Predators come in all shapes and colors. I generally don't trust anyone who claims to be a moral or ethical absolutist, especially with my children.

Yeah but it says right on the front that it's half potassium chloride and half sodium chloride.

I was really hoping for a spatula city ad and was not disappointed... Now I have to go watch UHF... Brb...

I really wish they would give at least a tiny bit of context to this summary. It would be nice to just know if it was purely malicious or if it was due to some sort of bureaucratic nonsense where they have some sort of strict rules in place that forces them to refuse grants of any kind or something.

Either way it would be ridiculous to refuse... But for fuck's sake at least offer a little bit of context... The summary here just reads like pure outrage porn...

Pitchforks and torches are fucking tiring to carry around all the damn time...

Edit: just read the full article and yeah that's fucked up... school board voted against the grant because of the organization it was coming from and clearly had no desire to evaluate the project on its own merits... The dissenting opinion from one member of the board is actually a really good one and would recommend anyone curious to go read it.

I have no clue what you are defending.

Also that's the silliest shit I've ever heard. A tamir interceptor is designed for the interception of rockets, artillery, and mortars. Just consider what the design of a rocket with such a task specific purpose would need to be designed to do. Think about how it would move, how it would sound, what the warhead is designed to do.

Really think this through please. Because most people here in Lemmy thought the rocket that hit the hospital (which ended up actually being the parking lot) and killed those 900 people (which actually ended up being ~300) was a US JDAM.

You actually believe that a low yield... Maybe 20lb NEW warhead designed for shrapnel dispersal fired at the sky and then malfunctioning and falling back to the ground... Would have the same devastation, velocity, and angle of attack as a missile people reasonably, but still mistakeningly thought was a 500lb NEW Air to Surface JDAM.

You could literally just use your own eyes and go look for videos of what it looks like for the tamir to explode in the air and compare that to the massive incendiary fireball that came from the HAMAS rocket and you would immediately know how insane that theory is.

And then I hope you walk away from that with just a little bit of skepticism and shame because you are guzzling the Kool aid bud.

Man, looks like they got the guy they were targeting and none of the civilians... This is way cleaner than when HAMAS dropped a bomb on a Palestinian hospital... they ended up killing hundreds of Palestinians...

"press harder..." "Make sure sack is dry and try again"

In general this would depend on the state... In Minnesota the canvass following the general ballot is used to determine who the states electors are going to be. These individuals represent their districts and are then legally obligated to only vote for candidates that meet eligibility and are on the ballot. So there would need to be a certain threshold of write ins met before he could actually make it to the electors ballots and he would have to submit a proper write in registration form ahead of time.. Because those electors are casting votes in representation for their districts they would not be authorized to write in a candidate of their own choosing as they would basically be going completely against their electoral districts clearly defined intentions.

So it's possible he could even win a fair share of the popular vote but be unable to be even selected as a candidate by the electors as they are legally unable to vote for him unless he is a properly displayed candidate on their ballots.

Super unlikely, but it would depend on how the state's Supreme Court would decide to uphold its write in registration process following the decision... And also it would probably be petitioned to higher courts who would likely overturn it since it's extremely dangerous precedent.

Day to day, yes... Decade to decade, very unlikely.

It would make for a very interesting biometric lock mechanism though...

"... Hold on boys, just need to unlock my phone real quick...."

The air strike is in dispute, HAMAS claims Israel, Israel claims HAMAS was responsible.

A little too soon to be jumping to conclusions and I would recommend everyone practice skepticism and patience, especially with reporting is coming from extremely biased sources like al-Jazeera, or official spokespersons.

People are suffering through this from every side, and it's just so disgusting and frustrating that people are so quick to leverage the suffering of anyone in their own pointless bias confirmations. Especially so when those individuals have no ties at all to any of this and are vastly ignorant of the political/military complexities involved here.

Propaganda is designed specifically to illicit emotional reactions... So, "Don't react, wait for facts!"
