The mount of time that had to be spent to clean that place up to keep from getting shut down by health code violations must have been terrible for the workers...

Sure, but its also possible that the guilt any Israeli feels doesn't have a clear... explanation? cause?... that can be rationally understood. It's going to take time to process the internalized racism and bigotry and figure out which side you'll come out on: "It is good to be a racist bigot (or I'm not a racist bigot at all) and it was the government's fault for pursuing a regional war improperly" or "Oh, fucking shit, we were the bad guys the whole time and I'll need to rethink everything I've ever been taught or thought about the country that I grew up in."

sets traps in building that have already been cleared
Shit's not a video game, once you leave a building or area it stops being cleared/secured.
We’re sitting ducks in a shooting range.

Is that photo weird or is that hallway something like 2.5 feet wide? I was expecting a photo of, like, a 6 foot wide hallway and it just looked a bit cluttered but still completely easy to move through.
I can understand all the people currently living on the floor coming a tacit agreement or accepting the situation but ... mmaaayyybbeee ... the cyclist could be planning for a better way to store their bikes. One of the text back-and-forths mentions that another cyclist doesn't use their bike as they cannot move their bike freely down the hallway without banging into the hallway-parked-bikes.
And yeah, what happens as people move in/out and their situation doesn't allow them to be as accepting of the current situation the previous neighbors went along with? If the person using the very narrow hallways as a parking spot isn't able to work around their current neighbor(s) asking them to rethink how they are using the communal space, I highly doubt they'd be any more flexible with a neighbor who is brand new and a complete stranger.
Also this text from the person parking in the hallway...
the only place of open wall in my apartment i in the narrow hallway I can't put a rack on my wall there without literally blocking the hallway in my apartment.
... is a bit priceless.
Also also...
...I'm frankly frustrated that someone's who's been living here shorter than anyone else is asking me to do something...
Which I hadn't read until after I commented about "what they gonna do when somebody new moves in and asks for the situation to be renegotiated"...

Huh... who could have predicted that falling wages and increasing home rental prices would mean that lots of rental units would be sitting vacant for longer and longer periods of time?
Its funny, in the laugh to keep from crying in despair kind of way, that landlords as a group are inclined to keep posting higher rental prices for their units because no individual wants to be the first to "lose" money by reducing their rates to get somebody in the units.
Is the appearance of having something that could at some future date produce "x" amount of revenue more important that actually generating revenue?
Perfectly efficient economic system we've got right here.

Lets say, hypothetically, I don't hit you with this bat... 
For whatever reason my brain has decided to think about this. VLC will record the Desktop and Space Rangers but not Transformers: Devastation Though the game screen it captures for is a different size than what is captured with the Desktop while either game is running. Seeing what happens when Transformers runs results in a white screen being recorded while the game window is in focus. My ancient Radeon graphics card and Windows 7 operating system (don't at me Linux folks, I know I know) has some screen recording stuff build into it. Will record the Desktop just fine, records only a black screen while the game is running and its window is focused for one game but records the other game just fine and at an appropriate size. For curiosity's sake what would I be looking for as reasons or solutions to this? Edit: Running everything as Administrator seems to help in OBS. Who knew?  OBS seems to play nice with Transformers: Devastation now, lets me draw the bounding box in the Game Source instead of trying to use the Display source. Still haven't figured out why OBS is being wonky with Space Rangers not recording in "Game Source" but did get a lead on why the size is wonky in the recording of "Display Source". The max resolution for the CD version (the one I've got) is 1024x768 and my monitor is 1920x1080. (Unsure why there's a difference between what I see playing the game and what the software is recording.) And the only resolution patch I've found doesn't work on the CD version... :whomp-whomp:
... but I finally did it. For whatever silly reason, I decided to play the 2005 version of Space Rangers ( a kinda difficult game on its easy mode) on its hardest difficulty setting and after a handful of bad starts and one very loooonnnng good run I managed to finish. To celebrate I will use this emoji ::: spoiler spoiler  ::: And as penance I will start reading Capital Volume 1 as linked by comrade Vampire in their "get in nerds we're reading all volumes of Capital" reading group.
I'm out here touching grass and enjoying the sunshine. Watching the fireflies at night and dragonflies during the day. You ever seen somebody high five a dragonfly? I have, its fucking amazing. Look at that rock. That's a fucking cool assed rock! What kind of rock is it? Fuck if I know, but its cool as hell. What's going on in that tree? I hear some rustling. Hey! Its a squirrel, up there doing squirrely things. See whats going on with those flowers? They're out here getting all pollinated by bees and shit. Holy fuck! Look at the size of that grasshopper! That fucker is HUGE.

Slowly working on reviving an old Asus AX1200. Got linux mint running on it but was wondering if there's any recommendations for wireless PCEx1 cards to look out for? Bonus if it's got bluetooth as well.

So I got around to getting a new digitizer (screen) and replacement battery for an ancient iPhone and got them installed. Question for those who've replaced digitizers... Any ideas as to why the screen will behave as if its being touched in a bunch of places without actually being touched? Its not all the time, maybe 2 or 3 times in a day. All I have to do is turn off the screen and wait a few seconds. This is the second digitizer I've replaced but the first time I've had this issue. Mostly just curious if there someone more technically inclined/experienced with an answer other than guessing.
150+ pounds so far (that I need to get put in the freezer) and probably another 100 still in the tree.
Pay is less than my old job. Hours are less than my old job. Two more work days a week than my old job. Zero supervision and I'm in a building completely alone for 3~7 hours (depending on the day). But at least its not temporary (until its decided that the office isn't "economically feasible" and I wind up out of work again). So I guess that's something. I wonder how long it will take me to get settled so that I can get back into reading again?  Its about the only thing that's got me low key excited. Been too long since I was able to read any theory related books without my tired brain just shutting down.

[A comrade posted about this USA federal program a while ago.](https://hexbear.net/post/163642) So I spent a few days looking into it. Website was fairly clear, making an account was no problem, site function is pretty good (no hanging pages, dead links, etc). There's a link to a page where you can put in your city/state or zip code and it gives a <100% accurate list of businesses that participate in the program. (So if you already have a service provider and they aren't listed, call their customer service number and ask if they participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program. Two of the local telecoms that service my area participate, and their customer service people absolutely knew about the program and seemed genuinely happy to let me know what I needed to do.) It took a day or so for the ACP site to tell me I was approved. The first page after logging in to the site has your "Application ID" right there for you to see. This is the magic number to give to your ISP. I contacted my ISP about midway through the billing cycle and gave them the info they wanted. They didn't contact me to let me know when the discount was going to be applied but it showed up as a 30 dollar credit on my next full month's bill. Which dropped my current internet bill down by 77%. So, its all very :hexbear-retro:, so far. A new internet service just came out to my house today to finish running actual fiberoptic with ~100Mbps up/down (compared to my original provider with 15/1... which is ... :downbear: ). From the ACP site's FAQ page, the credit is transferable to a new ISP and all I think I needed to do was just give the new ISP the Application ID number. So I've started the process with the new ISP and get to wait to see if I understood the program's directions for transferring the credit correctly. **So at the very least, if you're already on some government assistance, this should be a breeze if you want to try for it.** I didn't look at the part of the application process for people who would need to provide more documentation for income verification. So I don't have any useful things to say about that.
