  • You were talking about Nazis posting on line. So now you’ve found someone doing mental gymnastics trying to blame Ukrainians for defending themselves against Russian aggression. Really not the same. Yes Ukraine has some Nazi problems as do many countries including Russia. Ukraine actually has some historical reasons as they were stuck between Russian brutal abuse and Nazis. That doesn’t excuse any Nazi mentality today, but Russia is a lot more xenophobic and against minorities than Ukraine is currently. The only reason to criticize Ukraine like your favorite xitter does is to carry water for Russia while they kill so many people (Russians and Ukrainians) for no reason other than Putin’s little dick, and idiotic Russians that suck it.













  • Versions of this I’ve seen prototyped had a laser between two mirror strips so it zigzagged back and forth left and right as it went from about 10’ up to the ground. The span between the mirrors was about 50’. It had a low-power always-on laser and the detector would correlate the signal with the frequency of a mosquito buzz. So if there was a mosquito anywhere on the laser path it would detect that, and then turn of a powerful laser pulse on the same path that would fry the mosquito. By putting a few of these in a line, a mosquito wall was made and it significantly reduced the mosquito population. This was in Ghana where they don’t actually have that many mosquitos - nothing like northern Ontario, just the occasional one. But they carry malaria there so it is very beneficial to kill them.

    A) from a photon’s perspective extrapolating relativity, zero time passes from when it is created to when it is absorbed. Essentially the two points are connected and the interaction is pure causality. This is part of the quantum nature of matter and can be understood as the manifestation of the probability of the two points interacting. An outside observer in three dimensional space doesn’t see the folds in higher dimensions that allow these interactions. We observe a time difference from the source to the target but our observation itself requires similar prabalistic folds in higher dimensions to make such observations, so the effect is never in isolation but as a combination that cancels the paradox. Of course I’m just making this all up, but it sounds good, eh? I’m a little bit high. Sorry.






  • In their chart, it’s pretty clear that the death rate in Gaza went up just as Trump took control. His rhetoric at the time was very pro-Isreal and encouraging them to eradicate the Palestinians, put up casinos, and all that. And then it slowed way down in Oct last year when the pseudo peace agreement brokered by the U.S. started. So credit where it’s due, they managed to make some sort of improvement then. But all Presidents have tried to make peace deals in Isreal/Gaza - it’s not like Biden wouldn’t have likely done that too. And the U.S. has now allowed isreal to attack Lebanon. And of course the Iran attacks which then US didn’t just support but was actively attacking. And of course Biden might have done the same, it’s not totally off script, although a Biden or Harris admin probably wouldn’t have fucked up the closing of the straight so badly. I don’t think any president would have stopped Isreal from launching a debilitating strike against Hamas after the October attacks. And then Hezbollah joining in made them a legit target too. I don’t think Biden did enough to pressure Isreal to safeguard civilians and to provide humanitarian aid. I’m not taking it easy on him. But the point is that it’s still as clear as anything that Trump was worse for the people of Gaza than Harris would have been. And the steadfast refusal to accept that and vote accordingly is what what got Trump elected, and what will get maga elected again (and then fuck over more people of the world, like in Cuba for example).
