I really wish "legal experts" hadn't screamed bloody murder about every little thing Trump did, so they could speak with authority now that he's actually committing war crimes.

@VirtualElena @samkkaufman @GarettJones @elocinationn Definitely in a restaurant gap relationship, but I have the money, they have the booze, and it makes her happy, so pass the finger bowl or whatever.

sure NYT I believe that a “restaurant gap relationship” is not only a real thing but that a phenomenon that has only emerged in the past 5-10 years wrought by opportunistic opentable scrapers, private dining clubs, credit card points, concierge services, and nyc’s increasingly competitive restaurant scene is in fact “the ultimate test of compatibility”

@ReubenR80027912 So they needed fixed-wing to support the rotary-wing, I suppose?

-At airstrip (again built in 48hrs INSIDE a hostile country) planes can’t take off
-A NEW set of planes fly in, scoop up pilot and ex filtration team
-Once airborne, drop 20 bombs on our own planes so they can’t be re-engineered
-100s of Iranians dead, all US personnel alive
English
To summarize last 72 hrs:
-Russia smuggles in anti-air systems to Iran. Iran then shots down a plane whose 1st flight was before I was born
-US flies slow moving rescue planes into the *middle* of Iran & retrieves 1 pilot
-Simultaneously, we *built an airstrip inside Iran* 🧵

Location of the USAF forward base set up deep within Iran for the F-15 crew rescue mission. The base was set up just outside of Isfahan, a critical Iranian strategic hub with missile and army bases, nuclear facilities, and the airbase home to Iran’s F-14 fleet.

@MohammadsRadio @kcanon99 @IMAO_ Well, fine, that's retarded - fair enough! It's just that living through 100 conspiracies turning into facts tends to drive one a little nuts.
English
@TungstenBlock @kcanon99 @IMAO_ Of course not all conspiracies are of the same magnitude. This thread started with the allegation that Artemis wasn’t really going to the moon, requiring the obeisance of 1000’s of co-conspirators. In this case, respecting human nature, yes it is fake.
English
You can prove the moon landing without talking any about the evidence of it but simply by talking about the implausibility of a conspiracy to fake it.
For one, are we supposed to believe that weird-smelling basement-dwellers are able to see it as obviously fake but the Soviets, who had the most knowledge and most motivation to expose it as a fraud, were fooled by it? Or was America’s greatest enemy in on the conspiracy?
And that’s a fraction of the problem with the conspiracy narrative.

@texual @Chris_arnade Maybe so, but it's certainly a choice in some respects.

@TungstenBlock @Chris_arnade All those measures are probably impossible to achieve at this stage.

I love the US, and NYC, but coming back from five weeks in Japan/Korea can be so demoralizing.
The E train from Jamaica to Port Authority was a mess. Filthy, depressing, and a minefield of possible problems. The car I was in had at least six guys in various states of distress. I sat next to one, a clearly mentally compromised man, muttering to himself, who made it clear he didn't like me being so close, but I bet he wasn't having a bad day.
He wasn't because he was drugged into lethargy, but you never really can tell, and you always risk a miscalculation.
I'm a pretty large guy and I've spent a lot of time around people like this, so I wasn't worried, but I felt bad for the women on there, some with kids, who have to play a far riskier game when riding the subway.
Sure, the odds of something bad happening are small, but they should be zero, and they could be, if we only enforced the rules.

@SaysSimulation They're always surprised when the "soft" Westerners are harder than they are. This applies domestically too BTW.
English
There's a very dark, but fascinating symmetry in play here. Iran is trying to take down the world economy to punish America. They are willing to kill many millions of people with the resulting food shortages.
So, Trump responds to that leverage harming Iran worse than

BREAKING: Iranian Army warns of "massive historic surprise" tonight that the "world will remember for centuries."

@MohammadsRadio @kcanon99 @IMAO_ So basically any conspiracy that hasn't been revealed yet is fake because no one has talked...yet? Sounds logically circular to me. It's like saying "crime never pays" because you don't know about crime that did.

Former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak drove 900 miles non-stop to confront her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend, reportedly wearing adult diapers to avoid bathroom breaks.
Armed with a knife, a BB gun, and trash bags, she attacked the woman in a parking lot but was arrested before she could cause serious harm.

@ArtemisConsort Except the money is stolen and many of the people involved are actual criminals. Call it what it is.

Mental health crisis. We CANNOT fix a lot of the chronic stuff you are seeing on the trains, for long. Trust me.

@feelsdesperate 80s was worse ( I was there) but we had more effective law enforcement and judges who locked up perpetrators. If we decline to the social level of the 1980s with these Soros clowns in charge of justice, Katie bar the door.

My father had to take the E train deep into Queens every day for work temporarily a few years ago.
He said that there were psychotics or passed out drug addicts on every subway car.
He’s a veteran of ‘80s NYC so it says a lot that he was taken aback by the degree to which this important arterial transportation line had been give over to unwell people.
Thankfully he only had to do it for 3-4 months but this type of stuff is a huge quality of life downgrade for working class people who often have long daily commutes on the subway.

@MohammadsRadio @kcanon99 @IMAO_ If you're interested in a really wide-ranging conspiracy look at LIBOR-fixing. Most people involved with fixed-income knew about it (10s of thousands) but no one said anything.

@SandyofCthulhu We had the porch behind the school - shelter from rain, but not cold/heat. Probably depended where you were. Duluth probably had indoor shelter.

I attended high school 1970-73 and unless things changed a LOT over the next decade this is untrue.
You smoked out back of the school or in the parking lot. Never inside.

@youmediv @ArtemisConsort The difference is 100- 79.2 or 20.8 pct. The fins are 79.2% of their original size.

@TungstenBlock @ArtemisConsort I didn't.
1. Your math is wrong. The difference is 79%. (333^4)/(353^4) = 0.792...
2. Elon showed image of space data center in terafab announcement specifically mentioning everything *including radiators* is to scale
English
It’s hilarious how proud of themselves people are for noticing the very first thing anyone would notice about space data centers. I too had the thought “what about cooling” the first time I saw the idea, then I saw huge companies betting on it and assumed I was missing something rather than that no one at SpaceX etc had the BRILLIANCE I had to notice this obvious phys 101 objection, because I’m not a moron.
And yeah, turns out you can make radiators work.

@Okitwist @ArtemisConsort My perspective is that he says things that are wrong a lot and maybe this is one of them.
English
These are two separate issues . Predicting the timeline on things that have never been done is by nature uncertain . People get hung up on the miss timelines that Elon gives although he always qualifies that are the current projections . I would be more worried if Elon promised things that they aren’t actively working on . The fact that they are in the trench working on all these things gives hope that a solution is likely to be found in all of these projects . People 30 years from now won’t care that Robotaxi was 5 years late or starship didn’t work right away , they will be happy that people worked on these issues and brought these things to life . It’s all about perspective
