How do you wake up when it's dark at that 7:30? Do you have something that pulls them with sunrise?

For me waking up when it's very dark feels much worse than getting to sleep with a bit of light.


Good question, waking up in the dark is awful, so I bought myself a silent light alarm. Now I can wake up more or less at the same time no matter how late I go to bed, alarm or not.

i'm confused to how this is different to waking up to the sunrise that is also (almost) at the same time every day?

I don't know where you live but even at my latitude it most definitely is not "at almost the same time every day."

If I woke up with the sunrise in winter I'd be waking up 2 hours later than in the summer (3, really, because of daylight saving time).

The time doesn't change by a lot every day, sure, but that's not relevant to things like transportation or work schedules.


yeah i just meant like it's mostly the same time between days, but shifts heavily seasonally. I suppose one season might be worse for you than another based on your internal circadian clock

I very much agree. Doesn't need to be taken to extreme though.

BTW, for me this is the best use for AI: it's so much lower effort to type some sentences for AI to create a rough plan for me to engage with, and improve iteratively, then start implementing it, than doing this myself from scratch. Essentially anti-procrastination breaker.


Most OSS is build by companies to commoditize their complement, not by some random devs building random stuff in free time.

Aren't Tesla Model Y SUVs though?

No, they're crossovers. Closer to a hatchback.

I mean, they're literally called SUVs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_SUV

Even https://www.tesla.com/modely uses the term "Electric Midsize SUV"


huh well TIL, thank you. My definitions of Sports Utility Vehicle are outdated. They have almost no clearance, and the suspension is not tuned for anything more than small washboards.

Targeting here goes beyond reasonable expectation from a military at war. Compare that to the russian terror of lobbing 500kg bombs at random housing blocks.

Or the Israeli terror of lobbing 2000lb bombs at random housing blocks for that matter.

I suspect that "random housing block" was on top of some non-random tunnels full of non-uniformed military intentionally using the occupants of those houses as human shields.

Otherwise there's no reason to use such a large bomb on some houses.


A state that considers its enemies to be the modern day incarnation of "Amalek" may use such bombs...

Yes, agreed.

Does it? Do you have any data on how many of these devices ended up in civilian hands?

Afaik they intercepted a shipment for Hamas members only. Do you have more information?

How many civilians there even use these pagers instead of mobile phones? Are there any?


Hamas is in Gaza, this attack was against Hezbollah and civilians in Lebanon.

>Afaik they intercepted a shipment for Hamas members only

Ignoring that it was Hezbollah, not Hamas, I would point out that many of Hezbollah members are civilians.


Members of an organization that shoots missiles over international borders and stockpiles arms cannot be called civilians.

That would apply to Americans and Israelis too.

I'm not a member of any American military or political organization that takes any kind of military action.

If you are part of the American electorate (including a voter who is eligible but choosing to abstain out of protest or indifference) you are part of a political organization that chooses military action.

That's fine if you think that, but I hope you know that your position is not common at all.

I was born an American. Hezbollah is a group you have to choose to join. Accidents of birth and conscious choices to join a group with a violent ideology and a history of acting on it are so different, I find it hard to believe you would actually equate them.

Hezbollah is more akin to joining the KKK or Weather Underground.


If you're registered to vote, you are. Congrats.

> Afaik they intercepted a shipment for Hamas members only.

What? Hamas didn't have any of the pagers, Hezbollah did.


A year on, some Lebanese bystanders hurt in Israel’s pager attack still recovering... Over 3,400 were wounded when devices belonging to Hezbollah members exploded https://www.timesofisrael.com/a-year-on-some-lebanese-bystan...

3,400 bystanders? Or 3,400 mostly-Hezbollah but some bystanders?

@dang why is this downvoted? Because I'm including a link to an Israely newspaper? Replying to a question asked? I don't include any opinion!

All I can tell you is that users downvoted it. As to why - your guess is as good as mine, though there are sometimes clues in the replies.

Indeed, my reply to his reply was downvoted as well. Along the lines of: "I have a preconceived opinion and don't want to deal with facts." Quite popular in some circles these days.

They are a money-losing startup. One that loses money on the core product. Yet they act like even less focused big tech company. Those usually have money printing machines, and can waste untold billions like facebook spend on VR.

Fine, let's just give up civilization and praise the disneyland for oligarch and rich brats, build and maintained by slave like labor.

If that was the goal, we'd be doing CBDCs instead of crypto scams.

If the demand for other oil products starts to drop due to EV prevalence, there might be less byproducts.
