The Palestinian Authority (PA) pays for it and is the direct employer of all HA staff in Gaza apart from a few Hamas political appointees. This isn't exactly hard to find out. Most of the funding for the salaries, plant and consumables comes via the PA ...
Been working on something else for the last couple of days Weird. I was working on this site over the weekend changing the CDN, and trying to fix a issue with comments. Ummm just tested desktop theme on chrome/linux, firefox/linux, edge/windows, firefox/...
lprent, apologies for the previous comment, ...
What tattoos are paid for by the Ministry of Health? I deliberately picked a range of examples that are based on choice specifically for your benefit. I notice you cherry picked only one example to respond to and ignored all of the others. Kind of ...
Ok. So that is a purely bureaucratic issue in another nation. Sloppy. Hardly earth shattering. However that has nothing to do with anything outside of the NHS. Here is just means that the reporting provisions for similar centres should be reviewed. Just as...
The studies were poor for both views. From what I see in the studies is that there isn't evidence one way or another. Finding that some people have regret about their decisions simply isn't unexpected and is their choice if they are informed about the ...
The question is always about choice and informed choice. I can and did go into the army as a teenager. That was a choice that carried risk. I have family members that have had grommets for hearing issues. That carries medical risks. My problem is that I ...
We don't "shut it down". But I sure as hell disagree with virtually all of you who are so damn concerned about this minor issue. Frankly I can't see what so many are so concerned about the genitalia and hormones of others. It is almost pornographic to ...

Scoop is effectively that. Send them a news release and most of the time it will go up. It does seem to work on more of a donation model - ummm and Pro subscription. The Spinoff, The Conversation, Evening Report also do quite a lot of that as well. Paid ...
I think it is fucked up that only those who can afford to pay get to read..what could be important information for those blocked.. Personally I think that what is fucked up is when you say something like that without having (apparently) any idea or even ...
Yeah - so show me a credible source that says that this how a triple standard is defined. As far as I can see it is a meme that sounds cool for moronic fucktard posturing. Essentially a meaningless blathering by fools who are too lazy to use their brains ...
There would not be a uniform 2-6 degrees warming. Yeah. Or even uniform in one place over the seasons. Plus it is the wind and the rain (or lack of it) that is the major issue. I really don't think that people quite realise just how damn stable the world ...
To keep within 1.5 or even 2 degrees we probably have to reach net-zero now or at least in the next couple of years, long before 2050. Plus we have to hope we didn't hit too many tipping points yet. I suspect that we were too late even by the late 1980s ...
Incog. @12.1 beats lprent on that one.
The other feature of the past year has been the number of posts and articles I see where climate scientists are saying ‘ok, we didn’t really expect that…’ It actually isn't what they have been saying in reality. It was a combination of (I'm paraphrasing...
Isaac son of Chaim Herzog. Sorry. Unfortunately the (missing) compiler let that one past. I have problems understanding exactly how the analysts could have missed it. Hamas have been quite robust in their belief that Gaza and Palestine could not go on as ...
Israel has responsibilities, intent, accountability etc, but Hamas doesn't... Hamas are not a nation-state. They are a local political party and civilian militia in a occupied region that is not part of any state. While the State of Palestine has been ...
Pretty much. Quite how they 'think' that any of this will help Israel in the longer term is unknown. It is essentially the same suppression tactics that they have been using since after the 1967/1973 wars. You'd think that they would have learnt after 50 ...
He actually hasn't been too bad starting this time around. He is always like this after a long period away. Forgets how to argue coherently after he has been living in a bubble for a while. I have been making damn sure that I keep using his own tactics ...
I don't recall anyone suggesting war crimes by Aus soldiers were 'Australian' atrocities, that it showed a general incompetence, lack of discipline .... And then you drivel off onto making mountains out of molehills again. I certainly did. Specifically ...
I don't always/often agree with you lprent but as soon as I see Psycho Milt re-appear I think this isn't going to end well.
Ah exactly what standard do the other "liberal democracies" follow? There is a nice summary here that should be simple enough for even a dumbarse civilian like you to understand in the section "The rules of war". https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/...
The account from the BBC is the best that I have seen for what happened. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68742572 What is noticeable through the whole account was that.. That apparently the the firecontrol officer for a heavily built up area ...
What "triple-standard". What kind of a hypocritical fuckwit are you? I presume that this is some kind of meaningless meme by the incestuous group speak of the right wing inbreds. Israel as a foreign country is in occupation on Gaza. It is hunting for a ...

Umm. You have to remember that the responsibility for any public accessible system lies completely with the person(s) maintaining it. Doesn't matter if it is a state actor or not, simply because you can't prove it one way or another. You have to put that ...
Umm. With a Oppo phone check which browser it is using by default. https://www.techbone.net/oppo/user-manual/default-browser Most Oppo smartphones come with Google's Chrome browser pre-installed, but if you want to use a different browser, you will need to...
Next of kin have no legal obligations to the debts of relatives. That bit of legal stupidity mostly died in commonwealth law by the end of the 19th century. It was the cause of so much misery as relatives were thrown in debtors prisons for the debts of ...
