@Ali the Amalekite apparently in Israel the Jew ascendency is the critical criteria; masses of "Russian Jews" came in the 90s, eating pork etc and visibly not giving the slightest shit about religion. So I suppose the ethnic criteria trumps everything, but I didn't explore the question much : I have no interest or temptation in living in an ethnic-nationalist, violent, fascist state like Israel.
in reply to Emmanuel Florac

... the ethnic criteria trumps everything ...


Au contraire, @Emmanuel Florac. It would seem that something trumps genetic inheritance**. See Rufeisen v Minister of the Interior (1962).

** I think that you mean 'descendance' where you state 'ascendency' and 'racial' where you state 'ethnic'; is this correction accurate?

And now MAGAts have a martyr.
Droolius Seizure needs to send the Praetorian Guard to restore order to the crime-ridden state …


yep... this is the excuse he's been looking for to institute martial law

in reply to Joyce Donahue

not the Guard and Now he’s ready to announce another state he will send them to


the states that were willing to play ball and send their troops are hitting the 29-day limit, so he may be having trouble finding the next batch



hachyderm.io/@itamarst/1151815… itamarst@hachyderm.io - Occasional reminder that anyone with a Canadian ancestor can now apply to get a Canadian citizenship grant: reddit.com/r/Canadiancitizensh…

It can be a very distant ancestor! Really! "But my it's my great-great grandmother" yep that's OK you can apply anyway, some people have succeeded, worst case Canadian government says no.

This is a temporary measure until a new law passes: parl.ca/LegisInfo/en/bill/45-1…

And time is running out for grants with Parliament returning next week. Hopefully the new law will make many people with Canadian ancestors into citizens, but not as many as the grants will, and the law hasn't passed and may yet be amended to be worse.

You have to apply for the grant; if you don't apply, you won't get it.

word on the street is that he was mid-sentence on a shooting topic when the bullet hit

in reply to Susan ✶✶✶✶

People shouldn't be killed, that's right. But in this case it's highly ironic that he literally got what he preached. He just never expected to be on the receiving end of what he demanded.

It's situation normal for us USians to murder one another and our children. It's not situation normal for our leaders to be fascists that encourage it


Small electric trucks already cost-competitive with diesel without subsidies

A new report published by business consultancy Mov3ment has revealed that the total cost of ownership for light urban delivery trucks is already close to diesel, even without subsidies.

Mov3ment, a Brisbane based business consultancy, last week published what it believes to be a “first-of-its-kind resource” to help Australian fleet operators, suppliers, and policymakers, navigate the electric truck market.

The Electric Truck Report – produced in partnership with charging company Jet Charge and non-profit A2EP – provides a comprehensive but easily digestible analysis of model availability, suitability, financial viability, and charging considerations.

An analysis of total cost of ownership (TCO) for six example truck applications – including urban delivery, supermarket home delivery and distribution, regional, and waste collection – is simplified by an easy-to-use viability matrix.

For example, and representing one of the key findings from the report, light duty trucks and vans used for urban delivery and supermarket home delivery have come down in price enough that they are beginning to be competitive with diesel alternatives.

in reply to Andrew Pam

This makes a lot of sense - the start-stop cycling and low speeds of urban (even sub-urban) delivery is a really sweet spot for electric batteries and motors.

mastodon.social/@mhoye/1151799… mhoye@mastodon.social - I get a chance to talk to a local club of mostly teens and young adults soon, so I get to introduce them to two of my favourite texts about organizations: the CIA's Simple Sabotage manual, and Issendai's classic "Creating a Sick System".

One of the great gifts we can give kids early in their careers is a language for recognizing when these things are being done to them, so they can see this class of things for what they are.

In the paper they also note various other ways to find out who was at a protest:

License plate readers to track the vehicles arriving and leaving at the protest.
Location data brokers, such as Locate X and Fog Data Science, to track the phones of protestors by their mobile advertising IDs (MAID).
Cellebrite and other forensic extraction tools to download all the data from phones of arrested protestors if they are able to unlock those phones.
Geofence warrants, which require internet companies like Google to disclose the identifiers of devices within a given location at a given time.
Facial recognition such as Clearview AI to identify all present via public or private databases of peoples faces.
Tower dumps from phone companies, which, similar to geofence warrants, require phone companies to turn over a list of all the phones connected to a certain tower at a certain time.
