The Esfahan Khomeynishahr Drone Production Plant produced Shahed one-way attack drones that have been used by the Iranian regime to attack targets across the region. The photo dated March 3, 2026, shows the plant before U.S. strikes. The photo taken on March 12, 2026 shows the same site following a barrage of U.S. precision weapons strikes - another major blow Iran’s defense industrial base.

@thelastffighter @ShotShy @archeohistories He's not being literal. He's literally (and I'm using that word correctly) questioning the authors use of the term "self-made". That's not being pedantic, it's asking for explanation.

@ShotShy @archeohistories He designed them with help from others. Don't be so literal.

Union artilleryman Samuel H. Decker (1813–1894) posing with his self made prosthetic arms, 1867...
Union artilleryman Samuel H. Decker (1813–1894) stands as a remarkable example of resilience and ingenuity in the aftermath of the American Civil War. After losing both arms, Decker refused to surrender his independence. Instead, he designed and built his own mechanical prosthetic arms—an extraordinary achievement in an era when prosthetic technology was still primitive and largely uncomfortable.
His custom-built devices featured metal components, adjustable joints, and gripping mechanisms that allowed him to perform daily tasks with surprising functionality. At a time when many amputees depended heavily on caregivers, Decker’s invention symbolized self-reliance and innovation born from necessity. His story highlights how wounded veterans often became pioneers in early assistive technology, pushing forward advancements that would benefit future generations of amputees.
The Civil War created an unprecedented demand for prosthetic limbs, as it resulted in roughly 60,000 amputations among soldiers. This tragic scale accelerated both medical research and mechanical design, leading to significant improvements in artificial limb technology during the late 19th Century.
After the Civil War, prosthetic limb patents in the United States surged dramatically. Before 1861, only a handful existed. By 1870, dozens of new mechanical limb designs had been patented as inventors raced to improve mobility and comfort for veterans.

I lived with a Chinese EV for a few weeks to see if the hype is real. The car costs $42K, and turns out it feels like $75K+ EASILY
One of the most impressive things I've ever reviewed: youtu.be/Mb6H7trzMfI
- A+ software and features. Feels like what would happen if Apple made a car
- Build quality is excellent all the way around. And materials (leathers, metals, etc) are all premium
- It crushes all the fundamentals to make it livable: 320 miles range, super comfortable seats, excellent air suspension, active noise cancellation, great displays and cameras, bright clear HUD, Self driving
- It has a MODULAR interior design (detailed in the video)
- Performance is sneaky great. This is just the "SU7 Max" spec, but 660 horsepower 0-60 in 2.8 seconds? Sheesh

Turns out @LastPass just blocked my access to my mobile device, deciding I have to go premium to use the service on my phone. Note: I have paid for LP for years. I've lauded its cross-platform value. Why? @LastPassHelp - why?

@elonmusk Put in a downvote button that down ranks posts and bypasses the feed algorithm. Since you're all about free speech. Let's see what happens.

@bspokco Love the direction this one is taking. Super fun vibes.

@arlton I think luck is higher... cumulatively, a lot of lucky circumstances are required in a row to maximize hard work and talent. But I think I prefer the word chance. Because chance acknowledges the possibility for downside, too.

@advisory_cloud Not only did I not get anything for my investment, it seems you have policy of auto-renewing members 15 days out from the end of a period and do not provide a means for cancellation in-app. What can you do here?
