The second one is more like what the original razed 17th century mosque looked like. Deng was the one who gave orders to open fire in Shadian, he's not good guy liberal here. Mao's strategy was to yell at people to be atheist. Deng's strategy was a religious red light district. Keep it alienated from secular society, make the mosques look like they were air-dropped from Saudi Arabia instead of having been there for 500 years, and give people the choice to be religious or Chinese but not both.

Starting before Xi China realized that wasn't working, especially in Xinjiang, so the new strategy was to integrate. That means less of Deng's "laugh at this weird foreign religion" architecture and more of "respect China's history of patriots who are Chinese first and Muslim second."

"Other devices" means manually-emplaced munitions and devices including improvised explosive devices designed to kill, injure or damage and which are actuated manually, by remote control or automatically after a lapse of time.

It is prohibited to use booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material.

"Booby traps and other devices" is one legal thing, there's no legal distinction. Pager bombs are always a war crime regardless of circumstances.

From a liberal perspective what's the difference between MLs having "critical support" for the Soviets or China and anarchists celebrating historical anarchists like Makhno and the CNT-FAI who burned churches and killed kulaks too? If anarchists are online supporting US foreign policy then liberals can assume you're just a liberal and any claimed anarchism is just larping, but if anybody throws a brick through a Starbucks window that's tankie authoritarianism stealing rights and freedoms from the Starbucks shareholders.

Tankie was coined by trotskyists to insult a slightly different kind of Leninist. Then anarchists picked it up and started calling trotskyists tankies. Now liberals call anarchists tankies. It's the circle of life, in a few years if you say tankie people will assume you're talking about Kamala Harris.

SpaceX has a regular scheduled launch that's been sitting around delayed waiting for Starliner to leave the ISS, so kicking two people off it and replacing them with the Starliner crew is convenient and minimizes the schedule disruption.

Soyuz only has three seats and launching a Soyuz with only one crew or empty is something Russia hasn't done since the 60s and would be more work.

I think you're thinking of Xiaomi, Louis Rossman did a video assuming they were doing Apple-style serialization but all it was doing was blocking installation of self-driving if the headlights weren't standard. It wasn't DRMing brake pads or preventing buying headlights from a junkyard, there was a functional reason.

In desktop Firefox new cookies are being set to expire in 3023, and going into inspect and setting the cookie to a shorter expiration fixes it. In Chrome long cookies are auto shortened to 400 days.

For me the jwt login cookie is being set to expire in 3023, I edited it to 2026 and it works

Even if you like the bot you should be downvoting it because that puts it in a predictable spot: at the bottom, without getting in the way of real comments.

They don't treat launch water, it runs off into the wetlands through open ditches. The SRBs that the Shuttle and SLS use are 100-ton bricks of perchlorates that contaminate and acidify water for miles every time there's a launch, so treating the direct runoff is deck chairs on the Titanic. Kennedy Space Center is already a Superfund site, so they focus on things like underwater fencing to stop KSC fish full of teflon and cadmium from being eaten by normal fish.
