"Une graine dans le bocal piment" ?

Actually 157 out of 192 UN countries recognize the state of Palestine right now. When Crimea was invaded by Russia in 2014 and Israël had already been occupying parts of it illegaly for over 40 years, the count was 133. As soon as 1994, even before Netanyahu's first tenure, there were more than half (96) UN member states recognizing the state of Palestine.

Most countries absolutely do and have recognized Palestine and the imperialism that goes on there is old as fuck. Yours maybe doesn't, mine only switched this year as a mostly performative act. Source: even a passing glance at wikipedia

Unfortunately not. Quantum teleportation is an awful name: it's called that way because it implies "destroying" a quantum state somewhere, and "recreating" it identically somewhere else, effectively transmitting information. However, the process also requires a classical information transfer at some point, and is absolutely not instantaneous . It's only useful for cryptography because it's mathematically impossible to listen in on this information being transferred without disturbing it.

It's one of the most unfavorable coolness-of-name vs. coolness-of-actual-thing ratio in physics.

I don't know about this Milhouse business, but he did have some very salient point: that time he gushed blood uncontrollably from bis neck and died has raised serious doubt in my previously staunch anti-gun disposition. Now I have to manually remind myself that most gun violence victims are unfortunately not Charlie Kirk.

Maybe one of them performed their spell over the dark web, with bitcoin as sacrifice.

Tolerance is not an absolute principle, it's just a social contract. People who breach it aren't protected by it; end of paradox.

That and making, in what should be seen as the sole crowning jewel upon a veritable turdwagon of a life as a professional waste of carbon, the best argument in favor of gun violence since Brian Thompson

At least he died doing what he loved

TIL the French Novel/Memoir "Métaphysique des Tubes" (lit. metaphysics of tubes) by Amélie Nothomb was translated in English as "the Character of Rain". Weird choice.
