My grass doesn't grow for like 5 months of the year. If you don't have winter, you don't need to store your mower for half the year.

E.g., Russia saying it's denazifying Ukraine.

It's an ancient fascist trope.

That's what the phrase means in Palestinian culture. It's a verb phrase that means "to become a statistic in the name of the glory of Islam." Stop trying to romance it up into some epic struggle for human rights. Gaza doesn't give Gaza human rights. These dead innocents are victims of generations of brainwashing and hopelessness. Despite that, 98% of the Gaza has managed to dodge all the famine campaigns and indiscriminate carpet bombing. I have hope that after Hamas is gone, enough Palestinians may embrace modern human rights like representative government and due process instead of just having an actually far right religious dictatorship and rule by assassination, instead of living in the eighth century but with drones and rocket launchers.

I'm not religious at all. Funny you think I'm a follower of some religious nutjob that I've never heard of. Can I assume that there is some other, equally nutty religious psychopath, for whom you'd throw your life away, or that you just think that's rational behavior? I don't know. Maybe just stick with "everything that makes me too sad is Zionism."

Corporations, now. Can't even really call it a practice. They are businesses that employ doctors. In law, most civilized places, you can't own stake in a law firm unless you are a member of the bar. Makes for a more service focused industry.

Another thing I haven't seen mentioned is the way people find doctors now has changed. People look online, and there are plenty of sites that are just aggregators for data about doctors. Anyone can scrape that info and then setup a webpage to rate doctors. So now doctors are finding that they aren't getting patients if they aren't getting good ratings, so now we have doctors just telling patients what they want to hear, prescribing what they want to be prescribed. Gotta keep up that 9.8/10 rating to keep patients coming in.

Scientists have unearthed the remnants of more than 1,700 viruses from deep inside a glacier in western China. Most of these viruses are new to science.

With this discovery, the number of ancient viruses recovered from glaciers has grown fiftyfold.The viruses, gathered from a 1,000-foot ice core taken from the sprawling Guliya Glacier on the Tibetan Plateau, date back 41,000 years and span three major shifts from cold to warm.

“I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work on us.”

Title. Having some issues with inadequate heat in an apartment and need to compile some hard data. Can't seem to find something that checks all the boxes. Needs to be under $100.

Thank you.

Edit: Needs to be friendly enough for an old lady to be able to plug it in and turn it on.
