Israeli drones shooting children in Gaza deliberately 'day after day', UK surgeon tells MPs
  • The earliest recorded use of an unmanned aerial vehicle for warfighting occurred in July 1849, serving as a balloon carrier (the precursor to the aircraft carrier) is the first offensive use of air power in naval aviation.

    If you need something more modern, these for example are from the early 90s

  • I feel this way about cinnamon.
  • You're confusing the ingredient list with the cooking order. Chili is a chili based recipe because that's the main ingredient, the ingredient that needs to be there, on top of which you can add other stuff.

    Those are just used as aromatics, they're not a main ingredient . You can replace them with other stuff or just omit them altogether and you'd still get a Chili. But if you replace the chili, then you just get a stew, can't really call it chili anymore.

    Take beef bourguignon, for example. It's a stew as well but its main ingredients, or base, if you will, are the beef and the red wine. Can't replace those and still call it that

  • I feel this way about cinnamon.
  • According to google (and since the name implies it as well I'm inclined to believe it) it's actually a chili pepper based stew. With or without meat. Tomatoes and beans are common ingredients, but not part of the base.

  • Realistically... How fucked is the US?
  • Well, sure, but Israel is literally surrounded by enemies. It doesn't seem like it because of big daddy USA. But without them they could easily team up and attack from multiple sides. Especially if they get backing from Russia/China/UAE .

    I dunno, just spitballing here, I'm no expert

  • Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now
  • Ok, I didn't look at the states that Harris won, because that would've taken longer and complicated things.

    Only looked at states that trump won.

    Interesting fact: if you strategically place 12 million more votes, you can win literally every single state and secure all votes.

    Most fun way to win (imo): 1.5 million in Texas for 40 votes and then another 1.5 million in Florida for another 30.

    Most efficient points/voter states:

    Michigan needed 80k for 15 votes

    Georgia needed 120k for 16

    Pennsylvania needed 145k for 19

    And Nevada needed 52k for 6

    For a grand total of 400k you'd get 56 votes that could've taken Harris from 226 to 282 and would've secured the win.

    Other close calls:

    North Carolina needed 200k for 16 votes

    Arizona needed 140k for 11

  • Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now
  • Meh...dunno.. even the stupidest of the people I've spoken to have agreed that trump is bad and were outraged by some of the stuff he said/did. And people always claim that when people show up to vote, the Dems win. Not a fact I've bothered to check, but it does work for the past few elections.

  • Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now
  • The original comment to which you replied said "Millions of people stayed home. I really doubt Gaza was the reason for all of them."

    We've agreed that millions of people did stay at home. So I don't see the problem. Yes, they often stay at home. That's the problem. When it's two of more of the same it's more understandable. But both sides have been pretty clear about what's at stake. And they still stayed home. That's it. And you've agreed that 1/3 of the people didn't vote.

    Not sure how the op was untruthful or misleading or based in any way "off of feelings and emotions".

    Millions of people chose to allow this to happen. And yeah, Gaza wasn't the reason.

  • Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now
  • What feelings and emotions? Trump got 72.6 million votes so far this year. He got 74.2 in 2020. That's 1.5 million voters right there. Biden got 81.2 million votes. Harris got 68 million votes. That's 13 million votes difference.

    And most elections get in the 60% +-5 range voter turnout.

    So...yeah... 1/3 of the population doesn't bother to vote.

  • You remember wrong. It just means "of rome" and it's that because it was a roman province. There's a difference between "of rome" which is what "român" means and "the true descendants of Rome" which is what you're claiming. We've never claimed to be more Roman than Italians or anything. That'd be stupid.
