  • I think it’s a pretty verifiable thing and that both sides have motive to push prop.

    One just caught lying about this already. I don’t mean historically I mean this actual incident.

    Instead of waiting as long as we have the ordinance should have been shown through spokesmen immediately and at the press conference the ministry held surrounded by bodies.

    It takes time to do a convincing fake. So I expect this debate will reignite later.


  • The European and US intelligence services estimated the death toll at ~50 and 100-300 respectively.

    I assume satellite imagery and counting…there’s probably also UAVs from all the great powers recording footage.

    Seperately im fairly certain the Israeli security services have spies all over gaza. Somewhat grimly I think the air strikes have had a large component of people on the ground marking areas for strikes after confirming the presence of some Hamas member. It was a strategy exploited during the Russia/Ukraine war and it’s something Israelis can do because they are largely the same ethnicity.

    As for the size of the explosion it’s not a great source but you can review pyrotechnic demonstrations of actual military munitions versus like a small special effects explosion and a lot of fuel. The former tends to not actually have a huge fire ploom like the hospital bombing had. There is one it’s just relatively small. If the rocket misfired and had a lot of ignited fuel spraying over the area… It causes that sort of imagery and casualties.


  • The hospital isn’t destroyed and no staff were killed.

    A bunch of refugees in the parking lot, a lot less than reported by the health ministry, got killed by being coated in propellant and ignited. Fuel explosions make a big visual effect, but don’t really destroy buildings.

    The same health ministry that over reported casualties is also hiding the ordinance remnants that did it instead of showing the world.

    They get used all over especially in differential equations.

    Log10 basically only comes up in statistics for doing a log plot in base 10.

    Basically high school math won’t use the natural log much, but once you hit university higher level math it becomes apparent it’s the one everyone actually uses regularly.


  • The day after I moved to Germany I went to the hospital emergency room with what was later diagnosed as a kidney stone and stomach infection.

    I was given over the counter painkillers and some cramp medication and told to drink lots of beer to treat the stomach infection by the doctor.

    I am serious. I asked about the complications drinking on the pain meds and he just said it was OK.

    mixing those meds with alcohol fucks your liver



  • It’s functionally a way to communicate happiness with the service.

    The restaurants I am a regular at know if I don’t leave a fat tip I wasn’t happy with how they performed. Waiting 20+ minutes just to pay is unacceptable to give a recent example. They were understaffed and some old dude In the attached hotel insisted on print out copies of his reservation details that he then argued about. I could have paid, cash or card, and been out in under a minute while this dude was reading his papers but instead I just sat there for almost half an hour after finishing my meal.

    Should they still get paid unlike in the American system? Yes. But I’m fine with tipping as a general concept. In Germany we call it Trinkgeld and it’s usually 10%, and not exactly a thing you are expected to do every time you eat out, but I usually do 20%+ if I was satisfied.
