What Americans Want and why Democrats Failed
Nope. Reducing the federal deficit and having a balanced budget would be more effective. -

Israeli Man Fined for Riding Motorcycle on Phuket Beach, Cites Lack of Signage
Depends. For those who claim he is a victim of Israeli occupation and subject to apartheid, he is a Palestinian holding an Israeli passport. If he is a citizen of Israel, he is an Israeli. The reality is that there was a crude attempt to label Israelis as lawless, assuming the person was juden. The attempt fell flat when it turns out the accused was a man did not qualify. When similar people from France, Australia etc do such things, the attempt to link nationality to behavior is not as forceful. -

Should I Tell My Friend That His Girlfriend Is Trans?
Thanks for the feedback on my post. After considering everything, I’ve decided that I should tell John about Lek. I feel like real friends step up in challenging times, and I owe it to him as a friend to tell him what I know. It hasn’t been an easy choice, but I believe he deserves to know before things get even deeper for him. Now that I’ve made the decision, I’m struggling with how to approach it. I’d appreciate any advice on the best way to go about this. Here are some approaches I’m considering: Direct Approach: Sit down with him one-on-one and tell him directly what I suspect. I’d make it clear I’m only bringing this up because he’s talked about having children, which makes me think he’s unaware. It’s straightforward, but I worry it could come across as blunt or even feel like an ambush. Indirect Approach: Instead of stating that I think Lek is trans, I could ask if he and Lek have discussed topics like family planning and her past. This could lead him to consider the possibility without me explicitly saying it. But this approach might end up being confusing or causing more misunderstanding. Suggest He Talk to Lek: I could encourage John to have a deep, open conversation with Lek about their future, making sure he’s aware of everything important. This way, the truth would ideally come from her, which feels less invasive. However, it’s risky if he doesn’t pick up on the hint. Casually Drop a Hint: Another approach would be to casually mention how common it is to meet trans women in Bangkok or talk about how accepting Thailand is of trans people. It might spark a conversation without me being too direct. But this could go sideways if he doesn’t connect the dots or if he feels I’m trying to plant ideas. Point Out the Children Issue: I could bring up the idea of adoption or other options if he and Lek do want kids, mentioning that pregnancy might be a challenge. This might prompt him to reconsider Lek’s ability to conceive, but it feels a bit bold and could come off as too intrusive. Any ideas on what approach might be best? Thanks again for the support—this is really weighing on me a lot, and I appreciate any useful feedback. -

Whole-house Power-Backup?: Reliable solution for frequent power failures.4K to 6K watts req
You need an industrial UPS and to have the areas of your house wired for it. We have only bothered to put our security system and network on the UPS the batteries are external to the UPS and if we want a longer run time we can just add more batteries. The company is CyberPower the have a 2 year on site warranty (it does work I have used it) this is one of their units, we have 2 x 12v 50 Ah deep cycle batteries. If you need more power either add another unit or buy a bigger one. This is NOT cheap, it is effective. we have a smaller one, the one above is 36,800 + shipping batteries not included, expect to pay at least another 12,000 and up for them (4 x 12v 50Ah) possibly more -

Eight Stand Trial in France Over Beheading of Teacher Samuel Paty
It is quite relevant to show these caricatures to illustrate freedom of expression, in particular in respect to the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo. He actually proposed that Muslim students could look elsewhere or shortly go out of the class if they felt offended. It is absolutely legal in France to criticize or mock religion and the main target has always been the Catholic Church (for centuries). Of course, false rumours have been diffused on social media, in particular that he would have showed a picture of a naked man and said he was the prophet.
