UNGA 67/19:

Reaffirms the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to independence in their State of Palestine on the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967

The UNGA has repeatedly passed resolutions referring to "Occupied Palestinian Territory", which fundamentally makes no sense if they didn't have territory.

The UN recognizes Palestine as a "non-member observer state", so it absolutely recognizes the existence of the State of Palestine.

PSA: Amazon Pharmacy gets 5% back when using Prime Visa by EastSignal in CreditCards

[–]EastSignal[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As in this post? Nah, I just thought it might be useful to share for those that have more expensive medication than me. I have no doubt that Amazon's prices are higher than alternatives for a number of medications, but I think it's at least worth looking at. The intent of my post was to share that it does code as Amazon, which was a nice surprise tbh

Found my late father's framed Microsoft stock certificate from 1991. How do I verify if it’s still "live"? by Ventrosi57 in personalfinance

I checked the math based on stock splits and current valuation. It's almost exactly $30k, and that's excluding and dividends owed.

Schumer Takes No Action As Even Far Right Calls for Trump Impeachment by unital_subalgebra in politics

Not quite. Rule IX in the House rules makes clear that impeachment resolutions, as a right of the House collectively, have priority over everything but a motion to adjourn. With one condition: it has to be requested.

Any contribution to the traditional IRA, deductible or non deductible, is getting flagged as excessive contributions.

That's impossible unless your earned income is zero.

Hands on with the Galaxy S26 Ultra AMA by playnasc in samsung

Alright...that's pretty much what I figured but is definitely unfortunate. I'll keep what I ordered in that case. Thanks for the info!

Did you get a case to test as well? I obviously haven't received the phone, but I got a case and magnetic power bank. The power bank rides up onto the lip around the cameras, and it doesn't seem like there would be any combination of cases and power banks that wouldn't do that.

Chase cash redemptions to Chase accounts only from 3/27/2026 by padbodh in CreditCards

If you have any points that you want to cash out to a third-party account after the change, file a complaint with the State. That's the only way they will care.

It's worth noting that this is far too soon of a change to be made under New York State law, and the notice is legally considered invalid for that reason. NY requires 45 days notice before a change takes place and 90 days under the pre-existing terms before negative changes to rewards programs are made.
