Hamas raided southern Israel on Oct. 7 last year, killing about 1,200 people, kidnapping about 250 more and spurring a war with Israel. The ensuing fighting left more than 42,000 Palestinians dead, according to health officials in the Hamas-run territory, who don’t distinguish between combatants and civilians.
so you just need a good portable jack and some sort of device to get one of the wheels spinning at high speed to completely ruin a cybertruck?
good info to spread around
The closing paragraph really gives the game away, but can’t expect any better from The Economist:
In the process, the West has been abandoning its commitment to a bottom-up, market-based approach to setting technical standards.
So in the process of being spooked by China, the world’s largest manufacturer of electronics, having some influence on standards, the West refers to letting the biggest pile of capital set standards for profit as a ‘bottom-up approach’.
“We are being forced to undermine a system that has been very effective and that we have profited from for a long time,” laments Mr Rühlig. In more ways than one, China is making the West play by its rules.
China now being more capable at playing the same game they been playing for decades is framed as a terrible injustice. They are crying that they used to be able to set standards that relied on privately owned intellectual property that generated easy profits for years or even decades.
How much of the 3.8 acres is just driveway and parking lot?
I hope the Chinese told them they could just stop enabling a genocide. That is the correct answer to this situation.
The zionist prez that said being the strategic leader of this escalation is really something.
Every on-call employee should now get additional hazard pay until all devices have been throughly screened for explosives.
I was wondering how quickly into the article there would be fascist dog-whistling about invading Kursk. 2nd paragraph.
“I felt myself a part of history, because it was the first time since the Second World War Russia’s been invaded,” Sergei, the flaxen-haired trooper, told POLITICO
“I had the most powerful feeling,” he said.
You can get a presta to schrader adapter that is a valve cover/cap. You just take it off, unscrew the valve all the way and then put the cap back on, and it works exactly like a schrader. I keep one on one of my presta valves so I can air up with any random pump in a pinch.
Presta are technically better in certain ways, but they can be a bit annoying if you don’t have a good pump/adapter for them.
is just very basic and common due to non-bike uses.

I really believe this is one of the biggest blindspots of the Israeli public. They are still unable to even acknowledge how many people died on Oct 7th to the military response. This author has family in Be’eri, where the tanks shot houses that were filled with hostages. He has to know about the various documented instances of Hannibal Directive happening on Oct 7th. Just another one of the “it’s Hamas’ fault” denialism that he writes about in other cases, but cannot even mention. The latest genocide campaign really started when the commanders authorized the ‘killing zone’ along the Gaza fence area that included the rave festival grounds.
This denial is critical to keep the big lie of Oct 7th alive, to maintaining some thin veneer of victimhood over the top of continuing genocidal acts through out Palestine.
