My headline: New York Times claims "Disingenuous Attacks" over weak coverage of strike on Iranian school that lacked follow up investigation, while Israeli news media Hareetz provides reports from US officials implicating US responsibility.

Guessing this also is operating cost/spent weapons, not destroyed equipment... The AN/FPS-132 radar destroyed in Qatar is > 1.1 B alone.

That, is the correct resource. Could use a lot of updates, but stands the test of time.

With Trump's comment "First we'll finish off Iran - and then the Cuba issue is just a question of time." should have alarm bells ringing for every sane world leader. If we are 3rd, 4th, or 5th on his list, I hope no one "reluctantly agrees the US needs to defend itself"

Thank you for the advice! Downloading on Steam now (just FF II so far, the bundle is $$$)

US releases - sadly, never got the actual 2 & 3, couldn't even find for emulator when I looked years after

So not wanting to wage foreign wars implies you support the dictator... then we should attack Russia as well? Or is Putin not a Dictator according to shit-for-brains? I don't know a single Conservative that would support Canadian involvement in any of these... why the fuck do the prop up this idiot?

Chrono Trigger and FF 1-3 were the peak of fantasy adventure games imo. Lots of great games since, but I've yet to enjoy any game quite as much.

My comment yesterday stands - "Pawns to draw out ground forces. As many Kurds will die from Israel/US "air support" as are killed by IRGC and Iran Army." the Kurds are as disposable to Trump in this war as they were in Syria.

Accepting the US's claim of Special Operation is no different than accepting Putin's claim of a Special Operation. I honestly haven't looked at CBC at all. Al Jazeera, BBC, and Haaretz are what I use to cross reference what I see from SM.

Installed Ubuntu on home computer 3 weeks ago. 30 years of thinking it might be a pain in the ass, and I am only kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I can't fathom paying for an OS at all anymore, let alone subscribing to one.

I recall my first time landing there, and the train to York. I honestly wasn't sure I would make it! Although that is more a comment on Northern Rail than Manchester.

People think he is using "imminent" incorrectly, but he is not - when you realize the "us" in his sentence is referring to the country he is representing...

Just signed, encourage others to do so. There is no place for unilateral attacks on sovereign countries in a decent world. The rule of law must be respected.

Of course the Ayatollah was having breakfast, in daylight, with his family in the middle Ramadan. Fucking ham and eggs was it? I can't imagine being an American and having to listen to the stupidest man alive on a daily basis.

If you are a business or contractor in the US, be sure to check state laws first, because although it is legal to boycott any US company, boycotting an Israeli company is illegal in 35 states. This may sound made up, but I couldn't make up anything this stupid even if I had tide pods for breakfast.

Unless the person on the left was a random person taken off the street, can they please be fired? JFC no one with a >6th grade education needs this answered for them. "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" would have been smarter to ask.

They are predominantly different branches of Islam (Iran is Shia, Pakistan is Sunni), but I'm not certain that is the crux of it - Ali Khamenei delivered a fatwa against nuclear weapons (actually any weapon of mass destruction) in the 90's. This does not prevent nuclear "readiness" if threatened.

Election results - Parliamentary Gorton and Denton by-election - 26 February 2026 | Manchester City Council Results for local and parliament elections and referendums in Manchester

I don't know - found the results page here, not populated yet of course. So I was only rewarded with learning that the The Official Monster Raving Looney Party is running the candidate "Sir Oink A-lot". Hilarious, but if he splits the left, roast the porker. www.manchester.gov.uk/directory_re...

Idea for him - grab a guitar, and set up under the window of all his former MP's and serenade them with his ideas. If they come back, tell us, if they don't, he can shut the fuck up and find a new job.

Iran Watch Tracking Iran's Unconventional Weapon Capabilities

It is largely a matter of the quality and quantity of centrifuges. If you've made maple syrup (or moonshine), the non-linear progression is similar, centrifuges are like the boilers. Iranwatch.org has a ton of information on their capability. @~800 SWU per ton for 0->3%, would take 100 IR6's a year.

Ahh yes, after the bitterest cold, just before the smell of thawed dogshit wafts up from lawns and sidewalks, the great harbinger of spring emerges from it's drive through window and cries out "Reessayez SVP"

I PROMISE you will menstruate for free for the next ten years if you do this. Sadly, I cannot promise to pay the legal fees and other costs though...
