The simplest answer is that they are getting it from Russian Propagandists. They repeat it because it riles their base and gets them engagement.

I'll add a scoop of coco powder and a dash of cinnamon to my coffee grounds. Gives it a deeper chocolate flavor with a spicy touch. If that's a bit too much, just a dash of either to your coffee cup would do.

I mean, photo was taken with a potato. Wifi router on the top, 15" laptop on the desk. Is 2015 really nostalgia worthy?

If you agree with Hamas, just a few links:

https://www.dni.gov/nctc/ftos/hamas_fto.html

https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-hamas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Hamas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governance_of_the_Gaza_Strip

And I could go on. There are no "good guys" in this conflict. Only human victims. What the Israeli government is doing is terrible and indefensible. I'll never pass your impossible purity test, so I'm not even going to try.

Hamas, the government of Palestine, is the enemy. The Palestinian people are humans and humans need help. The US has long standing treaties with Israel and we have to honor those. Not doing so would put a lot more people at risk and could lead to chaos around the world. The president is working through diplomatic channels to reign in Israel's response. In the meantime the US can send out humanitarian aid to those that need it.

Yeah... I'm only surprised that they shifted tactics so quickly. Fear, Unrest, and Doubt are the key tactics in Russian Disinfo campaigns. There's an old axiom: If someone is trying to make you feel strongly about something, then they are trying to sell you something. In this case, OP Is trying to piss people off in order to convince them of propaganda and Russian talking points.

21 day old account. Most posts are about not voting in the election to support Palestine. While what's happening in Gaza is genocide, this account smells like a Russian shill trying to spread FUD in the form of memes. The key part of diplomacy is not running around telling everyone what's being discussed in private. We shouldn't hear about potential deals until they are decided on. If Trump wins, he'll do the same thing Israel is currently doing to eliminate Hamas - which is to go through the Palestinian people.

It's a heritage of hate.

Yep. She's not an alternative to Trump. She's just a Trump clone with better make-up and more stylish heels. Same for Ron Desantis. I don't think Ramaswamy wore heels, otherwise the same could be said about him.

I work in the water testing industry, these test strips are so badly off that they're practically useless for anything other than a ballpark measurement. Litmus paper will really only tell you if it's less than 7. There are digital pH meters on amazon for about the same price that are much more accurate. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5IASHD/ref=twister_B0CT8QKCVB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Is one i've used for a similar purpose as the poster.

This is something easily testable. You can buy a cheap yet accurate pH tester online. The next time it rains, pull a sample and test the pH. If it's less than 7, then it's acidic. The lower the pH, the stronger the acid. The thing is, even purified water is listed in the USP (United States Pharmecopia) has having an allowable pH range of 5 - 8. Reason being that typically any acidity or basicity present is going to be easily neutralized with exposure to air.

I agree that Blizzard, and many other gaming companies, have continued to dig deeper into shittiness. The thing is, these lay-offs were not surgical or even tactical. They were lines on a spreadsheet and numbers in a column. In the corporate world this is what's called "Spreadsheeting". Column B was adjusted until Column C was in the range that the C-Suite wanted. Toxic employees are probably still there, shitty managers are still there. The office politics are still there. The people that were let go where simply the ones that made the columns easier to balance out.
