Upvoting because I’ve never seen a Hilary Hahn meme in my life! Bravo!

The kerning on Latex integrals has always bothered me. The f(x) could move a LOT further to the left!

I think it’s every responsible driver’s duty not to buy a Tesla!

Only about 27% of Israeli Jews have recent European parentage (as of 2015) and that dropped from 30% in 2008 (and dropped by about 14,000 people in absolute terms). I think if anything this shows that European Jews are either leaving Israel or otherwise not reproducing nearly as quickly as long-ancestry Israeli Jews (which grew from 37% to 44% in the same time span, an increase of 700,000 people).

Furthermore, in terms of political support in Israel, the left-right split falls down largely ethnic lines:

The bases of the right-wing parties are non-dominant and low-socioeconomic-status Jews, Mizrahim, Russian immigrants, the National Religious, the ultra-Orthodox, and offspring of the Revisionists, who are more nationalistic and less liberal than the economically better off and Ashkenazi supporters of the Center-Left

So it’s pretty much exactly the opposite of your claim. The people supporting far right governments and the expansion of settlements in Israel are ethnically middle eastern Israelis or Russian-descended Jews, not European Jews or their descendants, many of whom are leaving the country or protesting against the government from within Israel.

The issue is that her arms would have to be cut off at the shoulder to fit into the arms of the suit. This fan-made diagram shows what I mean:

She’s tall but she’s way too narrow to actually fit the shoulders on the suit. It’s one of those weird game oversights, like how many game building interiors are too large for the exterior to contain.

Israel has true PR and look what they’ve done with that: a coalition of small, far-right parties and one moderately large one.

I think I could support STV but not party-list PR. Frankly, I hate political parties for the way they force my elected representative to “toe the party line” against the interests for which I elected them in the first place! STV is okay because it does not give parties any more power than they have under FPTP.

Ideally I’d like to see political parties abolished. The founding fathers of the US feared the damage parties would cause to the system they were building. They turned out to be right!

It’s Eternal September for Lemmy these days. I’m part of that wave too. I noticed a lot of my takes get downvoted to oblivion!

What do you mean “never supposed to”? The world wasn’t designed.

Anyway, meat can still be cheap without the intensive factory farming practices in the US. Chickens are very cheap to raise on pasture and produce much tastier meat as well! They can be watered with well water and supplemented with minimal grain feed.

No, you don’t want it to grow too much. If it goes into seed the bunnies won’t like it as much. Keeping the lawn short and tender will keep the bunnies happier. Plus it allows clover and other species to compete without getting shaded by tall grass.

My backyard lawn is like this (short with a ton of different species) and I see bunnies there all the time. One of them is actually quite comfortable around me, quietly chewing away as I work in the garden (which they don’t interfere with)!
