They will select a new primary leader, but they are organized more as a confederation than a centrally controlled group. Very little of their action relies on there being a leader at all. Past Israeli assassinations of their leaders haven’t weakened the group, and I don’t see any reason this time would be different.

Many sinks do not have overflow drains.
Unfortunately, the alternate option was not “let them stay hostage a while longer”. It was “let the hostages die”. And maybe that would have been the more ethical call. But let’s not delude ourselves that they could have been kept alive any other way.
Does Arizona not have an online free system? Illinois has a very hand-holding guided set of questions and has for years, it’s always been our federal taxes that make my head hurt to fill out via the IRS’s FreeFillableForms site.
The photo setup leaning in to the kitten looking like a dragon (eating dragonfruit) is awesome.
It happened in Maine. And Alaska. And is on track in Nevada.
Modern industrial farming is not sustainable for the next hundred years, no, but there are a lot of levers to work to transform it into something that will reliably feed future generations.
One lever is amount and kind of meat in the average diet. It takes something like seven pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. Modern chicken breeds are amazingly efficient at converting feed grain to chicken meat, but even they are something like two pounds in to one pound out. Reducing the percent of meat in our diets would make our food go significantly further.
The plants use energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide from the air into edible calories. When our animal bodies “burn” the food we eat, that turns it back to carbon dioxide, which we exhale.
The energy input is the sun, and most of the calories come from the air (carbon dioxide). Given so much external input, harvesting from a plot without reducing soil fertility is totally possible. With nitrogen-fixing crops (soybeans being the poster child), even the nitrogen fertilizer comes from the air.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct
It reduces bone density. Not to unhealthy levels in teens, but there are concerns the lower baseline will increase osteoporosis risk when the patients get to old age.
They can also only be used for a couple of years. Some non-binary people want to be on them permanently, but doctors won’t prescribe that. Some kids want more time to decide, and unfortunately there isn’t anything safe to use through the full teenage years.
It used to be more true, when straight chlorine was what was used. Now most municipalities use chloramine, which is more stable. Most plants don’t care, but it’s an issue for fish, so there are “water conditioner” products for aquariums that remove both chlorine and chloramine.

To an extent, this is already happening. I work in manufacturing, and the last couple of years there was more demand for our product than our factories were physically capable of producing, and prices were raised to weed out the number of customer orders to what we could handle. Projections for this year are for softened demand, and sales expects to have to offer significant price cuts to keep enough orders for our manufacturing lines to stay busy.
Collective “we have enough stuff and will buy less” at work.
Turns out the flavorful chemicals in fresh orange juice go bad really quickly. Standard industrial practice is to treat the juice to remove the flavor for bulk storage, then each brand has a proprietary “flavor mix” they add at the time of filling the individual containers.
My understanding was fuel is the main thing Hamas wants imported, with unconfirmed reports they have taken fuel from some hospital stocks that were being used to run generators for medical equipment. Other estimates say Hamas already has enough fuel stockpiled to keep tunnel ventilation fans and their internal phone network going for months without resupply, so I don’t know what to believe.
That food, water, and medical supplies are going to general use aid isn’t surprising. But the continued embargo on fuel, and resulting increasing electricity blackout, is an ongoing major contributor to the humanitarian tragedies.
Israel was asking every place that had civilians in the north, including this hospital, to evacuate them south. Which itself is highly problematic, but the warnings were not specific to this hospital.
Not a hypothetical: Hostess folded, as did Yellow trucking. Unions can’t save a business from bad business decisions or destructive market forces.
But businesses fold all the time, union or no union. When business is good, unions make sure the employees get a fair piece of that.
It’s important for vote counts to to be independently checked. Having who voted publicly available means an investigative journalist can prove the county clerk’s claim that dead people voted and so they can’t certify the election is false. Or catch attempts at fraud. Both as a double-check on government in the case of officials who are lying or have acquired false beliefs, or as outside help if the issue isn’t caught internally due to under-resoucing.
