When a particle decays and spits off some alpha radiation why doesnt it take with it some of the electrons from its parent particle? I would expect the electrons to "stick" to the helium nucleus and travel with it.

I am guessing it is a matter of moment. The alpha particle flys off at such speed the resting moment of the electrons may make it so they cant follow it... but considering that electrons arent at "rest" and that they have very very little mass I question myself on this answer.

@freepeoplesfreepress Thats wonderful to hear. I'm glad I provide you some enrichment. You too are always a pleasure to hear from.

@johnshirley2024@wandering.shop

There is absolutely no doubt Hamas, like Israel, is a terrorist group... just two terrorists fighting with each other committing war crimes back and forth and then being shocked the other side committed a war crime.

What do you mean "who knows"... Israel has been quite public about the fact that it walls in palestinians with no resources or room to grow then shuts off their water and electricity for months on end... We know for a **fact** tons of palestinians were killed through these actions and its something they have done continually even during times of peace.

During the full 2 years I was there the electricity and warer were intentionally turned off to huge portions. They admit to this publicly, they threaten with this constantly, and do it constantly.

Its not about sacraficing lives... its a bit more nuanced than that.

When they simply keep their installations underground and in civilian populations this, in and of itself, is perfectly normal and accepted gorilla warfare. Its also in many cases (not all) with the blessing of the civilians I suspect. Jews did this during WWII (hiding stashes of weapons in civilian locations) and generally operated covertly and hiding among civlians... all of this is fine.

Where it becomes an issue is when they are actively firing from a location and use children or ciuvilians as shields by not allowing them to leave the zone of fire. This is where it becomes very very wrong... and sadly this is also on par with what israel does where they have been caught using children from palestine as human shields also.

@Miriamm @ech @kjetil_kilhavn

@freepeoplesfreepress Wonderful, thank you... no promises I dont misplace them though :)

@ech

> They didn’t “come with” weapons – what on earth are you talking about?

Of course they came with weapons.. what are YOU on about? On may 1947 they and a group of other nations decided to invade palestine and take the land from palestinians and give it to the Israelis. They came with weapons to take this land for themselves and the first Arab-israeli war began for the palestinians to defend their land and prevent the invasion and annexing of their land. This lasted from 1947 to 1849

> They organized armed security and military capabilities in response to the violence they experienced and so on.

The violence they expiernce from invading the country and taking it... please stop pretending they are the victims here... they literally were invading Palestine and taking it.. they just decalred one day half the country was theirs and then went in and took it.... funny how you just ignore that part and make it sound like they were just palestinian immigrants... they werent.

> what are you even talking about

I am talking about the fact that since Israel is an occupyign and invading force, and it is not and never was their land (it is palestine)... they are illegal immigrants by any measure of that at best, and an occupying force at worst.

> No, they should not build their military headquarters and storage in civilian buildings. You know, like any civilized nation would do.

They are using the exact same tactics in that regard as freedom fighters dduring WWII, and really any nation being occupied and unable to have a proper army.. That is, their military and its equipment are hidden in the underground... Again nothing wrong with that, what is wrong is when they use human shields during an active attack, somethign Israel also does.

@diazona I dont think I can even get **started** until I have at least 15 tabs open :)

@realcaseyrollins

No not what I said, or at least not what I intended to say.

They generally integrate with the population for gurilla reasons.. when they "operate" out of a location with civilians its just wrong if they dont let the civilians evacuate (which has happened, israel has done the same).

The reason is, yes, because they cant build military installations. That isnt a reason to use civilians as shields, but it is a reaason to hold their operations in civilian meeting spaces.

As a reminder this aspect is quite common among gurilla warfare, for the "freedom fighters" to have meetings and gather in secret among civilians. Where it becomes wrong is if they launch attacks and use civilians as shields.

Now to the point of why they do this, yes, it goes back to what I said if they walk out to a field and try to build a military building then israel will just bomb it and kill them all off before they even have a chance. They certainly are under no obligation to commit suicide either.

