TL;DR: Small study of only 3 out of 100 brands on the market, so limited inference can be drawn but cheap construction leaches toxic substances into the liquid in ways that older non-disposable vapes don’t. In terms of health risk non-disposable vapes are best followed by a tie between traditional cigarettes and disposable vapes.
In a normal military this would be a pretty big deal, but Russia has long used the strategy of “keep throwing bodies at them until you win”. That’s also likely the reason their navy and air force are a joke as that strategy doesn’t work so well when you have a finite number of craft to send those bodies on. There’s a reason that Ukraine’s tiny well trained military has been able to use guerrilla tactics to wipe the floor with Russia’s military.
So unfortunately this is likely to make little if any difference, Putin will just find a new piece of meat to stuff into that uniform and then kick him towards the front line. What does make a huge difference though is every time they manage to destroy a piece of Russian hardware (be that a boat, plane, tank, or artillery) as Russia has a very hard time replacing those unlike their practically unlimited supply of cannon fodder.
Yes, very much so. Each party has their candidate. Some states might let multiple members of the same party run, and there have certainly been instances where people have run unopposed for certain offices, but generally most elected positions in the US are partisan.
It has been a key Republican strategy for several decades now to control as many states governorship as they can manage because it allows them to do things like gerrymandering and to pass state policies that favor Republicans.
The DNC needs to just finish the slow metamorphosis they’ve been going through for decades and finally merge with the RNC so we can get a new actual opposition party. It’s looking likely that that new party would end up being the democratic socialist party.
Already? I knew it wouldn’t go anywhere but man that’s the shortest attempt yet. I didn’t think it was possible for them to disappoint me with my basement level expectations but they certainly have managed to do so.
Could have ended that sentence 4 words sooner and been just as accurate.
If only that would do something. It’s good he’s at least going through the motions, but I’m doubtful this will do anything more than generate headlines. Then again maybe a miracle will occur and Trump will have pissed off enough Republicans to make this actually stick.
… bot screwing up its post and responding to the wrong place? No idea, doesn’t seem to be responding to either the article or any comment in here. There is a slim chance it’s some weird artifact of the federation process.
That URL and the actual article contents are wildly different. To be clear to anyone who hasn’t followed the link and just read the URL, Iran has not confirmed the ceasefire.
We’ve seen the way Israel does ceasefires and it looks an awful lot like Russian ceasefires. This is just Israel taking a timeout to restock ammunition and hoping for a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Also it’s Trump saying it so who knows what if anything was actually agreed on. The only thing you can reliably count on Trump for is lies and grifting.
The only way I could see Israel going for an actual ceasefire is if Iran has nukes or one of their backers makes a believable threat to drop a nuke on their behalf. Or maybe Israel did the math on what it would mean if their psycho buddy Trump actually dropped that nuke he’s been salivating about on Iran and don’t want to deal with nuclear fallout and the very real possibility that someone would nuke them as a freebie while chucking nukes at the US.
The fundamental flaw with the phone system is it’s all or nothing. It’s difficult to get in, but once you’re in there’s zero controls (DNS used to and somewhat still does also suffer from this).
