@opsylojay1 Just in case you were wondering there are 389,112 possible combinations assuming the pattern uses between 4 and 9 dots.

A man forgot the password to his phone in 2013. The phone contained 150 Bitcoins. The phone's owner has been trying to remember the pattern password he set since 2013...

@MartiniGuyYT I think you probably want to precede that with 'Trump says', 'Iran has just informed us....'. I suspect this is Trump talking to his own followers. Iran has been under sanctions for years, they're making more from their oil than they ever have, this may be just wishful thinking.

Iran has told the Trump administration they are in a “state of collapse” and are urgently requesting the Strait of Hormuz be reopened. This is the same strait they previously said would never reopen for U.S. ships. Three weeks ago they demanded $11 trillion, but Today they’re saying “please open the strait.” Treasury secretary Bessent froze their accounts and President Trump sealed their oil exports. The financial blockade appears to have broken them. This is what checkmate looks like. 👀

@tom_anticomm @MarioNawfal Remember it's a 60 year old plane. Iran was an ally then. Allies change all the time. The Soviet Union was an ally 12 years before the F-5 first flew. How many of today's allies the US is selling Raptors to, will be allies in 2080?

@MarioNawfal Why do they have a US plane? What ahole made that happen?

🇮🇷🇺🇸 A 1960s Iranian F-5 punched through U.S. air defenses at Camp Buehring in Kuwait. Billions in damage across seven countries. Dozens of bases hit. The same air force U.S. officials called ineffective pulled off the first enemy fixed-wing strike on a US base in years. If a Cold War-era jet can do this, the U.S. has a serious air defense problem it isn't ready to talk about publicly. Source: NBC News

@MarioNawfal A worthwhile rabbit hole is the 'Palomares Incident'. This is not the first time USAF has been banned from overflying Spain.

🇪🇸🇺🇸 Before, Spain banned U.S. aircraft from using its airspace for Iran war operations. Now, U.S. tankers are flying through it anyway, with no announcement, no reversal, no explanation. When conflicts intensify, alliance politics get very quiet fast.

@ValerieAnne1970 You sure they did CRISPR genetic editing in 1990?

You think you're just eating "cheese"? Think again. 90% of the American cheese on store shelves right now is made with a lab-engineered fake rennet called FPC — fermentation-produced chymosin. And it was originally developed and patented by Pfizer in 1990. Yeah, *that* Pfizer. Here's how they did it: They took the gene for chymosin (the key clotting enzyme from a calf's stomach), spliced it into Aspergillus Niger — black mold — using CRISPR gene-editing tech, then let the mold ferment in giant vats like some dystopian bio-reactor. The result? A synthetic enzyme that's cheaper, faster, and more consistent than the real thing. Big Food loved it. No more baby calves. No supply limits. Just endless, uniform cheese bricks rolling off the line. FDA called it "substantially equivalent" to real rennet and gave it GRAS status with zero long-term human safety studies — just a 90-day rat trial. Sound familiar? The worst part? This stuff isn't even listed properly. On ingredient labels it hides behind vague wording: - "enzymes" - "microbial enzymes" - "vegetarian rennet" - or just plain "rennet" And here's where it gets insidious: Plenty of people are getting bloating, digestive distress, skin issues, or straight-up allergic reactions after eating cheese... and they blame "dairy." But a growing number are realizing it's not the milk — it's the A. Niger residue or the GM process itself triggering the problem. Real animal rennet? That's the traditional calf-stomach enzyme our ancestors used for thousands of years. It works with your body. No hidden mold genes. Want the real stuff? How to actually avoid this garbage: - Look for labels that specifically say "animal rennet" or "calf rennet" - Skip anything that says "microbial," "vegetarian," or just "enzymes" - Buy European imports, artisanal, or raw-milk cheeses (they still use the old-school stuff) - Certified Organic or Non-GMO Project Verified is safer (many ban FPC outright) - Best move: find a local cheesemaker who tells you exactly what they use They turned one of the oldest, most nutrient-dense foods on earth into another ultra-processed Franken-food and hoped you'd never notice. Stop eating their science experiment. Your gut (and your ancestors) will thank you.

@Christo86383094 @WarMonitor3 Falkland islanders in the last referendum wanted to remain British by a 99.8% majority. The US did not come to the UK's aid in 1982 even though a NATO sovereign territory was invaded. Not dissimilar to the UK not coming to US's aide now.

