Article from 24 years ago yesterday offers some clarity from back then, at least.
To answer OP's question, probably not, but it sounds pretty good. Way to keep it classy down there. Couple dead firefighters and one "fighting for his life," so it must be time to figure out who...
You win, I'm impressed.
I have a friend that thinks we should create an agentic AI trader with some niche strategy but I'm a little skeptical about handing over passwords to something that can...
That Tom Waits is strong even for Tom Waits.
This is not always the greatest song ever, but this year it might be:

I was curious if it's necessary to ask ChatGPT to include inane half-hearted ad homs about other posters in every response or if that just happens automatically when you say "write a response in the...
OK, the quality of insults finally convinced me.
Now I feel torn between being saddened at what we give up in terms of quality flame wars and impressed that agentic AI can not only use le TRGs...
I know you don't understand subtlety, so I'll spell out one last thing for you: IDGAF about tone and I see no value in turning against "autism" like the "R" word. I'm literally saying, in order to...
Not wrong. Also, now that there's a way for oligarchs to profit from it, the enemies leveraging the weaknesses of our open but (temporarily) binary-stable society are both foreign and domestic. See...
Like Bunion, I buy pants at Costco, so you do you.
In case there's a glimmer of intellectual curiosity, though, anyone still using autism as a pejorative may have a blind spot. It's a spectrum,...
It's funny that you should bring up the spectrum since I was just thinking maybe that's the issue. People further away from you tend to make more use of subtle language and it seems like you often...
The discussion was forward-looking, as is appropriate for this thread. I figured that went without saying, which was apparently my mistake, since now you're saying you think past events provide proof...
I don't think you know what I said about fighting the fed, but at any rate the fed hasn't unsuccessfully tried to cut rates yet so nothing has worked out either way. When they decide to lower them...
This is excellent news. I think you can trade on that if we do wind up in a low growth, high inflation scenario. Let's say about 9% inflation and 0.2% growth? You can just wait until growth ticks...
See if you can find a post about your mother's brother Robert and how good he was at regime change, aka how easy that is to do. Or don't. No one really cares.
The point is you can have both. Just as stagflation implies very minimal growth but high inflation, it's possible to go into slight shrinking with still high inflation, which is why a recession...
By this conversation you mean the topics people bring up in this thread? One wonders if one has read this thread.
FIFY
IANOD, but if there's an OCD coping tool that would help keep you more objective in the presence of deJong's posts it would benefit us all.
Russia talking about giving Iran a nuke is a lovely way to imply their dismay at American Imperialism and highlight the world's need for a multi-polar world where Russia can safeguard their interests...
GPS+inertial guidance is pretty good, but I'd guess the latter gets Real good when the bomb is that heavy, so GPS and coms to the aircraft would have to be jammed at a very high altitude to do any...
Countach-looking tail lights.
Your literacy seems to be running at about its usual average. Is that good for mid-day?
Seems about right. If it is intact they have at least 2 ways to take advantage and they might be quite pleased right now: Trump doesn't change light bulbs, he announces there's light and his...
Hopefully. If they're not we're in the worst case scenario, having proven that the bunkers can't be busted and our threat has no value a la post-2022 Russia. Another flight tonight would be a bad...
The IAEA not detecting any radiation releases may not be the good news we'd like it to be.
Arguing the inevitability of a clear danger while thinking congress couldn't be readily convinced by those arguments fails a very basic smell test.
You've already presented a bunch of evidence about how much WGU they might have and it didn't add up to "they already have enough for a bomb and it's presently located in one of these 3 locations."
You argue it was clear and do not even contend that it was present. It's And, not Or. The risk to the world of Iran getting a bomb is not trivial. The risk of the United States abandoning our...
They have a bomb and they are going to use it tomorrow or next week? The week after that? No. There's plenty of time for a willing congress.
So, again, the danger was that a threat would eventually exist, not that there was any present danger of an attack. Sounds like we agree this was not constitutional.
Present means the threat is so immediate that there is no time to consult congress before action must be taken right now to prevent an attack. Not to prevent the threat from moving closer to reality,...
Also different in that there has been a standing congressional justification (good or bad) for the GWOT and droning, while often a poor strategy with questionable effectiveness, had targeted the...
Because as clear as it might have been it was not present. Is not present. That's why it requires taking the minimal time needed to get congress to perform their constitutional duty and weigh in:...
If "this was not that" can you draw the line to show how unilateral bombing by executive order absent a clear and present danger of an attack on the US is constitutional?
This might turn out to be...
When cono thinks it's over history teaches us to be skeptical. Well, most of us.
I was feeling pretty optimistic about the limited nature until I read that. Feels like last week Wall Street "defeated volatility."
If the wounded snake still has its head it might decide that...
If Sun Tzu were in charge the fourth site would have been the Ayatollah's residence. Or W or Rumsfeld or Hillary or...at least in Iraq we targeted Saddam.
Bombs away.
You think it takes that long?
This thread could probably host a little over/under action. 4 might be a good spot to open.
So it's confirmed again that dog wagging works. Ok.
Point of order: the CIA was in the right side of WMD. So much so that the Cheney administration used "but his wife is CIA!" to discredit a dissenting voice. Remember Lewis "Scooter" Libby? That was...
Thanks for reminding me to get the shades up. The first heatwave was too brief to worry about but here go, apparently.
Self-preservation is the ultimate form of politeness and civic duty. Please don't let anyone's feelings about what makes you safe turn you into the asshole who gets killed because (s)he didn't want...
That's awesome to hear, I haven't hit that since the fire. Rode the local Mushroom trail last week and it reminded me a ton of Bernard.
HMS, I think I was originally looking for places along Lolo...
Thanks! It's obviously working super well, as should probably be expected when you park them in normal airplane parking spots by a big, obvious, runway that everyone can find on Google Maps.

Looks like another chance to practice taking out convoys.
Don't think of it as an attack on strategic assets, think of it as an attack on trucking. Like the shoe bomber and then the underwear bomber, the cost to defend against this will be even higher than...
It's as if you think the rest of humanity is in that Russian propaganda bubble with you. You don't even need to repeat their talking points because obviously everyone knows the pravda just like you....
Not far from your route there's a forgettable trail system on/around Bald Mountain near Potlatch. It's a waste of time made worse by recent logging, trail signs being reversed or just relocated by...
If you bought for a dead cat bounce, do you have a specific plan to get back out? It seems like trading on price action for that conflicts a little bit with holding it to increase exposure to...
