- Comment on Biden will leave office as the 'worst president' in modern memory 1 week ago:
An exclusive Daily Mail poll found Biden was less impressive than Jimmy Carter, who was voted out after a single term after presiding over double-digit inflation and a botched effort to rescue American hostages in Iran.
The poll result also makes him worse in voters’ minds than Richard Nixon, who forced to resign rather than face impeachment over the devastating Watergate scandal.
Yet when 1006 registered voters were asked to rank the last nine presidents in order, from best to worst, Biden came at the very bottom of the table, making him the worst in 47 years.
Our poll found that more than half of American voters believed he was wrong to pardon his son. And it sent Biden’s historically low approval rating dropping another four points, to 37 percent.
'Voters have obviously looked at his age, general conduct in office, his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the situation at the southern border, and decided that, in their view, it qualifies him to be the worst president in modern history.
Ronald Reagan, remembered as the leader who won the Cold War and whose economic policies reduced inflation and created jobs, comes out top, followed by Barack Obama, the nation’s first African-American president.
Bill Clinton comes third, suggesting that Biden cannot blame his lowly position on anti-Democrat bias.
Nixon, who left office under the cloud of Watergate, is second to bottom. Yet ‘Tricky Dicky’ , who stepped down after it became known that he was involved in covering up a break-in by members of a group linked to his re-election campaign, as they sought to bug the offices of opponents, is still more popular than Biden.

- Comment on At least 15 rescue workers killed in Israeli strike in Lebanon 5 weeks ago:
The strike in Douris, near the city of Baalbek, destroyed a building of the civil defence agency, which is linked to the Lebanese government and not affiliated with the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah. The regional governor, Bachir Khodr, said the victims included the city’s civil defence chief, Bilal Raad.
The Lebanese civil defence carries out emergency services including search and rescue work and fire-fighting response.
According to Lebanon’s health ministry, at least 192 emergency and health workers have been killed in Israeli air strikes across the country since the escalation of the conflict with Hezbollah in September.
The attacks come as Israel has intensified its air campaign across Lebanon in recent days, including on Beirut’s southern suburbs, where Hezbollah is based in the capital. The area was hit by air strikes for the fourth consecutive day on Friday following evacuation orders issued by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which says it is targeting infrastructure linked to the group.
The Lebanese government says any agreement should be based on the United Nations Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel. The resolution includes the removal of the group’s fighters and weapons in areas between the Blue Line - the unofficial frontier between Lebanon and Israel - and the Litani River, about 30km (20 miles) from the boundary with Israel.
Israel, however, wants the right to act inside Lebanon if there is any violation of a deal. There are no signs that Hezbollah, or the Lebanese government, are willing to accept such a demand.
Hezbollah has been severely weakened after two months of intense air strikes that destroyed large parts of its infrastructure and killed many of its leaders. But after the initial shock, the group seems to have regrouped, according to analysts, and continues to carry out daily attacks on northern Israel, although not with the same intensity.

True!
I wonder if the numbers will have an impactful change when comparing the people that said they would move out of the U.S. due to 2016/2020/2024.

That would require money, which most of the working class does not have.
The people spewing this rhetoric are those higher up the food chain; moving out of the US was also said in 2016 and 2020.

Wrong question and framing.
Israel’s goal is not to get rid of Hamas or their leadership.
Their real goal has been to continue the genocide of the Palestinian people so as to take 100% control of the Palestinian land and to kickout the natives.
- Comment on Fugees - How Many Mics 3 months ago:
At its core, “How Many Mics” is a critique of the music industry’s focus on materialism and the pursuit of fame, at the expense of meaningful content. The Fugees, comprised of Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, and Pras Michel, highlight their commitment to using their platform to address social issues and shed light on the plight of marginalized communities. The lyrics convey a strong sense of frustration and disappointment with the state of hip-hop and the superficiality often associated with it.^[[1] beatcrave.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-how-man…]

You Can’t Keep Your Parents’ Skulls [Caitlin Doughty | September 4, 2019 | theatlantic.com]
Under U.S. law, it’s nearly impossible to get permission to decapitate and de-flesh a relative’s remains.
Abuse-of-corpse laws exist for a reason. They protect people’s bodies from being mistreated (ahem, necrophilia). They also prevent a corpse from being snatched from the morgue and used for research or public exhibition without the dead person’s consent. History is littered with such violations. Medical professionals have stolen corpses and even dug up fresh graves to get bodies for dissection and research. Then there are cases like that of Julia Pastrana, a 19th-century Mexican woman with a condition called hypertrichosis, which caused hair to grow all over her face and body. After she died, her husband saw that there was money to be made by displaying Pastrana in freak shows, so he took her embalmed and taxidermied corpse on world tour. Pastrana had ceased to be regarded as human; her corpse had become a possession.
So where do skulls on bookcases come from? In the United States, no federal law prevents owning, buying, or selling human remains, unless the remains are Native American. Otherwise, whether you’re able to sell or own human remains is decided by each individual state. At least 38 states have laws that should prevent the sale of human remains, but in reality the laws are vague, confusing, and enforced at random. In one seven-month period in 2012–13, 454 human skulls were listed on eBay, with an average opening bid of just under $650 (eBay subsequently banned the practice).
If there were any legal wiggle room that might allow a person to get Dad’s head liberated from its fleshy shell, Tanya Marsh would know how to find it. Marsh is a law professor and the expert on human-remains law. “I will argue with you all day long,” she told me, “that it isn’t legal in any state in the United States to reduce a human head to a skull.”^[[1] archive.ph/SE19g]

I agree; growing crops and having a healthy garden takes a lot of labor, time, and multiple tries.
When ever I see and marvel at a new local community garden or personal garden, the first thing that does not come to mind is “that looks easy.”

IIRC: Data has not been overwritten yet; it is just shown to be open to being rewritten.
It can still be recovered with minimal corruption if the device was not used too much, where open storage would be eriten over.

- Comment on If Necromancy suddenly became possible, can the undead be called as a witness during court proceedings? 3 months ago:
It would depend on the type of necromancy, but at the end of the day, I think it would still be a conflict of interest since the person bringing them back would have great say, unless they are considered some type of expert witness necromancer.
Necromancy is the practice of magic involving communication with the dead by summoning their spirits as apparitions or visions for the purpose of divination; imparting the means to foretell future events and discover hidden knowledge.
The necromancer’s capacity to create minions and command them to fight for him or her is generally enough to satisfy even the most critical of viewers. As necromancers might easily be termed one-person armies, they are usually compelling and feared. The fact that they dabble in magic and the supernatural does not help their image as upstanding citizens.
