i'm not sure at this point if it was some (then) ea-er inside belief that eric schmidt (they guy who said that, formerly google) was exposed to, and he sneered at it immediately, then it was shown to the world in length proper to rationalists
about communications, i don't know how safe or practical would it be for you, but you can hide antennas pretty well. simplest case is if you have nonconductive roof, then you can just put antennas under roof and it won't be visible from the outside, you can also put them in fake plastic chimney, in plastic electrical box on outside wall, in plastic gutter, there are many ways to go about it. on top of your own installation you'd have to build and conceal your other side's installation, but since you're already family's computer guy it'd be not even particularly suspicious.
nobody will tell 70cm band yagi from tv antenna. instead of normal antenna, you can also use slot in conductive surface instead, ie take satellite dish, cut a slot of specific length, fill back with epoxy, sand flat, connect coax, paint over, done, won't be visible at all and satellite service works just as well
equipment that goes with it, well, if it's line of sight you can probably make long distance wifi work using standard equipment and directional antennas (concealed probably? unless you want to "explain" to random soldier that you're just pulling internet to uncle this way). otherwise i bet you can get secondhand baofengs for cash (safer to connect them permanently inside + to outside antenna so that nobody spots these things). you can use them for voice as usual or you can use software modem, connect to your laptop audio input/output and send digital signals this way
frankly i think that you have better chance of evading state than many other posters here, because for example most of euro states record and analyze in real time their radio traffic 24/7. i guess enforcement of such things might be lacking in lebanon
also,
And not because some stuck up politicians are scared that a teenager could see a woman’s penis online, oh no, I totally think the true purpose is to tag “unwanted” ideologies and prevent their spread.
brits already censored protest footage bc "violent content" for anyone under 18 already, so yeah
I doubt Lemmy would even be allowed there if they knew what it was.
one of admins of your instance is from the region, and a couple of lemmy instances are blocked there, seemingly for "indecent content"
this has been previously sneered on, but only now i've clocked this: AI2027 is another name for, or elaboration of "san francisco consensus", from april this year or so, "named so because everyone who believes in it is in san francisco", more precisely timeline roughly matches and it hinges on iterative self-improvement
which might just mean it was laundered through chatbots to bulk it up initially. what i mean to say is even openai's dooming might not be original
so if anyone's counting then this thing is a couple of months older
Manufacturers, knowingly or unknowingly, use commercial-grade PG when making cough syrups to cut costs.
i'd note that there's zero technical reason why DEG would end up in PG. reaction of water with ethylene oxide gives you ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and higher analogues and these are then separated by distillation. propylene glycol is made from propylene oxide instead, and it's more expensive than ethylene oxide. diethylene glycol has little use on its own, at least compared to other glycols
however,
The physical properties of diethylene glycol make it an excellent counterfeit for pharmaceutical-grade glycerine (also called glycerol) or propylene glycol

After the Nazi invasion of Denmark this placed them in danger; it was illegal at the time to send gold out of Germany, and were it discovered that Laue and Franck had done so, they could have faced prosecution. To prevent this, de Hevesy concealed the medals by dissolving them in aqua regia and placing the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid.
Trains (electric) or pipelines generally won't, but pipelines aren't everywhere you need them and trains can't be used for anything else in this case. Effect is the same: local shortages
so the way i understand it, at first refinery strikes had little impact because other refineries still had slack capacity. but even before that slack capacity was gone, it had a further effect that now fuel was not prepared in places it used to be, so it had to be hauled longer distances. meaning logistics is strained and some fuel is used to haul it, and also now fuel production is more concentrated
at some point that slack capacity was gone and fuel went from not where you need it to not existing at all. there already were shortages in some regions. that and still large demand for fuel for farming caused decrease in exports. there was a refinery that only produces products for export, and its output wouldn't be directly usable as fuel (they only distilled crude into fractions, still high in sulfur etc) but it was also hit so exports from it don't matter because these are none
at any rate these developments are on borrowed time because it only takes maybe half year to repair more advanced parts of refinery, so under certain droning intensity they can just roll on. everyone involved knows that, and looks like situation will get worse for russians
fall? yeah, the front will fall off soon
