Does this count as a still life?

As expected, the government starts to collapse the moment there's a real possibility of a ceasefire. Pretty much everyone could've seen this coming the moment the ceasefire deal was announced, maybe even the moment the first government approval ratings were published after the war started, and you can already see Bibi try to backtrack on all of this to desperately cling to power and avoid the prospect of prosecution for his crimes. It would be pathetic if it weren't so destructive, but his thread is finally unraveling after 15 months of clear genocide. One can only hope he and the rest of his cabinet get what they deserve for all they've done, but at this point there's no telling what can happen.

I feel like it'd be wise to wait for further developments. Valve is notorious for being horrible at communication, but even then it's rare that they do something like this without some sort of reason. It still sucks that Valve shut this down after 8 years, but it's hard to know anything for certain until either side comes out with more information, especially with how stupid Valve's legal team can be sometimes. Could be that they just backpedal and say it's alright in a few days, who knows.

Of course, trusting Valve is always as risky as trusting any other corporation, given they have a bit of a track record with tolerating and even outright allowing gambling with skins, but this could easily be their legal team being overzealous yet again as well.

Seems a bit early to tell if this will have much of a lasting effect. So-called economic "shock therapies" have a long history of working for a year or so, and then unraveling later. And especially for Argentina, the cycle of decades of growth followed by decades of recession has been going on for a while now. I'll be genuinely impressed if he manages to actually fix the economy long-term, but that still remains to be seen.

This was maybe the most pathetic coup attempt in recent years (excluding jan 6th and brazil's jan 8th because they both wouldn't have worked as actual coups regardless). At least some part of the military was clearly in on it too, but they didn't even stop the representatives from voting to invalidate the declaration, and even worse, it was attempted while the opposition nearly had a supermajority, and with an incredibly disliked president.

Maybe this is overthinking it, but why would you ever try a coup without at least some popular support? Yeah, it doesn't matter what the people think as far as making it happen, but lack of popular support often leads to a lot of instability, and the first one to die in an unstable dictatorship is often the guy at the top.

Why do they have Toblerone boobs though?

I don't know of any graphical tools that let you do this, but generally, if you want to search for specific terms/times/commands or anything of that sort, piping journalctl into grep (and optionally grep into less) is pretty effective at finding stuff.

I'm not an expert, but couldn't you pump the brine into a shallow reservoir and evaporate the water off, similar to how sea salt is made? If there isn't a significant amount of contaminants, you could theoretically just sell that as well, but even if not, the solid salt is a lot easier to deal with

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

Today I learned that Gallagher absolutely cannot draw legs under a cover.

The whole capitalization of pronouns thing was pretty much entirely made up around the 19th century anyway (as well as the capitalizing the word "Lord", which the King James version invented outright), so you can argue that protestant churches are following a woke plot to change the pronouns of the christian god as well.

Simple, effective, doesn't make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.
