Now known as Cavazos. The country decided to maybe not name bases after traitorous losers.

Here’s another factor: The ISS is in a high inclination orbit that is excellent at overflying most of the US and Russia. Not so great as a base for deep space missions.
Both of these astronauts were multiple-mission space veterans before they left. They have space shuttle experience. Sunita has prior command experience on ISS. These two are basically the most veteran professionals that NASA has on the roster.
They have now been resupplied with clothing on a Progress module. I think it was like 45 days before that showed up.
They have both stated that they’re happy for more time on orbit, and I’m mostly inclined to believe them.
Without a draft it’s just a Keynsian jobs program like CCC or Teach for America. Not the worst idea in the world.
No. I would like to go back to beans, please.
But the floppy diskette and the “hard disks” did in fact have circular discs inside that spin around.
I suspect that the word diskette was created as an analog to tape “cassette”. With both diskette and cassette, the media is stored inside an enclosure, and you don’t have to take it out manually.
The Geneva conventions are not monolithic documents, and they are not completely uncontroversial. I believe the article 51 you refer to is in a 1978 addon protocol that Israel has not ratified. For reference, there is a different article 51 in the original 1949 conventions, that talks about when an occupying army may conscript civilian labor.
Like any other international treaties, the conventions only apply to countries that have signed on and ratified the treaties. The United States and Israel have not ratified the additional protocol, so from their perspective they are not bound by the text.
The original 1949 conventions do have protections for civilians, but they are weaker protections. Ratiometric evidence of civilian casualties is heartbreaking, but unfortunately simply not relevant to the 1949 conventions. Under those rules, if a facility is used by your enemy to harm you, you can attack that facility. Period.
IDF is always careful to portray how they scrupulously follow the 1949 conventions when they speak to the media. Clear violations that become public are referred to investigation.
As in any war, some elements of IDF are almost certainly violating the conventions. But as a USian I don’t think I’ll get close to understanding the truth any time soon. I basically don’t trust any news source coming out of that region any more.
Quadruple the reactivity!

I believe the German tanks are already traversing the steppes of Ukraine that they yearn for.
criminal lawsuit?
What? Do they mean “criminal prosecution?”
Instead the story is that the source engine was located in the “Src” directory in their Visual Source Safe. And the Half Life 1 engine was in a separate branch named GoldSrc because it was about to ship real soon, and they needed to keep changes to a minimum.
“gradient descent” is a jargon word for one kind of training method.
Could be your freezer cycling up and down. Mine gets real warm right after I load in a week of groceries. I also should probably store more stuff in the freezer for thermal mass.
Any type of parole has to be at least marginally less dangerous for the hostage than execution.
If you don’t have the resources to provide for your POWs, the correct solution is parole, not execution.
But in cases of Israelis who also served in the IDF, the rational choice is to kill them instead of giving the IDF a propaganda win.
This is a war crime. You can’t execute POWs just because the enemy is getting close to the POW camp.
Fracking means that the in United States is the chief petro state of the world, and can safely ignore OPEC.
This situation is going to continue in geopolitics at least into the 2040s regardless of what the policy on renewables is.
Well it probably wasn’t a Vic Mackey-style rubber hose attack, because it sounds like this chump is getting hauled into court.
Some research earlier today suggested that some specific model may even have alkaline batteries, which are less thermal runaway-ey than lithium ions.
I’m just seriously impressed that someone could get enough explosive into the package and still have a functional pager that didn’t set off alarms.
