Rest in piss, Henry
  • From Wikipedia:

    Due to his adherence to an approach to politics called Realpolitik, which prioritizes pragmatic geopolitical considerations over moral or ideological values, Kissinger has been criticized for turning a blind eye to war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[6]

    A number of activists and human rights lawyers have sought to prosecute him for war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[8][150] Kissinger has been associated with such controversial policies as the U.S. bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, U.S. involvement in the 1973 Chilean military coup, a "green light" to Argentina's military junta for their Dirty War, and U.S. support for Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War despite a genocide being perpetrated.[255]

  • 'Astonishingly cruel': Alabama seeks to test execution method on death row 'guinea pig'
  • I mean you’re objectively correct, but those states don’t seem like they’re gonna stop capital punishment anytime soon. If current death row inmates ask to be executed by nitrogen, I don’t think there is any harm in trying.

  • 'Astonishingly cruel': Alabama seeks to test execution method on death row 'guinea pig'
  • I mean how many progressive stars have the death penalty? Most of the pushback towards it is because you could never design an ethical test, and that prisons might make a mistake (such as impure nitrogen).

    Lethal injections have a 7% failure rate, so at least 1 in every 14 executions are already botched.

    “The odds of being tortured to death by lethal injection are pretty substantial. The odds of a botch with nitrogen hypoxia are uncertain,” Dunham told CNN. “I think it’s a choice to avoid a sure bad thing, as opposed to an affirmative embrace of nitrogen hypoxia.”

    These are the same arguments that got the electric chair, and lethal injection approved. So unless we are going back to a firing line (which is practically painless, just messy), why not try to make it more ethical?

  • LibreWolf vs Arkenfox
  • From the creator of arkenfox.js

    AF (arkenfox) vs LW (librewolf) AF enables SB (safe browsing) and uses mozilla's API key. LW doesn't have a SB key (edit: note AF does block real time binary checks) AF updates same as Firefox. LW has no updater in windows AF can use any language, LW is limited to en-US AF restricts cross-site referrers by default LW ships with uBO - AF users have to do that manually and add/flip the two recommended filters as per the AF wiki So basically everything you see at Arthur's independent test site at https://privacytests.org/ for LW applies to AF along with referrers (navigational) with a green check as well

  • Global antineutrinos emitted from nuclear power stations
  • Probably not, unless the military is hiding some next level tech.

    For example, the current generation of detectors, nearly all of which weigh upwards of a ton, have to be placed within tens of meters of a reactor’s core—inside a facility’s fence.
