It's a chicken and egg situation.

It's frustrating because I don't know it, and I don't learn it because it's frustrating.

Generally deploying some kind of service.

It's things like this that prevent me from using Linux more.

I force myself to use it for projects where it's an option because I feel I need to learn it better but I kind of dread it every time.

Inevitably I'm stuck frustrated reading conflicting guides from years ago and wondering just how badly I'm going to fuck things up this time.

Sometimes it all feels so esoteric.

No, what Israel is doing makes sense from a strictly selfish point of view.

The question of 'Why doesn't Israel integrate the Palestinians?' is a good one. The answer is numbers.

Israel was founded as a Jewish ethnostate. Those who have immigrated there have done so because they wanted to live in a Jewish ethnostate. So one of the core values of the country is that it is primarily a place for Jews.

If Israel absorbed the populations of Gaza and the West Bank into Israel, the Jewish population would become a minority in Israel if not immediately then within a generation.

I don't agree with the idea of ethnostates in general and I do believe establishing Israel as one was a mistake.

... But if you imagine the viewpoint of someone who does want a Jewish ethnostate like so many in Israel you can see why this solution is a non starter.

The legislature can and will find ways to neuter the amendment.

They did it here in Florida when we voted to restore the rights of felons after their punishment was complete.

The legislature ruled that the felons had to pay back all outstanding fees before they could get their rights back. Felons get changed by the jail for their stay, so most leave with 100s of thousands in debt on the books.

Then the state purposely makes it impossible for felons to even find out how much they owe, meaning even if they were to somehow get the money paying is very difficult.

It has effectively prevented any felons from getting their voting rights back. I think the actual number who have is less than 10 and we passed that amendment in 2020.

I've gone to playing Project 1999, an OG EverQuest emulator server.

It's only up to velious and it's as close to how the game was back then as you can get.

I don't recommend it to people who never played EQ back in the day - games have changed far too much for this ancient game to be fun for most people who don't have nostalgia for that era of gaming.

But sounds like you might, so I thought I'd suggest it to you.

It's normal for young children to have a music class, usually this is primarily a 'fun' class and includes a lot of chorus singing.

This was one of the songs sung in the class when I was a kid.
