This is an engineering question and engineering questions almost always come down to "do you have enough time and money?"
Since the time scale is two weeks, we only need to know if the Israel had enough resources (bull dozers, wrecking balls, bombs, personnel etc. I don't have that information, but it doesn't sound impossible. If a man can be put on the moon, a city could be bulldozed in two weeks.
It was introduced under the Tories but massively expanded by new labour. The article says that the money won't be syphoned off by investors and shareholders but I'm extremely sceptical. The only solution is nationalisation.
I can only speak for the UK but since the 2009 banking crisis the poor have gotten poorer and the rich have gotten richer. Meanwhile the press have very successfully focused attention on to migrants.
A lot of people truly believe that they are poor, not because the richest are picking their pockets, but because the poorest are.
It's not going to be fair unless the average person has the ability to rent a council house.
The right to buy is completely useless to people who are paying £1000pcm to the slum lord.
foiled again by quick lemmers
There's a post from two days ago saying tomatoes, you weren't foiled, you just didn't bother to read the comments before posting.
They're fairly popular in the UK
Right. Blocking people for no other reason than "I disagree" or "I don't like that" turns the place in to an echo chamber. Like, if that's what you want, fine, but one reason I left Reddit was to get out of the echo chamber.
There are loads of vegans that are lovely, reasonable people, but unfortunately they get shadowed by the much less reasonable outspoken ones.
I'm a "carny" btw
One of my favourite things about super was to see the original Goku character come back. A goofy and loveable guy that's a savant when it comes to fighting and just wants a bigger challenge.
Hercule. Not only is he fucking hilarious but without him the fights against Cell and Buu would have been lost.
In the Cell games he showed incredible bravery to throw 16's head over to Gohan, enabling Gohan to hear the words he needed to go super sayin 2.
In the Buu saga, he befriended a monster, he showed kindness and compassion that was nearly able to end the fight before it even started. This later caused the good and evil buu's to split. Without Hercule, Goku would not have been able to power up the spirit bomb that finishes Kid Buu.
True, but that's not the point. It'd clearly be unrealistic to equate the crime to things like rape or murder.
The man's obviously sick in the head but at least didn't attack a child irl.
Nice. Congratulations to the junior doctors, well deserved.
It's my understanding that it's actually a pretty typical sentence. He's obviously sick in the head but has been judged as little risk to children.
To be fair, many phones already have that but they have much lower spec cameras/lenses, so it's currently a trade off.
If a flag ship phone were to find away to implement a flush top spec camera, it would still only be an incremental improvement rather than a great new technology or a substantial innovation.
Yh, I'm not for bailing out companies that are "too big to fail", I see it as socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor, but that's a separate debate.
Tech stocks were a interesting case as they bloated far beyond their actual value during COVID, what happened in 2023 was probably somewhat of a renormalization and now they're back to business as usual. There will always be peaks and valleys, but I'd be very surprised to see tech stocks fail in the long term.
I'm not going to argue that there has been no progress, just that it's not on the same scale.
Look at the difference between phones from 2004 to 2014, then from 2014 to 2024 and surely you'd have to agree. We're looking at huge leaps in tech and innovation Vs much smaller incremental improvements.
And I'd once again like to state that this is not a complaint, just a point of view showing that astonishing amounts of technological innovation are not necessarily required to keep companies in business.
On the contrary, I absolutely appreciate it. I was about 15 when mobile phones first became a thing that everyone owned, so I've lived through the entire progression from when they were something only a well to do businessman would have all the way through to today. The first iPhone was 2007, 17 years ago btw.
When mobile phones became popular, each new generation of phones saw HUGE improvements and innovation. However, the last ten years has pretty much just been slight improvements to screen/camera/memory/CPU. Form wise and functionally, they're very similar to the phone of ten years ago.
I understand that some technophiles will always be able to justify why the new iPhone is worth £1600 and if that's what they want to spend their money on then good for them, but I personally think that they are kidding themselves. Today you can get a brilliant phone for £300 or even less.

The weather has finally warmed up here and now there plenty of super annoying houseflies. They're way to fast to swat and have an annoying habit of landing on you.
I've tried Google's suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don't seem to go for it at all.
I'm up for trying anything, please make suggestions!
