    The administration is trying to claim that there were ceasefires and that because there were (based on their claims), the conflict timer resets so as to be with the 60 day window before Congress needs to approve the continued use of the military. So basically the new conflict that just started immediately follows the previous conflict, that started back in February, is still within the 60 day window.












  • This is anecdotical but I moved into an apartment with a 30 year old ionizing smoke detector, and the failure was it was too sensitive, I assume because there were less electrons being emitted from the radioactive element, any faint smoke caused it to go off. Eventually it got into a state where it would always be in an alert state, and was beeping 100% of the time, which was when the landlord finally replaced it.

    My assumption with the 10 year replacement recommendation for Americium based smoke detectors is to replace it before it becomes too sensitive and annoying, because they were worried some people would remove the battery and just live without an active smoke detector.


  • A lot of people use ads as another way to connect with a new person; meeting a other local to your area means you can mention a particularly overplayed ad from childhood and likely be able to find another person who saw it growing up too.

    Do you think this is true for younger generations than millennials? Obviously ads with high production value like matt damon’s fortune favors the brave gets talked about, but I don’t know anyone who makes cultural references to a generic ad on TV or YouTube with average production value. I think for the average advertisement nowadays, there’s too much saturation of content and not everyone watching ads, that you couldn’t have a normal ad like this mundane Sears Air Conditioner commercial be ingrained in kids memories.
