Gotcha. Yeah the vendor can put it in the terms to have customer pay the shipping, but that really pisses off customers enough to leave bad reviews, so any decent vendor won't do that. I've tried that before for just a few days and got bad store feedback and negative product review too.
reputable brands not even listing their products on Amazon anymore
Amazon's return policy is not good for vendors, so brands should definitely avoid it if possible. 30 days return for 100% refund for any reason at all, plus vendor pays return shipping.
Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical strategist, says Ukrainians need to kill 10 Russians for every Ukrainian. And that the only realistic way of doing that is causing famine in the Donbass and Crimea. That's the harsh reality.
I remember seeing a documentary about starving children and famine in Yemen. Have things changed?
Answering that question is a whole rabbit hole I will not go down. Just wanted to point out that comparing Hamas with any other terrorist organization is imo not really possible.
Sure. With that logic, you can win every argument. Done talking to you now, thanks
Point taken. However Hamas isn't just a terrorist organization, they are the elected political party of Gaza. They are the government. So not really apples to apples.
Gotcha. Asking questions is the new wild accusation these days. It's a good way to avoid critical thought.
It's interesting how just asking critical questions of Hamas entails that I support Israel's response.
I'll agree israel is worse in hindsight, but Hamas kicked this off with this sneak attack that has led to this situation, so I'd say that is worse. Hamas was so successful in causing an Israeli intelligence disaster, which I feel like caused their military to lash out. All militaries do is destroy, they are not nation builders. Surgical special force operations can take a long time to plan and wouldn't work since there were so many hostages and they kept moving them around.
Before I answer your questions, you answer mine. Which is less acceptable?
Speaking from experience since I looked into it, there's scammers peddling solar panels and overall, from a financial point of view, they are just a bad deal - Too much cost, with little upside with extra risk. In addition it certainly does not increase home values at all.
However, in southern California and deserts, it would make sense to get solar since the sun shines more.
Also wind turbine industry needs to start making recyclable blades cuz used blades take up a lot of space in landfills.
Then why is it over $35k to get them installed on a house's roof? And still I'd need to be plugged into the grid.
That's great for them, I hope it was worth it in the end. And that would work great in a desert and southern California, but it won't work to well in most of the USA due to weather.
So, which is less acceptable:
Hamas, a military threat to Israel who hides behind children.
Or
Israel, a country with a military who is responding to military threats in a way a military would.
BTW, my original post is asking questions, but you Lemmy Users just keep making it seem I'm pro Israel just for asking.
It's not that simple to electrify with renewable. We'd need to mine wayyyy more copper for wiring. We'd need to produce wayyy more rubber for insulated coatings of all those wires. We'd need wayyy more transformers. And if every garage in America has a car charging in it, then we'll need wayyy more batteries and We'd have a lot more load on our electric infrastructure. In the end, we'd still need fossil fuel infrastructure to account for when the sun's not shining and wind isn't blowing.
IMO, that government has already been stomped, but it's propped up somehow. Venezuela has lost about 10% of its population over last few years and it's currency is inflated badly. It just doesn't make sense how that man is still in power.
What? I was asking questions and they are not rhetorical.
Thanks for clarifying for me. Didn't realize it was such a simple scenario like a bank robbery.
