Different theory: Irans regime is secure without nukes. It’s geography, propaganda and policing. Foreign air superiority, decapitation strikes, still no political change. They’re entrenched.

Nukes are just another tool for them - negotiable, hence the JCPOA. Rebuilding possible but not certain.

It’s palantir and their shitty ai right? Not for the activists obviously but for the seemingly random arrests of people with legal status

Well if they reduce the economic value of college degrees that might bend two of the red lines. Housing takes lots of tradeable inputs though, and kicking out every roofer and drywaller isn’t going to help.

Yeah this immediately gave me the feel of wax and tepid water

Blaming others for failing to restrain them is the post-2016 GOP line

The paper attributes falling vaccination rates to availability of non-medical exemptions broadly. I didn’t see any discussion of WI in particular. WI immunization laws does allow philosophical exemption, maybe that’s it?

Gut feeling is I don’t believe the map for WI, but I didn’t survey anyone so 🤷‍♂️

OK but if everyone accepted my account of evil and did their utmost to destroy it, every problem really would go away

Same, mini forever

The tweenagers in my life always comment because it’s the smallest phone they’ve ever seen

nobody makes smartphones in the original size anymore - if you have a mini it’s irreplaceable

Instead of aid, Trump’s gift to the world is the opportunity to look good standing up to a bully

In the past we would’ve called this the honeymoon period but that’s nowhere near depraved enough

orgiastic ring-kissing?
the great prostration?
the 120 days of trump?

Anyway, yeah, soon enough there will be new frictions and conflicts and we’ll see who the resistance turns out to be

Unfortunately the liquid hydrogen fuels are not environmentally friendly, either. By far the most common source of hydrogen gas is steam methane reforming.

So what’s happening to all this surplus that isn’t reaching grocery stores? Are the producers just losing tons of money and not taking any action?
