Using the pasta water for the sauce makes it less runny. YMMV on whether that’s a good thing.

As another 90s kid that watched the prequels in theatres as they came out: I enjoyed the originals, even though I was only about half your age at the time. Probably worth noting that my mum made sure that I watched the original trilogy before Phantom Menace. And I’m sorry but the acting in the PT is supposed to be better than in the OT? What? No. Nothing against the actors because a lot of it was due to writing (especially for Anakin and Padmé’s shared scenes, especially especially in II where Anakin is such a fucking creep) and direction, but no.
Around 15% here in Germany. That’s more than I expected, but it isn’t mainstream. At least not in the sense that people will expect MacOS behaviour by default on their computers, or even to the point where you can expect familiarity with MacOS from most users.
We clearly live in different bubbles because this is the first time I’ve seen someone refer to MacOS as “very mainstream”. iOS, sure, but I haven’t seen many Macs out in the wild. It’s certainly not common to the point where people would expect MacOS behaviour as the default.
Fair. It still should be communicated better though, because it really does feel like a bug when you first encounter it.
Yeah. It’s one of those things where I’m sure it’s genuinely useful to some people but why on Earth is it on by default?!
Turtle. Or tortoise. Same word for both in German.
So you are fine with deliberate attacks on civilians, so long as they’re Israeli civilians. That’s really all I needed to know here. Bye.
Hamas did not lead any peace talks worth a damn and their “armed resistance” has only ever consisted of attacks on civilians, usually by firing missiles at settlements in unambiguously Israeli territory (attacking military installations or even settlements in the West Bank would’ve been at least somewhat defensible, but that’s not what they’ve been doing) and then hiding behind their own civilian population to hinder Israeli retaliation, getting them killed in the process. They also did all that from Gaza, an area that Israel de-occupied after the Second Intifada, and which could have served as a positive example of peaceful Palestinian self-government and eventually independence instead of the opposite.
Hamas has set the Palestinian cause back by decades. They’re important in the same way cancer is important to the human body.
Another issue was that Vista had very steep system requirements, which Microsoft deliberately understated. As a result it ran like shit on a ton of machines despite them technically meeting the requirements.
And it worked. Try finding any professional art/design jobs that don’t use Adobe.
Regarding your initial set of links, I think it’s clear that I don’t consider these particularly credible. With that said, the accusation obviously has some degree of surface-level plausibility. But there’s more to genocide than “people are being killed”.
What about the Israeli government themselves claiming a (very dubious) 50/50 civilian-militant casualty ratio?
I don’t have any issues with that. I know, that sounds callous but considering that urban warfare and sieges always have exceptionally horrific civilian death tolls even without one side (Hamas) very deliberately placing as many civilians between them and the enemy as they can, I’d argue that those numbers are actually exceptionally good.
We’ve flattened cities in WW2 with better casualty ratios than that.
Not for lack of trying. Civilian casualties were basically a non-concern for the Americans (this is also true of Israel), and the Brits very deliberately sought out attacked purely civilian targets in a terror bombing campaign (this is not). Me saying Israels conduct reminds me of the Allies in WW2 was not a commendation of either. I consider both to be necessary evils to eliminate the Nazis and Hamas respectively.
What about prominent members of the Israeli government openly saying the intention is to commit genocide?
Ben-Gvir and his party certainly would like to turn it into a genocide, but coalition governments don’t work that way. A public statement from one minor coalition member doesn’t make something government policy. Otzma Yehudit has two ministers and six seats in the Knesset, they’re very much not able to dictate government policy. The fact that they haven’t been kicked out of the coalition over their remarks is concerning, but so far that’s all it is.
Ideally I would want to see governmental acknowledgment, but I wouldn’t call it a hard requirement. But ultimately it depends on the evidence presented, and on the people and institutions who agree/disagree with it. I can’t really give you a more firm answer than that.
Majority. As long as they can present convincing evidence (i.e. evidence that doesn’t rely on trusting the word of Hamas and/or their friends in Doha and Tehran).
Edit: I’ll also say that I trust some Western governments more than others. I’ll take the word of the current German government over that of the current Italian one, for example.
I can’t speak for them, but a general consensus among Western governments.
It’s the objective truth. Yes, the IDF could probably do more to protect civilians but at the absolute worst what they’re doing is comparable to the conduct of the Western Allies against Germany in WW2.
Usually Steam. I like the idea of GoG, but a lot of the time if you want mods you’re basically forced to buy it on Steam because of the Workshop. Also, I kinda like having everything in one place.
I don’t think you can lump Endeavour and Garuda together. Yes, they’re both based on Arch but Endeavours basically is Arch with a GUI installer and sane defaults while Garuda changes a ton of things and adds a ton of customisations that make it very different from a plain Arch (or Endeavour) system.
As yet another 30-something year old I’ve never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?
