Haha jokes aside I do like it.

Struggling Used Bookstore Has Tried Everything But Organizing Books By Genre And Author

That is very impressive! Although to be honest I question the accuracy of all those estimated power draws. I would be interested to see an endurance test of your battery- assuming your battery capacity is accurate, your runtime on a full charge should line up with your power draw.

I promise you I am here in good faith.

In context, saying you were only referring to colonists in settlements doesn’t really make sense, since I was talking about the Israel-Palestine conflict in general and the civilians who have died (most of whom have not been involved in any ilegal settlements)Also, it’s not like it’s a strawman argument - I have heard the argument that all Israelis are fair game many times here on Lemmy.

That is such a lazy take. All Israeli citizens are fair game to be killed because they are “a vital part of IDF operations”… first of all that’s so vague it doesn’t even mean anything. Farmers were a vital part of US military operations in WW2 but that doesn’t mean they were a valid military target. So were nurses, diplomats, and lots of other people you’re not allowed to kill.

Israel is a state recognized by like 90% of the UN (everyone except for the middle east), but because you personally don’t think they have a right to exist you are applying blanket amnesty to Hamas or anyone else that wants to kill Isrseli women and children.

No it would be like calling WW2 “the holocaust”. Sure, it was genocide and sure it was terrible but it is just one part of the conflict as a whole

But having family members who served in the IDF is a fair indicator of political views?

I mean that’s of the ethenet capable ones… a huge chunk are still serial

Just my perspective as a controls (SCADA engineer):

I work for a large power company. We have close to 100 sites, each with hundreds of IP devices, and have never had a problem with ipv4. Especially when im out in the field I love being able to check IPs, calculate gateways, etc at a glance. Ipv6 is just completely freaking unreadable.

I see the value of outward-facing ipv6 devices (i.e. devices on the internet), considering we are out of ipv4s. But I don’t see why we have to convert private networks to ipv6. Put more bluntly: at least industry, it just isn’t gonna happen for decades (if it ever does). Unless you need more IPs it’s just worse to work with. And there’s a huge amount of inertia- got one singular device that doesn’t talk ipv6 at a given generation site? What are you supposed to do?

Not a bot, thanks tho. I DO think Israel is committing genocide by the way, but that’s a loaded term that not everyone agrees with, and anyways it only covers part of the conflict as a whole, which also includes an awful lot of Israeli civillians being killed. Sorry if that’s too much nuance for you guys.

Couldn’t find any exact study, I guess it would depend on how you measure it, but everyone in this post says it’s very common.

And yeah, very few Jewish people in America are from Israel but lots of people from the US moved there from after WW2.

Right, but having Israeli relatives (as a large portion of the American Jewish population does) doesn’t make you an Israeli either, and it certainly doesn’t make you a Zionist as the article above claims. How would you feel if someone labeled you an Imperialist or Fascist just because you’re American?

Aight criticizing NYT staff for having “ties to Israel” is coming awfully close to just saying “NYT has too many Jews”. You do know that service in the IDF is mandatory for all Israelis right? Having a lot of Jewish staff didn’t stop them from bringing down Weinstein. Leftists hate identity politics except for this one particular instance.

Also, literally the NYT headline right now: Anger Over Starvation in Gaza Leaves Israel Increasingly Isolated

“Global outrage at the Netanyahu government’s actions has grown since the war began, and the suffering of children in the enclave has accelerated the disdain.”

I believe that is just because chewing gum increases salivation which helps keep bacteria in check

Plenty of industries have gone bankrupt over the years. They are not always bailed out, or at least not bailed out successfully. Some examples in the US: the textile industry, the furniture industry, and the slave trade. Coal is headed in the same direction because market forces (the cost of coal and pressure from environmentalists and by extension everyday consumers) are working against it.

Yes, there is no alternative to planes… some of the time. Everybody has a flight they have to catch every once in a while. But some people fly twenty times a year for pleasure, some people maybe only once a year. If you have a wedding or funeral invitation on the other side of the U.S., yeah you pretty much have to take a plane. But if you’re planning a vacation or travel to a couple states over, you absolutely do have the choice to just not fly.

Covid did not indicate a floor to air travel. As I already said, it was a situation where airlines had the choice between saving money in the short term (by stopping flights) or breaking their contracts with airports and losing money in the long term once traffic resumed. If the drop-off in travel had simply been due to permanent reduced demand for flying in general—due to, for example, people taking fewer long-distance flights for vacations due to increased concern over carbon emissions—they would have simply given up on those routes and reduced the number of flights permanently.

I was not talking about freight rail, I was talking about passenger rail. Lots of passenger rail companies went bankrupt - no consolidation, just your company went out of business because nobody wanted to take the train. I do know some sketchy shit went on to drive the nail into the coffin and lead to Amtrak but the long decline before that was due to the market forces of people having cars and wanting to use them.

Finally, yes I agree that there is no true “alternative” to airlines, nor is there a true “alternative” to consuming electricity. But, you can still choose to reduce your consumption of those things.

Sure, let me google that for you.

In general boycotts are less about driving a company to bankruptcy and more about getting them to change their behavior. Some companies are surprisingly immune to boycotts but many others have walked back their problematic behavior. Notably in recent memory in the US I can think of Barilla, Chick-fil-a and (by conservatives) Budweiser. The Montgomery bus line boycott is the stuff of history.

I mean, screw their economic calculus, if people stop flying they will go out of business. If people fly less, there will be fewer (and smaller) planes in the air. It’s not that complicated. I get that in practice most people can’t stop flying entirely but I’m exasperated by the leftist view that consumers are powerless because the global elites are using mind control to force us to fly to the Bahamas on holiday.

There is no “floor” to air travel, the same way there was no “floor” to passenger rail travel. Some of the most powerful and influential men in America fought tooth and nail to protect the railroad industry, but market forces (and, yes, to a lesser extent government policy, but mainly just people buying cars) eventually led to the near-collapse of the industry. Corporations can resist change but that doesn’t mean they are always successful.

Idk tree nuts have pretty low c02 impact because they aren’t farmed as intensively I think. Like, trees don’t need as much fertilizer as annual crops. Maybe.
