...oh, that kind of drill. I was imagining a bond villain style plot with them building cartoonishly big drilling rigs above the reef and threatening to destroy it if their demands weren't met.

Is your fridge running?

Secondly, do you have any actual evidence you're basing that on, or is it just Israel's word you're taking?

I mean, high ranking Hezbollah members do keep dying in these strikes, possibly including Nasrallah in this latest one. Sure Israel are still dicks for accepting the levels of civilian casualties that come along with it but the strikes do seem to be hitting actual targets.

It's lucky that's not the question I'm asking then. I'm asking what Hezbollah has actually done to protect anyone from Israel.

I'm well aware of Hezbollah's history and my question still stands.

You really didn't. Let's try again: what has Hezbollah actually done that has protected anyone from Israel? They can't even protect themselves from their pagers.

Still not answering the question

Yeah, how exactly is firing potshots across the border and getting Lebanon into a war it doesn't want protecting anyone from getting steamrolled?

In what way is Hezbollah protecting anyone?

What is 'yes' in French? Does it perhaps sound like something one might say while going down a slide?

The system can listen to conversations and play ads when there’s a moment of silence. Or play a video when you’re close to the shops.

Oh good, I was worried the slide into dystopia might be slowing down for a second there.

I mean, the actual source for this statistic is usually "The Overworked American: The Unexpected Decline of Leisure" by Juliet Schor who in turn got the number from an unpublished paper written by Gregory Clark in 1986. Clark did eventually publish a paper in 2018 where he increased his estimate to 250-300 days (which may still be less than some modern workers work).
