The explosive material presumably not detected for some months, so probably not very easy to detect

Israel absolutely had incredibly specific intel [1] of the attack plans a year in advance of the attack, yet chose to do nothing out of arrogance

Went to look at tailscale vpn and didn't realize it was a service entirely contained within tailscale, so I can't use my existing Mullvad account or credit tailscale with my already-purchased Mullvad credits :(

No wonder, I recently installed the latest sonoma beta and couldn't for the life of me get Mullvad to work. Glad to hear Mullvad is working on a workaround. I even considered downgrading back to Ventura this morning. I feel validated!

perhaps we should sidestep the problem of profitability in healthcare entirely and create a non-profit healthcare system? which even the most free-market loving enthusiast should be in agreement with -- inelastic demand and all

Damn, you really said I don't believe it, therefore it couldn't possibly be the case. Crazy

Suppliers lobby to limit the amount of housing being built. Suppliers build luxury apartment buildings which are out of reach for lower-income residents, further limiting supply in the lower band of the housing market. Surely the suppliers share a large part of the blame here.

Really telling when a person equates low wage with providing no value in society. So much for "essential workers" being forced to work in-person during the pandemic

Sorry, political neutrality doesn't exist.
Inaction in the face of injustice, means you are advocating for the status quo. E.g. the white moderate from Letter from Birmingham Jail.

Funny thing is with these "free speech" advocates, allowing hate speech (antisemitism, racism, sexism, etc.) on your platform is anything but politically neutral. It's obviously capitulating to hateful groups like white supremacists/neonazis.

Infrastructure is so hard to build because of NIMBYs, and you've indicated you're one of them. Also, it's much more costly to build infrastructure for low-density development, so you're complaining about a problem which your advocacy directly causes. Oh, and lack of public transportation directly increases traffic

Totally, that's why rent in Manhattan is extremely affordable :)

As opposed to American cities, famously known for sustainable and efficient transportation and not expansive suburban sprawl, pedestrian-hostile development, and adding more lanes to already-inefficient highways to induce additional traffic
