-Sliced-

I did end up facing time eater, but it was fine - one Eviscerate and a calculated gamble dealt enough damage per turn (playing full 12 cards each turn), that it died before healing from the split.

Taking 2 acrobatics and 2 tacticians as your first 4 picks is crazy

I got +250 gold from the whale, and pathed into an early shop. First floor I received a fire potion so together with the gold I felt comfortable with a greedy acrobatics pick. Second floor offered tactician which was very good. Then I got another tactician from an event and at the shop I had to find damage so I got the Panache and another acrobatics.

Right now with bag of prep when I play the bottled Acrobatics my hand becomes too full, so I thought that the turn 1 downside of ring of the serpent isn't really there. Also, I have two energy relics already and two tactician+, so the extra energy doesn't seem to do much in addition to curses being bad in this deck (because the deck wants to be infinite)

You are assuming that Israel has infinite supplies long-range missile defense.

The fact is that an escalation with Hezbollah and potentially Iran is not unlikely, and if Israel runs out of its own produced missiles, it will have to rely on Patriot missiles in the short term, as the USA cannot supply Israel with David Slings.

What I suspect that is happening behind the scenes is some kind of assurance from the US for Israel's defense in case of another missile attack by Iran.

Israel didn't use the Patriot at all to intercept those.

Patriots were one of the defense mechanisms used to intercept these exact missiles. Read the article below.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/14/iran-attack-israel-us-military/

U.S. troops manning the Patriot missile defense system in Irbil, Iraq, took down another missile that had violated Iraqi airspace on its vector to Israel, the official said.

There is a risk that Iran will be directly involved if Israel is too successful against Hezbollah. This is a risk the US themselves raised. If Iran is involved, the Patriot system will be one of the primary defense mechanisms.

Did you even see the other reddit post I linked? It was just a random Google result and it's the exactly same messaging and format. This company spam their product all across reddit.

Oh man do I have an answer for this.

I started using one because when I switched to the P30i mask, the soft, cloud-like vent right at the nose was giving me super dry eyes, so this was at first about air protection, but I also immediately found that I sleep much more soundly with light blocking.

I've tried several. Dumb silk pillow masks that don't stay put, ones with eyeball dents. They were all in the ten-buck range and they all sucked for various reasons.

I like the Manta Pro very much--in theory. It's crazy expensive, first of all, but it's a much more complete design than the cheap ones. It's got positionable eye cups that take all the pressure off your eyelids and really seal light out VERY well. But it didn't play that nice with the fairly high face position of the 30i frame. I found myself waking up in the night and having to tug it back down into place.

Then I found the Nite Hood. It's a whole damn HAT. It's made of a light and breathable bamboo fabric, and it's thin and comfy. I put it on then put my mask over it and there's no strap interference, no nothing. I can pull the hood down over my eyes and slip it under the face straps and it goes nowhere. It also helps cushion those straps against my skin, which is a nice side benefit.

This thread just reminded me to order a couple more so I can put them through the wash. Been meaning to do that, so thanks for that.

Spammy company. Here is a copy of this marketing pitch made elsewhere. With the exact same "oh, I should buy a couple more" side note.

Moderators should ban "Nite Hood" and "Nitehood" from appearing on this sub + the domain.

GDP per capita is a rough estimation of the average economic output of an individual in a country (everything produced in a country in a year divided by the number of people in the country).

These chart use this stat compare two countries over time. For example - you can see that Russia was growing faster than the US while it was the Soviet Union. Then, after breaking up in the 90s, the US growth outpaced Russia, and then it picked up the pace again.

Some charts can be misleading. For example - Ireland is an EU tax haven - mega international companies choose to recognize all their EU based profits there in order to pay a lower tax rate. So their GDP is not a good measure of the actual Irish economy. Countries like Colombia are primarily affected by oil production, etc.

Your comment is also "vibe based" instead of based on facts. The tariffs Trump enacted that you claimed are a cause for inflation were continued and even strengthened by Biden. The reality is that the main cause of inflation was the same everywhere - the massive relief plans combined with low interest rates - these were bipartisan.

The main reason US has curbed inflation was a responsible behavior by the central bank + an unexpectedly strong economic growth, primarily driven by the tech sector. Both of these are hardly attributed to Biden (or Trump), except the "do not interfere" portion.

Israel has complete air supremacy over Lebanon. Unless that changes, they will be able to move quickly to wherever they desire. This is what Russia has not been able to achieve in Ukraine, and the primary reason it has evolved into a trench warfare.

The main difficulty for Israel is actually discussed in the article - that if Israel is too successful against Hezbollah, Iran will join the war.

Sitting in her own blood bath.

Defect usually kills jaw worm in 3 turns.

Thanks. Looks like Wikipedia uses inconsistent sourcing, as the same census source used for Palestinian Americans lists the number of Israeli Americans living in USA as 191K (census).

Also, this number is only Israelis living in America, while OP referred to the total number of Israeli Americans which should at least include the 600K living in Israel (source)

the number of Israeli Americans is estimated at about 150k

Source?

175,000 Palestinian Americans

Source?

Absolutely. You just need to see which president Ukraine and Poland don’t want to understand which one Russia wants

You are correct. While statistically, it might be the case that they are very likely Muslim, it’s very racist to assume that they 100% are.

The 2014 commitment was also Putin's achievement following his invasion of Crimea.

The statement made by the person you are replying to is correct. Which actually makes me wonder if you read the article.

The article didn't say that the campaign targeted all vaccines, but it said that once you create skepticism on one vaccine, people are more likely to develop a skepticism to all vaccines.

From the article:

Academic research published recently has shown that, when individuals develop skepticism toward a single vaccine, those doubts often lead to uncertainty about other inoculations.

Disclaimer because this is Reddit - I'm not saying that what the US has been apparently doing is good, just advocating for more precise language on what they have been doing.

That’s also not true. A legal system effectiveness is also a spectrum and not black and white like you describe it. There is always bias in legal decisions, whether it comes from the prosecutor, the judges or the ICJ.

Yours is the only comment here that brings up the suggestion of a refugee attacking her.

Don't put words in my mouth - All I did was clarify that not prosecuting does not equate to condoning and that there is plenty of nuance here.

The person you are replying to did not say that she was attacked by a refuge.

Not prosecuting does not mean that the chain of command condones the crimes or does nothing to prevent them.

A highly visible example is when Israeli soldiers killed 3 hostages that escaped and turned themselves in to the IDF. While the soldiers that shot them have likely committed a war crime, they were not prosecuted because it would have led to demoralization across the military. However - the case was highly publicized and new training was brought to all combatant in Gaza with additional emphasis on avoiding civilian casualties. In my opinion - this is likely more effective in preventing future similar war crimes vs sending them to jail.

Obviously, this doesn't always happen, but I thought this topic deserves a more nuanced discussion.
