:

  • 7 years of software upgrades!!!!
  • Incremental improvements in processor & cameras
  • Free watch
  • The display isn't fucking curved

I hope there's a "Lemmy Is Fun" app eventually, but I haven't heard whether the original developer is interested. He's apparently working on something with Tildes.

It's not great to breathe in, but neither are chemical pesticides. It doesn't really get kicked up in the air once it's applied unless it's actively disturbed.

If you're going to use pesticides, they all come with tradeoffs and different situations you can use them.

Diatomaceous Earth. It's a powder of microscopic fossils. It's a good non-toxic pesticide because it doesn't use poison but works like microscopic razor blades on bugs and mortally wounds them when they walk over it

Hey now, that was for emergencies in case he lost his debit card and needed to buy $480K worth of groceries.

And it's totally a coincidence that his opinions line up perfectly with the people who regularly bribe him.

I'm talking about running stop signs, gunning it at yellow lights, not using turn signals, using turn signals but not turning, swerving into bike lanes and flinging open their doors without looking.

Infrastructure like protected bike lanes and robust public transit so fewer people feel the need to drive are great, but bad driving is bad driving.

Ocean liners are all but extinct. They've been supplanted by cruise ships which are utterly horrific for the environment.

I was so excited to finally live in a city where I could actually ride a bike to work most of the year until I actually tried it.

Drivers are assholes, have no awareness of their surroundings, the rules of the road and they give zero shits.

Nope nope nope. I'll walk to the train
