That is seriously bad faith. Keep reading.

"The U.N.'s incorrect numbers are a result of their flawed counting method. Rather than counting the actual number of trucks that enter the Gaza Strip, in an attempt to conceal their logistical distribution difficulties, they only count the trucks that they have picked up from the Gazan side of the border," COGAT said in a statement.

On Tuesday, Jens Laerke the spokesperson for the U.N. humanitarian agency OCHA said the Israeli count was for trucks that were only partially filled to comply with its military's screening requirements. "COGAT counts what they screen and send across the border. We count trucks that arrive in our warehouses," Laerke said.

"Trucks that go in, screened by COGAT, are typically only half full. That is a requirement that they have put in place for screening purposes. When we count the trucks on the other side, when they have been reloaded, they are full," he said.

Other Israeli restrictions mean the trucks often do not move through the border and into warehouses in a single day, further complicating a clear count, Laerke said.

The youtube channel is about investing and startups, of course hype is included. It generates clicks.

The company Promixa Fusion is serious though and has very promising technology. Their peer reviewed paper on a stellarator based fusion power plant looks solid.

What credible organization doubts COGAT numbers?

They are the only ones who have a total count. UNRWA or WFP on their own know about their own trucks, not those of other organizations, or even commercial trucks.

citing the Nazis about the Holocaust

The Nazis meticulously documented the Holocaust. That's why we know so much about it.

During the trial, the perpetrators themselves never said that the Holocaust did not happen. Rather, they tended to absolve themselves of individual guilt. Neither they nor their defense attorneys claimed that the mass murder of Europe’s Jews did not happen.

My girlfriend has arthritis. She is often in pain, needs regular stretches and massages to get through a day. Her state varies. Some days he's fit, out, and about like a healthy person for hours. Towards the evening though, she can be very slow to get up the stairs. She has difficulties carrying heavy things and is pretty short to boot. She has a couple of other health problems as well. However, her charm and enthusiasm are outstanding. She has the ability to make everybody smile and encourages other people's ideas. Her skills in teaching meditation are also impressive. Personality can offset looks and physical deficiencies.

hyperindividualism, and that anyone who shares my values

The solution to this is community. If you join a community and demonstrate your ability to be useful, you will gain status and prove your worth as a partner.

lacking confidence

It's possible to develop that using personal mental spiritual development, as well as learning skills. Progress in these areas will help your confidence. You just have to put in the time to learn and practice.

You're still young. I met the love of my life in my 40s.

Chess.com also has a friendlier and more fun user interface.

It takes a little getting use to for sure. There are some quirks as well. The mobile app is also only somewhat polished.

These are not my favorite, but worth a try.

  • Apple Maps. For non Apple platforms, you can use DuckDuckGo to search for something and then click on maps on top. That gives you Apple Maps in the browser. It can provide directions as well.
  • Yandex.com/maps also is an option
  • Waze is great for driving and navigating

For reviews, I guess yelp and similar are an option.

How can I test, if I get blocked? I just started using Waterfox and so far no issues.

 

How big a military power is Russia actually? The IISS and the Financial Times recently claimed that Russia's military spending is bigger than all of Europe's combined. Others say that Russia is a mediocre power with an economic potential comparable to Italy. Which is true?

I dissect the numbers and explain the significance of purchasing power when comparing defense spending. On one hand, the IISS numbers are problematic, but on the other hand, Europe is still in deep trouble and needs to increase defense spending dramatically.

 

For three quarters of a century, the NATO alliance has been a fixture of European and North American security. Now however, the allies are embroiled in a very public split and the call by some European leaders has been for more defence independence from the USA.

Today, we look at some of the military capabilities the rest of NATO have, what independence might mean, and some of the economic, technical, and political barriers to achieving it.
