Had to do some bike mechanics yesterday, first time in about 9 months; surprisingly everything worked out well.  :hmm:

Also anyone else find if they spend hours doing something requiring fine  motor skills and associated reasoning, the next day one is often quite clumsy?

Does anyone know what the fuck the Israelis are doing?  They evicted Palestinians from some apartments that were owned by Jews 70 years ago and now people are shooting rockets at each other.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They are being assholes as usual I presume.

I don't know what strategic advantage there is to be gained by supporting them to the extent that we do.

Raiding Al-Aqsa Mosque at the end of Ramadan also didn't go down well, it seems.

I'm willing to cut Israel loose.  Treat them like any other dickheaded Middle Eastern sect.  Treat them like the Maronites.

Catriona Shearer, a newscaster is leaving BBC Scotland - which has prompted lots of people to share her (and Scotland's) greatest minute of TV:

So, Israel.

Is it the "usual" flare up that happens every couple years? Or is it more serious this time? I've read through a bunch of articles and my take-away so far is "It's a complicated mess and neither side is looking good in this." :unsure:

Yeah it feels more serious because of the riots and clashes in mixed Jewish and Arab towns in Israel.

It certainly looks serious.
