@LionBlogosphere @sentdefender Not if you don't get spare parts due to sanctions. Otherwise, the B-52 airframes have been around for over 60 years. The Marines still use a variation of the AH-1.

The Israeli Air Force has released footage showing several waves of strikes carried out this morning against a major helicopter base operated by the Iranian Army, located at Kermanshah International Airport in Western Iran, with the footage showing the targeting and destruction of at least 8 of the 9 AH-1J “SeaCobras/Toufan” Attack Helicopters that were purchased by Iran from the United States in 1971.

@PaulSkallas When I was growing up, there was a section for the horoscope in the morning paper. Self-reinforcing maybe. It's there because of demand, but it's going to get your attention because it's in the paper (pre-internet.)

@HolderOftheFire Don't leave money on the table. This is a negotiation and they are starting low. Ask $10 million and go from there. These people are filthy rich and have lost all touch with the peasant class. Their time is worth more than $5 million. This offer is an insult.

You can't be serious. I'll do it for 10k lol

One month, no internet, unlimited food. Can you Stay here for $5,000,000? Yes or No ?

@mattjay Doesn't make sense. They wouldn't have needed to set off the alarms if they had the accounts. They wouldn't be getting locked out for foreign access if they knew of those restrictions. This is complex stuff.

The most daming claim in this statement IMO:
Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created…
Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds.
Correct usernames and passwords.
2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.
English
🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.
He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

@Rainmaker1973 Is it safe to be feeding that thing with your bare hands?

@PovilasKorop I doubt this will have much effect. The issue with the plugin takeover could jolt developers, but that's not going to happen to your plugin.

My prediction about moving from WordPress.
Many people will shout loud "Let's run away from WP!!!"
Some will even try.
But then they will realize how much time/energy/money it would cost.
With adopting new tools that have OTHER problems than WP.
So WP will be ok.

@nic_carter @7Veritas4 Great answer. I’m not sure I know what OI means, though. Sorry for asking

Many of you are seeing large accounts pushing Polymarket betting odds on Twitter. Sample image attached.
A few things to know:
- Polymarket operates as an offshore predictive betting platform, outside the purview of US regulations.
- Polymarket's lead investor is Peter Thiel. Yes, Peter Thiel, JD Vance's mentor. ($70 million)
- Therefore it is no surprise Polymarket predictions are slanted in favor of Trump, while other competitor markets (e.g. Kalshi, PredictIt) favor Kamala Harris.
- They're part of the "Trump should have won" narrative on November 6th.

@nic_carter @7Veritas4 Yeah, I don't get it. I would LOVE for some whale to try to manipulate markets I'm interested in. I'll put every cent I can muster against that position.
English
@7Veritas4 Do you understand how the free market works
Like you know there’s over a billion of OI on this market so if you bet wrong you lose a lot of money
English
@ScottAdamsSays It make no sense to try manipulating betting markets. You're just creating profits for those taking the other side of the bet.

@MichaelRippe Adams is on the block and I hear willing to take a cut. And maybe willing to take a much larger cut to be on a team contending for SB. He must be miserable on the Raiders.

@shaneparrish The trouble I have... almost nobody is going to even understand your idea. If they seem to grasp it, they haven't thought about it as deeply as you have. And in my experience, people who can talk a good game about your idea still may not have the competence to engage with it.

@chigrl Minor nitpick, it's spelled "Wilful." Easier to search for. ;)

Canada: Read "Willful Blindness" by Sam Cooper if you have not. It is an eye opener.

@houmanhemmati @ChefGruel And they would get bought out by companies with good CEOs.
English
@ChefGruel Without an exceptional CEO, their net profit would be negative 2%!!!!!
English
This is dishonest and deceitful. He is using the term Gross Profit because it sounds like a lot to someone who doesn't understand a P&L. Gross Profit doesn't include rent, utilities, salaries, insurance, marketing, etc. Kroger's actual NET profit was around 2%. That means they make $.02 on every dollar they bring in. This is just more propaganda to trick people who don't understand business. As for the CEO pay, sure, it's probably excessive, but even if you removed the CEO altogether, their net profit would probably change .0000001%
Robert Reich@RBReich
Kroger: -Had gross profit margins above 20% over the last 5 years -Is using “dynamic pricing“ to gouge us further -Paid its CEO $15 million, 502x a typical Kroger employee -Wants to acquire Albertsons so you have nowhere else to shop Corporate greed at its absolute worst.

@paulserra @girdley @datarade Because they grew up with all those "for the price of one Starbucks coffee" articles.

@LWilsman60111 @karl_rominger @keithedwards And it's... Montana. Excluding Alaska, it's the 2nd least populated state in the "lower 48" after Wyoming. He could still get a good crowd there, but not like he would at Detroit Metro Airport.

@karl_rominger @keithedwards It was packed to the max. I live near Bozeman and my brother went to the rally. It’s really not worth your reputation to lie about things so easily debunked.

If you were at Kamala's Detroit rally I invite you to reply or QT this tweet with your pictures from it!
