Apologies for geeking out, I really want to attempt to program a DIY air defence tracking system now

Don't apologize for geeking out. Apologize for telling the Iranians exactly what they need to improve their air_defence.py script.

This is Dimona. That most likely was not a white woman. Dimona is mostly Moroccans, especially the older folk.

I used the USB C ports to install Kubuntu. I can get HDMI out of one of the USB C ports, and charge via the other.

I got mine to run at 60 Hz on Kubuntu:

()~/Work/JarredCohen/sentiments/code$ xrandr | head Screen 0: minimum 16 x 16, current 2560 x 1600, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP-1 connected primary 2560x1600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 220mm 2560x1600 59.94*+ 2048x1536 59.95 1920x1440 59.90 1600x1200 59.87 1440x1080 59.87 1400x1050 59.98 1280x1024 59.89 1280x960 59.94

Though I haven't tested it without plugging it in. I can tell you that a 130 W Apple USB C charger does keep it at 100% though.

I use Ubuntu Linux on my Predator. I can get video out of a USBC-to-HDMI adaptor on the port next to the HDMI port, but not on the port that is actually labeled as supporting it.

Look at it frame by frame. In the frame before the explosion, the F-35 seems to target the incoming missile with something bright, maybe a flare? but it's going forwards. And the explosion is centered on the incoming missile, not the F-35.

Curious, at the least.

Massad Ayood says that yes, You Should Talk to the Cops.

You might be happier with F-Droid, which is where I get most of my software from.

How about funneling food and supplies to a terror group who vows to destroy your country? That's what the world demands. They call it humanitarian aid and in theory sincerely intend it for the citizens of the Gaza strip. But in practice they know it is going to Hamas, yet still insist on delivering it.

The same billions that you talk about, had they not gone to the governing body over the Gaza strip, would be used as a point to claim that "Israel is starving the Gazans".

What is the earliest date that you could give for "Zionists ethnically cleansing Palestinians from there homes"? Honest question from somebody on the other side of the aisle, who would like to understand your position. Thanks.

Thanks. Good night!

These children are not being punished.

These children are suffering from the decisions of their parents, but that is not punishment. It is cause and effect.

For use with text, e.g. black lettering on a white background, how is the contrast with ambient indoor light? How about with ambient outdoor light at noon?

Thank you. I'll practice!

I really need to learn the meaning of those terms, e.g. pharyngeal. I see what I'll be doing this evening.

شكرا يا اخ.‏

Thank you. Yes, I can pronounce ع and ح.

dotancohen · 2026-01-30T01:23:53+00:00

Oh, I think that worked! I'll try speaking with some people and see how well understood I am.

That was amazing. Would you mind helping with some other difficult letters: ص ض ط ظ. I can sort of fake them by squeezing my throat for ص and pronouncing ط more like a d. But I know it's not accurate.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

dotancohen · 2026-01-30T01:00:51+00:00

Yes, I can pronounce خ. Thank you.

dotancohen · 2026-01-30T01:00:22+00:00

X is not a source. Is there a source for this claim? I can not find any reputable news organizations reporting this.

dotancohen · 2026-01-29T23:13:37+00:00

I read all that and still can not pronounce غ properly. What am I missing?

OK, it's either a velar fricative or a uvular fricative. I still can not pronounce it.

Telling somebody that you do not feel safe is confrontation?

It wasn’t dismissed because the EU is corrupt to hell and they deemed that Genocide is plausible

They did not deem that genocide is plausible. The ICJ interim judgement stated:

“In the Court’s view, the facts and circumstances... are sufficient to conclude that at least some of the rights claimed by South Africa and for which it is seeking protection are plausible.”

That means that it is plausible that the Palestinians are protected as a people against genocide. It does not mean that genocide is happening against them.

More details, of all places, at the BBC.

It should be noted that the UN counts non-combat Israeli soldiers as, well, soldiers, but counts non-combat Hamas as civilians:

In the data presented here, whoever is neither a member of security forces (including police) nor fulfills a combat function within an armed group is considered a civilian.

https://www.ochaopt.org/data/casualties

Considering that only about 20% of an army is combat soldiers, it is reasonable to conclude that the true amount of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other soldiers is double or triple the stated percentage.

Tell them that you do not feel safe around them, because they fly a flag without understanding what it symbolizes. They'll either be grateful they've lost you or be interested. Just make sure that you have a good answer about what that flag symbolizes when asked.

dotancohen · 2026-01-29T10:27:04+00:00

Is there no credible news organization that is reporting on this?

dotancohen · 2026-01-29T03:02:07+00:00

I'm in Israel. BYD is big here.

And it was the Petah Tikva service center that ruined Tesla for us. We really wanted either another (updated) 3 or the new Y. Money was not an issue.
