What’s it called what you have a camp with a large number of people in a small area?

I don’t think so. I’ve never heard of it, I can’t find any info about it with a quick Google, and other articles just say “surplus oil rigs” without specifying ownership. I think this is just a mistake by the author.

Golden Rice, also known as Malusog Rice, was developed with enhanced levels of beta-carotene to help tackle vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a form of malnutrition affecting more than 15 percent of children under six in the Philippines.

Greenpeace once again on the wrong side for reasons completely unsupported by data. I found this from 2013: https://www.greenpeace.org/international/publication/7136/golden-illusion/

They say golden rice is “an ineffective tool to combat VAD it is also environmentally irresponsible, poses risks to human health, and compromises food security”, but these claims are wholly unsupported. The linked PDF only tries to scare you with the unknown (“we don’t know how the body processes this beta carotene!” like it’s different from that in carrots, and they don’t cite anything that shows people eating it developed health issues).

The pasteurization process destroys the virus, and making the sauce would do the same thing anyway. Just bring it to 150°F if you can.

I have. A guy was an electronics sales account manager at a previous job. He came to work for us as an IT services sales manager. Two or three months in, the previous employer called us and said his noncompete covered everything related to technology (or maybe just a combination of sales and technology), so he left.

The first link to the BBC article shows production starting to drop in 2010-2011. The US didn’t put boots on the ground in Syria until 2015, at which point production was nearly as low as it gets in that chart.

The definition in the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907.

The US, for one. If this is supposed to be a gotcha, that makes it a puppet state at best, still not an occupation.

A territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army. In this case, that area is under the control of the SDF.

It looks like most outlets carrying this story are just re-reporting this one from SANA: https://sana.sy/en/?p=329527

And that seems a bit light on details. And the details it does have seem slanted, like painting the US presence as an occupation, a border crossing as an illegal settlement (I can’t even find any other references to Mahmoudiya in Syria with a quick Google), and the photos just show pictures of random tanker trucks, nothing that would indicate location, direction, contents, or operator.

My sense is that the US is supporting a rebel faction in the Syrian civil war, and the ruling faction (Bashar al-Assad’s) is trying to paint them as the bad guy, for something that may or may not be legitimate, and may or may not even be happening at all. There’s not enough evidence here to draw any conclusions.

They have the support of more world powers than Palestine.

Elephants aren’t destroying the world.

Maybe invading Ukraine is how they’re trying to change the leading cause of death for young men.

The problem is that dairy subsides make cow milk less expensive than it should be. Those subsidies should be reallocated to environmentally-friendly alternatives. The average shopper at the store is going to look at the price tags and pick the one that’s like half the cost.

The article says it was her and accomplices running proxy companies, so it wasn’t just one person getting $12.5b.

Control of the area to run their own ethnostate. It’s been their goal since day one.

As with most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Tomorrow Poland. The US isn’t until next week.

Because that is not the name of the crime in Washington. It says sexual misconduct, which is the name of the crime.

Washington has a surprisingly modern discussion of consent in that law, but conspicuously missing is anything about abuse of a position of power, which is typically used in these exact cases (teacher-student, prison guard-inmate, police-detainee, etc.). Honestly if that’s not part of the law in WA I’m not sure how they figure it’s illegal under this law.

Probably because the explosion has not been attributed to anyone or anything yet.

It does say it was a shell at one point in the article, though that could be tank or artillery, or it could have even not been fired but turned into an IED.

I give them points for reporting the exact facts, nothing more or less.
