nice! Thanks for the idea. I actually have a couple of those adapters lying around already... somewhere. I've been using these, which address the port-to-surface-area ratio problem cited above as a bonus

It seems weird to equate "propping up a domestically unpopular leader who has spawned waves of massive weekly protests over several years and has faced repeated criminal charges and calls for his arrest" with "standing with Israel"

It's encouraging to see media using the "Israel said" framing rather than presuming their statements are true.
But... does Israel think Hamas can just pop into their local DNA testing lab? And how did Israel confirm such a finding — with a confidence level of resuming bombings — in only a few days?

What exactly is the rationale for keeping the remaining "non-fighters" being held in "administrative detention without trial"? Is it for future bargaining? If so, how is that any different from a hostage?

the line that *Russ Vought* "wields the pen, the funds, and the brain" seems like a self-own worth sharing as well.
Also notable that Trump is playing the cowbell, which Christopher Walken so memorably turned into the most comical part of the song.
None of them actually respect Trump.

It seems that the decades-long mega-house trend is finally slowing down, which is great. Though I wonder how much of that new "smaller" housing stock is less expensive entry-level homes, vs downsizing in exclusive retirement communities for an aging population.
