Does this soup kitchen sit on any land that could possibly be cultivated?

Both potatoes and “sunchokes” are famous for their relatively low maintenance and very high calories per acre

Impossible to say.

US/Israel have both backed down and escalated in response to Iranian deterrence. The rumor is the Israelis have complete control over what people and information reaches Trump. All three belligerents have reason to regard this conflict as existential.

It’s very complex and multi-layered, and it seems like they fired all the Cold Warriors who did all the deterrence game theory back in the day

Germans: whining about wanting their gold to be shipped back

French: quietly sell their US gold and buy in Europe directly

Once again direct action getting the goods

Their argument is that the big tech companies are allowing their AI to be used to help target Iran (which they obviously are). This would arguably make the data centers powering the AI a legitimate military target

Every time we think they have reached Peak Based they go higher

snek luv boot

I’m not much of a theorist but in usage, it seems like the former participates in building and upholding the system while the latter is bamboozled by and enamored with the system

No one can wrap (late but somehow still early) opportunism in a rousing speech like macron

Now the way is clear to send the 82nd airbourne on a suicide mission against Kharg island with no logistic support

I’m pretty sure the Alberta tar sands produce a very heavy crude. I think the fracking/shale produces a light sweet crude

They can’t even clear Gaza’s tunnels! Not with every advantage and the heaviest bombardment in human history

I think that’s what all the talk of Kharg island is about. They think they can retaliate asymmetrically against a softer target to force capitulation

I think they literally cannot open the strait by force. They would have to literally clear hundreds of square miles of underground facilities tunnel by tunnel - not only the mainland but also all 7 Iranian islands in the strait. They can’t miss even a single one and they have to have enough troops to hold everything they captured to resist constant infiltration from entrances and tunnels they didn’t even know about

Spacebro and former Apple engineer Scott Manley implies in one of his videos that Apple jumped through some hoops to certify their mobile devices for spaceflight

You just can’t write comedy this good

The year is 1945 2027 and it’s a mad dash to the Nazi capitol to prevent those dirty Russians from being the sole captors and thus being free to ask some very uncomfortable questions.

Also how can the western powers possibly run NATO and develop aerospace technology without pardoned nazis-in-exile?

It’s made out of healthcare

I told them, I said “I never wanted that dumb Uranium anyway.” And they said “But Mr. President!-” No Butts! We already won the war! MAGA!

confirmed, this bit is still hilarious
