<3 Sorry about your experience with the far-left lot. Their behaviour is unacceptable, and they aren't your friends.

Am Yisrael Chai.


Erm. No? The Amalekites are “just” the enemies of Israel.


The 188th commandment says to wipe out Amalek completely, male and female, young and old, sparing none, since evil has no future. Livestock too.

Maimonides elaborates that when the Jewish people wage war against Amalek, they must request the Amalekites to accept the Seven Laws of Noah and pay a tax to the Jewish kingdom. If they refuse, they are to be executed.

There are more moderate interpretations, but this discussion is about Ashkenazi fundamentalists.


Sure but this sounds exactly like the original definition of jihad or even “from the river to the sea” but people will get very upset if you suggest they mean they want to commit genocide when they chant it. I don’t think an argument over the meaning of ancient words is relevant or helpful here


Absolutely not. "Jihad" is mainly about personal internal struggle. "Amalek" is only about genocide.


I logged in around 2024-07-09 10:22 UTC, and I hope the stories in review don't get accepted. You might want to demo the product in a slightly less open way, though.


Currently, our cloud service isn't publicly accessible, so we've been exploring the best way to demonstrate our product's features and functionality. To address this, we've created some demo credentials and a product instance for demo purposes. Additionally, we've taken a snapshot of a cleaner version of the product, which we refresh weekly.

We will also explore more to see if there is a better way to do this.


Coincidence? Or poor hygiene standards? I have been consuming raw milk from safe, controlled, legal sources in Europe for decades without any issues.


The differences in US and EU farming practices is sometimes astounding, both in terms of hygiene and animal welfare. It's still not a great idea to drink unpasteurised milk here in Europe though. Udders still get dirty, cows still get infections - you can still get unlucky.


I worked on a few OSGi projects in the early 2000s. Rama and their claims trigger funny vibes in me, OSGi meets K8s meets Clojure cult. I'm looking forward to future releases, though.


What’s good about the royals?


I guess there is something good about them for the BBC, it has a endless stream of nonsense to publish


Isn’t it time to abolish the monarchy?

(p.s. before anyone bites my crownless head off: no the mod is not arguing for monarchy, and yes that would be just as much of a flamebait generic tangent.)


Geez dude, we are living in two very different Britains.


He listed a series of facts. You are living in that Britain even if you don't realize or accept it. The different Britain you believe you inhabit may exist only in your mind.

> Humans are diverse.


it just sounds like you might have ADHD.

how many browser windows and tabs do you have open usually?


And yet, many modern, recent apps can't even encode the accented European character in my given name. Sigh.
