I wonder what the overall effect of this war will be on global warming. If you put together the awful pollution caused by the battle itself and the reduced oil and gas production that follows, it could be a net benefit. Sure, it's a sarcastic pov, but I'm trying to cling to the positive here so be nice.

Oh, so the Iranian government didn't shoot its own citizens en masse? It's just Zionist propaganda? Interesting

So Israel is at fault of the Iranian government slaughtering 30,000 of its citizens just last month?

OP here. I'd appreciate feedback on the book I posted about, if anyone feels like reading or skimming through it.

Show HN: Holy Mess – Israeli–Palestinian conflict from an atheist angle

whyage — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 15:59:23 +0000

Hi HN — This book is free to read or listen. I’m genuinely interested in critique on this attempt to analyze the Israeli–Palestinian conflict through an atheist lens. If you’re familiar with the region or with how ideology and identity shape long-running conflicts, I’d love your toughest feedback.

It doesn't erase Israel's genocide, but the question is still valid: why don't these crimes against Iran's own citizens evoke international outrage?

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is absolutely stunning (and safe, away from the closed area). It's like being on a different planet. If you haven't been to the Big Island and the park, you should add it to your bucket list.

Answering my own question (should have checked first): they have exam fees if you want to get a credit.

Many thanks, CA lawmakers. Now let's hope it works as intended and that the inevitable loopholes are plugged as soon as they're found.

Great idea overall. The results in the AI tab are not very creative though, just variations of the same creative idea.

If you want to be part owner of agricultural land, I couldn't recommend AcreTrader more. I've been investing with them for a few years now and the overall experience has been great. Too early to discuss profits yet as most investments are on a 5-10 year horizon.

It baffles the mind that people decry the death of a dog while munching a burger. Cows (or chickens, for that matter) are not less precious than dogs, and yet the vast majority of us eat as much and as many of them as they can afford.
