I enjoy the Bobiverse books on audible, but I wish they had a directors cut that removed all the Deltan plot. Also the books after Altered Carbon went weird. The show was way more enjoyable.

Quackles posted:Why are there so many small wars popping up right now?? They're almost all connected to Iran in some way. Their most recent strikes in Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan have ostensibly been retaliation for the funeral bombing a few weeks back (among some other smaller attacks on police checkpoints and government buildings), but they're also facing prolonged domestic strife as well as a lack of a clear heir to Khameini that's probably forcing them to try to save face. It's also not entirely clear that they even control their own proxy forces anymore - their strategy is typically to try and isolate adversaries (Israel, Saudi Arabia, the US, the Kurds). The Houthis attacking shipping in the Red Sea has done the opposite of that: it's generated a multi-national effort to contain the problem while also keeping Russia and China on the sidelines.

I didn’t know there was another one, I went and looked and you’re right, there is a cut down version, and a really cut down version that is what is missing from the cut down version.

It involved border instability and the two nations just assuming that their interests were somewhat aligned so they didn't have an effective de-escalation mechanism in place, so poo poo got rapidly out of hand before anyone understood what was happening

I’m only half joking Some other pictures of it that I've seen make it look like it's whatever the gently caress cream he smears on his face to achieve the inhuman skin tone he has. Like the bottle leaked on his hand or something. Still pretty OK with the idea of his brain rotting to untreated syphilis but I don't think this is it unfortunately.

I don`t know about the AFB commander that got fired but, looks like the sub commander that got fired a few days ago was due to a DUI. I would have thought enlisted guys would be the DUI factory. I guess it`s officers, as well. https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2024-01-18/uss-georgia-submarine-captain-fired-dui-12717074.html
