Sts2 is so gloriously broken right now it is great. I am actually archiving pirated releases so I can play the fun versions before "balancing" starts to rule.

On the same day as Chuck Norris. Let's hope St Peter doesn't mix who's who.

Context: Saleh Mohammadi was executed for demanding democracy by way of killing police officers.
Context: Iranian justice system has the same relationship to truth, facts and reality as cryptobros, tech startup founders, instagram influencers and astrologists.

I guess until they break. I guess that if this could be sustained couple more weeks people will take to the street. I guess they could start dissolving the state capacity. Barracks, courthouses, prison administrative buildings, police stations and so on.
The protests were wasted but if a couple of cracks show - it will roll downhill and fast. Lets give US at least the time NATO had in Serbia. It took 3 months to bring down Milosevic.

Iran executes 19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi, two others in horrific public hangings
I personally think that once US has air domination - it would be good PR if they go after the judiciary. A good assignation campaign and couple of blown courthouses will actually win hearts and minds.

Sure, we can practically genocide (I know this word is not to be used lightly, however I'm not sure what else to call "wouldn't it be a shame if something happened to your clean water and energy nationwide?") Iran, but does that really make things better?
Are you implying that NATO did genocide in Serbia?
"If President Milosevic really wants all of his population to have water and electricity all he has to do is accept NATO's five conditions and we will stop this campaign. But as long as he doesn't do so we will continue to attack those targets which provide the electricity for his armed forces. If that has civilian consequences, it's for him to deal with but that water, that electricity is turned back on for the people of Serbia"

Actually Iran being able to lay waste in 1500 miles is the best argument for dealing with them once and for all.
Anyway I don't think that they can do it. And don't remember that the gulf states have both money and armies. They could buy ballistic missiles in bulk, and unlike Uncle Sam those are people that don't mind being rough.

So how did LLMs impressed you this week? My case - I had lost original 3mf, but had OrcaSlicer temp folder, which ironically orca can't open. I ask codex-cli to try and reconstruct a proper 3mf. For my astonishment is did on the second try.

Missile launches. They way they use them - without plan, goal, control or success makes the analogy apt.

Aren't they at greater risk at the beginning when Iran's ejaculation capabilities were not yet degraded and they could reasonably overload whatever temporary AA the marines were able to build at the island?

Right now - I would say that I wouldn't recommend anything of the middle east. But the best places I have been there are Erbil and Muscat. Dubai is Sin City - anything goes if you have money. Didn't like it that much. There is no reason to go to Saudi Arabia unless you are muslim. Doha is ok, but kinda boring.

The best thing that Trump is doing is destroying those international travesties. If we are lucky by the end of his term we may get to the point where "rule based order" is so damaged that even eager democrat president may be unable to salvage it.

No substance, but Doha doesn't try to suffocate you with opulence. It is built on slave labor and not a good place - not sure how to tell it - a month in Dubai - and you will be tired, a month in Doha - you will be rested.

Except Qatar is quite light on glitz. Emirates are all glitz and flash. I have flown both and spend quite a lot of time in the lounges. Qatar color scheme is more subdued - calming purple instead of gold everywhere. Even the music is better. The personal are quite good at giving you whiskey and cashew and getting the fuck out until you land. They don't pester you every five minutes with "do you need anything sir?" They don't wake you up about seatbelts while you are sleeping. They let you sleep almost to the touchdown. The first class lounge is also better if you care about comfort - quieter, calming.
Emirates are built on the idea that the luxury must be displayed and consumed, qatar - that it needn't be.

Kill lots of people is absolutely valid war goal. The thing is US and Israel not so slow down the killings. Which they seem to have slowed down in the second week.

And the gulf countries have enough money to have couple of airplanes and many drones patrolling 24/7

Why risk ground forces' lives by taking them earlier?

It is big, but isn't this thing a bit light on the firepower?

Dubai is cringe all the way. Simple comparison between Qatar airlines and Emirates shows everything wrong with the dubai mindset.

No, don't ask about why ship sizes don't seem to match up with what you'd think based on their "Frigate vs. Destroyer vs. Cruiser" classification.
Isn't classification about what they do and not how big they are. Same as with tanks - which could lead to heavy tank sometimes being lighter than medium ones.

Vance's chances are high, but the most important thing I think is Republicans to have real primaries. It is best if they learn from the other party's mistakes.

So about Iran - a lot of places and few times here people mention that IRGC are well trained, motivated and such. Usually from people that are skeptical for one reason or another about the war. I am sure they utilize the lion's share of the Iranian resources available, but the evidence of them being competent is scant at best. They consistently fail to protect people and infrastructure, their proxies are also not terribly effective. So where does their good reputation come from?
