Pretty sure when I counted, the numbers were off. Not even 13 people in the supposed last supper shot.

Every 4 years.

This probably factors into the resurgence of vinyl.

I've had several brands. I'm sure none were privacy respecting. But beyond that they're all crap. They all break down and end up requiring near constant maintenance. They also don't do a very good job of vacuuming.

Better off getting a half decent vacuum (extra points if it uses bags because.... Bagless is fucking stupid) and for little clean up jobs get a manual sweeper like some restaurants use.

Yes that's a concern with all of them, Apple TV included.

Not sure if it's a factor for you but roku tries to phone home a lot more than anything else on my network (or perhaps my firewall just catches it more than other devices and apps). Otherwise roku is pretty good.

Nvidia shield tv is better though. It's the best set top box. Made even better by replacing the default launcher/ home screen (android TV default launcher now has 2/3 or more of the screen taken up by ads or "recommended content" which is just ads).

Big.

Absolutely agree

Feels like what happened with android tv.

Destiny 2 right? They've had BattlEye on there for quite a while now. Kinda sucks but there's no way around it.

WW I was over a hundred years ago. My point stands that only considering 15 years is a very myopic view on the region.

Can THIS conflict he traced back to biblical times? (By the way, it may even be selling yourself short to stop at Moses... but that leads to the question of how back do you draw the line of relevance...) no of course not. Realistically, while I'm inclined to look back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, there's no one alive today that was alive at that time. 1 or 2 generations later can you expect everyone to forget the events of the past? Maybe not.

It's a really classic example (maybe THE classic example) of violence begetting violence. Unfortunately the violent tendencies and hatred are institutionalized. It's clearly not an easy problem to solve, but I'm fairly certain that violent terrorist attacks against civilians is not in the running for a solution.

EDIT: just to add, going back a thousand years takes us to the time of the crusades, during and after which there were Arab attacks driving out non-arabs... and Arab attacks against other Arab factions (not blind to the fact that all Arabs are not a monolithic group).

Going back a little further you have a history of violence and discrimination against the Jews and Arabs (and pagans and other people) by the Roman's. You can see how hard it is to find a stopping point in the history of violence in the region.

So yes while the CURRENT conflict probably only tracks back a hundred or so years, the history of conflict in general in the region goes back thousands of years (probably 4 thousand years but im not sure there are even stories, much less even somewhat reliable historical accounts that go back much further than that).
