the people doing the detonating had visual confirmation of the targets not being in close proximity to civilians

Or even had the pager at all instead of leaving it at home where their kids could get hold of it or a fire could be started.

It’s purely about the power of advertising. It is the most trusted news channel in the uk with around 70% of the country watching BBC One for their news. The second most popular news channel is ITV at 49%.

So they could launch an appeal without the BBC but they could be missing up to half the population. Although it’s difficult to tell because they could also be missing none of the population if those that don’t watch ITV watch other non-BBC channels.

I think that the concern that they have (regarding the ability to actually deliver aid) is valid. We’ve heard a lot of stories about aid delivery not working so how are the aid agencies going to ensure that they can use the money that they collect from the appeal for the specified purpose?

This story is about French/space/communications/technology. Not American/politics/racist/conspiracy. Not one genre overlap

It’s about the one overlap that you missed out: frickin space lasers

I think that we know the answer to that don’t we?

We’ll keep hold of them in case we need them regardless of the fact that using them now would drastically reduce the chances of us needing them later.

That’s ignoring the humane reason for sharing because that won’t be considered relevant to any decision made.

As an aside, Sanchez is missing the fact that the EV tarriffs were implemented in response to excessive state aid by the PRC. It’s not good for him to promise to drop the tarriffs without committing to more negotiation regarding the EU’s concerns about state aid.

That is a pretty huge thing to ignore too. Without the EU imposing tariffs, China could shut down the EV industry in the EU. Without tariffs, any country could shut down any industry in another country unless the other country also provides subsidies.

Well, as we provide Israel with only around 1% of their arms imports I think that we could only ever hope to make a political statement rather than having any real impact.

Same in the UK but we’ve only just done anything about it.

Which means that he could also not override congress and not send Israel guns or cash.

That’s the problem isn’t it.

I’d have no problem paying for privacy respecting access to websites that I used frequently except that I don’t trust them to keep their end of the deal.

lol. We’re short of prison space so get the deal with Rwanda for immigrants changed to be criminals instead.

Army of the Dead was at least an hour too long and had too many plots going on.

I liked Army of Thieves but it was only loosely connected.

Yeah. It’s a pretty meaningless statistic really.

I was definitely more likely to leave the UK after the brexit referendum than before it but I’m still here. The chances before were less than 1% and the chances after were closer to 1% but probably still didn’t exceed it.

P.s. I’m not a millionaire in case anyone is wondering.

Every week or two there’s a new ceasefire deal on the table and then Netanyahu says something to the tune of “but we’re not stopping until Hamas is gone”.

It seems that the negotiators don’t have the authority to negotiate for anything other than “you stop shooting now and we’ll stop shooting when you’re dead”.

It’s mostly in a spoiler tag and is intended for it to give you only the conclusion and you’d need to click through to get to the detail.

It doesn’t work on my client though.

Oh, so it’s bad for Russian trolls and hackers to interfere in elections but it’s okay for Indian priests?

I think that it’s the red arrow that does it. So much scarier than a green one.

In the UK, I would say The Light cinemas. The one near us has everything that you want including good seating and a really good fast food restaurant all at a reasonable price.

Let me guess: Ukraine should stop their aggression and leave the Russians alone in their new territory.

It’s already a pretty common feature. My car has a speed limit sign reader and flashes a warning on the screen when you reach the speed limit.

It also has a button to set the car’s speed limiter to the detected speed limit.

It gets it wrong quite frequently though. Sometimes it misses signs and other times it picks up a sign on a side road that goes ahead where the road that you are on turns. I don’t know how it decides to handle national speed limit signs - sometimes it shows a national speed limit sign on the dash but other times it shows 60 or 70 instead.
