  • To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

    And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem’s death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn’t allowed any 3rd party verification.

    Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem’s death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.

    You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.

    But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?



  • You did not answer my questions.

    But I’ll answer yours. Hamas is not in the west bank you dolt. There is no “pretending” about it. You actually have to be mentally ill to think that somehow “Hamas” has spread out of one of the most heavily guarded regions through Israel and into the next most heavily guarded regions, the west bank.

    I guess if you’ve now taken israel’s definition of “hamas” which is all arabs, then yeah, hamas is literally everywhere in the region.

    Now, explain why fighting “hamas” involves desecrating bodies and bulldozing homes? How is that counter terrorism? Oh wait, you don’t think arabs are human so I guess that makes it ok, right?

    Combusting fossil fuels has a peak efficiency of ~60% (around 40% for ICE).

    I’ve no doubt it will likely be required for decarbonization, but I somewhat doubt it will be useful for grid electricity. It’s more likely (IMO) that the CO2->fuel route will mostly likely be used for things like airplane travel where the energy density of batteries is unlikely to get high enough to work well. (A battery plane with ~1hour flight is possible but it requires uber high density batteries). It might also be useful for generating fuel for shipping.

    This is a minor innovative being overly puffed to get clicks.

    The number came from “if every power plant in the world was 2% more efficient, this is how much CO2 we’d save”.

    This will not be deployed globally and there’s a lot of 2%s to be found outside the condenser. Including 100% reduction by shutting down fossil fuel plants.



  • Visibility is way better and traffic rules play to your favor.

    When you back in, you already have right of way. Traffic has to wait for you to park and you aren’t reversing into cross traffic.

    If you park forward, when you go to leave you have to worry about cross traffic and your head/eyes are far removed from where you need to be looking. You don’t have right of way which means a lot of awkward mashing the brakes when a car or pedestrian pops out of your blind spot.

    In short, you can park faster and more accurately and you can leave faster and safer.

    The only reason to park forward is there’s a line of cars behind you that won’t let you reverse into a spot. Otherwise, it’s always the right choice.
