Do you think maybe that’s because Netanyahu has literally no incentive to comply knowing that US material aid is unconditional?

Reminds me of this ropeway thing that Tom Scott covered that doesn’t require power input either, for similar reasons:

Niche application but still cool.

“the greatest argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter”

Yes it is. It’s the one you got. Congrats on maintaining your ideological purity. It’s going to be quite a show.

Trump is also easily bought.

This is awesome.

I think this is just a roundabout way of blaming the Jews.

And then everyone will live happily ever after and nothing bad will ever happen.

In this case YouTube can do literally anything they want due to the lack of real alternatives. Hosting videos for free, for anyone (and any number of viewers) to watch, for free, is rather predictably not a very profitable business model. If you want to see what it takes to actually be profitable with such a model, look at the average free porn site. Extremely intrusive ads everywhere. If you don’t want to pay, and ads are the only revenue, advertisers are the customer, not you.

Still a better love story than twilight.

NGL if HBO made this into a 6 part miniseries I would watch. I would hate myself as I watched but I would watch.

It’s definitely true that if every actor did their own stunts, stunt workers wouldn’t get jobs. But here’s the thing - that is not in danger of happening. More than that, Tom Cruise doing his own stunts, in many cases, makes his movies better. Hanging on the side of a plane or running on the Burj Khalifa - in both cases the shots they can get are far better than they otherwise would be if they have to obscure the stunt guys face and use camera trickery and CGI to take his face.

Not to mention that the other actors in his films use stunt doubles so making those films more successful keeps stunt workers employed. It’s not like there were no stunt doubles in the mission impossible films.

Overall I just don’t see how this is a real problem . Most actors, especially A-listers, like themselves too much to seriously attempt doing their own stunts. Most of their reactions to seeing what Tom Cruise does is “fuck no”. Tom Cruise has the commitment of an actual crazy person to do the shit he does. No other actor who “does his own stunts” does what he does. Are stunt doubles really in danger of becoming extinct as a profession?

Given this, I guess I find it hard to see this as an issue worth worrying about. Why must this one crazy guy’s obsession with stunts be squashed? Is there there really not room in the wide landscape of filmmaking for one obsessive dude doing his own stunts?

No one knows what you’re talking about.

My government provides more aid to foreign citizens than they do to canadians

Want to explain? Or should I just take your word for it?

It’s dated, and ancient compared to the shit we spew, but it soo pure and clear (when you get the ear for it).

I am not a scholar, I can’t analyse prose or poetry, but his writing is cleansing and lights up the brain - especially if you have a fetish for reasonableness.

I know exactly what you mean and I’ve never quite had the words to describe this type of writing. It’s definitely old fashioned to our eyes, but it’s so dense with meaning. I felt the same reading some of the landmark SCOTUS decisions of the Warren court during the civil rights era.

Except the cancer warning thing which didn’t exactly have the desired effect. Good intent, bad execution.

I remember the first time I used MapQuest and I was absolutely amazed that it could just figure out the route automatically.

Is AMD finally realizing that unless they lower prices their tenuous hold on the GPU market is going to slip away entirely?

I’d give it 50% odds at best.

“unrealized gains” that you can somehow live off of indefinitely.
