Judaism doesn't believe in hell.
In Judaism, those who are irredeemable are simply destroyed. God annihilates their souls, causing them to cease to exist.
And yes, Bibi's soul will be going the way of the umtimate bye-bye immediately after his eventual expiration.

I grew up in metro DC so something like this seems like something out of a movie. A place like that doesn't exist anywhere north of Manassas.

Back when I moved to Japan, I had to fly economy because my new job paid for my travel expenses. They bought my ticket.
I'm 6'8".
It was a 13 hour flight.
In a seat where I could literally not sit down without my knees pushing into the back of the chair in front of me.
I haven't flown since.

Proof of concept.
So...how long will it take to make it industrial?

The DART mission managed to alter the orbit of an asteroid by about .2 of a degree.
How many DARTs would it take to alter a comet's orbit the large number of degrees needed to hit Mars?
And mind, comets move MUCH FASTER due to their extreme orbit shapes.

ok.
So.
How exactly are we going to get comets to smack into Mars?
Explain.
Be thorough.
comment in response to

Let's put this very simply: a Mars colony with our current technology is effectively impossible in this century.
The colony would have to be buried deep underground to protect from solar radiation, and we can't get the equipment needed to do that there quickly.

If your entire business model relies on theft, it is not a business model.
It is a criminal enterprise.

Rick Astley, of ye olde Rick Roll fame, walked away from music juat as he got super hot, took his royalties, and dedicated his life to his family. He wanted to be a dad, not a ghost to his kid chasing dollars on tour.
Mad respect for a man who knows what truly matters in life.

I honestly don't understand what happened to my generation. We weren't raised to believe things like this. I was raised to work hard, chase your dreams, and be a good person.
But most of the men of my generation are just...mean. MEAN. I'm not even friends with most others my age because of it.

That's because, as a Catholic, I have no skin in this game and can call balls and strikes objectively as an outside observer.
Unless you insult Papa Leo. Then it's on so you better throw hands because I'll unleash the wrath of a thousand angry Brazilians on you.

I can object to what was done while also understanding the hypocrisy of people, like you, who are acting like this was an irredeemable act of utter evil and not something Israel had done themselves.
Because innocence is a point of view. A statement to which you yourself previously agreed.
comment in response to

Fair? No.
Cruel? Yes.
Justified? Debatable, but IMO no. Diplomats should be hands off, but my opinion is not the deciding factor here.
Outrageous?
No, because Israel does this themselves.
Something something rulebook something something.

In the bluntest terms, two agents of the Israeli government were killed during war time in what appears to be a clandestine assassination by operatives of the government with whom their government is at war.
In other words: valid military targets as defined by Israel's own rules of war.
comment in response to

Yeah, deleteed that post because I felt it was a bit too callous.
Now I regret doing so.
Humanity, and compassion, do not stop at borders.
And FYI, Mossad has a LOOOOONG history of foreign extra-judicial assassinations.
You don't get to cry when your opponent starts playing by your rulebook.

Because yeah if Putin had nukes, HE WOULD HAVE USED THEM.
comment in response to
post
Russia doesn't have enough working nukes to carry out that threat, which is why all they do is threaten.
It takes a LOT of money to maintain nukes, and that money was stolen by corrupt military officers long ago.
All they have area few tacticals and they hide that fact by never using them

And do please note that this has nothing to do with Judaism. Netanyahu is as much a representative of his faith as Hitler was a representative of Christianity (which he professed to follow).
Evil men use religion as both sword and shield to carry out their evil.
comment in response to

Now ask yourself: if a man is willing to nuke territory within the fallout radius of his own lands, poisoning his own citizens, is it a stretch to believe that he's so indifferent about human life that he'd nuke another country?
comment in response to
post
Incorrect. Israel has threatened both Egypt AND Gaza with nukes.

Netanyahu threatened to nuke Egypt if they intervened.
And Egypt knows that Netanyahu is depraved enough to do it.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac who believes that his religion gives him the right to be a monster, even when his religion's teachings tells him he's wrong.

I lived in that general region before moving to Japan (living there is WHY I moved to Japan), and I can say with some knowledge of the area that Massie will never be voted out.
The Massie family more or less owns eastern Kentucky.
And the entire family is corrupt AF.

