Wearing combat helmets and protective vests, some of the US’s most popular right-wing creators toured what they called an aid distribution hub in Gaza late last month—a trip carefully funded by Israel’s foreign ministry. By way of the nonprofit Israel365, the Israeli government funneled at least $70,000 to 15 MAGA creators to bring them to Gaza’s humanitarian sites, the Western Wall, and the Golan Heights, among other areas. “It sits here to spoil and be stolen,” Xaviaer DuRousseau captioned a

Tesla is updating its utility-scale Megapack batteries as it seeks to stem the decline of its lucrative energy storage business. The new battery product known as Megapack 3, which Tesla revealed late Monday, are a bid to lure utilities and data center developers that are desperate for power.

How can England possibly be running out of water?

news.ycombinator.com Helena Horton 2025-10-08 20:22:35

During the drought of 2022, London came perilously close to running out of water. Water companies and the government prayed desperately for rain as reservoirs ran low and the groundwater was slowly drained off. Contingency plans were drafted to ban businesses from using water; hotel swimming pools would have been drained, ponds allowed to dry up, offices to go uncleaned. If the lack of rainfall had continued for another year, it was possible that taps could have run dry. That, however, was jus