@WarMonitor3 Luck goes to whoever is on America's side. Good luck to the UK on keeping the Falkans without american support. Milei an ally of Trump. Starmer an enemy of Trump. That means, the falkan islands have never been better positioned to be freed from the King than now. No Kings!

Chile has just backed Argentinas renewed claims on the British Falkland Islands. Good luck with that...

@MarioNawfal Things that don't add up. 1. Why wud the C130s & helis be beside each other if they blew up in the air? 2. Bent props look like landing damage 3. No crash rut, perhaps suggesting they were static 4. Why would the skull be in the plane if a missile hit? Is that fuselage wreckage?

🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 As expected, Iranian claims they found a skull of an American serviceman in the destroyed U.S. C-130 from the recent rescue operation is FALSE After further investigation, the skull image has been verified but does NOT belong to a U.S. crew member. It reportedly belongs to an Iranian soldier in a vehicle struck by a Hellfire missile while approaching the landing site. So far, those claiming Iran shot down the two C-130s and killed the crew and special forces inside do not have evidence to back up their claim. Source: Middle East Spectator

@MarioNawfal Given that critical mass is about 54kg(120lb), it's not going to be a very flattering fit.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance: What if Iran developed nuclear suicide vests "You talk about people who blow up the vest and a couple of people get killed. What happens when the vest can kill many, many tens of thousands of people?" x.com/BulwarkOnline/…

@MarioNawfal There's no need for large carriers any more when you're flying F-35Bs off the deck. War is changing and they're just bigger targets for China's mach 10 carriers killers.

🚨🇺🇸🇬🇧 Trump: The UK’s aircraft carriers are "toys compared to what we have." Nothing like clowning your own ally mid-war

@JoeskeeBroskee @HarrisAuthority You're assuming they go to zero imports. With tariffs removed, their BRICS friends will see they're OK.

@Christo86383094 @OverlordKego "Those who are it's [sic] servants have it". Tell that to Bahrain, Saudi, Qatar, UAE etc.

@OverlordKego Just like russia? What good are its nukes working in ukraine? How much did india’s nukes help against pakistan? What you say is not correct, nukes are a waste of money. True security only comes from the usa. Those who are it’s servants have it, those who resist don’t. Surrender!

People who complain about the iran war. Ok, the iran war is hurting the stock market. Ok got it. However, if iran got nukes and started nuking israel and europe…. How would the s & p 500 be doing then? Pretty sure down, so time to do what is needed.

@chamath That isn't going to help the gas price, oil is a global market as it's easy to move around and sell to the highest bidder. If it becomes hard to get in Japan, US oil companies will sell US oil to Japan if they offer more money.

From the President… Don’t be a panican!

@MarioNawfal Hot take: the worst outcome for US/Israel might be winning. Victory can mean deeper entanglement, more enemies, and no off-ramp. Sometimes a loss forces a reset, military cuts and prevents a forever war. Trump's in his last term. If Iran were magnanimous it might secure ME peace

Here's the best case scenario for this war: - The Iranian regime capitulates - It is replaced by a transition Government, as the country prepares for its first election since 1952 - The U.S. gets more control of the Strait of Hormuz, giving it an edge over China in the AI race (i.e. energy race) - Iran goes back to its secular roots with a blossoming economy, normalizing relations with Israel - Hezbollah gives up its weapons, and Israel pulls out of Lebanon - Lebanon goes through a period of rapid economic growth as it gradually normalizes relations with Israel - Syria's President succesfuly unifies the country, and begins rebuilding as Israel pulls out of remaining territory - The Houthis move away from Iran and begin normalizing relations with neighboring Gulf nations - Hamas give up their weapons, and we finally start seeing progress towards a two-state solution I know this is a pipe dream, but hey, let's be optimistic for once

@MartiniGuyYT Where's the ship going to? The blockade isn't a hard blockade, it's a gate that Iran can open or close for their friends.

💥BREAKING FIRST NON-IRANIAN CARGO SHIP PASSES THROUGH STRAIT OF HORMUZ A TANKER CARRYING DAS CRUDE FOR ABU DHABI BROADCASTED ITS AIS SIGNAL, SUGGESTING THAT SHIPS MAY BE RECEIVING THE GREEN LIGHT

@MDXcrypto @grok It's going to take a decade to build. If this goes on for another 2 weeks we're in trouble. Even if it did exist it would be easier to take out than closing the Straits. A missile hits a lock gate and it's out of action.

