They don’t. They care about keeping this from escalating into a very dangerous regional conflict with the potential to spread further. Israel is absolutely justified in going after Hamas. What they are actually doing is beyond what a reasonable response would look like. Nobody besides the bad guys cares if Israel goes and kills some terrorists, but they can’t displace a million people who had nothing to do with it and then starve them out. In a matter of days, Israel went from being the victims of a heinous attack to committing war crimes on a massive scale. That can’t be. It makes it hard to support Israel and we also can’t turn our backs on an ally. It’s an untenable political situation for the U.S. and risks a major conflict. The U.S. is serving its own interests.

It's about keeping Iran out of it so it doesn't escalate. Have to demonstrate a willingness to get involved while doing the diplomatic work behind the scenes to de-escalate. They are telling Israel they can have their revenge on Hamas but they need to bring things down a few notches. Don't occupy Gaza, don't starve them out, don't commit war crimes, make an effort to avoid collateral damage, etc. At the same time, they are telling Iran they don't want a wider conflict but are ready to fuck them sideways if they even think about escalating. Israel doesn't need any help fighting unless someone else piles on.

Very interesting and I appreciate the candor.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. Of course Russia is involved. They are allied with Iran and Hamas is a proxy for Iran. The next action will be in Asia unless cooler heads prevail.

Not a chance. Those guys are out in the street with slings and rocks. Then you’ve got some terrorists with a little bit of equipment that are no match for Israel. The CSGs are for Iran.

It breaks if you install AUR packages because they keep their main repository behind Arch. It’s an awful distribution. They add a nice looking custom desktop but otherwise add no value. They are a bunch of amateur clowns too. There’s no good reason to use it over Endeavour if one is looking for an easier Arch.

Git and GNU stow.

Probably live on a million- maybe 2- and spend most of my time giving the rest away.

Trial lawyers often work with fairly large datasets and some specialized applications. There’s a ton of discovery materials for a case like this one and it’s all indexed and searchable. They will have deposition transcripts that need to be searchable so they can check them while a witness is on the stand. They will also be running presentations and playing weird video formats. They usually need a good CPU and a nice chunk of RAM because the last thing they need is a laggy computer in court when everyone is watching.

Exactly. Attorneys leave their big firms and start their own for clients like him. No serious firm is going to take him. She doesn’t have any IT people. She went to Best Buy looking for a laptop with HDMI out and they sold her that thing.

Almost zero chance she is with a serious firm right now. No large firm wants Trump as a client. She’s most likely operating a little boutique firm. This happens all the time when a lawyer wants the client and the firm doesn’t due to a conflict, negative attention, etc. A handful of people and maybe an office manager with no other admin staff. There’s no IT. She needed a laptop with HDMI out for presentations in court and wanted it to be fast too. She probably went to Best Buy asking for that and walked out with a gaming laptop.
