I hope so too, but measured and calm behavior is not what I’ve come to expect from Bibi unfortunately.

How do you negotiate with someone that just kidnapped and executed or planning to execute hundreds of civilians?

You don’t. There’s no negotiating with terrorists, it’s too late. There is no good solution. The best Israel can do right now is make every effort to target Hamas, minimize civilian casualties and try to rescue as many people as they can.

If they go nuts and start trying to exterminate in Gaza they’ll just fuel the next terrorist standoffs and keep this going for several more decades.

Depends. You do a lot better price-wise with dry beans.

If you consider drained weight, canned beans are usually about $1 for a 15oz can in my area, which yields about half a pound of drained beans. So, $2/lb

Chicken is anywhere from $1 to $8/lb but I’ve been averaging about $2/lb. It’s our main protein source and I watch for sales and stock up.

It’s not great to breathe in, but neither are chemical pesticides. It doesn’t really get kicked up in the air once it’s applied unless it’s actively disturbed.

If you’re going to use pesticides, they all come with tradeoffs and different situations you can use them.

Diatomaceous Earth. It’s a powder of microscopic fossils. It’s a good non-toxic pesticide because it doesn’t use poison but works like microscopic razor blades on bugs and mortally wounds them when they walk over it

No one is buying the ‘hur dur in the office is more productive’ bs anymore.

It totally is a silent layoff, but I think a large chunk of the older execs still actually believe the office is more productive. There’s also a large chunk executives who have investments in commercial real estate companies who are trying to put off the complete collapse of that market so they can get more of their money out before it all goes to shit.

We chose not to have children, but our friends are spending upwards of $2k/mo on daycare because both parents work full time in the office. It’s outrageous.
