They want to unban gyphosphate so that CERTAIN countries dropping it on their neighbouring country’s fields doesn’t count as committing a warcrime.

And since all of those are videos without me realising

Fill yer boots mate!

Top three that I use on a regular basis

Bowline (quick knot that’s strong, a common error is that when you try to pull it tight it falls apart, dont panic, you just went the wrong way through the loop you make in step 1)

Sheet bend (a bowline that’s gone horribly wrong somewhere (you’ll get that joke after a bit of practice)lmao but theknot can attach two completely different ropes together)

Figure 8 loop (like a bowline but no matter how much weight you put in the loop it’s still easy to undo)

Reef knot - the most common way to tie two ends together

Monkeys fist (impractical unless you’re throwing ropes into trees, but real fun to make out of old climbing rope if you’ve got pets.

If you want to save your hands and your floor from being shredded and filled with tiny shards of nylon fiber, pick up some of the stuff that has a core and a woven cover from a local hardware store or talk to an outdoor shop to see if theyve got any unusable lengths.

I picked up some Dyneema offcuts dirt cheap from a local sailing chandler’s on ebay (Dyneema’s the brand name for an often overpriced rope made from UHMWPE - “Ultra high molecular weight poly ethylene”, same material as plastic bags but DENSE and as a result hilariously strong- my 3mm thick rope can pull 1 ton before breaking, shit’s WILD)

In related positive news, Iran just hit one of the facilities used to produce white phosphorus

“The 1948 Palestine war[b] (30 November 1947 – 10 March 1949) was fought in the territory of what had been, at the start of the war, British-ruled Mandatory Palestine.[16] It began as a civil war between the Arab and Jewish communities following the United Nations Partition Plan and became an international conflict with the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel,[c] the termination of the British mandate, and the entry of the armies of neighbouring Arab states into Palestine. During the war, Zionist forces[d] conquered about 78% of the former territory of the mandate causing the expulsion and flight of over 700,000 Palestinians.”

No, that one’s on the british for deciding to divvy up land that wasn’t theirs.

“Although the Jewish Agency accepted the partition plan, it did not accept the proposed borders as final and Israel’s declaration of independence avoided the mention of any boundaries. A state in part of Palestine was seen as a stage towards a larger state when opportunity allowed. Although the borders were ‘bad from a military and political point of view,’ Ben Gurion urged fellow Jews to accept the UN Partition Plan, pointing out that arrangements are never final, ‘not with regard to the regime, not with regard to borders, and not with regard to international agreements’. The idea of partition being a temporary expedient dated back to the Peel Partition proposal of 1937. When the Zionist Congress had rejected partition on the grounds that the Jews had an inalienable right to settle anywhere in Palestine, Ben Gurion had argued in favour of acceptance, 'I see in the realisation of this plan practically the decisive stage in the beginning of full redemption and the most wonderful lever for the gradual conquest of all of Palestine.”

I take issue with the MEANS by which the state of israel invaded, and the fact the state agreed with the original plan with the undeniable intent to further invade.

And with Israel’s continued actions after the UN agreed to give israel more than half of Palestinian land

“Funny” you should bring up 1948 specifically.

What specific event happened in that year?

Ah, yes. “Israel declared independence” … right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

The original creator of the 40 beheaded babies propaganda lie also tried to hang himself after being caught raping kids

I think they’re obligate carnivores, at least I don’t know of any (There are a lot of things I don’t know, though.)

How else do you think their species survived almost as long as sharks?

Spent the past decade too poor to pursue romantic interests, led to me ruining two potential relationships by being so stressed about not being able to provide even enough for myself, let alone supporting or going out on dates with another person.
