Nope, it was explicitly every single Israeli. Explicitly stated. A mod has removed the comment now, so I can't link to it - but that kinda proves my point (unless you think I am making up everything).
I do get the impression that lots of people here believe the sentiment in that comment. While being too self aware to actually state it in writing.

Are they shooting those ships without warning?

So if I warn civilians that I am going to shoot them first, then it is OK to shoot them. According to your advanced moral theories, I assume.

Edit: Israel blockades Palestine, US blockades Cuba, but it’s terrorism when Iran or Yemen do it. Sure, bud.

So because "Israel bad" or "US bad", it is good that the Houthies shoot random innocent ship crews?

Lets shoot at some innocent ships and their innocent crews. Terrorism is fun! Hell yeah!

Note: My comment is a joke. Unlike the comment I am replying to.

I just had a guy here tell me that shooting civilians in Israel was OK, because there are no Israeli civilians.

The anti-semitism here is effing out of control.

Supreme Court paves way for dismissal of Steve Bannon contempt of Congress case

Jump

8oow3291d @feddit.dk 15h ago

if the DOJ no longer wants to prosecute the case, isn’t this just the SCOTUS saying, " OK?" which was probably a foregone conclusion after the Solicitor General told them they were abandoning the case back in Feb?

Courts can refuse to dismiss a case, though it is rare. In https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/434/22/ lower courts had refused a dismissal, though that was overridden by the Supreme Court with the argument that dismissal

cannot fairly be characterized as "clearly contrary to manifest public interest."

In the case of Bannon, it seems to me that it is very much contrary to public interest to dismiss. We are in extraordinary times, and this is an extraordinarily corrupt dismissal. So if we think it was a foregone conclusion, then it is only because we know SCROTUS is corrupt, right? Not because the law said so.

The question is not whether current battery technology poses that risk: it does. The questions are whether that’s an outsized risk relative to other car technologies and whether Tesla could have done more.

Googling, there also seem to be a consensus that the fire risk in petrol car is way higher than the risk for battery cars. E.g. from https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/20/do-electric-cars-pose-a-greater-fire-risk-than-petrol-or-diesel-vehicles

“All the data shows that EVs are just much, much less likely to set on fire than their petrol equivalent,” said Colin Walker, the head of transport at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit thinktank. “The many, many fires that you have for petrol or diesel cars just aren’t reported.”

After some googling, the "Why?!" in the image seems to be completely bullshit, though.

Electric cars have a way lower amount of deaths from fire than petrol cars. So why would there be outrage about Tesla fire safety?
The comparison in the image also completely ignores number of cars on the street, total miles driven. All car models will have fire deaths. Without scaling with number of cars, you are just always going to be outraged at the number of deaths for the most popular car model...
The outrage about the Ford Pinto was because it was a known specific defect which was covered up (fuel tank rupturing when rear ended), more than the number of deaths in itself. As far as I can tell, the number of fire deaths were actually not extraordinarily high for the Pinto. Hence comparing this not especially high number to Tesla for outrage purposes is meaningless.

Real programmer test

In some cases, it is "code as documentation". Saves me from 1) remembering the steps 2) means I actually doing the steps correctly 3) Actually remembering to do the 10 minute task when I need to.

If I had not done the program, then I often would have to write down and maintain documentation elsewhere.

I did say "most". The cheap charter tourism by airplane is what is probably not compatible with net zero carbon, as needed to stop climate change.

Obviously the sanctions don't help. But Iran is also super corrupt.

Ah yes, freedom fighting Shia Muslims firing unguided freedom rockets at Israeli civilians.

Note that both the Houthis and Hezbollah are Shias (hence allied with Shia Iran, in the Sunni-Shia religious cold war). And the Muslims Israel displaced from the Israel were Sunnis. So the claim of them being "freedom fighters" in the Israel-Palestine conflict is quite dubious - Yemen and Iran especially has no relation to Israel, they are just using Jews as an external enemy to blame their own shortcomings on. While of course not caring at all about China's Uighur genocide.

Lebanon: Hezbollah's rocket attacks on northern Israel must be investigated as likely war crimes

Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game

Why do you think it is based on manual input? It would make a lot more sense if the Steam software detected the framerate automatically while you are playing.