To the contrary, making people look it up themselves is an exercise in undeniability.
I once presented a link to an article backing up my position. The response? "CHERRY PICKED!!!!"
So, now, I tell people to look it up themselves. When they do it, they can't deny the results.
comment in response to

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
In a Tesla, that IS one of the things the BMS does.
Go look it up. Google it right now.
And THAT is the problem with them. The BMS software in Tesla is bad. VERY bad. And bad software should not control a potential time bomb.

Mid gives you BH bonuses, and it's impossible to sweep a team out to stop them from getting them. So you have no real viable means to get back into a game.
Once you fall behind, that's it. You're screwed. It's like why bother even playing at that point.
Critical design flaw. That needs fixing.

A BMS system so buggy that it can't handle simple tasks like range calculations is not a system I want managing a giant lithium ion battery that can explode or otherwise ignite into a fire that virtually can't be extinguished.
comment in response to
post
Tesla's BMS is very slapdash compared to other EVs, and the vast majority of the problems it has are software related.
Thus why I said the problem isn't the batteries or the hardware. Most EV makers use hardware from the same makers. It's entirely the software Tesla uses to govern the BMS system

And before you lambast me for my statement, the only evidence I need to prove my case is the Cybertruck.
An $80,000 "future vehicle" literally assembled with glue and plastic tabs and has already been recalled to the dealer three times for DEADLY flaws and defects requiring immediate repair.
comment in response to
post
Teslas don't have the battery protection systems that other EV producers do.
It's not a battery issue.
It's not a hardware issue.
It's not an engineering issue.
It's "Tesla is too greedy to care if their cars spontaneously combust so long as do it after they've already been bought" issue.
comment in response to

Uh, you do realize that the mansion that burned down was not a museum for slavery, but was instead a tourist attraction and venue that celebrated the antebellum period?
CELEBRATED. As in "hey look y'all at how good slavery was for our white ancestors, we built MANSIONS on black slave labor!"
comment in response to
post
Yes, but Teslas are already documented to spontaneously combust both while charging and also while...just sitting there, turned off.
Gas cars don't spontaneously combust while sitting there, turned off.
I'm 99% certain that if this wasn't arson, then it was an EV (Tesla) spontaneously combusting.

Oh noes, a symbol and icon of slavery burned down.
Such a tragedy.

I think you found the mysterious father of our cat Anubis. He's half gray tabby half Siamese, and the grandmother who gave him to us can't figure out where the father came from. There are no Siamese cats in her village.

Hell, I'm the natural born citizen of an immigrant who worked her ass off to get into the country, and I'm so gone from there I even gave up my US citizenship.
My mom? Back in Sao Paulo where she began. And happy she left.
She says the US isn't the country she once worked so hard to be part of.
comment in response to

As someone who left the US, and also renounced my citizenship to boot, let me say this:
You have no moral obligation to any country, leader, or ideology. The only obligation you have is to doing what is best for you and your family.
I left.
My parents left.
My brother left.
And we're all happy.

So we're at the "unbreak what he broke" step, with the next step being declaring victory.
But, I don't think it's going to work well this time. I think China is going to ruin the game for him.

Funnily enough, Dominion was the first anime my wife ever made me watch. It was one of her favorites from her childhood.
I found it kinda meh, but Anapuma and Unipuma were the probably the best thing about it.

I've seen this quote many times, but it sums up the GOP nicely.
"Conservative ideology depend on one thing: There are ingroups whom the law protects but does not bind, and outgroups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Or something similar to it.

That's why it broke so hard, so fast. Like a Jenga game, if you pull the wrong piece the whole thing falls down.
Well, DOGE pulled the wrong piece, the technicians that kept that old, outdated equipment running.
Newark won't be the only airport to suffer these kinds of problems. Just the first.
comment in response to
post
Actually, they came in and broke a system that's been teetering for decades.
My bro's a pilot, so I've heard all kinds of horror stories.
The equipment is outdated and their methodology relies on that old equipment.
It could have been smoothly upgraded without issues, THAT is what DOGE destroyed.
