US, Israeli missiles strike Iran — here's what it means for Russia

Yes unfortunately they did, but they failed to protect the Syrian regime, despite the massive strategic importance for Russia of their bases there, that were also a gateway to much of their influence in Africa.So they tried and failed.

US, Israeli missiles strike Iran — here's what it means for Russia

Iran is a strategic ally Russia cannot afford to lose, he said, adding that Moscow would likely do everything possible to prevent such an outcome.

Russia will do nothing, just like they did with Venezuela, and are doing with Cuba.All they'll do is complain about it, but they don't have any real power to do anything.In Syria they actually tried, but they were hopelessly ineffective.

the US Declaration of Independence in 1776?

You are only proving my point, this was from when USA was created as a democracy.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal

Except for slaves and women, so no that is not a declaration of respect for human rights as we understand them today. But it was a start.

But even if the meaning was good, USA no-longer respect the values of democracy. Many other democracies do.

Fuck Gillibrand for demanding him to go, based on a Republican orchestrated scheme against Al Franken!She was the main reason he never got a fair chance.

They were not a thing like they are today, where most democracies strive to observe human rights.For instance it wouldn't make much sense for a government to claim to be for human rights while they extort colonies.And human rights have always been a thing only respected by democracies. But nowhere as much as in EU where it is a requirement.

‘Unbelievably dangerous’: experts sound alarm after ChatGPT Health fails to recognise medical emergencies

This is actually criminal activity, it poses as qualified expert advice, but is nothing but a con, delivering totally unqualified advice.This can only be categorized as fraudulent, in any lawful society where quackery is illegal.ChatGPT needs to be investigated, and legal procedures needs to be held against them, with the goal of closing the "service" and huge fines for putting lives at risk.

AMD Zen 7 Grimlock Ridge leak hints at 32-core desktop Ryzen (16-cores per CCD)

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 11h ago

Quad channel RAM will have to become standard at some point. And the RAM isn't more expensive just because the CPU has more cores.If you build an 8 core system, the RAM will be just as expensive. The high RAM prices hit everything.I only wrote we are getting close, to me it's close if it comes within a couple of years. Remember this was compared to the 80's, which was about 40 years ago.

Those examples are straw-men, because before WW2 human rights were not a thing. In the stone age people hit each other with clubs doesn't prove anything.

Whoa I was just thinking back to when 32 bit CPU arrived for the desktop back in the 80's. That was HUGE!Now we are getting close to 32 cores becoming a desktop option! The computing power we have in modern desktops is insane.

Your logic on comparing propyleneglycol with ethanol and it causing cancer is just jank.

Yes because Alcohol is an actual carcinogen propyleneglycol is not. I was just giving the previous commenter the benefit of the doubt, and showing the scale.

You read like a child, saying that vaping is only a tiny percentage the health hazard a cigarette is, is not saying it's 100% safe.Even 1% of the hazard of one of the most damaging things you can do from a health perspective is not a blanket statement that it is safe.But for perspective, I'd argue that vaping is less a health hazard than drinking a soft drink with sugar, and 10-100 times more flavor than is in a vape.You seem religiously misinformed.

Saying that vaping is "probably" safer than cigarettes, is decidedly misinformation, nicotine is a very well known compound, and is not considered a carcinogen. Everything is toxic in high enough doses even water.If you drink 4 liters of water quickly, your brain will swell and you will die. That does not make water a toxic compound.

Seems to me that you are dishonest on this subject for some reason, mostly using arguments from ignorance. There are limits to the time I want to spend on that type of debate.

The flavor is the biggest unknown. Especially if the particular flavor used is unknown.I personally mixed my own juices, and all I can say with regard to flavors is that the amounts are very small for most flavors, and vaping it is not much different from smelling it if added to food or even tea as flavoring.So if these flavorings are a significant health hazard, I think it would have been detected in the industrial processes where they are used, and in professional kitchens.There was the infamous popcorn lung situations, where workers on a factory making artificial butter flavor were inhaling crazy high amounts of it. Like millions of times what you would inhale when vaping. It was called popcorn lungs, because the butter flavoring was used for microwave popcorn.It caused enormous damage to the reputation of this type of flavoring, but in reality the flavor wasn't really the issue, it was the insanely bad and irresponsible conditions under which it was produced, that offered absolutely zero protection for the workers, while there also was near zero ventilation, causing the flavor to permeate the production facility in extreme concentrations.

That sounds weird, although tomatoes do have some nicotine, it is very little.

I wonder how anyone could possibly know for sure that inhaling the base product is safe.

The only thing we can know for sure is our own existence. So that an impossible target to meet.All we can say is that after investigating it thoroughly we have no evidence to the contrary.

You need decades to know that

Yes and this has been researched since the 50's. As I've mentioned multiple times in this thread. It is considered safe enough to have been used in kindergartens to prevent respiratory disease, in asthma inhalers, and in machines to create stage smoke.

Vaping is probably safer than cigarettes

No not probably, because there can be zero reasonable doubt that vaping is only a few percentage the health risk of smoking. The research is very clear on that.

There are degrees of disrespect, and I would argue that every single EU country has higher respect, also because to be in EU it is a requirement to observe human rights.Disrespecting the rights of people even if they aren't of your own nationality, is contrary to democratic values.You may be thinking China and Russia are just as bad or maybe even worse, but that isn't the pattern you should be looking at, you should compare with other democracies, and especially countries that have better democracy than USA.
