The externalities need to be weighed into the cost too no?

How much global warming and environmental destruction is caused by launching rockets? A grid is built once and can be maintained for a very long time at a much smaller operating cost. Space stuff is expensive...

Someone else flagged your post.

Edit: try to imagine what it was like growing up as a Palestinian in Gaza, born 2000.

I try my best to keep a nuanced discussion going here and you obviously have no interest in this. Enjoy your flagged post.

Israel has put Gaza under siege & total blockade since 2006. The population has been used for low paid work in Israel and treated more or less like cattle.

Germany has a lot of very strange political formations. The anti-german antifa is very curious and close to this topic.

All I can think is that there is no chance of proper peace talks or any kind of truth commission since oct 7 / the genocide in Gaza.

The most likely outcome in my view is that Israel succeeds in cleansing and redeveloping Gaza and keeps settling and splitting up the West Bank until the Palestinians become nothing but 2nd class citizens in a singular state.

This will not stop the terror attacks.

It's all very depressing. I think both sides have lost.

There are horrific acts on both sides going back very very far. I grew up in a country with a relatively balanced media reporting on the issue and have tried my best to stay informed. Suicide bombings, bus hijackings, mass murders.

The inequality in force applied has still been a constant.

Also, the fact is that any peace deal has been made impossible by the hunting down and killing of anyone that could actually hold that conversation. All secular and left wing movements in Palestine have been eradicated in favor of Hamas, Islamic Jihad et al.

Likewise the Israeli extreme right wing now in power killed their own prime minister for trying to negotiate.

Also see the birth of Hezbollah as a response to Israeli invasion of Lebanon, which also gave rise to suicide bombings. These then spread across the region. The reason Israel invaded was to fight the Palestinians there who were displaced by the founding of the Israeli state and the following conflicts.

Edit: the Palestinian groups there were doing raids in northern Israel and fleeing back across the border to Lebanon

It's a gordian knot at this point and i am very doubtful there will ever be a peaceful solution.

I have followed this conflict since Operation Cast Lead and the beginnings of the siege on Gaza.

Israel has been using enormous amounts of force against the Palestinian people since then, with death tolls of _at least_ 100 dead Palestinians for every dead Israeli.

For a very good account of life in Israel around the time of Cast Lead I recommend Guy Delisle, brilliant diary in comic form.

His partner was working for Doctors Without Borders, the Israeli Army refused to let them enter Gaza to help the people suffering under their bombardments.

The israeli army are famous for their tech?

There is a difference between war and extermination.

I live in DE too, it's terrifying. I didn't realize the extent of the armaments shipped to Israel from Germany until recently.

The Israeli navy ships were built in German shipyards and subsidized 30%...

For the price that is insane.

This is such a weird take. Huge amounts of refugees displaced from Afghanistan, a US pullout that left their allies in the country to their own devices. 20+ years of funding drug lords and war lords, doling out wads of cash. It went nowhere. The US made no real efforts to fix afghan infrastructure or any real problems the country was facing. The taliban beat the biggest military force in the world with very small means. Read up on the relationship between the mujahideen, Carter&reagan admins and the Soviet afghan war.

I built a xox as my first real project. Got the kit in person from an older man in a nice but simple studio in deep east berlin, 2012 or so. Great machine, learned tons.

I had a black and white MacBook that was a Frankensteins Monster made out of at least 3 of these. It was around 2011-12 and I couldn’t afford anything else. I think I still remember how to disassemble them by heart… <3

There is an enormous difference in tone if you actually read any of Tove Janssons books. The animated moomin series is childish and cute. The world of the books is dark and scary and contains monsters and threats that are almost lovecraftian. The moomin trolls are victims to their surroundings and the forces of nature...

This.

The nazi regime destroyed a lot of what today would be classified as "woke research" by the reactionary right. Sexuality studies, social studies and so on. The book burnings were not only about rooting out fiction, they destroyed research.

For a better example of the guitar as a synth like feedback device listen to robert fripps solo on heroes by bowie. He used markings on the studio floor to achieve the desired tone.

No it was a financial operation living off electric vehicle credit sales

As someone who has family histories of debilitating mental illness (bipolar disorder) and been very close to homeless a few times your story resonated with me. Too many people here have obviously never been that close to the edge of either sanity or financial ruin for them to be able to empathize. Will follow your writing, keep it up!

Musima means Musik marktneukirchen, a place with a long tradition of instrument manufacture. The Martin family emigrated from there to America and the rest is history..

Thank you.

Did the same with a bunch of games all through school. I think the dune demo was an early one

Kommer gärna och spelar nån gång;)

I have seen it a few times. It really twists some people up.

Hej! Ole här, var hos er för nåt år sedan. Kul att se er här!!

Yes man you got it.

So everyone not a libertarian is dangerous?

I spoke with the people working at a German resort in Tunisia. I was there for a short stint as sound tech. The only way out of the country is smuggling. You don’t get permission to leave if you’re of working age and can contribute to the economy.
