@HayekAndKeynes This is an idiotic take. Iran can easily devastate middle class east allies, just look at the Qatar strike.

Big mood shift today
Israel basically signaling they dropped enough bombs and RoW saying they will help to clear Hormuz. Harder for Iran to sustain aggression against all allies. Increases odds they fold. Small risk they keep pushing and China/Russia add backdoor support but I don’t think China will risk that given what they have seen. Could certainly try to invite world navies in and pull something sneaky but I would discount that. See a clear window for resolution which didn’t exist until today.

@MikeBales Leaving DC while the government is shut down is abandoning their duty and should be considered resignation.

@JoshYoung @nominallyrich @Hyundai Exactly this and it's kinda sad because they have some good cars. But they spent 20 years proving themselves and had built a decent reputation and in the past few years they've destroyed it.
English
@nominallyrich @Hyundai Yeah. They had been working on building up their brand reputation, but I guess they gave up on it.
English
Bought a hybrid @Hyundai Tuscon. Huge mistake.
The hybrid battery died 3 years in.
It is technically under warranty, but they have so many cars with problems that they don't provide loaners (or rental car etc). And they're out of batteries so it's been weeks. 👎👎

@davepl1968 @GavinNewsom Most with dyslexia have unique capabilities overshadowed by their flaws of misrepresentation. If the strength is not figured out, most drown in depression because of their flaws and aren't willing to improve or bypass the flaws.

To every kid with a learning disability: don’t let anyone — not even the President of the United States — bully you.
Dyslexia isn’t a weakness.
It’s your strength.

@TimRunsHisMouth Won't work. They don't need the money anyway. They should however be required to be in session until a budget is passed. Physically in their seats in the capitol. 8x5 at least.

Seconded. Members of Congress should be the first people to go without pay when they cause a shutdown.
Jonathan Turley@JonathanTurley
I am currently in Houston on my way to a book event in Florida. I am hearing horror stories from passengers caught up in the Democratic shutdown. It is outrageous that these members are continuing to receive their pay while these federal employees cannot support their families...

@erocnomeDehT @ShamashAran Sister literally had never in her life looked up and seen the moon in the sky in the daytime?
English
@ShamashAran I was private schooled back when nuns still taught. I got sent to the principal's office in second grade when Sister Patronella stated that the sun and moon can't be in the sky at the same time and I inquired, "How do eclipses work?"
English
I could tell endless stories about this.
In 5th grade we were doing basic physics, and the teacher was explaining how electrons orbit the nucleus, and I was like, "no they don't! It's a cloud of probability of where the electron might be, and this is just an abstraction to understand energy levels" and I was sent to detention for insolence, basically.

@YourWaifu Because the last time a customer brought their own parts, they were wrong or failed or some other issue, and the customer blamed them, and it cost them a bunch of time and money and frustration to fix.
English
Why the fuck do so many corporate garages deny you service just because you already bought the part you need at autozone
Like my brakepads just need fucking changed bro its not hard I just dont have a jack that can fit under my car bc its fucking lowered

@TimK_VV @JacobKarli1 @BizzaroPlanet @dim0kq Fiber is glass, I'm skeptical they're melting it with a laser. But hit it with a bright laser at just the right angle and light could leak into the fiber and overwhelm the signal or even damage a sensor.
English
@JacobKarli1 @BizzaroPlanet @dim0kq Yes that was the analogy I had in mind.
From reading the comments it might be that the lasers are damaging the sensors at either end of the cable, but I'm not sure, extremely hard to inject a beam into a cable I imagine, but no optics expert.
Either way, nice development
English
Very interesting footage from Russians indicating that Ukrainian Forces use laser light beam to fry fiber optic on "waiter" drones.
Quite unexpected turn of the warfare, take notes.

@RaffieFox @SawyerMerritt Sorry but they're awful. Sure some are more awful but they're all awful.
English
@SawyerMerritt This is why people 'think' touchscreens in cars are awful.
Not because they always are, but because the one's they've used in legacy-auto cars, are absolute trash.
They'll probably never push updates out to fix this either.
English
It’s 2026 and there are legacy automakers that are still shipping crap infotainment systems like it’s 2010.
It takes 15 seconds for this Subaru Forester Hybrid to boot up. It takes 4 seconds for the car to even recognize that you tapped “I agree” lol. Horrendous lag.
Edmunds@edmunds
Imagine seeing this every single time you got into your car The new Subaru Forester's interface is unacceptably laggy and slow for a modern car

@FullStackNate @SawyerMerritt Nah cars from 10 years ago worked so much better.

@SawyerMerritt Wait. This is a brand new car? Looks like it’s from 10 years ago.

@TheKevinDalton Do you think they would let a parent just walk onto campus?
Child endangerment charges need to be filed.

Unbelievable…
I hope you’re sitting down, because the anti-ICE agitator that was allowed to hide from federal law enforcement on a high school campus has a long criminal history including arrests for assault with a deadly weapon and DUI, a conviction for reckless driving, and a 2023 restraining order stemming from a domestic violence arrest.
Meanwhile, where is Gavin Newsom?

Collapsing liquidity in refined product futures cud have major implications. Asian jet traded $225/bbl - possibly the highest price ever paid for oily product. If refineries start stopping out on short hedges because of margin calls and can't sell futures, then who will? #OOTT

New photo of the Russian LNG tanker Arctic Metagaz, which suffered a massive explosion in the Mediterranean early yesterday.
The ship is a smoking hulk, with the blast nearly splitting the vessel in half.

Iranian opposition channels report that over the past 24 hours, the IRGC and Basij have been turning schools, mosques, and hospitals into their bases.
They are abandoning their own headquarters due to widespread strikes on Basij camps and police stations, and relocating to civilian sites, using the same tactics as Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups. By doing so, the IRGC and Basij endanger civilians and effectively turn them into human shields.
