"Fresh evidence of deadly unlawful attacks in the occupied Gaza Strip, gathered by Amnesty International, demonstrates how Israeli forces continue to flout international humanitarian law, obliterating entire families with total impunity."
When I posted this yesterday I had no idea what Thursday would bring: Canadian Federal government considering BANNING SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIOS because car manufacturers can't design keys that don't suck and the port lets cars be loaded by the dozen into containers.
"Some of the very governments that announced they will cut off funds to UNRWA over these allegations have, in the meantime, continued to arm Israeli forces despite overwhelming evidence that these arms are used to commit war crimes and serious human rights violations. Rushing to freeze funds for humanitarian aid, based on allegations that are still being investigated, while refusing to even consider suspending support for the Israeli military is a stark example of double standards."

Wait, NORAD tracks my sleigh? In real-time?! This is outrageous! I never gave permission for this!
Goodness gracious, all I want to do is break into your houses and leave gifts relative to how good I think you’ve been, which I’ve been tracking meticulously in my book along with your constant whereabouts and sleeping patterns.
the cpu is very tired. it is eepy. the cpu has had a very long day of leaking data and wants to take just a small sleep. it eeby and neebies to sleebie. cpu sleepy and need bed by time. the cpu is currently experiencing critical levels of being a sleehjy little guy and needs to go to beb.
This is what we refer to as "Race to idle", the idea that CPUs are more power efficient if they exhaust their workload in the shortest timeframe possible and then enter a low power state. In this essay I will
Whilst I like the idea of the ‘2 pizza team’ as originated by Amazon, at some point we are going to need more than just me on this.
Currently it shows a 26% positive rate on ~12,000 tests but the trend on the graph makes it seem like cases are way up - they're not. The high 2022 datapoint is from 450,000 tests with a 36% positive rate - a significantly worse situation. The 2023 peak datapoint of 44% positivity is only from 3000 tests. With a lot less testing happening the results are significantly skewed by selection bias.
We also can't make any comment on outcomes from the positivity results data but I'd wager more recent positive results are less likely to result in hospitalization or death (due to vaccines or natural immunity).
Another reason that COVID is less fatal now is that hospitals have more resources available (less hospitalizations) than they did during peak pandemic and thus can actually treat patients. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8025594/
Thanks for the wastewater link, thats an interesting data source. Not sure why you think asking for a source is "sniping" you're the one who made a claim and I was interested in the basis and wastewater data isn't really in the top results of searches...
