Turtle. Or tortoise. Same word for both in German.

So you are fine with deliberate attacks on civilians, so long as they're Israeli civilians. That's really all I needed to know here. Bye.

Hamas did not lead any peace talks worth a damn and their "armed resistance" has only ever consisted of attacks on civilians, usually by firing missiles at settlements in unambiguously Israeli territory (attacking military installations or even settlements in the West Bank would've been at least somewhat defensible, but that's not what they've been doing) and then hiding behind their own civilian population to hinder Israeli retaliation, getting them killed in the process. They also did all that from Gaza, an area that Israel de-occupied after the Second Intifada, and which could have served as a positive example of peaceful Palestinian self-government and eventually independence instead of the opposite.

Hamas has set the Palestinian cause back by decades. They're important in the same way cancer is important to the human body.

Another issue was that Vista had very steep system requirements, which Microsoft deliberately understated. As a result it ran like shit on a ton of machines despite them technically meeting the requirements.

And it worked. Try finding any professional art/design jobs that don't use Adobe.

Usually Steam. I like the idea of GoG, but a lot of the time if you want mods you're basically forced to buy it on Steam because of the Workshop. Also, I kinda like having everything in one place.

Not in this context. Curious can have the same meaning as "kurios", as it does here.

The UFP has a currency - Federation Credits. The average citizen may not need (or even have) money, but it exists and is presumably accessible in some way if you have genuine need. For example the station personnel on DS9 never had issues paying at Quark's, so one can assume that they did get a salary because they were posted to a capitalist environment. I'd assume that child support would work on a similar "as needed" basis.

I don't think you can lump Endeavour and Garuda together. Yes, they're both based on Arch but Endeavours basically is Arch with a GUI installer and sane defaults while Garuda changes a ton of things and adds a ton of customisations that make it very different from a plain Arch (or Endeavour) system.

You mean that time when North Korea invaded South Korea? They weren't "caught lacking" they started the war.

They want women afraid. The doctors are just collateral damage. It's not about children and it never was (if they cared about cheap labour and disposable soldiers they'd embrace immigration instead), it's about controlling women.
