Consistent braking or no battery fire; can't have both.

Truly a pinnacle of engineering.

Unlike the Houthis, they're away from home with few creature comforts.

The US Navy sailed half way around the world, enforced a blockade meant to starve out the Houthis (participated in a genocide), provided the planes and munitions to the Saudis to bomb them, and now are doing the bombing themselves to aid a different genocide.

And they complain about not having enough treats while doing it.

What a blood boiling video. A perfect little island size microcosm of the evils of capitalism and imperialism.

It rings of the white man's burden wrapped in "woke" language.

I think Israel fully expects the US to commit forces to a fight against Hezbollah and bail them out, especially if it looks like they might lose. Despite some PR hand-wringing, Biden has been fully behind Israel so far and seems like a true believer in the zionist project. I could see how they'd do the math and see this as their best shot to get the US to fight Hezbollah for them.

I wouldn't make that bet with how the Ukraine war is going, but who knows?

From his coverage of the Israeli argument:

While the court was in session, Germany has announced it will intervene in the substantial case to support Israel. They argue explicitly that, as the world’s greatest perpetrator of genocide, they are uniquely placed to judge. It is in effect a copyright claim. They are protecting Germany’s intellectual property in the art of genocide. Perhaps they might in future license genocide, or allow Israel to continue genocide on a franchise basis.

hahaha

Roboquest! It's a roguelite shooter. Fast paced game play, good balance, music is all bangers, and a bright, Borderlands-ish art style. I'm addicted.

I'm really looking forward to Esoteric Ebb. It's billing itself as Disco Elysium in 5e which is very much my shit.

Millennials did that with Pink Floyd when they were getting into music, it happens.

Gen alpha will probably be insufferably into the Strokes.

I really like Radiohead's music but they've been politically bad for a long time. They were really into the "Free Tibet" shit back in day and would hang Tibet flags on their equipment at shows.

The child high fived me. Then he offered it down low. But when I went for the low five he pulled his hand back and said "too slow!" This proves how evil Hamas is.
