No. It's a conflict in a highly urbanised area with one side (hint: Israel) deliberately bombing targets to cause as many civilian casualties as they can

Or the residents of Gaza strip

“We note that there are contrary requirements on drivers in that they must respect the minimum [sic] time, they are attempting to create manageable gaps to cars in front, yet they are also required to avoid unnecessarily stopping at the pit exit or driving unnecessarily slowly. It was also particularly noted that the race director accepted that these contrary requirements exist.”

This is such a load of bullshit. Respecting the maximum lap time is a requirement set by the director's race notes. Avoiding stopping and/or driving unnecessarily slowly at the pit exit is a requirement set by the rulebook. Creating a manageable gap to cars in front is NOT a requirement. It is a competitive advantage. And as such, drivers and teams are free to pursue an advantage as long as they are within the requirements. There aren't contrary requirements. You either set a lap earlier than everybody else when the track is not in optimal conditions, or you wait till the last moment and take the risk of traffic.

If I were Leclerc or Hamilton, I would use this ruling to challenge last week's DSQ. After all, there are two contrary requirements if we follow the stewards' logic: the requirement of the wear of the planck and the requirement of running low to maximize ground effect.

They will use this law to deny citizenship to people from Palestine

If we are talking about main objectives publicly stated and action supported, maybe you should listen to the Israeli foreign minister:

At the end of this war, not only will Hamas no longer be in Gaza, but the territory of Gaza will also decrease

This isn't a security issue, it is an invasion.

They never said that they were walking on a straight line

Yes, this is a bit frustrating. Part of the scientific method is to propose new hypothesis, and that's what the original author did, so no issue with that. But then there is a chain of increasingly pop-sci media that hype some of these hypotheses as they were already confirmed and accepted by the mainstream scientific community, which is not the case. For example, the title of the article, "New research puts age of universe", that is pure clickbait, the correct tense is, being very generous, "could put".

And when this happens in a field like cosmology, it's relatively harmless. But the same happens in fields that have a more direct impact in the general public's life, like the usual "a couple of years ago they said eggs were unhealthy, and now they say we should eat 5 per day". And the effect is that people stop trusting the recommendations of the experts.

Exactly, and that's the reason why deleting a Threads account also deletes the Instagram account. Because there is only one account for both services.

Wait, does the screen say 263 KPM? As in Kilometers Per Minute? That is 25 times faster than the escape velocity from Earth!
