Your local bike store should have a nice selection. I use my EV bike all the time and the car I keep for those few trips where the bike doesn’t work just sits… You should too. Don’t forget to check out the local transit options (and if - as is likely - they are bad demand better)

They hope to scare enough people to get a change. don’t let it work.

I don’t think these reach any refinery so that isn’t an option. What is best is anything that sows confusion.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/29/debris-from-north-korean-missile-found-in-kharkiv-say-un-sanctions-monitors The UN has now verified this.

The US (and other European partners) is sending BOTH ATACMS for missile launch sites, and also PATRIOT for targeting incoming missiles. Two different systems for a different purpose and Ukraine is getting both.

We know from many sources that North Korea is supplying Russia with missiles. We also know Russia is using missiles on Civilians. Do we really need any second source to connect the two?

One side? Both sides are doing this. The details are different, but both sides are being evil here.

As soon as the armies and governments that buy most of that stuff cares the industry will too. Now money talks end everyone cares about cost more than supply chain so the low cost supply chain wins. Pay more and you can get a different supply chain.

Abuse. I don’t agreewithfree speach in all things. I doupt anyone does. I don’t want to see constant (to the point of only) ads for vbucks. I don’t want threats to my person. There are a few other things like that, that I think we all agree on., I then have a personal list of things like porn or swearing that iidon’t want to see but some of you do. Where to draw theelineethus isn’t clear but there is one.

Japan and russia never agreedeto end wwii and have a dispute about some islands.

Nothing is exposed. There are things I want exposed, but I don’t want to keep security patches up to date, even if there is a zero day. I’m looking for someone trustworthy to hire for things that it would be useful to expose, but they are hard to find.

The whole goal of those changes is tough love to fix all the problems, so short term problems but in 2 years things improve for the better.

Administrations don’t have near as much control over the short term as you seem to think.

mobiles and desktops are very diffrerent and need different user incerfaces. So you are not savin, much work. In fact trying to handle both in on may be worse because of all the special cases. Be glad you don’t have to support teletypes, they demand different user interfaces.

Many believe that your so called help for the poor makes things worse for the poor in the long run. You don’t have to agree with their position, but you need to accept that they are reasonable people looking at facts and coming up with a different interpretation.

Do you also include civilians who are killed by someone else if we don’t take action? While “we” can do better about killing civilians, whoever “we” is, there is a “someone else” who will kill civilians as well - maybe a different group of civilians, but they will themselves do some killing.

Try which? I’ve seen many ideas, we cannot try them all. Some of the ideas have been tried as well, but the proposers don’t have enough history to know that or the results. Most of them will take decades to implement. This isn’t an easy problem.

That is one hypothesis. While it sounds reasonable, we don’t actually know if it would work. We also have no clue how to solve the underlying conflicts. (Other than simplistic things like turning the entire middle east to glass - killing many innocent people in the process).

Nobody knows how to stop terrorism. There are a lot of hypothesis. However they are either untested in the real world, or they have failed.

This is clearly about Hamas andithe various reactions to it. Not invoking Hamas is thus trying to hide something.

Why does everyone support Hamas in this? If Hama hadn’t kidnapped civilians we would not be here. But no everyone only blames Isreal.

sure Isreal should have done things differently, their response should have been better. However the options here are to support Isreal, or Support Hamas. There is no neutral as neural serves one side.
