For hiking and camping gear: Savotta

If you’re not from Finland you’ve probably never heard of them but I’m yet to buy one product from them I’m not satisfied with. They make gear for the Finnish defence forces aswell.

Shoutout to Knipex aswell, especially the Cobra pliers. Costs an arm and a leg but you probably don’t ever need to buy another pair.

I don’t hear anyone making that claim. If 40 years ago say 30% of your population could barely afford food and today it’s only 5% it still very much sucks for that 5% but it’s still objectively better for there to be less super poor people than before.

That’s not why the light is red lol

Red light doesn’t mess up your night vision. With a red light you can turn it off and still see as long as there’s some ambient light such as moonlight. With white light you need to wait for 10 to 15 minutes for your eyes to get accustomed to the darkness.

I’m simply asking what the preferred alterative would’ve been but nobody seems to be interested in answering. At no point have I said that what they’re currently doing is optimal as it quite clearly isn’t.

I wish. Currently it seems like were going to the exact opposite direction and special focus is being put on people’s race and sexuality. This headline is a great example; highlighting his sexuality and young age. I bet he’d rather be recognized for something else.

Israel could do what Hamas would do if they had the capability and that is indiscriminately murder every single person on the other side of the border. Israel never had to enter Gaza in the first place. They could have just bombed down every single building there and flatten the whole territory and snipe every survivor with drones and not lose a single Israeli fighter. They didn’t.

What is this hospital bombing everyone is talking about? Every single article I’m finding is about the Al-Alhi incident.

You’re speaking of the incident when a rocket hit Al-Alhi hospital’s parking lot? That is not example of Israel bombing a hospital. It’s quite universally agreed it was a rogue hamas rocket.

I’m only finding articles for the Al-Ahli incident so that’s why I’m asking. I’m not aware of Israel bombing any hospitals but I’m sure you can educate me.

Have they bombed a hospital?

How do you “go down there” exactly? You just walk in and ask where the entrance is? Your solution is quite vague.

This in no shape or form answers my question and is exactly what’s frustrating about the situation. I only hear critizism but never solutions.

What is Israel supposed to do? I’m genuinely asking. I’m not implying what they have done is what should’ve happened but I’m genuinely puzzled what the imagined alternative would have been. You don’t react to Hamas’s attack by packing up your shit and leaving. You don’t respond to it by asking what your enemy would like you to do differently so that this doesn’t happen again. You retaliate. It’s blatantly obvious that’s what you do especially since they have a superior military. How do you retaliate? That is the question I’d like answered. What is a reasonable and justifiable retaliation to their act?

If you catch a kid throwing rocks at windows you don’t shoot them or punch them in the face but you don’t pat them on the head either and give them candy. There are better and worse ways to deal with it here.

Most collisions with pedestrians usually happen in cities where there are no cars driving at 110kph. For 99% of cases this can be avoided by paying attention to your surroundings. This applies to both drivers and pedestrians. I “save” the life of several people a year by not driving over them when they just blindly step on the road apparently assuming what ever moves there is going to always see them and stop. For the vast majority of time this is the case but then there’s an exception an now you’re dead.

In general people crossing the road can be divided into three groups. Group A looks both ways before crossing so that they don’t get hit by a car. Group B looks after they’ve already stepped on the road to see what kind of car they’re getting hit by and group C doesn’t even care and just stares forward.

I wish I could do that. Currently I’m trying to start a bussines, but my mind just keeps coming up with the most unlikely terrible scenarios that might happen and convincing me to never try anything new so that I can’t fuck it up.

Isn’t this the same hospital Israel allegedly leveled a few months back?

Edit: Nope, it was Al-Ahli Arab hospital.

One does not really need US intelligence’s confirmation to undestand that the use of human shields is standard operating procedure for islamistic terrorists. It’s not that they don’t care about their own citizens but they simply don’t see getting martyred as a bad thing. Quite the opposite.

I’ll let you, OP borrow my brain anyday if you’d like to experience what it’s like to live always expecting things to go wrong.

Agreed. Interestingly the English canal tunnel would be among the last human made structures left after everything else is gone. That and the faces on Mount Rushmore. Old steel bridges would last for pretty long too as they are extremely overbuilt. Back then they really didn’t have ways to calculate how strong they need to be so they just made everything way beefier than necessary.

Thanks!

In my case its that I just get stuck into repetative negative thought loops. My default assumption always seems to be that the worst case scenario is going to happen even though it never happens. I’m just really good at convincing myself that nothing is worth trying as I’m probably going to fail anyways.
