Single sink makes cleaning pans so much easier. Everything smaller goes in the dish washer, so much faster than hand cleaning.

That’s a totally different situation from a totally different time....a singular, mostly unrelated action

Both situations are about Iran closing the Straight of Hormuz and the US response to such. It's hard to draw up a more similar event. Second up would be the ongoing operations against the Houthis who are attempting to close a different straight.

Do they want to lose half their navy in a day, again?

For those who want to watch a great animated video on the event: Operation Praying Mantis

The NCD leaks have gotten out of hand!

race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning

Physical traits are passed through genes onto kids, thus kids have much the same traits as their parents. Asian parents have asian kids. Why are we doing elementary biology here?

This really isn't the argument we should be latching onto.

tell them race isnt real

This is the shit I was responding too. And rhetoric like that is painfully contrary to even elementary biology. If the best response to OP's question is a demonstrably false statement like 'race isn't real', well, that's a very sad state of affairs.

doesn’t make much sense to group them so roughly

Just as I wouldn't generally find it necessary to group people by eye color, the fact remains eye color is real. Same for other genetically determined things like race.

tell them race isnt real

Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two asians have a baby, you get an asian baby.

Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two slavs have a baby, you get a salvic baby.

Race is most certainly real.

That sounds like the connection itself to that row somehow got fucked up. A flame probably isn't going to fix that.

You can put a flame to a screen for a few seconds and they are usually fine. But really, you should be looking into a screen repair or a new/used phone.

Ukraine regularly reports Russian casualties and destroyed equipment. The Russian casualty number ticked over 1M a few days ago. I'm guessing 'casualty' got lost in translation at some point and turned into 'killed'. I do see people making this mistake a lot with casualties, which is both killed and wounded.

Iran has multiple enrichment sites, with a reported 83.7% pure U-235. Such purity is only needed for one thing, and it isn't nuclear power plants which typically only need 3%-5% U-235.

It’s actually a specially made glass that is thin and flexible

The foldable screens scratch at a Mohs hardness level of 2. Glass doesn't scratch until 6.

Advantages:

  • The screen is protected when the phone is closed
  • It allows for a larger screen while maintaining portability

Disadvantages:

  • The screen is plastic, instead of glass. Meaning it is very easy to scratch
  • The screen has a hump where the hinge is
  • The hinge can get dirt in it, at which point you start developing lots of problems
  • They are very expensive

I personally buy mid-budget phones, which means these aren't even a consideration. But, I probably wouldn't buy one even at the same price due to the plastic screens being very easy to scratch and a larger screen not having much value for me. But, really it's up to you what you value in your phone.

 

According to an unnamed Israeli security official, speaking to Fox News, the success of the airstrikes that eliminated the IRGC Air Force leadership relied upon tricking those officials into gathering for a meeting, and then keeping them there.

“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the security official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”

 

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced a landmark $1.375 billion settlement with Google, resolving claims that the tech giant unlawfully collected and used Texans’ sensitive personal data.
