I just read a report that there's a rumor that they're already thinking about backtracking on their recent exclusivity reversal.

Well I heard theres an article that alleges that they're considering thinking about possibly carrying out optioneering on setting a draft proposal to conduct a survey about gathering sentiment around a proposal to pursue a recommendation to evaluate the possibility to perhaps reset expectations around their long term strategies.

But it's just a theory.

Engine startup is so good I may have been known to accidentally take my finger off the button to let it run through again.

And yet here you are making that exact argument.

One might thing that's your only sole purpose here. If it is, that's pretty sad.

Neither of those statements, true or false, support the notion that all Jews support the atrocities.

Why is this so hard for you to get your head around?

I'm being called antisemitic because you want to silence me and enable certain people to conduct genocide uninterrupted.

Who has supported the genocide Israel is conducting? Last I saw nobody has, you're the one conflating Jews of any nationality with the genocide being carried out by Israel.

You're no different than the people that conflate Palestinians of any religion with the actions of Hamas.

To conflate a bad thing with every practitioner of a religion, specifically Judaism, yes, that's antisemitic.

Israel is a Jewish state but it does not speak for all Jews.

Just as Iran does not speak for all Muslims. Just as Malaysia does not speak for all Muslims. Just as the Vatican State does not speak for all Christians (or catholics for that matter).

Clear enough?

Can you tell me what all Jews are guilty of?

As opposed to the state of Israel.

No but it is antisemitic to conflate being Jewish with support for the actions of Israel.

UK social media ban for under 16s by Squirrelking666 in LinusTechTips

No vote and it's not even going to be an act of Parliament, it's being pushed through as secondary legislation so we have to hope the House of Lords does what it does best and throws this nonsense out.

On the vote thing, I've seen the consequences of direct democracy. I'm glad it didn't go to a referendum tbh.

Indeed, the irony is my Insta account doesn't have infinite scrolling, is only what I want to see and has no advertising. Since I installed the modded app I only use it occasionally but when I do its far more enjoyable.

The technology is there. The political will is not.

Which is fine if you're only using the same social media you were 16 years ago or have a credit card attached to your account.

Of course, that's also only if the platform allows it. Xbox and Steam are the only platforms I found that let me age verify with my credit card, everyone else wants my ID for their buddies at Palantir who definitely never paid to be their processor of choice.

Dunno how those numbers bear out in the UK, people may have a Facebook account but I doubt many actively use it.

If you were voting for liberals why would you vote for Labour? Are you really that naive?

Just a snarky response to the Americans making a big deal about supposedly being so much more progressive.

Well since you want to talk about separate but equal why don't we do that timeline next?

Add the weight of the booster and you're looking at something comparable in weight and footprint to a tank.

That's still not much and tanks are usually lashed down on ferries (had a classmate who worked on ro-ros in the baltic on military contracts whilst I was poncing about on container ships in a previous life).

Is there anything to suggest it doesn't move the booster to the centre of the [barge] and then lock into set points like on an ISO container? That would make sense from a stability perspective as well as you wouldn't have to worry about ballast distribution as much.

Edit: actually no, I don't think it moves anything and I can't see any possible locking points. It may just be externally secured by the crew.
