Very important report, but this case is baffling

Ismail al-Naqla, Mohammed’s brother and the father of Abdel Karim, told Amnesty International that their next-door neighbour received a call from the Israeli military at around 10:30am, warning that his building was about to be bombed. Ismail and Mohammed and their families left the building immediately, as did their neighbours. By 3:30pm, there had been no attack, so the al-Naqlas and others went home to collect necessities. Ismail explained that they had thought it would be safe to do so as five hours had elapsed since the warning, though they planned to leave again very quickly.

But as they were returning to their apartments, a bomb struck the building next door, destroying the al-Naqlas’ home and damaging others nearby. Mohammed and his family were still in the courtyard of their building when they were killed.

If you were warned that your home was a target why return with a bunch of children?

though they planned to leave again very quickly.

They knew it was still dangerous. If you need to get stuff from your home, your 3 and 5 year olds won't help with that. Leave them with Ismail and get capable adults to get in and out quickly. If your decision making in the face of risks is based on inshallah, if God wills it, then you can't complain if your God willed it.

This is all fucked up and their home should probably not have been a target in the first place. But they knew it was and brought their children there.

This is probably victim blaming but the decisions made in this case were very bad. Though of course it doesn't absolve the perpetrators.

I mostly enjoyed it but I never read the books so couldn't compare. Visually it's a treat. Apart from some things seeming a bit too "magic" I'd recommend it to sci fi fans.

Wishful thinking headlines? I guess it's an opinion piece and I agree that it should be one of the top issues. Still this headline is utter bullshit.

Newsweek is not a credible source

Talking out of my ass here but I guess the initial information from the eyes goes to many pathways and reaches both and more. It's just a question of which ones react.

Yeah, wouldn't recommend if you aren't a hardcore fan of the setting. Having to suffer through all of the typical Bethesda jank with these problems on top is pretty rough.

It's a 10 year old CPU with 4 cores. The game pauses for seconds every so often. About every 2 hours it crashes.

Been playing Starfield on an i5 Haswell CPU (it's a PITA). Currently re-downloading Cyberpunk to play 2.0

they probably have an understanding of physics we don't currently know about in the wider public.

I don't believe any secret agencies have a better understanding of fundamental physics. They have better technology and engineering.
