Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)

I checked the date on that article. It was published today. US confirms holding up sale of heavy bombs it feared Israel would use in Rafah Feeling its concerns over looming major offensive weren’t getting through to Israel, Washington took unprecedented step to ensure its heavy explosives weren’t used in south Gaza city By JACOB MAGID FOLLOW Today, 7:30 am https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-confirms-holding-up-sale-of-heavy-bombs-it-feared-israel-would-use-in-rafah/?utm_source=article_hpsidebar&utm_medium=desktop_site&utm_campaign=us-signals-backing-for-limited-op-after-idf-takes-over-gazan-side-of-rafah-crossing -

This is what's new: Confirmation of the arms pause came just hours after Israel sent tanks into the city in southern Gaza. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/us/politics/israel-biden-arms.html You think the timing of that confirmation is just a coincidence? -

I guess I've seen I've seen the Holocaust shamelessly exploited too many times in order to justify Israel's tactics in its invasion of Gaza such as the meme "Deadliest Day for Jews Since the Holocaust" and similar formulations. Or criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza being equated with anti-Semitism. source -

Would this be the same Joe Biden who is now withholding bombs from Israel because of its plans to invade Rafah? Or is that a different Joe Biden? -

And is Israeli solicitude for the welfare of reporters the same reason they won't allow them to visit camps where Hamas prisoners are being held?(whether all those being held are actually Hamas soldiers or linked at all to Hamas is another matter) -

Reporters have made it clear that they don't expect any protection from the Israelis. And your foolish comment about Al Jazeera demonstrates precisely why independent outside reporters are needed. People like you will reflexively use the affiliations of those reporters currently inside GAZa to disqualify them. -
"How much protein is in an egg? On average, a medium-size egg contains around 6.4 grams of protein which makes up around 12.6% of the overall edible portion." How much protein i The thing is, eggs don't just happen by magic, do they? It takes chicken feed. And what does chicken feed consist of? "The main ingredient of all chicken feed (over 85%) is grains and grain by-products, protein-producing seeds, and meal made from them such as canola or soybean meal. So, in essence, all chicken is “grain-fed.” And what is the ratio of chicken feed consumed to eggs generated: "The average FCR can vary depending on various factors, including genetics, nutrition, management practices, and environmental conditions. However, a commonly accepted range for FCR in laying hens is between 2,5 and 4,0. This means that, on average, it takes 2,5 to 4,0 kilograms of feed to produce one dozen (12) eggs" So if it takes on average 3.25 kilograms to produce 12 eggs, that mean takes about 250 grams of grain, over half a pound, to produce one egg or about 7 grams of protein. Not so efficient. As you apparently aren't aware, a far more efficient way to get a complete protein is to combine eggs with soybeans in a 2 to 1 ratio. For pulses the ratio is closer to 1 to 1. It's clear that the civilizations of the east have hit upon a far more efficient way of getting their protein needs met than yours does. What a shocker that is!

Trump will not give a penny to Ukraine - Hungary PM Orban

Just as in the case of what Trump says, there's very little that Orban says that should ever be believed. This is one of those very rare instances where he's speaking honestly. -
Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand
placeholder replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The sense I get from the MIT article I've linked to is that it could take centuries to return the climate more or less to where it was before (keeping in mind that climates are dynamic moving targets) but not millennia. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-long-will-it-take-temperatures-stop-rising-or-return-normal-if-we-stop-emitting#:~:text=Temperatures will likely stop rising,we started burning fossil fuels. But no one knows for sure. Also, none of the scenarios addressed in this article posited active CO2 removal intervention by humans over and above natural processes. I don't hold out much hope for that being feasible anytime soon, but who knows? -
Et tu, Biden? Biden withheld bomb shipment to Israel out of fear it could be used in Rafah: Israel's Rafah plans prompted review of weapons transfers, official says. https://news.google.com/articles/CBMid2h0dHBzOi8vYWJjbmV3cy5nby5jb20vUG9saXRpY3MvYmlkZW4tYWRtaW5pc3RyYXRpb24tcGF1c2VzLWFtbXVuaXRpb24tc2hpcG1lbnRzLWlzcmFlbC11cy1vZmZpY2lhbHMvc3Rvcnk_aWQ9MTA5OTkzMjcw0gF7aHR0cHM6Ly9hYmNuZXdzLmdvLmNvbS9hbXAvUG9saXRpY3MvYmlkZW4tYWRtaW5pc3RyYXRpb24tcGF1c2VzLWFtbXVuaXRpb24tc2hpcG1lbnRzLWlzcmFlbC11cy1vZmZpY2lhbHMvc3Rvcnk_aWQ9MTA5OTkzMjcw?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen I guess Biden is now on the side of the terrorists, too
