Err… you are asking that even if I literally said it is world news and only complained about how little relevance (global newsworthiness) the fact has?
Anyways, it seems I must have mistaken the purpose of this community… I have no interest in a twitter-like feed or random low-quality news from all over the world so I’m leaving. Sorry if I’ve been a bother.
@mods, this community needs a rule establishing some minimum relevancy threshold. News like the one in this post may technically be “world news” but they would hardly be worth a mention in any non-local newspaper
TBH it’s not like Palestinian’s resistance equipment and capabilities have seemed much of a concern for Israel even when they were at 100%…
As it’s often the case with statements published during wartime (and also ones in more peaceful times), it’s more interesting to look at where the statement comes from and ask oneself why they say so now than the actual contents of the statement (which are often unverifiable anyways).
Yeah, he’s old and didn’t use the happiest words… but the Vatican clarified he didn’t mean “unconditional surrender” and instead only meant “negotiate a peace deal”.
AFAIU (and also AFAIC - “as far as I care”) It’s not entirely clear yet if the Pope suggests that Ukraine should give up territory in exchange for peace (and what about reparations?) or if he just means “be good people and make peace” (which would be much more in line with how he usually talks). I don’t think whatever the Pope thinks will really be of much consequence given how geopolitically relevant this war is (“The Pope? How many divisions has he got?”)
This whole news/argument serves as great marketing for the TV program where the the interview will be broadcasted (which I’d assume is not unintentional)
For the non-US people: 21,000 acres are around 84km² (a bit more than a 9 by 9km square).
I have zero idea how big the reef was to begin with (and God must have forbidden journalists from publishing data that would allow readers to make sense of the numbers they put in the headlines), but still it seems like decent amount was destroyed.

For a minute there, the title fooled me into thinking the actual vessels were bypassing panama via rail…
TBH it’s not just reddit or social media: Internet’s per-view ad revenue is exactly what ruined traditional newspapers (ok, some where shit to begin with)
Whataboutism is the name of the game
State troopers who found the father-of-two’s body in his truck said there were no barriers or warning signs near the bridge.

The lawsuit adds that Google had previously been notified about the collapse and several attempts had been made for the route information to be updated.
People should get their priorities right
Yeah… people should rewrite post titles for the context of this community, rather than reusing article titles verbatim
No idea as I’m not connected via comcast (I’m not even in the US).
Can you ping 9.9.9.9? Also, comparing traces (tracepath / traceroute) betwen 9.9.9.9 and some other host might give you insight on where the problem is
In case you wonder, this story is from Finland
Guys, please rewrite post titles for the context of this community (eg. indicating what nation we are talking about) rather than reporting the news article verbatim.
Absolutely! /s
TBH, the mods should change the sidebar from “News from around the world!” to something like “News that have international relevance”… otherwise we can’t really scold people who post curiosity stories.
your pro-consumer laws
Don’t those actually come from the EU?
The US have not signed the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, while Canada and most (all?) other western states have (Russia has not, BTW).
The peculiar stance of the US on this matter should not surprise since there are lots of international treaties that the US have not signed or ratified, including some that one might expect any “decent” nation to uphold [my opinion, of course], such as bans on anti-personnel mines and torture, the Kyoto protocol and many, many others treaties.
Notably, the US are the only nation that has yet to ratify the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child… 'nough said.
What is that you care to preserve? Can’t you just register a new account and kill the old one? (genuinely curious)
