Israel’s War on Healthcare (www.stephensemler.com)

Israel appears to have adopted its Gaza playbook in Lebanon. Its bombing of Lebanon has matched the frequency of its historically destructive airstrikes in Gaza. Last Monday (Sep 23), Israel dramatically escalated its war in Lebanon, claiming to have hit more than 1,600 targets that day alone. By Wednesday, nearly 600 civilians were killed by Israeli bombardment, including 50 children and 94 women. By Friday, Israel had killed more than 700 civilians, injured several thousand, and displaced 120,000. Like in Gaza, the daily death toll in Lebanon is higher than in any recent war.

Israel killed at least 50 healthcare workers in Lebanon in the last two weeks alone. Yesterday, Israel bombed a medical center in central Beirut, killing at least nine. Since September 23, Israel has attacked healthcare workers and infrastructure in Lebanon 14 times, according to my analysis of World Health Organization data. Since October 7, there have been over 30 attacks such attacks (I discuss one of them here). Hospitals are closing down across southern Lebanon, including in Marjayoun, Mais al-Jabal, and Bint Jbeil. Healthcare is virtually non-existent south of the Litani River.

With diffusion being a foundational aspect of solutes mixing in solutions, the water should have an even distribution of the contaminants. However, the tidal force of water associated with a storm surge probably throws a wrench in the plan here. But generally, it's evenly spread throughout and will be found in relatively even amounts everywhere the water settles.

Ya, the house is in the persons name. But if they struggle to keep up with payments, it can become the banks home.

Same with homes, renting can provide lower monthly payments vs a mortgage. But with a mortgage you own the home and eventually you'll have no monthly payment, whereas renting means you'll always pay and the landlord has the final say in matters.

I don't know, it really all comes down to preference, but Gambit and Rouge are a pretty damn solid duo!

I mean, the research paper from the study doesn't reference dopamine at all. It focuses on electric pulses associated with visual interpretations of the environment. It does reference a reward system stating "arguably the main purpose of extracting the underlying structure of temporal sequences is to predict what is likely to happen next in order to choose appropriate actions and maximize reward." But it appears as if this is variable for each situation for each participant. Nonetheless, I like where your head's at, I just don't see it being associated with the analysis.

I love this wallet incorporates monero mining, it's a simple yet awesome approach!

Well, the focus of the Israeli attacks were initially in the greater Gaza Strip area, which is in Southern Gaza. So this wouldn't make much sense to have been posted 6 months back. But being posted now demonstrates the expansion of the Israeli attacks. Nonetheless, I get where you were coming from with it.

That's odd, it seems fine on my end. But here's another instance link: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU

So Ubuntu has a version called Lubuntu, which used to come with LXDE, but now it comes with LXQt. So this will require you to install LXDE with the tasksel command, unless you start with Ubuntu desktopless. But I'd say to definitely check out Kubuntu, it's the KDE version, and I feel like KDE and LXDE are quite similar. Both have an older windows overall appearance.

Looks like trolCommander, muCommander, and WinSCP all have FTP support on Windows.

[–] shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's a few of them, the open source options include Double Commander, Files, Explorer++, Spacedrive (links files from multiple devices into one explorer), and Sigma File Manager. QTTabBar is an extension for the windows file manager which provides tabbed browsing as well. Here's a list covering these and many others with links to official websites for each one: https://alternativeto.net/software/windows-explorer/?p=2

On top of that, in the 2010 massive Cholera outbreak, there's images of UN sewage trucks dumping waste into the local water ways. While it was responsible for an obscene initial death toll, the country still has this Cholera strain actively being spread, confirmed via genetic analysis. In a country with fragile water filtration infrastructure, a severe lack of vaccinations, and a heavy distrust in the local government, this was a perfect storm which the repercussions are still being felt to this day... Stay away from Haiti UN, you've already done enough!
