That needs to come with an additional allowance for pumpkin spice lattes.

Thanks, Bill.

Well, for example, a metric ass-ton of shoes and shoe components are made in Bosnia. But hardly anyone still makes the traditional opanci in the traditional way; there's one guy left in the whole Hercegovina that does. And they are required for the national costume, so they are still important. But the economics just don't work out.

That's pretty normal. I think bro is pointing at either a general strike or regicide, both of which are highly frowned upon.

No, but rich assholes like getting away from it all too.

Please move to Texas. Those of us who like waterfalls, are not suicidal, and who will accept beautiful nature in lieu of a functional state government appreciate you freeing the capacity for someone else.

Not if you disable JavaScript.

I have a fun story. I was allowed to set up an HTTP server on the network at work. Boss wanted me to be an Apache expert. I didn't get permission to run a BZFlag server, modded to allow infinite reload. I had rotating servers with goofy stuff like blank maps, all flags Laser, with infinite reload. I remember the frantic call from my boss about a DDoS attack hitting my server. The thing I missed was each shot is a single UDP packet, so I was basically DDoSing the entire network. Woops

Which reminds me, where is @simonw ? lol

There's no proof of that. However there is proof of Israel invoking the Hannibal directive on Oct 7 and torching hundreds of cars from the air, which were then buried.

Have you seen the video evidence Israel says they have of Hamas's brutality? I haven't either.

> destruction of Israel and murder of all Jews

You people keep saying this is what Hamas wants. I've read the original scary charter everyone keeps pointing at. They never say to murder Jews. They do say to dismantle the apartheid state and replace it with a justice oriented one. That doesn't require marching 7 million Israelis into the sea, it just requires a regime change.

And while they're at it, forget about Israel being an ethnostate and give the 5 million Arabs without any representation a vote.

If you knew anything about how Iran is doing this, you'd know they are happy to throw money or materiel at anyone who can put together a force against Israel, or even Serbia during the Bosnian war. They hardly direct or control anything afield, other than being mostly ideologically aligned. They don't need to pull puppet strings like you say. They happily work with resistance forces regardless of sect.
