This is an engineering question and engineering questions almost always come down to "do you have enough time and money?"

Since the time scale is two weeks, we only need to know if the Israel had enough resources (bull dozers, wrecking balls, bombs, personnel etc. I don't have that information, but it doesn't sound impossible. If a man can be put on the moon, a city could be bulldozed in two weeks.

The person on the other end of the line was hamas.

foiled again by quick lemmers

There's a post from two days ago saying tomatoes, you weren't foiled, you just didn't bother to read the comments before posting.

Right. Blocking people for no other reason than "I disagree" or "I don't like that" turns the place in to an echo chamber. Like, if that's what you want, fine, but one reason I left Reddit was to get out of the echo chamber.

There are loads of vegans that are lovely, reasonable people, but unfortunately they get shadowed by the much less reasonable outspoken ones.

I'm a "carny" btw

One of my favourite things about super was to see the original Goku character come back. A goofy and loveable guy that's a savant when it comes to fighting and just wants a bigger challenge.

Hercule. Not only is he fucking hilarious but without him the fights against Cell and Buu would have been lost.

In the Cell games he showed incredible bravery to throw 16's head over to Gohan, enabling Gohan to hear the words he needed to go super sayin 2.

In the Buu saga, he befriended a monster, he showed kindness and compassion that was nearly able to end the fight before it even started. This later caused the good and evil buu's to split. Without Hercule, Goku would not have been able to power up the spirit bomb that finishes Kid Buu.

Nice. Congratulations to the junior doctors, well deserved.

To be fair, some phones already have that but they have much lower spec cameras/lenses, so it's currently a trade off.

If a flag ship phone were to find away to implement a flush top spec camera, it would still only be an incremental improvement rather than a great new technology or a substantial innovation.

Yh, I'm not for bailing out companies that are "too big to fail", I see it as socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor, but that's a separate debate.

Tech stocks were a interesting case as they bloated far beyond their actual value during COVID, what happened in 2023 was probably somewhat of a renormalization and now they're back to business as usual. There will always be peaks and valleys, but I'd be very surprised to see tech stocks fail in the long term.

I'm not going to argue that there has been no progress, just that it's not on the same scale.

Look at the difference between phones from 2004 to 2014, then from 2014 to 2024 and surely you'd have to agree. We're looking at huge leaps in tech and innovation Vs much smaller incremental improvements.

And I'd once again like to state that this is not a complaint, just a point of view showing that astonishing amounts of technological innovation are not necessarily required to keep companies in business.

The weather has finally warmed up here and now there plenty of super annoying houseflies. They're way to fast to swat and have an annoying habit of landing on you.

I've tried Google's suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don't seem to go for it at all.

I'm up for trying anything, please make suggestions!

Edit: Thank you to all for your suggestions. So far I've tried the idea of spraying them with surface cleaner which appears to work well

 

It's already well known at work that I don't just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them.

A colleague sent me a video of a man being murdered by axe via WhatsApp to my personal phone on my lunch break. Before I opened it I asked if it was a video that I would want to see (because I know what sort of character he is), he implied it was fine.

Despite my suspicion I took his word and watched it. I immediately scolded him, he then made light of the situation, I told him that it wasn't funny and that if it ever happened again I would be making a formal complaint immediately.

A couple of minutes later, another colleague came in to the mess room, the guy that sent the video made fun of me for not liking the video in front of them. I told him that he was making fun of me and that I wasn't ok with that.

Do I have the right to not be sent murder videos? What would an employer do if I made a complaint?

 

Hi all,

I've recently adopted an 8 year old ginger tom from the rescue centre. We don't know much of his history except for that his old owner passed away and no one else in the family was willing to take him.

We've have had him about 8 weeks and he does have some strange behaviour issues like being a little bit scratchy and bitey, but this mostly seems to be misdirected play and he has been improving whilst we try to be understanding and accommodating. Apart from that he's a lovely cat. He's quite clingy and always wants to know what you're up to!

Anyways, on to the question. Every know and then, when he is relaxing, not even asleep sometimes. He will launch him self out of his skin! It's obviously a fear reaction but I have no idea what sets him off. He recovers from this almost immediately and usually just starts relaxing again.

I wondered if anyone had any experience or advice of a cat that does this? I've had cats my whole life but I have never seen one do this before.
