Israel-US ties at 'historic low'

pyth

Israel has one of the largest industrial arms sectors in the world. They have homegrown technology like Mirkava tanks, Harpy missiles, radar and detection systems, etc... To a certain degree you are correct, but they also have a booming export market and a lot of the weapons purchased are modified to a considerable degree. Cf. F-15I and F-16I.

pyth

Damn it, that's probably the second time you've corrected me on that too.

I just checked, I misspelled every damn country name, some brutally, and you picked the one with the one letter off? oh well.

...or to his growing belief that it is socially acceptable to be stoned as fuck all day long.

That's not including at least $3bil in additional military aid and arms transfers.

pyth

They aren't loans. It's tribute - literally and figuratively - this is not money that the US will ever see again.

pyth

Yea, that's worked so well so far.

Just same the same that we can leave Japan now that there is Korean, Taiwan and the Philippines. Or the same way that they can leave S. America because they have Colombia etc...

The only country the US has ever really moved away from in the ME is Saudi Arabia, and even that was only to Doha and Turkey, and the US still uses KSA assets like runways etc...

Your statement is unfortunately not at all reflected in reality.

pyth

I believe it when there is a serious effort to end the $3bil in financial aid, and the additional ~$3bil in military aid and weapons transfers.

Only when military and economic tribute is ended, or at least seriously questioned, will some serious progress have been made. Until that time, the US is still the handmaiden of Israel's whims.

physorg, scienceblogs, sciam.com, nature, arxiv, etc...

Those are just the one's off the top of my head, not including the hundreds of other quality personal blogs. Hard science is alive and well, just not on TV like you say.

One of my favorite programs growing up starred Tom Seleck who did a great series about space and the solar system. It was soft spoken, clear and informative. Those don't really exist anymore. Although NOVA does still have some decent shows, but has annoyingly degraded. I would blame NDT for this - his showboating is frustrating - but it's the overall culture that has degraded all PBS programing. I watch a lot of NASATV and podcasts, those are great sources for snippets of science direct from the investigators mouth.

To say that it doesn't exist is totally false, there are millions of resources (not including books) that exist if you make an effort.

There is also a complete torrent available.

Having recently watched both series, DTUC is a good prelude to Connections.

There is also a good torrent out there, I am helping seed it.

pyth

I have never made either. I just love mead.

This persons has just forfeited their right to live. They have just collectively degraded the entire species. This is just unconscionably bad in every single conceivable way. Get off my reddit.

Did you put an earlier version on /trees?

It is perhaps true that single women are single by choice and single men are single due to circumstance.

Key insight.

Why can't the cult of celebrity be a suicide cult? If they would just voluntarily exterminate themselves the rest of us would be so much better off.

pyth

Every canadian city over 100,000 has a large asian population. Winnipeg has a lot of Chinese students and immigrants, but even far more Fillipinos. I love all the diversity and immigration and welcome their friendship, but as a lot of people have stated, I am not a fan of the self-segregation. One of the worst groups for this is even 3rd or 4th generation South Asians (aka Indians). A lot, not all, seem to have a brown-only policy which is offputting.

I believe a lot of right-thinking white people have gone out of their way to encounter, befriend and learn from the various groups who live in Canada, but being rejected without any effort by those you would otherwise embrace is not cool. That is, it would go a long way if certain groups that preferred to stay self-segregated would be more open to relations with out-group people. I think most white people would welcome this.

wtf?

I was about to downvote, until i realized public money was going to some private moron's funeral. i desperately hope this is not true.

Perhaps you should read the article.