@grok how much do you think it would cost to build this canal if the UAE actually wanted to do it.

There's rumours that the gulf states might actually do this 🇦🇪 #Dubai If they built a canal like this, imagine Dubai, it would 1000x

@Math_files Given the lack of mobility in the past trains, car, bicycles etc, the chances are lots of your xth-great-grandparents were the same people, even today people are marrying 4th cousins without realising it.

In order to be born, you needed: 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great-grandparents 16 second great-grandparents 32 third great-grandparents 64 fourth great-grandparents 128 fifth great-grandparents 256 sixth great-grandparents 512 seventh great-grandparents 1,024 eighth great grandparents 2,048 ninth great-grandparents For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years. Think for a moment: How many struggles? How many battles? How many difficulties? How much sadness? How much happiness? How many love stories? How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...

@romanhelmetguy I'm sure someone would have noticed the genetic markers of 1st century Jews and modern Arabians are the same if this were true.

‘Professor’ Jiang says Islam was created By Jews. He says Jews invented Islam after they were expelled from Jerusalem by the Romans and fled into Arabia. He says Muhammad was actually the Jewish messiah. He also says the Al-Aqsa mosque is actually the Jewish Third Temple.

@chamath Yup, AI now means that documentation would have been very valuable for training and we just don't have the documentation.

Agile Has Broken Your Company The Agile Manifesto was signed in 2001 by 17 developers trying to fix broken software projects. It worked…until it didn't. Twenty-five years later, Agile has become a $20B+ industry, and the software it produces is getting worse. The Four Principles The Manifesto prioritized: - Individuals and interactions over processes and tools - Working software over comprehensive documentation - Customer collaboration over contract negotiation - Responding to change over following a plan These aren't wrong in isolation but the problem is what they became in practice. "Responding to change" became an excuse to never finish anything. Stanford researchers found scope creep was institutionalized and rebranded as "sprint replanning," one of the top drivers of cost overruns. "Working software over documentation" quietly gutted institutional knowledge. A 2023 GitLab survey found only 12% of developers felt their codebase was well-documented. In other words, technical debt became structural. "Velocity" replaced quality. Story points. Burn-down charts. Throughput. None of these measure whether the software is any good. The Manifesto said build software that works, and a focus on velocity forgot that. The Numbers Are Damning McKinsey found technical debt now consumes 20–40% of engineering capacity in most large organizations. The Consortium for Information & Software Quality estimated poor software quality cost U.S. companies $2.41 trillion in 2022, with $1.52 trillion from operational failures alone. Agile has been the dominant methodology for most of that period. The Standish Group's CHAOS Report found that in 2020, only 31% of software projects were considered successful. What You Don't Notice Until It's Too Late Current software development best practices have killed systems thinking. When your planning horizon is two weeks, you don't design systems anymore, you assemble features. The result is a mess of fragmented architectures, microservices sprawl, and codebases no single engineer fully understands. The "Product Owner" role that was supposed to represent the customer became a bureaucratic proxy. A layer between engineers and business outcomes, distorting requirements at every handoff. The Alternative: Software Factory The best engineers have always known what actually works. They write specs. They think in systems. They document decisions. They go slow to go fast. At 8090, we call this approach Software Factory. We look at software delivery like a production system with defined inputs, quality gates, and measurable outputs. Architecture is a first-class citizen from day one, not something you refactor into after 40 sprints. Documentation is built in, not bolted on. Quality Is Speed Every hour spent on rework, incident response, and technical debt is an hour that could have gone into upfront design or testing. Speed and quality don’t need to be in tension - it’s a false choice in modern mythology. If your team still measures success in story points and sprint velocity, ask yourself: What's your defect rate? Your documentation coverage? Your time to onboard a new engineer? Your incident frequency? If you don't like the answers, it's probably time for a different model. Try Software Factory at 8090.ai

@ClarksonsFarm1 The Lancia 037 arguably the best looking rally car of all time was largely based on the Beta Monte Carlo. Loved the Top Gear story of the 037 it a few years back.
