58 YRS AGO, Lucille Ball made a daring choice. She took a bold risk on a show no other studio would touch. Her leap of faith gave the world Star Trek. It launched a franchise that would transcend time.

Hormuz never closed for Chinese, Russian, Pakistani and (of course) Iranian ships.

It is still closed for everyone else.

I believe a Chinese convey left recently. I don't know if that included any Chinese friends.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

It does matter.

At this increased rate of warming it means 2.5C above 1850 levels arrives by 2039 - that’s less than 14 years from now. Not 2100.

That’s an incredibly destructive climate to try and grow food in and live in.

Only 14 years away.

But there's a huge difference between the notional military capacity of the United States 'when roused,' as it were and the military capacity available to the President in a discretionary fashion (illegally) as here.

The latter is insufficient to hold down Iran unless you get *really* lucky.

I'd say a million men as a round number to conquer all of Iran. We'd have to basically double the size of the army.

So is where I feel the need to remind folks that the selective service system still exists.

But in practice, yeah. Super-lazy back-of-the-envelope, holding all of Iran might require c. 600,000 ground troops. (~3x our max Iraq deployment).

But you also need rotations, so 2x or 3x that.

The scene features a barren, sandy terrain with scattered rocks of varying sizes and shapes. The rocks, some jagged and others smooth, are dispersed across the surface, casting subtle shadows in the Martian light.

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An Iranian government agency says at least 1,230 people have been killed in the war.

I think the Iranians have been blowing up $1 billion of equipment each day.
