The initial push into the land is often funded by their agricultural ministry. Settlers force Palestinians off their land (with IDF support) to put their own sheep/goats out to pasture. The WSJ had a video earlier this year where they interview settlers and they show the reporters explicitly how they are receiving funding from the ministry. The rest of the funds come from private American donors who enthusiastically support the illegal annexations.

So the solution to forced rebooting is to have to suffer through the ridiculous boot times for windows every day?

You're right to leave. One should always reconsider any relationship with someone who requires your adherence to their religion

Part of the success of authoritarian religions is that use the risk of ostracization as a tool of control. It isn't easy to abandon your community, even one that treats you badly. Feeling alone in the world with no support is frightening enough to keep people in line

In one of my old jobs we had a couple thousand line shell script called something like prod_corrections_adhoc.ksh. It was used to jam through emergency fixes between code releases.

It still has 'adhoc corrections' from 2006

Is there any material difference between Edge and Chrome? I'm forced to use either of them for work and as far as I can tell they perform the same

Personally I prefer the flavour of plant-based alternatives over dairy milk. So I don't see myself having any interest in buying it.

However, if they can engineer milk proteins for cheese production than I am very excited. Casein proteins are biochemical miracles and no plant-based cheeses are able to mimic the protein matrix in cheese properly. Instead they end up relying on starches to set, which isn't the same at all.

Why are we starting new coal mines anywhere?

Generally agree, but damaging gas facilities can have undesirable consequences. An extreme methane leak is worse than combusting that gas

Prejudices against the LGBT community are already present in so many people that you don't need brainwashing. Instead, this is about leveraging and amplifying the existing prejudice for political purposes.
