Google is insane about billing any random ass card you’ve ever used in any system adjacent to them. I had them bill a domain name fee to my fucking government travel card just because I’d set it up once to pay for a hotel or something. Completely not the card I’d put in to pay for the domain name - they just changed it on their own.

The structural rigidity of an ISO shipping container comes from the corrugated walls; that’s how you can stack them. The walls have to be continuous for that to work. Once you start cutting holes in the walls to have windows and doors, you need to retrofit a stiffening frame or the container isn’t rigid enough. You need framing anyway in order to insulate and finish the interior walls.

But if you’re just going to put up a frame anyway, you may as well timber-frame a similar sized structure. You’re not getting anything from the container except a roof and two doors you won’t use, and it’s pretty cheap to roof a small structure too. Plus a lot of “container homes” wind up roofing the container anyway, since the used ones tend to have leaks.

It’s be cheaper to traditionally frame a same-sized structure and just make it look like a shipping container.

Literally South Africa’s entire case for “Gaza genocide” before the ICJ is predicated on the statements of the most right-wing Israeli leaders - often in positions that have no authority over the IDF - speak for their army and the intent of their operation to disarm Hamas and retrieve hostages.

But of course when you explore the statements of Palestinian leaders, you get “well they don’t speak for every Palestinian.”

It’s not illegal to develop nuclear weapons. It’s illegal to endanger people with nuclear materials, though

Right up there with “why wont Twitter do something about these obscure Nazi accounts I retweet to my audience of 2 million”

Oh no, I don’t like the tokens generated by the hand-cranked token generator I won’t stop cranking

Isn’t that the point of a tiny home? That you can have a lot of them in a given space?

It’s so absurd; it’s more expensive to convert a container into a home than to just build the home on site

Unless it’s Ben Gvir?

Is it “rewriting history” when he’s literally in the pictures touring the concentration camps?

They’re mostly made up and you should pay attention to who nobody expects to follow the laws of war (Russia, any Muslims at all)

Wait till you find out about the Grand Mufti of Palestine

How would you enforce a law against war, and who would it apply to?

It was a male grad student (Raymond Gosling) who did the work for Rosalind Franklin; Franklin reported to Maurice Wilkins; Franklin, Wilkins, Watson, and Crick collaborated for a two-paper submission to Nature which publicized the X-ray evidence for, and the theoretical implications of, DNA’s double-helical structure. The surviving members of this collaboration won the Nobel Prize (it is not generally awarded posthumously.)

This has morphed into a claim that “Watson and Crick stole Franklin’s work” because they’re white men and she’s a woman.
