We’re learning in real time that the ICC and UN are great tools, until they disagree with you, at which point they can be ignored and even threatened.

But, but… Dragging things out forever in court is his only move?
Maybe, it also has symbolic value, and might demoralise the civilian populace, whose support is crucial to the continued state support.
It still seems a weak move as infrastructure should be a more effective target, but who knows how many layers of distractions and attacks of opportunity really happen in the field?
Yes, as the blurb says in the fourth word or so.
Edit: did the math and counted up to the fourth word

I’d agree that there are some variation in the European far right. In contrast to Italy, Spain and Russia: German, French, UK, Nordic far right are not restricting abortion, but are doing most of the rest (northern European ones not as much dismantling welfare/healthcare as making it inaccessible to some, especially immigrants, trans, lgbt, etc).
From a European perspective, the US centre-right are more conservative than the European fringe right. The European far right doesn’t (typically) want to restrict abortion, sabotage education or reinstate child labor for example. And are mostly about increasing and militarizing police, disenfranchising minorities, and different schemes to control that only the right people get to vote.
I’d argue that the US centre right is actually as radical, or even more so than the European fringe right, they are certainly causing about the same commotion, but of course have much more power in the US.
The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago, the second best time is now.
@toboggonablaze is essentially correct, but let me try explain it in a slightly different way.
Lasers do a bunch of things to basically shoot a stream of photons at something. There’s basically two ways you can affect how much energy comes out of a laser, you can make the stream denser (more photons per second) - called intensity, or you can increase the energy in each photon.
The weird part about photon energy is that higher energy photons are of a different “color”, where red is lower than green, is lower than blue, is lower than gamma rays, etc.
So changing the color of a laser already means you’ve changed how much energy it can output.
Then there’s another part of your question: how lead gets heated up. Different materials respond differently to different types/wavelengths of light, an example you might be familiar with is that glass panes let through visible light, but not the heat from the sun, or that water also is see through, but can easily be microwaved (by microwaves - low frequency light).
Basically, a material can be more or less “translucent” in certain frequencies. I’d like to look lead up for you, but Google isn’t cooperating today. But basically, there are frequencies that lead will be more and less susceptible to.
That’s probably not what you meant with the question, but if that’s the application you want to use the laser for, you might want to take it into consideration.
So, in summary: color is energy, intensity is energy, you can change both independently, so your question doesn’t quite make sense.
Also, different targets will heat differently, also not making it a fair comparison.
We’re trying to describe the scarcity of something in units of something becoming less scarce every year. ftfy
For anyone else allergic to apples, maybe consider a pear, or an orange.
The concept is to imagine something you wouldn’t typically crave.
Real tip I received recently: Ask yourself if you’d eat an apple (instead of whatever you’re craving), if not, then it’s not because you’re hungry.
How long food lasts in a fridge will also depend on your climate, cooling speed (as mentioned elsewhere), fridge cleanliness, and how much you use your fridge.
Keeping everything covered with lids/clingfilm and/or everything vegetarian/vegan will also prolong fridge life. Keeping out ethylene (bananas, apples) from your fridge also helps.
I just had a soup batch in a few covered jars stay good for 9 days. In summertime things sometimes go bad in a single day.
The best measure is your own senses, if the food smells or looks bad, it probably is. And even then you can sometimes recook it (wilted vegetables can often be used in soup, stew, or even pie), especially if you catch it early.
Also here’s a neat summary with some other tips and tricks.
Surely it’s Slimothy Jimothy?
What? Most religious dogma is predicated upon free will, meaning we are capable of rearranging things according to our own machinations.
It would be like bacteria in a petri dish reorganising and reproducing, but it’s still creation in a sense separated from the creator.
Remember that every lie has consequences for all negotiations.
That Trump regularly turns on a dime and trashes or backs out of any relationship that doesn’t immediately benefit him persinally, means everything from trade negotiations to maintaining army bases becomes much harder.
And/or more easily manipulated as we saw with Saudis, China, and Russia.
There is no lesser evil when it comes to genocide.
This is obviously untrue. If the option a) is genocide and b) is genocide and also dismantling the methods to protest it, methods to oust the decision makers, dismantling national security in resources and relationships, at the same time as blatantly plundering both the pockets of citizens and communal coffers, there’s very obviously a more evil option.
Equivocation and black-white thinking is comfortable, but there are still shades of brown when the shit has hit the fan.
In the best of worlds you wouldn’t be in this situation, now you are, make the better choice.
Yeah, we got people in droves.
Elephants however are rare and majestic.
Not really true, it’s part of religious shame propaganda in 12 step programs to make you more susceptible to conversion.
Might be effective in the short term, but has many other negative psychological effects.
Secular rehab programs are equally or more effective, and require no such shame or disempowerment.
UwUpeans, so great, and so horrid at the same time.
You sir/madam/gentlebeing, are a most delightfully twisted individual.
