General Discussion, Monday, October 7, 2024

On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a massive terror onslaught against Israel, with over 3,000 terrorists crossing the border by land, air, and sea. The attack resulted in the loss of nearly 1,200 lives, most of whom were civilians, and the capture of 253 hostages.

The United Nations has omitted October 7 from its International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism, sparking controversy and criticism. However, various events and ceremonies have been organized around the world, including in New York City, to recognize the victims and their families.

In New York City, several events have been organized to recognize the October 7 terror attacks, including:

  • A candlelight vigil and prayers at Times Square
  • A community-wide commemoration at Temple Emanu-El
  • A panel discussion on resilience, unity, and strength hosted by Batsheva Women

We honor the memories of the victims and their families, and pay tribute to the bravery and strength of the Israeli people in the face of adversity.

    Good mornin’, and Happy Monday kids. It is a rather somber day today. It’s hard to believe that it was a year ago that unspeakable horror occurred in Israel. Today’s model looks like it might fit right in at state operated facility where they like to keep track of their folks, IYKWIM. Carpe your coffee!

    can somebody tell me who they get to type the closed captions? just read what the weather girl was supposed to have said. “can you handle a sturgeon of 10 to 12 feet.” they actually typed in “sturgeon” instead of “storm surge” several times other than that.

      I think it’s A.I. Think of everything we have to look forward to.

      I remember when they first had voice recognition systems in place of humans on telephone systems. I made a call to my bank and spoke my account number. The ‘system’ repeated to me what it thought I said, but it wasn’t what I said. I gave up after three or four attempts.

        About half the time ours types ā€œeye three tenā€ instead of I-310. You’d think they could give the computer a list of odd spellings, local towns and roads.

    I made spare ribs tonight cooked with the last of my homemade sauerkraut. Really delicious. I’m certainly going to make more sauerkraut to keep in the refrigerator. It was a success.
