Devi, to news in The Nigerian teens clueless on computers but aiming to reboot

I used to teach ESOL students and this is quite common. Very accomplished students who had often come over for some quite skilled jobs, but hadn’t used a mouse before. It’s hard to remember how odd it is as a control system when you’ve used them from childhood.

Often they’d used phones or tablets though so they’d all be touching the screens.

Devi, to news in ‘Zombie deer disease’ epidemic spreads in Yellowstone as scientists raise fears it may jump to humans

It’s tricky. So I was listening to a BSE radio doc recently which had an episode about the deer. They actually don’t know if BSE was transmitted through eating the beef, in fact there’s cases of vegetarians getting it. It’s still being studied. They’re very worried about people eating infected deer, which is quite likely being as they’re easy to kill, but also having anything to do with them because they just don’t know how it moves from animal to animal, deers rarely eat each other so it’s not super likely that’s the only way.

The deer disease is the same family as BSE which does jump to humans, so it’s fairly likely.

Is gambling investing in a company?

Honestly, anyone playing such “get rich quick” investing games with crypto needs to be honest with themselves that maybe they’ve got a gambling problem.

Gambling is what it is. Putting your life savings in it is stupid, but if you put a bit in, it’s a better gamble than putting it on the horses.

Devi, to news in Israel-Gaza war live: Israeli hostages mistakenly killed by IDF in Gaza were holding makeshift white flag, official says

I mean, the answer is loads. There was a hospital where they had to move all patients away from the outer rooms because the Israeli army were using snipers to pick off staff who came to attend to them. Uniformed doctors who were engaged in treating their patients were shot with no warning.

I’m also old and have been following this conflict for decades but apparently more balanced sources.

Israel claimed that they were targeting Hamas at Al-Shifa but they positioned snipers who shot doctors and nurses through the windows. If you’re being forced to attack a hospital full of innocent civilians then you would be trying to avoid the innocent civilians, but that’s not what it’s about here.

Same as taking swathes of land since WW2, they are occupying massive areas that they were never given. They’re not ignorant, they know exactly what they’re doing.

You are being drawn in by Israeli propaganda. Look at more balanced news sources, or just a wider range. The ‘human shield’ myth is particularly awful as it’s being used to defend murdering innocent people.

This whole thing reeks of desperation, they’re grasping at straws to defend murdering babies, but there’s zero defence here.

Devi, to news in IDF evidence so far falls well short of al-Shifa hospital being Hamas HQ

What are you seeing here? There’s a small shaft that looks a long way from the hospital, maybe a well, maybe a sewer, nothing to suggest it’s anything untoward. There’s some people walking through some buildings, then a map with writing on.

Where are you seeing evidence here? Where are you seeing any of the things you’re claiming?

Look! there’s crackers! danger!!

I saw them taking a BBC journalist in and pointing out a “Hamas Stash”, it was like one gun, some shoes, and a pile of blankets. If that’s the stuff you think you’re fighting against then you’re ok, calm down, stop sniping medical staff.

That really got me too. How can you kill brand new babies and then be like “We’re in the right here”

Devi, to news in Israel military reportedly surrounding hospitals in Gaza and shooting at those trying to flee, UN says

I read an interview last week with some hospital staff. They had to avoid windows when treating patents as if seen the snipers would shoot them. Many staff were killed that way. Just a nightmare.

Devi, to news in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Palestinian civilians being killed en masse are simply “collateral damage”

They have bombed a neonatal unit! You can’t murder premature babies and be like “Whoopsy!”. Absolutely disgusting. As for ‘evacuating civilians’ they’ve blocked the borders. Workers who worked outside Gaza have been forcibly returned.

This is genocide.
