I dont think anyone believes Iran is worried about the people of Lebanon. The point people are making is that for some reason Iran has all the power in a supposed cease fire and used that power to add requirements that were not possible to enforce by the US. US was outplayed and outsmarted by a supposed "lesser" nation. Now when the US makes "defensive attacks" on Iran when Iran once again closes the straight due to Israeli violations (even though they were not part of the MoU), it further erodes the US moral high ground.

Cost has nothing to do with it. This was all laid out in the project 2025 manifesto. Burn it all down with no regard to money previously invested. Makes it harder for future administrations to rebuild. Halting the collection of data is not enough. Maintenance is 5% or less of the cost to deploy new. If they destroy it, it makes the cost to rebuild (including having to re-seek congressional approval) that much harder and time consuming.

if (and a BIG if) you are california, you can get a library card to any in state library, regardless of where in the state you live. Between San Francisco, LA, and San Diego, I think I have pretty much the full suite of anything I can borrow from the eLibrary system.

I have a fondness for map making and I enjoy your style regardless of digital or physical media. Have you ever created an article on your process? I'd be interested in reading about your flow.

I do not think there are any hand drawn maps. From what I can tell, its Adobe fresco with digital watercolor and digital copic pens. Still looks great, but there is a lot of confusion on the process.

I still return to O3 often. I enjoy metal detecting and O3 has been excellent at identifying unknown finds. It will spend 5-10 minutes in python adjusting the photo, zooming, cropping and manipulating it to get a better understanding of the object. And it's guesses, though not perfect, are often spot on. Newer models will never manipulate the photo and usually give a "guess" within 30 seconds. The guesses coming from the newer models rarely are even in the ballpark of the item.

It will be a sad day when O3 goes away.

Do you think that this is not happening here?

Thank you for this excellent idea. I tried this today. Plugged in my daughters favorite games, asked claude code to develop some web games based on her own preferences. Coded up 3 web games that she has now been playing for almost 45 minutes, practicing her multiplication tables. I refined them to allow server side stats, so I know which games she is playing, where she is in her practice, and utilizing spaced repetition. She has never been able to sit down and work on i-ready for more then 15-20 minutes at a time at home. Big win. I choose exactly what she is learning and practicing, she gets tailor made games that appeal to her.

they are likely going to try to take Kharg island. Trump suddenly started talking about this as a target in the hours preceding the announcement of the deployment. He gives away everything that the US is about to do if you pay attention to his truth social posts.

Its the latest manosphere talking point. Pretty much a repeat of saying all protestors are paid by George Soros and the Clintons.
