We’ve already established hospitals are legitimate targets in this war, as seen by Israel directly bombing them. Not sure why this is even news.

Fun fact: we know that the keeping of domesticated cats spread to England at least by the time of the Roman occupation, because we found a 2000 yr old roof tile there with a cat’s pawprint in it. It’s funny to imagine a clayworker 2000 yrs ago yelling at the cat to stay off his tiles lol.
You realize you’re supposed to wash your produce when you get home, right? There’s still pesticides on there.
If my kindle played audio files / podcasts that would be half of what I use it for.
Unsolicited advice incoming!
Green beans stir-fried with tofu or something are great. Could also try broccoli stir-fried; if you manage to cook them just enough that they still have some snap, they’re great.
Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.
Spinach I only like fresh so I sympathize.
‘Greed is an unlimited resource’ absolutely slaps.
So you actually count by segments of the finger, using your thumb as a tapper. Crook your index finger and look at it - three segments, right? (At least for most people) The segment nearest your hand is 1, middle is 2, end is 3. Middle finger is 4, 5, 6, etc. So you can count up to 12 on four fingers.
Then you use your non-dominant hand to mark dozens. Count to 12 on your main hand, raise on finger on your second hand, repeat. So you can actually count to 60 just on your hands.
It ain’t the emissions, it’s the land use. About 40% of the USA’s land is used for animal agriculture. Another 8% is for literally all the other crops. Stop eating meat, and we could return about a third of the land in the US to nature, or other uses. That’s a lot of carbon capture / solar power plants etc.
Alright, everyone post your opinions.
I think Base 12 is superior to Base 10 for human use.
We could get most of the way to stopping climate change by just not eating meat.
Also, I liked Mass Effect 3 more than 1 or 2.
Thanks, I hate it.
Well shit, I’m dumb.
China limits social media because they repress free speech and political association. TikTok and other social media was a huge part of why there was such an outcry over the invasion of Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza. They doubly limit what kids can see because students are often hugely influential in political activism - especially in China, where students were an integral part of both the revolution(s) and Tiananmen Square. China’s gov is pants-shittingly terrified of another student-led revolution/crisis/etc and keep a very close watch on what the kids are saying and seeing.
Stupid. Kids are more informed and hooked into current events than ever before, specifically because of phones and the Internet. Hell, half of most peoples’ jobs are looking up reference material online. You want kids to succeed, hand them a big list of the best places to look for the answers and let them use their phones on the test.

Fair enough, I learned some things today. I was under the impression that indigenous languages were a lot more normalized than they actually are. I still think that using more indigenous language in everyday stuff is low-key a win, but for it to be commericalized while denying it elsewhere is just a slap in the face.
Enh, it’s at least a little more complicated than that. Native or mestizo people are much more common in Mexico than the US. For example, Nahuatl has somewhere between 1.3 and 1.7 million speakers, mostly in Mexico. This is not counting over a dozen other languages that have hundreds of thousands of speakers apiece (wiki. By comparison, in the entire US there were only about 372,000 people that speak any indigenous language.
Depending on how you want to look at it, this could be just…a normal name, or even a tribute to the Nahuatl community. Or just a cynical attempt to sell more cars by looking inclusive. How many people need to speak a language before it’s ‘normal’, after all? We don’t go asking Italians before we put stuff in Latin. Or the Irish before we sell St Paddy’s Day shirts. Etc.
The chat built into my hospital’s charting software has the ‘thumbs up’ react so you can quickly and easily show that you’ve read it. So for me it just means ‘heard’, ‘roger’, etc.
Martial law generally has legal mechanisms in place to provide some limitations to duration etc.
In other words, it would be an improvement over what is currently happening.
Look at all the space for a mini painting station
