  • Britain also has a fairly unique relation to the area, having massive influence on the original defined borders, resulting in nearly constantly contested borders. In classic British Empire fashion, ignored realities of the region like local ethnic and religious politics, nomadic tribe lifestyles, etc.

  • I mean, it was a Jewish festival. It might not be specific to the Palestinian/Gaza genocide... But it's definitely related.

    "It would appear that this was motivated by Islamic State ideology," Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said of the shooting attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday.Albanese continues: "The ideology that has been around for more than a decade that led to this ideology of hate, and in this case, a preparedness to engage in mass murder.

  • folk who can't tell the difference between a Jew and a Zionist Israeli.

    That's the design. The Israeli government has been trying to blur the line between the two since the Gaza genocide began. They don't want the average person to be able to make the distinction between the teo. The zionists want to hide behind general "anti-Semitism" phrasing.

    The real world result is that because the distinction is hard to make, every Jew is now a target. And they'll point to that to justify the general anti-Semitism claim as well. Creating a loop that enforces their own artificially created narrative.

  • I would recommend verifying that your government doesn't have 3/4 of the system based solely on gentleman's agreements, non-codified precedent, and rules that the politicians can change on their own at any time.

    Also replace any sort of First Past The Post election system of there is one, clearly it just allows a minority to take over once they are smart enough to do the math.

    FPTP results in an inevitable two party system over time, and it only takes one of them realizing they don't actually need a majority, and can ignore the other party if their goal is destroying the institution getting in their way.

    Fundamentally that's all it has taken for the US to come to this point so quickly. One party, with power fueled by the FPTP system, who are trying to make the government function poorly to the point they can justify unilaterally changing it.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

  • Most small scale home and business NAS deployments are still going to use spinning disks, not SSD due to the lower cost per GB and the fact that HDD arrays already have enough speed for most small scale use cases.

    My disk array at home gets close to SATA SSD speeds in most workloads already, and it's plenty fast enough for anything I can throw at it.

  • Anyone relate?

  • There are still a lot of devices in use that don't support NVMe, especially older portable devices. And there are plenty of boards with M.2 slots that only support SATA, not NVMe, over some or all of those slots. It's one of the areas that board manufacturers often use to cut corners and reduce costs.

    Getting a separate PCIe card is easy enough for a desktop, even a low profile one, but that's not an option across the board.

    That being said, SATA SSD production was already probably getting near being dramatically reduced because NVMe is so prevalent now.

  • So they're not actively enforcing the weird grey area they made by defining only one THC cannabinoid, and allowing derivatives that don't have to conform to the same level.

    Is it that surprising that they fucked up trying to define something they don't actually understand? Although it's more likely the loophole was intentionally made by the lobbyists for the various cannabis companies that actually wrote that part of the bill, as is tradition now.

  • No it wasn't. The 2018 farm bill removed Hemp from the list and specific it as different from marijuana, and derivatives as long as they have less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. This is also why CBD products are available essentially across the board. CBD is excluded and listed as separate from THC, because it is not psychoactive.

    There have been multiple subsequent court rulings that have had differing conclusions regarding various products that came on the market after that. More specifically around arguments about Delta-8 THC derived from <0.3% Delta-9 products and natural vs synthetic derivatives.

    Marijuana in general was by no means "legalized" by the 2018 Farm Bill.

    Assuming of course you ignore the fact it's also the cause of that issue.
