@ScottAkenhead @steve To me, the amazing thing is how stable Earth's temperature has been. Millions of years, never outside the range that can support carbon-water based life.
Perhaps this is one planet in billions. Perhaps any number of things could have made us like Mars or Venus. But we are like a gambler who has flipped a coin and it has come up heads 100 times in a row. If it had ever come up tails, we wouldn't be here thinking 100 heads in a row is normal.

@LALegault@newsie.social I can agree with most of that. But it talks about ending Hamas' control of Gaza. What if they held an election, and Hamas won again? Would they accept that result?
Will there come a point where a war by outside powers to liberate Gaza from Israel becomes acceptable?
