Oh dammit, I need a new rug but I saw this commercial 2 weeks ago so they're definitely closed for good already. Guess I'll find another shop!

I highly recommend Unexpected Keyboard for things like that. I still wouldn't want to do more though, it's just not a productive coding environment.

Yeah, to say the least. A year or so before the October 7th attack that sparked our country's intentional relations nosedive, there were massive country-wide protests, which I also participated in. You can probably find articles about it (Edit: Here's a Wikipedia article about it if you want a jumping-off point). It was protesting against certain anti-democratic things the government was doing (I don't want to get into the weeds here), but it was also fueled by unprecedented distrust of just about everyone in the government, and most of all Netanyahu. This distrust has only gotten worse.

That bastard should be in jail, but as "luck" would have it, he is always so preoccupied with all the wars he started that he can't attend his court trial where he faces serious criminal charges. What's that? Conflict of interest? He gains personal benefit from neverending war, so he has no incentive to actually end it (be it through diplomacy or through military victory)? Nah, I'm sure he has the country's best interests at heart.

That people keep voting for him astounds me. But we're seeing similar patterns worldwide, most obvious example being USA, so I guess this democracy thing is just failing all over the place this decade.

Speaking as an Israeli, I don't have an answer for you. But you're not alone. I and most of the people I know are in the same boat to various extents. That tends to happen with today's social-media-fueled political polarization.

What I try to say online (if it comes up and becomes a problem) is this is just where I was born. But to be honest, I find that most people worth talking to don't give a shit where you live. As one of them once told me in reply, you don't control your spawn point.

Gimbals might be free-spinning or driven by motors, it depends on what they're used for, what their purpose is. Either way though, they usually don't move all that much, it's just shown in animation for demonstration purposes. (And in sci-fi because it's cool.)

For example, there are camera gimbals which are designed to keep a mounted camera steady while the gimbal is held by a shaky human. In that case the gimbal only rotates as a counter-reaction to the rotation of the handheld part. If you have a steady hand, the gimbal would hardly move at all.

I should note that camera gimbals don't look like those fancy rings, but mechanically they do the same thing.

I can't tell you any more than that (frankly that's all I know), but since you seen interested you should take your time to read up on it and watch YouTube videos about it.

Yes, and it's generally a bad thing.