Edit: Thank you to all for your suggestions. So far I've tried the idea of spraying them with surface cleaner which appears to work well
Carlo Acutis, who was born in London, is set to become the first millennial to be canonised.
It's already well known at work that I don't just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them.
A colleague sent me a video of a man being murdered by axe via WhatsApp to my personal phone on my lunch break. Before I opened it I asked if it was a video that I would want to see (because I know what sort of character he is), he implied it was fine.
Despite my suspicion I took his word and watched it. I immediately scolded him, he then made light of the situation, I told him that it wasn't funny and that if it ever happened again I would be making a formal complaint immediately.
A couple of minutes later, another colleague came in to the mess room, the guy that sent the video made fun of me for not liking the video in front of them. I told him that he was making fun of me and that I wasn't ok with that.
Do I have the right to not be sent murder videos? What would an employer do if I made a complaint?
Watching this video (probably 15 years ago) was the moment I realised I was left wing.

It wasn't a very long game but I had 0 inaccuracies, 0 mistakes and 0 blunders!
The London is the first opening I've learnt, I've been practicing it for a while now and I'm feeling like I'm getting good at it.
Maybe it's time to learn another opening. Any suggestions?
Hi All,
I accidentally ordered a double of this album, I'll send it to to one of you guys free of charge if you're willing to DM me your address (only willing to post to UK addresses).
First come first serve!
Hi,
I already have a good tool kit, drill, needle files etc, so I'm mainly looking for a kit that doesn't needlessly double up on tools that I already have but I'm here for your advice so I'll look at anything you recommend.
Ideally the kit would have enough bits and pieces that I could store it and keep it for future punctures also, but I could just order a multiple of single use kits if that is what you'd recommend.
Please let me know! Thanks.
Hi All,
I have a savings account for purpose of which is to save up for "new teeth". My own teeth are all rammed full of fillings, the bottom row are not straight to say the least and two on the top row have irremovable stains and one needs a root canal. I hate my teeth so I would like a much more permanent solution to all my problems, I've also always had confidence issues about my smile. (I didn't look after my teeth well when I was young, but that's another story)
My aim is to save for all on four or all on six permanent dentures type thing. As a route to get decent looking teeth with no pain or infection problems. I have a savings account which I put in to every month to save for this and I think it will take another three or four years until I can afford them.
Last night, my girlfriend of about two years who is currently moving in asked how much I had saved in it. We are a little tight on money right now, I work full-time but she has been struggling to get more than 9 hours a week that she has to travel quite far for. I took her question as a bit of a threat quite frankly, that if she knew that I had a fair amount saved, then I might seem like a tight arse for not being more generous with money situations. She does know that I hate my teeth and that I want to save to get them fixed.
I said "none of your business" and I do now regret the tone that I used.
The next morning she was in tears saying things like she couldn't understand why I would keep a secret like that.
I have expressed to her that I regret seeming quite abrasive about what was possibly a fully innocent question on her part and explained that I thought personal savings were a private matter. I wouldn't ask her how much her savings were for example.
I now understand that some couples have full financial transparency with eachother. But I for some reason feel quite uncomfortable about that right now. I currently pay all the bills which is fine, I've been paying for everything myself for the last eight years or so and she does want to start contributing a bit which is great. I don't have any secret debts or anything like that to hide.
I know I could have handled the situation better but I'm wondering if I'm an arsehole for not telling her how much savings I have for a purpose of which I'm already considering as spent money?
Hi all,
I've recently adopted an 8 year old ginger tom from the rescue centre. We don't know much of his history except for that his old owner passed away and no one else in the family was willing to take him.
We've have had him about 8 weeks and he does have some strange behaviour issues like being a little bit scratchy and bitey, but this mostly seems to be misdirected play and he has been improving whilst we try to be understanding and accommodating. Apart from that he's a lovely cat. He's quite clingy and always wants to know what you're up to!
Anyways, on to the question. Every know and then, when he is relaxing, not even asleep sometimes. He will launch him self out of his skin! It's obviously a fear reaction but I have no idea what sets him off. He recovers from this almost immediately and usually just starts relaxing again.
I wondered if anyone had any experience or advice of a cat that does this? I've had cats my whole life but I have never seen one do this before.
My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I'm aiming for quietness and reliability over power.
I'm quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D
