The classic 4chan cars for under 5K chart still largely holds up today.

Take it with a grain of salt and perhaps bump the years up by a decade or so.

Personally i would take a 20 year old car with low milage that still has solid saftey features and a comfortable interior vs a newer car with better technology, but arguably worse saftey features and undoubtedly worse privacy.

Not to mention it’s going to be cheaper to break some shit on an old car vs a brand new one that’s loaded with sensors and computers. My 2 cents anyways.

" Siding with Yemen " is a bit rich. The writing is on the wall for the current regional war to expand into a proper world war. They don’t want their infrastructure, be it shipping or oil related to be hit by missles.

It’s one thing to carry out an air campaign halfway across the earth where your enemy cannot reach your homeland. It’s a bit different when the war is in your backyard and not on the television.

Same reason why Saudi Arabia is so squeamish about this whole air raid campaign. Both nations host American bases and troops. They are the logical first targets for the Houthi’s to attack. Signing off on this would be stepping foot into the ring as a meatshield, with little to gain from this charade.

Yemen has already been bombed back into the stone ages, infrastructure wise. More airstrikes will not break them.

Yes. Similar issiues exist wherever there is long border fences/ walls.

There has been more pressure to build raised animal crossings over highways and roadsways in the last couple decades but the roadkill is truly brutal. We definitely need more of them, at that though just reducing the amount of vehicles on the road would be great too.

Auto and oil industry have too much political influence as it stands. We have to reduce their significance to make progress.

There is no way an evacuation is happening. They will use all these weapons on an area in which civilians cannot escape.

There is no total military control after the 7th. Rockets are still being fired. This is the definition of out of control.

Urban fighting is pure nightmare fuel for all parties.

It’d probably be safer for the civilians, to open up refugee camps outside of the contested area, allow inspected movement,

That was never really on the table in Palestine. And especially less so now that there’s 1200 dead Isreali’s. They are not crossing into any lands held by the IDF without becoming prisoners.

The Egyptians have also refused to keep the border crossing open so fleeing to Egypt isn’t an option either.

The pogroms have already started in response. There’s nothing or noone that can stop this fight now. Sometimes the gears of history turn and crush those beneath it. And this time we’re helping crush people beneath those gears. Its all fucked.

Even if the Isreali’s completely level Gaza they will then have to fight a Stalingrad-esque campaign of fighting militants and remaining commandos in the remains of the city. Not to mention whatever tunnels survived the raids.

No matter how you cut it, thousands will die on their side if they push. They don’t really seem to have a choice to back down now, but even if somehow they keep their casualties limited in Gaza, now the entire northern front has opened up with Hezb and other milita entering the frey. Its really a trap you can’t win.

If you read the wiki it details that police and soldiers took part in the abuse alike. Of course this doesn’t happen with every U.N. deployment, but the bad blood and amnesty towards peacekeepers will not be easily forgotten by the locals.

The courts are probably saving everyone some trouble here.

They had warnings an attack was coming. They probably thought it would be pretty insignificant though rather then a proper offensive.

Theres some other good discussion of this already in this thread, to reiterate what others have said, its not unthinkable to belive that the government may have ignored those who warned of this, assuming they could politicize a minor attack, only to be caught completely off gaurd when a complex, multi pronged offensive appeared.

There’s a big difference between 9/11 and the WTC parking lot bombings. When warned of terror attacks in early 2000’s, America was probably thinking of the former rather then latter.

Netanyahu said:" Those Who Attacked Israel Will Remember Israel’s Military Response For ‘Generations’ "

We are going to see some horrific war crimes in the weeks to come. And all of our countries are backing them up. Whole thing is fucked.

The mental gymnastics conservatives are going to do when Florida is finally submerged will be powerful enough to power all remaining homesteads in the United States.

Depends on how you see it. Last time U.N. peacekeepers were in Haiti it was a complete disaster. They were caught running child sex trafficking rings.

It was in fact, so prolific there is an entire wiki dedicated to it.

On the other hand, without some sort of outside intervention or help the status quo in Haiti will remain. I don’t really think any of it is " good " so to speak but I struggle to imagine another U.N. mission will bring about fruitful results for anyone involved.

He’s also called for more blanket surveillance of Russian passport holders in the West.

Becareful praising a strongman when he speaks against your enemies brashfully. Today he is your friend, tommorow you might find yourself amongst his list of enemies.

No drones won’t be the frontline. You cannot use drones to physically hold an area, and they can be rendered useless in inclement weather or by signal jammers.

Not to mention, if you need to actually clear houses out like the U.S. did in Fallujah, you would needs tens of thousands of men. No amount of drones would suffice to replace them for this task.

And yes. People have been saying the tank is obsolete in almost every conflict it has fought in. Including the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The drone has not made anything obsolete, but it has changed how effectively you can use soldiers and equipment.

Fucking hell Canada, so many old Nazi pricks here you’d think this shit was a Swiss bank.

I don’t even understand how the hell burger King is alive to this day. There’s 2 burger kings in my city, both on the same road and I’ve never seen anyone in line at either of them.

Like are we even sure burger King isint some psy op or something? Does anyone even remember the last time they were in one?

Thanks. Feels good to be here. I know some people have mixed experiences but it really is neat seeing the fediverse come to life.

Being able to browse other federated sites from one app is cool as fuck too.

Its my first day here. I’m having a good time. Thanks for asking.
