Well, the equations that predict black holes also predict white holes, and the big bang is functionally equivalent to a white hole. And we have found black holes. So…seems like the most plausible explanation for the big bang is…it was a white hole. Still can’t extrapolate backwards for the same reasons, but there are at least implicit causes of white holes suggesting there was spacetime before the big bang.

What did they do with the jawas

Quote from article:

"A deal is on the table” that “the entire world is behind,” Blinken told a news conference. “Israel has accepted it, and Hamas could have answered with a single word: yes.”

In the event, Hamas took 12 days to issue its official reply. “You get to a point where, if one side continues to change its demands, you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not,” Blinken said.

No

FYI the United States has always maintained a first-strike policy as official nuclear doctrine. There is no language restricting nuclear weapons to just nuclear retaliation.

This is the standard component in smoke rounds to actually produce the smoke. This is what Israel is using white phosphorus for, but the article is biased and never mentions it. The US and many other countries use white phosphorus based smoke munitions too, and it is not a war crime. The militant areas of Gaza are all densely populated, and smoke is often necessary during combat.

Did any of you commenters read past the headline? He’s saying we should have stood up to Hitler sooner, but instead ended up forced to make the costly, brutal D-Day landings. He is advocating for us to stand up to Putin sooner.

The linked article is from a month ago, this is not current news.

The article says the post was made by an employee in India. Seems like a cultural misunderstanding.

There’s only so many times you can step on a human turd in the middle of the sidewalk downtown before you agree with Grant’s Pass.

Defensive response? North Korea invaded South Korea and almost won in the 1950s, until the UN forces pushed them back from the end of the peninsula and an armistice was reached.

Why don’t you fly to Tel Aviv, buy some food, and take a taxi to the border to walk into Gaza hand out food yourself?

No, the whole argument of the damages amount was that it needed to be high enough to actually matter to this particular individual. Are you at all familiar with the case? The court agreed it needed to be high enough to be punitive.

It’s a joke, dummy

McDonald’s is still cheap but only if you use the app for deals and points. They want to drive people to the app to eventually hire one less employee at each store, which will save them more money. They keep the app cheaper to drive this change.

The article says the torched car was parked in front of someone’s house. Presumably, SOMETHING happened to escalate into violence. And what was that? Nobody lights a random car on the street by their house on fire for no reason.

Sensationalist reporting.

It’s…phone call handling. What about that needs to be in a specific room?

Your company paid you to do a specific job. I don’t imagine the job expectations were to physically apprehend thieves; that’s what security is for. You could have been stabbed or shot. Your employer’s bottom line is not worth your life. However pissed off it makes you feel that some asshole makes off with store items, you’re not the store owner. I get that it sucks, but your firing is because of liability, not because you tried to do the “right thing”

Sounds like where you live sucks. But it’s always possible to have something random and unlikely happen even in the safest of places. Getting bitten by a shark doesn’t mean sharks all need to die. You’re just exceptionally unlucky.
