Is the load breaking part of the brain the prefrontal cortex or the brain stem?

Did they start with brain surgery or did they warm up on less consequential things like stitches?

Any idea how much it costs?

> Determining who has control of a square in chess is a pretty interesting problem. Is it the person with the most material aiming at that square? [...] The formula I decided on here was that each piece contributes the inverse of it’s piece value, squared.

This is the most interesting part for me in part because it seems arbitrary.

I didn't really understand that part.

Why there weren't dimmer low pressure sodium lights?

Is that a natural barrier for the current method or we could also have n(log n)^epsilon ?

No it really didn't those conflicts began before Azerbaijan/Armenia and Azerbaijan/Armenia aren't really significant enough to influence anything.

This show how little you understand Israelis. First this isn't about Bibi, second ot wasn't humiliation but failure, third no atrocities on civilians would certainly changed the response - probably equivalent to a larger cast lead operation which also act as precedent of how Israel acted on the past.

Official? It is well known in Israel and for it's enemy that on holidays there are less people. Nothing weird or reasons to doubt it.

> But again does that make sense given how the Israeli elites feel about Palestinians? Just assume because it's a Jewish holiday Hamas will also take the day off?

No, if they did they wouldn't have anyone on the border.

Dear reader, notice how they shifted their claim from "And everyone just happened to not be at their posts" to the official story (wink wink although I offered no real evidence) is that the border was lightly manned.

Is wrong. It is kind of you to show you don't know what you are talking about.

I didn't swap those, their saying includes both Jews and Israel. What is a certain way, I'm confused.

But you can multpliy location by building up (there is some energy and time inefficiency in having to go up and down but in theory you can also build multiple layers of transportation), so how that works?
Re:What is the size of Yemen? (2024) on Sunday September 27, 2026 @06:39AM (#49865449)
Ignoring the curse upon Jews and and victory to Islam, how convenient.

Israel didn't lift a finger to hurt them before they attacked Israel but nice try to confuse cause and effect.

I did consider writing (Shia) instead of Shia but I still think it is mistake from a long term perspective due to previous history between shia and sunni.
Re:What is the size of Yemen? (2024) on Sunday September 27, 2026 @04:12AM (#49864459)
Nobody who isn't a Shia Islamist should want them to succeed ("God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse the Jews, Victory to Islam").
Wasn't a problem in such a building I visited but it had an essentially massive thermal battery (mass) cooled at night.

It is a joke
But the equivalent don't hold there is no one enforcing ICC warrants in Gaza and Yahya Sinwar wasn't in jail.
How that relates to rules to thee but not for me or jurisdiction of ICC?
Ehud Olmert was corrupt tho, he did have a plan to leave the west bank, it will be interesting to think where would we have been if it happens. Probably back to occupying sooner or later because of rocket attacks.
Conducting war is not subject to jurisdictions almost by definition so I'm unsure what your point is.
