  • I did read it before I posted, thank you. In the same article it cited speculation it didn’t revoke the original for fear it would cause more diehard originalists to splinter and form their own more dangerous group(s), not that I endorse that reasoning, just that there are reasons not to revoke outside of it being a sham PR move.

    You mean to tell me that an attack on Isreal largely had Jewish deaths? I’m shocked!! While the stats VS demographics can’t feasibly disprove the angle you’re aiming at, I similarly think it definitely doesn’t prove it either.

    If you mean the supernova rave, here’s an article from an Israeli newspaper suggesting Hamas wouldn’t have known the rave was still ongoing and later says, “According to a police source, the investigation also shows that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived to the scene and fired at terrorists there apparently also hit some festival participants” which really muddies the waters about who is responsible for what.

    The hostages, that by the large majority of accounts (that I’ve seen, so sure some bias there) have been treated as well as their guards? Or do you mean the ones that got shot by the IDF, or the ones that got blown up by the IDF?

    I don’t mean to suggest that Hamas is some perfect beyond reproach organization, but from the actions I have seen of late, they’re largely just fighting against the state forcing them into these conditions.

    SCUBA, LASER, JPEG, ROM, etc. all break the “pronounced as the nested word” argument.

    I’m down for people to pronounce it however they please (assuming it’s recognizable as gif), but the post-hoc rationalizations trying to prove their side as the one true pronunciation are silly. The only rationalization that makes any sense to me is the “creator pronounces it as jif”, but language doesn’t work that way so even that doesn’t matter as far as “one true pronunciation” goes.




  • On that same vein, recipes where you have the same ingredient going to multiple places irritate me when they don’t specify quantity in the main recipe, but only in the ingredients list.

    For example if the ingredients are 2 cups of soy sauce, 1.5 cups for sauce, 0.5 cups for marinade, I want the recipe to say “add soy sauce to marinade (0.5 cups)” or something like that not, “add soy sauce to marinade” or “add remainder of soy sauce to marinade”.

    Remainder could work if a very recent instruction says something to the effect of “measure 2 cups of soy sauce, add 1.5 cups to sauce” so there is a remainder to add, not just “lol add the rest idiot”