@Miriamm @ech @kjetil_kilhavn

@diazona

To me with someone who tends to have 100+ tabs open lack of tab management is completely unworkable.

I tried various approches like using multiple windows with extensions to switch between them... all the solutions were buggy to the point of being unusable.

@ech @realcaseyrollins

Wha? It is absolutely not the case that they have no choice but to have military installations in the same buildings as hospitals/schools/residences.

There is a huge difference between a military installation and hamas simply being present. As we covered with both sides using human shields I am not claiming there arent instances of them doing just that, using human shields, as Israel has on multiple occasions. What I am saying is in the overwhelming majority of cases they bomb civilian locations simply because hamas are present at all, even when they are not using it for military purposes.

> You seem to be under the impression that Gaza is completely covered, every square inch, in civilian buildings? This is, *of course*, not the case.

So they all have to stand in an open field where the inevitable result is a few bombs to whipe them out in a matter of a seconds? When people fight for their freedom (and im not saying these guys arent terrorists), it is not unheard of for them to integrate with civilians in an attempt to be covert, when your on the loosing side this particular aspect is to be expected.. its only when they use people as human shields by actively attacking from a location without letting the civilians leave that it becomes an issue (something both sides are guilty of).

@Miriamm @kjetil_kilhavn

@ech

> "if that was the case they would have immigrated to Palestine and integrated" Why in the world would you think that? I mean, that would have been great, I guess, and it happened to some extent, *of course*. But the groups maintain their identities/religions/etc as they always have; I think to a large extent groups lived in separate towns, etc.

Because your trying to make the absurd claim they arent invaders, just immigrants... immigrants dont come with bombs and guns to take away your land, thats not immigrants, thats invaders, also called an occupying force.

As with any diverse country prior to the invasion there were a great many mixed settlements, and there were some that were primarily jewish or arab.. However the arabs in the area out numbered Jews 10:1, palestine had this makeup for many generations. Despite the overwhelming arab concentration jews were generally welcomed and even allowed to buy land... until they started invading anyway.

> "illegal immigrants" I don't think it was illegal, generally, was it? Why do you say that?

Depends how you view illegal. Early on they werent illegal, but at this point the overwhelming majority of ISraelis are illegal immigrants according to the people/governance who have the right to control that land (palestinians).

> I suggest you don't know what you're talking about here? This seems like the other day when you claimed there was never a nation called "Israel" before 1940s?

I misinterprited what experts had said on a reading.. when challenged I reread and changed my opinion... Perhaps you should use that to recognize that I am willing to consider counter evidence and easily change my views when proven wrong.. Would go a much longer way than using it as a weapon against someone simply for making a mistake, and learning from it once. Should be proof that I wont continue to assert a thing if there is evidence to the contrary.

> Again: none of this has anything, at all, whatsoever, to do with whether Israel is justified in the manner in which it is prosecuting this war against Hamas, or other punitive things it does like bulldozing suicide bombers' houses, or whether or not it is being negligent in policing settler violence, or, even whether the Arab invasions and continued rocket attacks justify the sea blockades of Gaza, etc, etc, etc.

Ummm, who is the invading and occupying force has **everything** to do with if ISrael or anyone else has a right to continue a war... like a lot to do with it.

The fact that botht he Hamas and Isrtael are committing atrocities and war crimes left and right, and have been doing so for 80 years certainly doesnt give anyone a pass for their continuation of such war crimes.

@kjetil_kilhavn @niclas @Miriamm @samuraikid

@trinsec I am all for trying it out at some point.

Chrome has the advantage in terms of support and out of their 30 or so extensions on one did what I wanted (automatically generate tab groups based on rules)... so id be pretty impressed if they cover that as a smaller entity.

Tab groups are nice but its only half the equation... being able to bring up collections of tabs and have them automatically grouped wills ave me a lot of time in terms of productivity.

@trinsec Breifly... it threw errors when i tried to run it and i didnt have time to investigate what was up.
