bdjsiqoocwk··on Reflections on Palantir
That's one theory. Another one is read the article.

The reason it matters is that under the second one Israel has no moral legitimacy, so saying things like moral imperative show how fucked up your morals are.

If you bought that garbage I have some ice to sell you.

bdjsiqoocwk··on How Israel’s bulky pager fooled Hezbollah
If "team A did bad thing X" is an argument for anything, could I counter that team B did X too, and more? You're complaining that Hezbollah kills civilians... So does the IDF.

Now if you tell me that one is intentional and the other one isn't the I know you're not being honest, because there's plenty of evidence that the IDF is really casual about collateral damage.

I'd be curious to understand what speciality they have that they can do drone path planning better...?

bdjsiqoocwk··on Teaching the Largest Programming Lesson
> cohort

Does it matter how you group together the people you're teaching? If you group them into smaller cohorts but same total number, do you have less of an obligation? Or do you just like how pretentious the word sounds?

I'm curious why effects fall with interest cube, when geometry demands that energy density falls with interest square...

Cannot be proven to help if you don't mind your organic matter decomposing in your mouth.
bdjsiqoocwk··on Routine dental X-rays are not backed by evidence
Right, that's really the problem: that question is impossible to answer in general because presumably the person who knows the best is the professional who actually examined you. And if you dare question him he's going to be offended.

I'm glad curriculum is improving, but nothing stops a dentist from overtreating of is so decides, and the incentive is there.

Sorry for that. Can you spell out the irony for me?
bdjsiqoocwk··on In a rare disclosure, The Pentagon provides an update on the X-37B spaceplane
Thank you. So just pretentious nonsense.
bdjsiqoocwk··on Why does FM sound better than AM?
I guess the crux here is the claim that "the effect of random noise is to amplitude modulate". Does anyone here understand why?

Ps I don't think analogies are helpful.

What does "head canon" mean?
bdjsiqoocwk··on Why the Baltic States Fear Russia's Kaliningrad Exclave
When Russia invade Ukraine within days I had made up my mind what I would do if I was in charge of "the west":

1) blow up nordstream

2) take Kaliningrad

We're 50% of the way there.

I've avoided all the stupid ideas of the past 20 years or so.

bdjsiqoocwk··on We only learnt of our son's online life after he died at 20
That post really made me sad.

I'm not disabled and neither is anyone in my family. But my relationship with my parents was always bad. I never spent any time thinking about the lives of disabled people because they've always been such an alien reality to me, but I think if you'd asked me think about it I wouldve had the vague intuition that disabled at least had good relationships with their parents because how dependent/how much time they were forced to spend with them. Your comment about the trauma that parents never overcome added a really dark twist for me to the concept of "bad relationship with your parents".

Anyway thanks for sharing

bdjsiqoocwk··on The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
If this was such a big part of their son's life, how come they weren't aware?

I'm asking this more to wonder out loud whether I'm in need of some introspection than to blame them.
