An ABC journalist was fired from her job for publishing a report confirming Israel's use of starvation as a weapon in Gaza. In court, the judge ruled that her dismissal was illegal.

In her victory speech, she said: 'Since 2023 until now, Israel has been using hunger as a weapon against civilians, and this is a deliberate and intentional use of starvation against people.

Day after T-Mobile service was paid on my +10-year-old account & number... Cancelled with NO explanation.
Number to call for more info in the cancellation email was for an automated signup for medical alert device.
They know senior citizens losing phone service gives them heart attack.

I just installed a Kibi valve cover gasket on a Mazda 1.5 in a Yaris IA, which is really a Mazda 2 made in Mexico.

The pics of this gasket are wrong on most sites, as well as 3 different part numbers. Very confusing. I thought the gasket for 1.5 in 2016 Scion or 2014 Mazda 2 would work but it's not the same. Turns out the 2017 1.5 in the Yaris IA, uses the gasket for 2017 Mazda 3 with 2.0.

The rubber on the car is high quality, the OEM lasted 196k miles. The back half of the gasket was cracked and brittle being closer to the exhaust while the other side is still flexible.

The Kibi fit perfectly, sealed equally well. Hope it lasts as long as the OEM.

China is not just sitting back and watching the US implode, they're making a quick buck flipping US sourced LNG that they buy practically at cost, using the convenient excuse that a 25% tariff is too much. Anything to help take LNG out of circulation in the US, keeping US transportation dependent on the most inefficient and dirty, fossil fuel and allowing the US to continue, slowly killing themselves with diesel

US practically LNG sells at cost for export to sabotage natural gas adoption by US transporters, wanting a cheaper, cleaner fuel than dirty, old diesel, and need more LNG infrastructure to phase out the worst of fossil fuels.

But it's the profitable oil refining business that keeps everything the same with stranglehold on energy, sucking US dollars into another middle east quagmire, again.

The best part on US domestic natural gas used in the US exclusively is saving money sent to protect OPEC oil, one trillion dollars over the last 20 years.

Other benefits of natural gas include no need for refining which cuts out half on the cost of diesel, highest in octane, most efficient and natural gas abundance, altogether makes it by far, the cheapest way to move freight.

And no diesel smoke or smell.

Natural gas is considered the most fuel-efficient fossil fuel, with efficiency rates reaching up to 60%, diesel efficiency rates ranging from 30% to 38%, which is also lower than that of natural gas.

Chinese buyers that received the first U.S. LNG cargo in over a year plan to resell it on another market to profit from higher prices elsewhere and avoid paying a 25% tariff, sources familiar with the plans told Bloomberg on Monday.

The Yangpu port in south China earlier this month received a cargo of U.S. LNG from the Plaquemines LNG export terminal operated by Venture Global in Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish. This was the first U.S. shipment of gas to China in more than a year. But the gas was offloaded into bonded storage, without being actually imported into China, because the buyer would have paid a 25% tariff on the cargo.

The cargo was bought with the intention to resell for higher prices at a non-Chinese market, according to Bloomberg’s sources.

An empty tanker has recently docked at Yangpu, likely to load the gas for re-export, vessel-tracking data monitored by Bloomberg showed.

The move suggests that China is not so starved of LNG as to be willing to pay the 25% tariff to resume importing U.S. liquefied natural gas.

Despite the Middle East war that has been choking Qatari and UAE exports for five months now, China’s LNG imports have rebounded in recent weeks amid higher seasonal demand.

China raised its liquefied natural gas imports for a second month in a row in June as the world’s top LNG buyer prepares for peak summer power demand.

The "rapid test" that was proven to be inaccurate is only for quick assessments.
If the FDA could show slides of the microscopic cyclospora organism, taken from lettuce live on camera for authentication, they would have done it.

There is no test that is as accurate, or more conclusive than identifying live samples of these protozoans, which should be no problem if they exist in quantities enough to cause an outbreak.

The fact that we're seeing so little actual scientific evidence which is nothing more complex than what school kids do in a science class every day, speaks volumes.
