Let me frame this like so:
It's just another example of capitalist for-profit corporations that maximize profits while offloading their negative externalities onto the rest of us.

Probably both. If I were looking from the side and seeing Israel has a blank check and weapons from the US, casually bombing neighbouring capitals, I would consider mine could be next. The Arabs can probably also see the blatant racism displayed by parts of Israel's government, a part that's expected to grow.

Oh yes I meant that of you can make any protein in the body, and you knew some super specific poison that only this bacteria dies from (unlikely), then you could make the poison in the body via mRNA, instead of teaching the immune system to target the bacteria, or making the poison in a lab. If say the poison was unstable, hard to keep from deteriorating between manufacture and administration, you could make it in the patient. Just an entirely hypothetical train of thought to check my intuition.
I see a few ridings where the margin between Con and NDP is razor thin with Green taking a sizable chunk of the vote.

So you could theoretically even make some ultra custom antibiotic that kills C.diff specifically. 😅

The distance and the budget call for 75-85". I have had good luck with an entry level Sony. I bought an X85K 85" two years ago. It's one step above the cheapest model. The cheapest model was an IPS panel which had a bit shittier performance. I don't recall in what regard. X85K is a Samsung panel. It's a standard no-nonsense LED side backlight which is very robust over time. The original unit was a lemon. It developed a line across the screen. I got it replaced under warranty. The second unit has been flawless so far. Software-wise, it's a bog-standard Android TV/Google TV. Doesn't require Internet connection to setup. With that said I use a CCwGTV with it and I don't hear a peep from the TV OS about anything. The only thing I didn't like about it was the price at the time. I bought it straight from Sony, they ship from GTA. It was available from other retailers too. I think this model might still be current actually. I still see it on Sony's web along with another one - X85J.
Prior to that I had an entry level Samsung 75". It was fine too. Didn't require Internet. The panel was a similar affair, slightly worse in terms of blacks and uniformity but I'm sure that wasn't due to its Samsungness but was simply a cheaper panel than what Sony uses.

I think it makes it a bit more difficult to escalate and therefore help elect Trump. For Bibi, Sinwar being at large is an unequivocal argument to keep on keeping on in Gaza. Now that he's gone, he'll have to use flimsier ones and whoever might push back, could push back harder.

Yeah I don't think Bibi wanted him dead yet. At least not before the American election. His path to electing Trump is through escalation. Sinwar's death was immediately used by states to demand de-escalation.

> Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as "people of faith," responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The "people of faith" label is given to those who identify with a recognized religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism or Islam. > The study found that approximately 104 million people under the "people of faith" umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million who regularly go to church.
A decent view of Trudeau's thinking on a few popular issues in case you care to know. Nate is an LPC MP from TO. He was the runner up candidate for OLP's last leadership election.
> Researchers have used commercial satellite imagery to identify more than 30 points where Iranian missiles appear to have impacted an air base in southern Israel. > Based on preliminary calculations of what happened at Nevatim, Lewis believes a substantial number of Iranian missiles may have reached their targets. > Lewis notes that although over 30 missiles landed inside the base perimeter, the damage caused was still somewhat limited. That's notable because Iran is believed to have used some of its most advanced Fattah missiles.
