You know this is a good plan because all the orthodox hardliners on both the Israeli and Palestinian side would hate it.

Insane that this comment is downvoted. There are 1400 dead Israeli civilians and hundreds more still held hostage by Hamas. If they want peace so bad, maybe release the hostages?

Here's a good article: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/18/1206795861/heres-the-available-evidence-of-what-happened-at-al-ahli-arab-hospital-in-gaza

Relevant quote:

Photos from the following day also appear to show little damage to the hospital buildings, and a relatively small blast zone from the explosion. That damage pattern is inconsistent with a large air-dropped bomb, which would leave a crater and create a shockwave that would damage or destroy surrounding structures, says Marc Garlasco, a former targeting officer for the U.S. military who now works for PAX, a Netherlands-based non-profit.

"It's very clear to me that this is not an airstrike." Garlasco says. Israeli bombs typically leave craters three to ten meters in size, and are designed to create a large shockwave that propels shrapnel over a large area.

If you look at the photos of the site there's no crater, no destroyed buildings, just burned cars.

You ever drive down a rural road, and out the window you suddenly come across an old shuttered up house? The kind of house with five cars parked on the front lawn in various states of disrepair? With overgrown bushes pushing into the peeling paint of the wooden siding alongside a giant novelty bigfoot that seems to stare at you as you zip by down the road? The one with the chain link fence that's torn in five places and yellowed trailer up on blocks? The one with a dog tied to a post, barking it's head off outside, so you know someone actually lives there?

I imagine these threads are like a window into the lives of the people in those houses. It's like they're living in a whole different society, with their weird quirks and vaguely unsettling rituals.

Thought it was funny how it felt like such a relief getting 3-3 with a failed U/G draft deck, and such a disappointment going 4-3 with the streamlined R/W aggro deck I got right after.

That sack looked very routine too, no huge blindsided hit, just a regular takedown with a slightly weird angle on his legs. Real bad luck.

Got one guy yelling that real poor people can't afford plane tickets and you're calling me stupid for the opposite reason. Meanwhile I'm here like, I never even took a position on the actual argument, I just wanted to make a distinction between poverty in wealthy countries vs poor countries. Yeesh

What's up with the super old posts in the hot feed? They always show up near the top in strange clusters, too. I'll be scrolling through, seeing posts from 5 min to an hour old, then suddenly 10 posts in a row from 2 years ago, then back to seeing all posts from 5 minutes ago. I know I can sort by top day or whatever, but it just seems like such a weird bug, wondering if anyone knows why it happens.

I have a 2 year old and live in Nevada. Now I know to avoid taking my kid to swim in warm fresh water ponds, so, kinda helpful?

Ya, if I remember right FiveThirtyEight had Trump at around 30% chance in 2016, so slightly unlikely but not exactly a crazy longshot.
