The bigger the lie, the more details we're offered.

So, if I got that right, here's the narrative: - A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (apnews.com/article/donald…) - The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116351956955900185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…
) - He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (time.com/article/2026/0…) - U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (x.com/ByChrisGordon/…) - To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (bbc.com/news/articles/…), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan_N…) - They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (time.com/article/2026/0…) - Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (x.com/Afshin_Ismaeli…) - Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (turkiyetoday.com/region/wreckag…). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft. - Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (#47863db0-d61e-51bf-b7e1-6c4a9dc988e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued." - In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). - And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is. So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous. Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (@realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky. Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling... English

Com a autoridade da instituição a que preside e da sua independência, ASP tem demonstrado q, como alguns temos vindo repetidamente a referir, estamos perante um problema social q é premente e q, sem solução adequada, pode acabar muito mal. Como é referido, há um tremendo problema de escassez de oferta, que implicará muito mais empenho pelas autoridades locais e nacionais, realização para além dos anúncios, construção pública e agilizacao de um processo q vai durar anos, onde todos têm de saber cumprir o seu papel.

Em Lisboa, a prestação mensal para comprar uma casa de área mediana aumentou de 907€ em 2019 para 1811€ em 2023, equivalente a uma taxa de esforço teórica de 102% para uma família de rendimento médio. No Porto, a prestação mensal aumentou de 550€ em 2019 para 1339€ em 2023, correspondendo a 84% do rendimento mediano dos agregados familiares desse município. Por outras palavras, em Lisboa e no Porto, apenas os agregados familiares com rendimento acima do percentil 90 e 80, respetivamente, conseguiriam comprar uma casa mediana, mantendo uma prestação inferior a 40% do rendimento. Nalguns municípios do Algarve, a quase totalidade das famílias residentes não seriam elegíveis para um empréstimo para compra de uma casa mediana.

@santospereira_a … quanto desta subida foi provocada pela ‘inflação’ virtual das agências de imobiliário?
Português
Um dos desenvolvimentos mais significativos dos últimos anos e, porventura, o maior risco interno que enfrentamos, tem sido a pronunciada subida dos preços da habitação.
Os preços da habitação aumentaram 140% entre 2016 e 2025. A maioria deste aumento (80%) ocorreu desde 2019.
As rendas também têm subido de forma significativa: entre 2019 e 2025, a renda mediana por m2 subiu cerca de 65%.
Obviamente, esta enorme subida de preços tem um impacto muito grande sobre a acessibilidade à habitação.
Para percebermos isto mesmo, os investigadores do Banco de Portugal calcularam um indicador de acessibilidade à habitação, que representa a “taxa de esforço” do empréstimo contraído para adquirir uma casa de área mediana (101 m2) e preço mediano para uma família de rendimento mediano.

Is there a chrome plugin that takes a webpage of help docs, converts them into plain text and then pastes into my clipboard???
No idea why companies don't put a big "copy for LLM" button at the top of their page
