Here's a critical part of the war no one is talking about - we're running low on interceptor missiles. Once we run out, we have to leave. Otherwise our ships are sitting ducks. So, we might not have a choice on whether to end the war. Staying past that can only make things worse.

Question for Christians:
Are Mormons Christians?

Mormons are not Christians, sorry.

@Shinamuller So do Spain and Morocco own the access to the Mediterranean Sea and can block it and charge tolls whenever they like

Listen up, Trump, and every dumb fuck in Washington who still thinks the Strait of Hormuz is some kind of American parking lot.
This aint international waters. Never was. Never will be.
Under the law of the sea, every coastal country gets twelve nautical miles of its own goddamn territorial water. The narrowest choke point in Hormuz is only twenty one miles wide. That means Iran and Oman own the whole fucking strait from shore to shore. Overlapping. Locked. Closed. No high seas. No open ocean free for all.
Iran controls the big islands too, Qeshm, Hormuz, Larak, Abu Musa, the whole chain. You sail through, you are in somebody elses house.
Iran never even signed that UNCLOS treaty, so they dont have to play your transit passage game. They say innocent passage and they mean it. You bring guns or you bring trouble, they can say no.
America starts wars because it never learned geography in school. They bomb first, read the map later. Before you drag us into another bloodbath, open a fucking atlas. The water belongs to the land that touches it. Not to the country that prints the most dollars.
Learn it now or bleed for it later.

@rrpre I have a friend from Columbia who bought one last year says it already lost half its battery life and is falling apart. The ones they show for propaganda are not the ones they are delivering

It's a misnomer that BYD is winning global market share because it's cheap. It's winning because it's a better car.
BYD's cheapest vehicle in Mexico starts around $19,000. In the UK, $24,000. What's crazy is that it's not the cheapest EV, hybrid, or gas car in either market.
BYD entered Mexico in 2023. It's now the No. 4 selling auto brand there. In the UK, it went from zero to No. 11 brand in 3 years.
We will never have $10,000 BYDs in the US. But BYD probably could still dominate even at ~$30,000... and that is pretty chilling!

The number that should terrify every Western automaker is 1,500 kW. BYD's Flash Charging pushes 1,500 kilowatts into a car battery. The fastest charger you can find in the US today maxes out at 350 kW. ChargePoint is bragging about rolling out 600 kW chargers sometime in 2026. BYD is already at 2.5x that. Deployed. 5,000 stations live. 20,000 planned by December. The car in this video, the Song Ultra, starts at $22,000. Five minutes of charging gets you 250 miles of range. The fastest-charging EV you can buy in America is the Lucid Gravity at 400 kW, and it starts at $80,000. So BYD is charging 4x faster at one-quarter the price. And Geely just beat them last week with a 4-minute charge. The Chinese automakers aren't competing with each other on range or styling anymore. They're in a charging speed war that Western companies haven't even entered. BMW's response was literally "pursuing quick charging forces other compromises." That's the "640K ought to be enough for anybody" of the EV era.

@NatalieEgenolf Controversial take but Pepsi zero is the best and it's not even close

Why does Diet Coke get all of the praise when Coke Zero is obviously the supreme flavor.

Everyone who treats the Bible as an authority chooses what they like from it & disregards what they dislike. That’s literally an inevitability. You can’t derive consistent principles from it otherwise. Folks like Eric are doing the exact same thing, they just pretend they’re not.
Eric Metaxas@ericmetaxas
The Bible is the Word of God. PERIOD. Tucker's thinking he can choose what he likes from it -- and discard what he dislikes -- is mindbendingly arrogant. And deeply wrong. And his "interpretation" of it is a satanic inversion.

@ThoughtTrain99 @AlecLace They only have a few days on hand at most it isn't
English
@eggert_charles @AlecLace The gas that was onsite (already bought at lower price) when oil went up should then not be charged more for until they by gas that costs more.
English
@DilettanteSci @maklelan I don't agree that's the point he's trying to make
English
@eggert_charles @maklelan That’s his point though. Each of those books is taking something different from the Bible.
English
@ManyuPIMP @AlecLace I'll explain it one more time and then go ahead and read the fifty other times I've explained it. Gas stations only have 2-4 days of gas on hand. So gas going up 10% over a week after oil going up 25% over the same time isn't surprising
English
@eggert_charles @AlecLace So why doesnt gas stay the same if they already paid for it and oil goes up, fuckface?
English
@JakeAda75629505 @AlanCirra @AlecLace Ok fine I'm not denying your lived experience but we can't specifically talk about each individual gas station and have any meaningful conversation the national average takes all the gas stations and gives a clear picture of what's happening
English
@eggert_charles @AlanCirra @AlecLace Maybe in your neighborhood. Where I live, literally the day after the bombing started, gas was up .10 cents. It has climed $1.50 since the bombing started.
English
@bobbi671489 @AlecLace How about you go read the fifty other times I've explained this to someone else. Your the idiot here not me
English
@shel58813 @AlecLace Ok but we actually have the real life data of this event and it took 25 days for the retail price of gas to rise to the same percentage rise we saw in raw oil in a few days. Don't believe every fever dream ai gives you look at the data and use your brain
English
Per Grok When crude oil or wholesale gasoline prices rise suddenly (e.g., due to geopolitical events, refinery outages, or supply disruptions), the next delivery will be much more expensive. Stations raise pump prices almost immediately to avoid selling at a loss on future sales. They can’t afford to absorb the hit on every gallon.
• When prices fall, stations still have lower-cost inventory in the ground or tanks. There’s less urgency to drop prices right away—they can sell the cheaper fuel at higher margins for a while. Competition eventually forces prices down, but it happens more gradually through small, incremental cuts. 
English
@dnvrfan67 @AlecLace I was referencing the national average. Why would I be talking about your specific gas station I don't even know you
English
@eggert_charles @AlecLace The post that I specifically responded to mentioned nothing about the national average. It only mentioned that the prices increased slowly over weeks and I saw the opposite happen where I live.
North Las Vegas, NV 🇺🇸 English
@Rayh16734482 @AlecLace Ok but price is a curve when it goes up it takes at least as long to go down. Since it took 25 days once oil reached 100 it will take at least as long once it gets back to the 70s but since oil is still at 100 we won't see any drop for awhile
English
@eggert_charles @AlecLace Some station refill their tanks twice a week, but their prices do not drop for weeks.
English
@UmitDikbayir Oil went from 70-100 over a few days. Gas went from 2.99 to 4.00 over 25 days . This is actually the opposite of what you are claiming
English
Brent petrol %20’den fazla düştü…
Ama akaryakıt fiyatlarında tık yok.
Yükselirken bir gecede zam geliyor,

Türkçe
@AlanCirra @AlecLace Ok your like the 50th person who doesn't understand. Oil went from 70-100 over a few days Gas went from 2.99 to 4.00 over 25 days same percentage increase vastly different timeline. Individual stations may differ but the average was actually pretty slow
English
@eggert_charles @AlecLace Bullshit. They raise the price overnight when they still have the old price gas in the tanks. It does not matter what happens.
