I disagree. Good people love bomb. People that love bomb don’t always do it for nefarious (from their perspective) reasons.

I’m a former mormon, and I can tell you that love bombing (from a cultists perspective) is never from ill intent. They are just trying to share “the truth” and they believe that if you adopt “the truth” everything about your life will be made better.

If someone is love bombing you for an organization, first thing to do is investigate that organization. Read the stuff they don’t want you to read. Particularly, don’t pull that information from their media/materials. You should seek out the opinions of ex-members of the organization to get a real feel for what it’s all about.

For example, imagine if the rotary club was trying to recruit you. What do you think an exrotarian would say? Well, you can google it. And, surprise, it’s mostly “Yeah, I moved and just sort of lost interest”.

Now go visit /r/exmormon and see the miles of shit they have to say about previous membership.

That, to me, is the acid test. Are exmembers that way because it was just sort of a “meh” event. Or did they get there because the organization was abusive?

2 tips.

1. Negative air pressure is your friend. If you open the windows upstairs and down and blow air out of the house it’ll suck air from the downstairs to the upstairs cooling the entire house.

2. Bernoulli’s principle is your friend. Rather than having fans right next to the windows you’ll move more air if you back the fans a meter or so from the window. https://youtu.be/BhWhTbins_A?si=9LGd0_EmfPFBNnDJ

At least in the US, it’s not just Netanyahu that’s an issue. A lot of the mainstream media is making the same conflation.

That’s why you’ll see in articles like this one https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/nyregion/columbia-university-campus-protests.html which focus far more on students saying dumb shit at a protest and less on the ongoing genocide.

And you have to take what is being claimed as “antisemitic” with a huge grain of skepticism. I’ve seen claims that statements like “free Palestine” and “from the rivers to the seas” are “antisemitic”.

This is problematic because even if you wanted to address antisemitism, focusing on people protesting a genocide is not the way to go. Instead, let’s focus on the avowed Nazis parading around CPAC. Or maybe the Nazis in favor of Israel’s genocide. Maybe we should wrestle with why antisemities are so often pro Israel.

We may never know exactly how many people israel has butchered over the last 6 months. They are currently planning on building luxury condos over the mass graves of Palestinians.

The 30,000 confirmed dead is almost certainly under counted by a factor of 10x. And the genocide isn’t over yet. They are starving the survivors.

Yes and no.

Some salts are easier to work with than others. Kosher salt, in particular, is fairly hard to over season with because you can visually see just how much you’ve thrown onto a steak or such. Fine salt, on the other hand, is a lot easier to over season with.

But then it also depends a lot on the dish. Sauces are really hard to over season. The sea of fluid can absorb a fair amount of salt before it’s noticeable. Meats are similar. A steak can have a snow covering of kosher salt and it won’t really taste super salty.

Bread, on the other hand, will be noticeably worse if you throw in a tbs of salt instead a tsp.

But salt wasn’t specifically what I was thinking when I wrote that. Herbal seasoning garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, etc, generally won’t overpower a dish if you have too much of them. Especially if you aren’t working with the powdered form. (Definitely possible to over season something with garlic salt/powder).

I’m pretty much the same way, though I do throw in a bit of fine salt on occasion for the iodine content. I don’t eat a ton of seafood which makes getting the rda of iodine difficult.

Salt :D

Lots of home cooks are shy with seasoning in general (but especially salt). While not impossible, it’s fairly hard to over season stuff.

That’s why if you ever look at “miracle season alls” the first ingredients are usually something like “Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder”.

If you want to be amused, look at these ingredients lists. Often the only difference is what food coloring is used.

For example.

Israel got in hot water internationally the last time for doing exactly the same thing. So blaming Hamas is an easy trick to pull to try and detract from the ongoing mass starvation they are directly responsible for.

It’s really gross.

They did the exact same thing when they first blew up a hospital. Then they proceeded to blow up all the hospitals after the major news outlets stopped covering it.

Ditto with murdering literally over 100 journalists to try and suppress independent coverage of their ongoing genocide.

You can’t trust fascists propaganda to accurately report fascist genocide.

You can eventually trademark once you get big enough. As with all things law it’s a bit tricky. However, the default is that geographic locations aren’t trademarkable.

It’s even neater. The name of towns/cites cannot be trademarked. The safest thing you can do when naming a project is naming it after a town so you don’t run into legal troubles in the future.

There’s a Twitter link here from the IDF. The comments show exactly what they are thinking “these are ants, look how funny it is that we killed 100 of them”.

Literally people cheering for a military shooting at starving people. Christ this is what Nazis look like.

How long before Israel starts ironically selling arab skinned lamps?

There is when you paint every brown person as Hamas.

Ah yes, because we’ve all forgotten that time 3 Jewish hostages with their hands up, shirts off, and waving a white flag, were gunned down by Israel’s military.

What does “surrender” mean when the current occupiers are killing everything that moves?

Makes sense that Israel assesses that they have less resources than the US, and thus can’t fight the same way and have a hope of success.

Israel has one of the most powerful militaries in the region, with 500,000 troops, a $20 billion dollar budget, and shared tech with the US. They have no external bases to maintain. They’re terrorists who live at the border in 140 square miles with roads Israel designed to allow their tanks easy access.

In the first week of this genocide, Israel dropped more bombs than the US did during the entire Afghanistan war. On one of the most population dense regions in the world.

But further, Israel immediately cut power and water to Gaza. 2 million people went without water and electricity to attack how many Hamas terrorists?

And let’s be clear, this all happened because IDF forces were busy in the West Bank evicting Palestinians from their homes for settlers leaving the Gaza border unguarded.

AFAIK, the main bottleneck is data storage. Related to processing power, but also IO and having a central source of truth.

Voltage * Amps tells you how fast the water will boil. So lower voltage can be fixed with higher amps.

The UK runs at 230V and 13A, ~3kW max. The US is typically at 120V and 15A, 1.8kW max. Though 20A circuits exist, 2.4kW.

We are certainly further than I like. My fears are more around what starts happing at the poll booth. Or during vote counting. I worry about what starts happening to election workers.

Not a huge fan of the GOP ramping up political violence, even against their own members.

Pretty dangerous.

I using and deploying to kubernetes. Nerdctl has a docker API but it’s completely backed by k8s. So, for regular dev I’d just need a k8s cluster and not k8s + something else to build the images and push them into the k8s image repository.
