Right, that was the number I had in my head... and that's for the whole war. This guy apparently believes 300k were killed in the first month, but I have no idea where that's comin…

> You're arguing that if a country is attacked, it's ok to kill civilians that are unrelated to the attack? How on earth did you get that from my comment? Can you think of a more c…

300,000? Can you cite something for that? Edit to add: Also, Israel was actually attacked, and civilians were raped, kidnapped, and murdered. Did any of the protestors in Iran kill…

Yes, I have one big beancount file tracking everything back to 2014. I use fava for visualization and git for history/backup. I've occasionally gone back and split or moved account…

LOL, bullshit. If you really think you have something, email it to me.
