Is it not possible that there really was a John Alfred Tinniswood living in 1921 but the man who now claims to be him in 2024 is actually someone else who stole the original's identity when he died unrecorded?


Because fb knows the user is male and odds are this would attract a click.


click looks remarkably like dick when set in this context.


True. They probably know if you're gay also, so in that case they might do it.


"was"

They are still busy patent trolling today.


There was a similar thing to tea a while back. I think I saw the project posted on here. Went to their github and found a typo in their Readme. Opened a pr with a correction and then they started sending me about a dollar in btc every month till they ran out of money and the project imploded.


Doesn't matter who you buy into the whitehouse, you also need to buy the majority in both houses of congress for anything to get done.

This is prohibitively expensive for anyone, even the largest corporations.


It's not too expensive to start paying for fundraising dinners for your local representatives, mayors, congress persons, etc.

You can help get people elected into local positions that align with your interests. AND some of those people will continue to build their career in politics and may become Senator or Governor someday.

That's influence. That's buying into the system to make it how you think things will be better.


My house rep has been in office for over 30 years. And my city doesn't directly elect the mayor.

Such is life in Palo Alto.


Too bad there aren't County and other elections out there.

It appears that Palo Alto has elections for city council every 4 years.

Here's an election guide:

Noip isn't free?

I have 3 domains there for years and I haven't paid them once.

Some time ago they started requiring that I mark the domains active each month. I wrote a script that intercepts that email and logs into their site to reup the domains. Recently that script broke and I haven't bothered to fix it because logging in once a month is a nothing burger.


There are still some mom and pop shops that carry that sort of stuff. Try to find one near you and then give them a lot of business


I'm here with mobile Firefox and HN is abreviating the display of those links so they are ACTUALLY identical on my screen.


Those 500 trucks included other stuff besides food. Things like concrete (for tunnels) and water pipes (for mortars).

Nowadays (as in the last few months) a minimum of 250 FOOD trucks enter Gaza daily. Sometimes as high as 350.

This also means that the embarrassing US floating pier brings in approximately nothing compared to the land crossings.


> Things like concrete (for tunnels) and water pipes (for mortars).

Those were both banned. The trucks were mainly food.

Also, the story was that they built rockets out of the pipes. In reality, they were remanufactured arms out of Israeli duds. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/middleeast/israel-h...

> Nowadays (as in the last few months) a minimum of 250 FOOD trucks enter Gaza daily. Sometimes as high as 350.

Current estimates are that 1000-1500 trucks a day are needed due to both the backlog of lack of food and the destruction of Gaza internal food production.


You cant just inflate numbers at will to suit your narrative.

Current estimates are in fact only 500 trucks a day needed. This is directly from the UN.

Me too, I would like to see the evidence, but alas the occupying power does not allow free press to be on the Gaza strip.

I would just remind you that there is not just a famine, but a brutal genocide too, and Communications itself is under attack. Please give some leniency to the people who are bombed to the ground, killed and maimed, and using web trees to connect to the World, for not showing enough evidence of famine. Although I wonder how much of an evidence would be needed to make us all believe there is a famine. But , surely more than the evidence to believe that this is an act of defence by the occupying power is needed.


> alas the occupying power does not allow free press to be on the Gaza strip.

and yet day after day we hear the details of things that didn't even happen from hamas. you'd think if they had evidence they would use that.


How far is Israel expected to deliver the food? Right to everyone's door?

A seige means the borders are closed. The current situation, for at least 6 months now is that Israel is letting food trucks through the border, more and more every day.

A problem exists for that last mile inside Gaza where no one wants to distribute it because militants will straight up beat truck drivers with sticks to steal the trucks and the food.

You'd think the UN would step in and do something but so far they mostly just sit on their hands bleating.

So to summarize: there are huge piles of food just inside the Gaza border that are not being distributed efficiently/at all.

I also want to point out that it's not in Israel's best interest for there to be food shortages inside Gaza. The first people who will be starved are the hostages, so Israel wants to flood the strip with so much food that some trickles down to her citizens held there against their will.


>Right to everyone's door?

There are not much of them doors left anyway.

>A seige means the borders are closed.

Yes, practically for close to two decades now. Sea, Air and Land.


Drone and bomb attacks are delivered to doors without a problem, so... Yes.


I don't think Israel cares that much about the hostages (the constant indiscriminate bombing might give a hint). But if that's true and the hostages are in the hands of Hamas, then Israel would provide food and supplies to Hamas, right?

Where are your sources about "huge piles of food just inside the Gaza border?"



Anyway, there are a lot of reasons, one is this :

> Aid groups say coordinating their movements with the Israeli military inside Gaza remains a complicated and time-consuming process, sometimes requiring hours to coordinate safe access to the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom border. And despite these efforts, Israeli airstrikes have hit aid workers on multiple occasions.

I haven't found anything on the investigation that is supposedly investigating the WCK workers murder. Unless the people who did that receives exemplary punishment, what sort of NGOs could distribute that aid? And ITF forces are still on the ground, and air.
