With all these puns, I can’t understand Netanyahu guys are talking about.

I checked before this comment and it is posted on the TED channel, not TED X.

I lost a lot of respect for Ted Talks when these guys were allowed to use theirs as an ad.

We’re gonna need you to pick a side.

I have a tattoo that means “I don’t know, I don’t speak japanese.” It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn’t speak the language.

That’s not what’s going on here, but okay I guess.

Edit to insert a comment I wrote elsewhere:

In case people aren’t clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren’t infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don’t be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel’s ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

They are the soldiers responsible for operating the missile defense system.

Better to wait and buy merch that’ll actually benefit the campaign instead of some dropshipper on amazon.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

There are many causes of power surges. While one potential cause is poorly maintained equipment, that is far from the only cause. Things like lightning strikes, tree or storm damage, load fluctuations, or equipment faults can cause them. They happen quickly enough that the protective systems can’t always prevent damage to equipment downstream, but those systems are designed to protect the distribution equipment, not the loads themselves. Surge protectors are designed to protect your loads from surges and are important devices to protect sensitive equipment. OP is supposedly an electrical engineer, but this is either outside of their wheelhouse or they are just trying to jump on the enshittification bandwagon.

Then why would you imply that power surges are necessarily caused by shitty infrastructure and not by physics/nature/technical limitations/unpreventable system faults? Just to feed into the enshitification circle-jerk?
