Are you saying Israel has ambition to invade and conquer the entire region?

The UK sells Israel weapons. The US sells Israel weapons. Unlike other countries, Israel pays more reliably. A good salesman looks after their best customers.

Also, it seems that since Israel suffered no significant damage from the attack, they're not going to retaliate now. So the support worked, because otherwise there probably would have been more than minimal damge to Israel, they would have responded and we'd have open war between Israel and Iran.

The fuck do my people have to do?

Have allies before you get invaded, or have nukes.

Aren't we supposed to help defend our allies, and vice versa?

Cables can be fixed by anyone, China don't make the cables.

Meanwhile they're one of the prominent suppliers for BESS batteries which are being installed all over the country.

Yup that's what I gathered from this. Literally had the "duh" realisation as I was writing that comment.

Eclipses still happen once per day, when they happen, it's just also seasonal with no eclipses in the summer and winter.

This is the claim from the Guardian article about this:

Puberty blockers and hormone treatment had been given to young patients despite a lack of research into their impact

Frankly I find that hard to swallow, given that puberty blockers existed long before they were used to treat trans people. Puberty blockers were used to treat children with extremely early puberty, their effects are generally well known. Sure, there's always the classic "more study is needed" line in academia, but this almost presents it as careless implementation of a new drug, rather than a known and approved drug given to more people.

I checked it with whoBIRD (FOSS app that identifies bird calls), I disabled location and date and played the sound from my PC. Pretty confident it's a Eurasian blue tit.

Why are you trying to turn this into personal attacks all of a sudden??

The factory makes drones for Israel, Israel used a drone in this strike, but that doesn't necessarily mean this factory made this drone.

There may be times when the sun is eclipsed by the earth, but this will be infrequent.

This will happen once per day lol. For a geostationary orbit anyway, as the orbital period is 24 hours.

The point, as you mentioned before, is that the nighttime/eclipse part of this period will be very short and the day very long. Our night lasts hours, a geostationary satellite's night is minutes (maybe a little over 1 hour for the longest ones).

This website calculates eclipse periods for satellites: https://www.satellite-calculations.com/Satellite/satellite_eclipse.htm Apparently it's a seasonal thing, like 3 months you get daily eclipses, 3 months you get no eclipse, then another 3 months on and another 3 off. The 3 months with eclipses are the around the equinoxes, so Feb-Apr and Aug-Oct.

It's actually embarrassing how cheap it is to buy a politician these days

From what I've seen they primarily launder bribes as donations through the party. You speak with a senior MP, one who is on the party payroll and takes a salary from the party, you make a donation to the party, the party writes favourable legislation, the MP gets a ~~cut of~~ "bonus" from the ~~bribe~~ donation.
