I don't get how in the Levant, where both Hamas and the Israelis have significant factions that want to genocide the other people, a situation where Hamas does the genociding (because an Israel without attack capability de facto also loses defense capability) is somehow more moral than a situation where Israel does it.

The problem is the very pro-death penalty camp wants the dying process - not the being dead part after - to be the punishment. The pro-humane camp is generally anti-death-penalty enough they don't get a seat at the method-decision table.
Alabama tried that and managed to screw it up. You have to remove the carbon dioxide in the exhales to prevent the feeling of suffocation, and they didn't provide enough nitrogen flow to do that. Took like twenty minutes of clearly desperate gasping and convulsions for the guy to pass.
I think it's likely really surprising to learn/experience that feces of a breastfed baby (and to a lesser extent formula fed babies) don't smell like shit. It's natural to want to share a surprising learning. Might also be good to be forewarned the milky smell ends once normal food is introduced.
Does Arizona not have an online free system? Illinois has a very hand-holding guided set of questions and has for years, it's always been our federal taxes that make my head hurt to fill out via the IRS's FreeFillableForms site.
Her son died of cancer as a young adult. I have wondered if the abdominal xray while she was pregnant contributed to that.
Modern industrial farming is not sustainable for the next hundred years, no, but there are a lot of levers to work to transform it into something that will reliably feed future generations.
One lever is amount and kind of meat in the average diet. It takes something like seven pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. Modern chicken breeds are amazingly efficient at converting feed grain to chicken meat, but even they are something like two pounds in to one pound out. Reducing the percent of meat in our diets would make our food go significantly further.
The plants use energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide from the air into edible calories. When our animal bodies "burn" the food we eat, that turns it back to carbon dioxide, which we exhale.
The energy input is the sun, and most of the calories come from the air (carbon dioxide). Given so much external input, harvesting from a plot without reducing soil fertility is totally possible. With nitrogen-fixing crops (soybeans being the poster child), even the nitrogen fertilizer comes from the air.
This is more like you measure the fragment speeds with both a laser and with radar, and get different readings off the same fragment.
It used to be more true, when straight chlorine was what was used. Now most municipalities use chloramine, which is more stable. Most plants don't care, but it's an issue for fish, so there are "water conditioner" products for aquariums that remove both chlorine and chloramine.
In some takes on the trolley problem (do nothing, five people are run over by a trolley an die, flip a track change switch and two people are run over by a trolley and die) flipping the switch is the morally worse option because then those two people's deaths are your fault, whereas the five people who die because you did nothing are someone else's fault. I don't agree with that take, but it's taken seriously in philosophy circles.
