I feel like I don't know enough about Maduro to judge him one way or the other, and I think it's too simple-minded to just settle on "America doesn't like him so he must be a man of the people" because that's an easy way to accidentally overlook all kinds of heinous shit.

Also Maduro got ripped off. $13M for a used Dassault 900EX that's hot? Wack.

I don't have any official report but most media outlets' sources all claim the hostages were shot in the head.

Edit: Here since you guys are fucking babies and can't be bothered to look up news articles but somehow can be bothered to cry when someone posts a source you don't like, have a PBS link

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/netanyahu-pushes-back-against-massive-protests-over-gaza-and-hostages-no-one-will-preach-to-me

Now I'll wait for someone to cry about that link too because it's "funded by the Biden administration" or some garbage. I swear you people are like the online equivalent of a grown ass man who can't cook but is also a picky eater.

I read earlier this morning that the autopsy revealed multiple headshot wounds that were obviously fatal. I agree with you on the last part-- I saw an interview last night with the brother of one of the victims and he was quite critical of Netanyahu, pretty much saying it's entirely his fault.

Weren't the bodies found with multiple gunshots to the head, according to the autopsy?

The Israeli Health Ministry said autopsies determined the hostages were shot at close range and died on Thursday or Friday.

In other articles, the ministry says the autopsy revealed gunshot wounds to the head.

I started smoking when I was 13 because it was the only way one could take their shift break without being interrupted/called back into work. Before I smoked, my breaks would constantly get interrupted and I'd be called to do work but after I started smoking? No one dared to break the sacred rule of "don't fuck with someone's smoke break".

20+ years later and I'm still smoking 😎 and hopelessly addicted. I hate it.

Seeing him smoking actually makes quitting smoking way more appealing to me. Thanks Nigel!

Just familiarity for me.

I use SoulSeek and have for decades. I have no clue what scene you're talking about.

I'm bored so I'm just going to make a list:

• Lightroom Classic (I've tried Darktable, just not for me. I take a lot of photos on my DSLR and I've been using Lightroom since 2015 so for me it's worth eating the awful monthly subscription that I split with someone else.)

• Anki (flashcard app, very popular among med school students and folks trying to learn new languages. Open source and tons of useful decks available. I've aced plenty of exams thanks to Anki.)

• Bitwarden (finally caved and got a password manager-- could not be happier)

• CHIRP (the best for programming handheld, mobile and base station radios)

• CrystalDiskInfo (great for checking the health of SSDs and HDDs)

• DaVinci Resolve (love using this for video editing-- pirated copy was easy to find)

• Deluge (great for torrenting)

• foobar2000 (I love it for music)

• Greenshot (useful screencapture software)

• inSSIDer (great for wifi analysis)

• IrfanView (very good for photo management)

• MusicBrainz Picard (amaaaaaaaaazing god tier music management software to get all the correct metadata/album art)

• reWASD ($7 but it's so good for no BS macro'ing of keyboard/mouse/gamepad shortcuts and profiles. I have two PCs and two mice + gamepad attached to my PC and this software is very helpful. I think the license is for life.)

• WizTree (SSD/HDD visualization tool that is useful for figuring out what's taking up too much space on your drive)

I'm not sure which is considered the best but these are the ones I've read:

Diary of Anne Frank

Man's Search for Meaning

Oh man I crave peaches hard. A good peach is delicious.

Diary of Anne Frank should be mandatory reading and is worth reading multiple times at different stages of one's life. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl is also up there.
