What a weird non-sequitur comment

Mitigation is a relative term. Biden's policies are going a long way to mitigate harm done compared to Trump's. You may not like it, but that's reality.

You're not actually doing anything to prevent or mitigate genocide. You can pretend you're anti-genocide all day long, but at the end of the day you're doing absolutely nothing about it. And the one thing you can do to mitigate, vote for the candidate that is calling for restraint, you're refusing to do.

So you say you're anti-genocide but your actions are 100% pro-genocide. You can lie to yourself but that doesn't change reality.

I thinking Bowman might have missed the Overton window in his district:

Bowman’s troubles started last fall, when he began speaking out in the days after Oct. 7 as one of Congress’s leading critics of Israel’s war with Hamas. His stand — for a cease-fire and against American military aid — galvanized younger Democrats and the party’s left flank. But in a heavily Jewish district, it also helped foment a backlash that led Jewish leaders to recruit a formidable primary challenger, George Latimer; prompted a pro-Israel lobby to pump a record-shattering $15 million into the race; and eventually lit a match under old tensions over race, class and ideology.

Edit: After thinking about this some more I feel like this is a great example of what makes being a politician so hard and why sometimes taking the stand on right side of history can make things worse.

Bowman obviously wants to do the right thing and end the Gaza invasion, so he spoke out publicly against it. He doesn't seem to understand his constituency though, and as a result there's a good chance he's going to lose his seat at the table.

Unfortunately his speaking out publucly doesn't really seem to have moved the needle towards improving the situation in Gaza.

So by speaking out without understanding his constituents he might be losing his seat, we citizens of the United States are potentially losing one vote for progressive issues, we're potentially gaining a vote for aggressive pro-Isreali causes, and the invasion of Gaza rolls on without even noticing.

So was Bowman's sacrifice worth it? I guess we'll see in November.

Lol, good news is that both of us are doing the same amount to stop the invasion of Gaza right now. However, I'm advocating for deescalation in the future and harm reduction. Maybe even a Palestinian state of their own. You on the other hand are advocating for more genocide and an escalation of the conflict, complete with Israeli condos on the beach in Gaza.

A fun fact about me, I'm also opposed to the Uyghur genocide being carried put by China, as well as the Ukrainian and Rohingya genocides being directly enabled by China. Curiously you only seem to be opposed to genocide if it's a political liability for Joe Biden and can be used to get Trump elected. I wonder why that is.

You're not in Gaza fighting the IDF, and you aren't voting for the candidate that will do the most to mitigate The Genocide™, so it seems like you're actively choosing more genocide. I'll never understand you genocide enthusiasts, absolutely heartless.

If you're doing a lot of reporting I highly recommend getting familiar with Quarto. It's incredibly flexible for writing ad hoc reports, automated reporting, dashboards, presentations, etc. You can use python, R, observable, or Julia.

How did you come to the conclusion that OP doesn't understand how electricity works?

Fun loosely related fact: gender, birthday, and zip code can uniquely identify about 87% of the population in the United States.

The study is a little old so population growth may have reduced that amount some what, but probably not a lot.

Finally, now get to work reverse engineering this marvel so we can use their own technology against them!

I feel like this quote from the BBC article is the bigger story:

According to Israeli media, neither Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor the defence minister Yoav Gallant were aware of plans for a pause before they were announced. Mr Netanyahu's office reportedly said the prime minister had told his military secretary that the plan was "unacceptable" after hearing about it on Sunday. He has also reportedly been told that there has been no change to the IDF's policy and that the fighting in Rafah "continues as planned". Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said the decision to pause fighting had been made by a "fool" who was "evil".

Dogs absolutely love pulling stuff and I bet that dog is having a blast.

@simplex@mastodon.social Can you help with this?

Is this some kind of weird market research?

I don't think so. In my SimpleX client there's a list a available servers but there's also an option to add custom servers.

This article explains how to host your own server if you don't want to or can't use one of the default servers.

I feel like you shouldn't ask your friends to put their lies in writing.

Donald Trump's sentencing is coming soon, hopefully they both get equal treatment

Biden's sanctions on solar panels from China has resulted in protected monopolies jacking up costs.

This claim is not supported by the article in any fashion.

Summary from the article:

Clean Energy Associates released a summary of the seven solar module trade policies and solar panel import tariffs currently in place, including AD/CVD rulings, Section 201/302, and the Uyghur Protection Act. These tariffs have significantly increased, or will increase, the cost of hardware imports into the United states – predominantly from China, but not exclusively – by 91% to 286%

The article addresses how the tariffs are expected to increase the prices of solar panels imported from various countries.

This seems like yet another blatant misrepresentation of facts as part of OPs aggressive voter suppression campaign to make Joe Biden look bad in order to help Donald Trump get elected.

The new Prius Prime has an optional rooftop solar panel.

According to an article in Slash Gear you can get about 4 miles of range after 9 hours in the sun.

So it has the potential to marginally increase your range on the scale of a short commute under ideal circumstances, but it's not much apparently.
