Waiting to see if a F-35 can pull the same stunt as a MiG-29 and get shot down by an unarmed drone.

Twice.

Edit - Iran has launched 168 drones at Israel (in minecraft, probably)

I'm confused, Iran has said they've launched an attack, one that's expected to hit at 11pm tonight? Why announce anything in advance?

It's not like it will come as a surprise at that range, so might as well take information initiative. And we are also talking about a nuclear power being hit by a nation that has its own nuclear program, so some common courtesy is understandable when the actual purpose is retaliation for a consulate strike, not wiping out the entire state.

edit: and since Iran doesn't share a border with Israel, it's even more courteous to inform Iraq and Saudi Arabia that they are not attacking them

I have an interior wall where the paint peels off and the plaster sounds hollow when tapped. It's definitely damp, either from the floor or maybe there's a slow leak from a pipe?

Well, now I feel like I'm being trolled by them.

My wife told me she'd seen 2 of them to the side of the patio door in the kitchen "recently" and sure enough there were two tiny gaps in the skirting where they join the patio door. So i popped some polyfiller in them a few hours back.

I go back to check just now and there's another loving woodlouse not 2 cm above where I'd sealed the gap. Again, no signs of dampness there at all, but they must be getting in through the patio door somehow.

Keir Starmer breathes a sigh of relief as he's told that there aren't many people in the UK who like Iran, so publicly denouncing Iran is basically rent-free.
Other than the slight panic while he tries to work out whether "rent-free" is what got that ginger tart (what's-her-name) in trouble.

I feel like creating actual material consequences for going around blowing up everything you see might be more likely to engender calm than not doing that.

Like this is exactly what happened when the US blew up Suleimani, Iran blew up a bunch of US bases, and then the US decided "maybe we shouldn't keep loving with Iran"

Yeah Iran has issued statements saying "We're doing this in retaliation for the consulate strike, and afterwards we consider the matter settled. Try some poo poo again and we will retaliate again." They're trying to walk the line between escalating and signalling that Israel can do whatever they like to them no consequences.

I assume Netanyahu is doing this in the hope that having his country be attacked by Iran will rally domestic support around him (or for the erection he gets from killing muslims) but it's such a pathetic play that it's hard to see anyone who isn't already stanning for Bibi take up the flag now.

I just don't get it. Every govt is blaming Iran when Israel blatantly killed Iranian diplomats in an embassy in another sovereign state.

And it's a complete about face from Oct 7th - Hamas initiated attack, therefore Israel can do genocide on Palestinians. Yet Israel initiated attack on Iran, therefore Iran cannot retaliate at all? Iran does not have the right to defend itself?

So suppose if Israel killed a couple of French diplomats in the French Embassy in Germany, and France decided to retaliate, then US/UK & whoever else would turn on France? Is that how it works?

I am more and more convinced the Samson Option is behind all this kowtowing to Netanyahu. I simply cannot understand any other explanation.

NOD was fighting western imperialism by uniting the global south and trying to wrest control of the south's own resources while GDI, a tool of the global north, was hoping to eradicate the very resource that would have shifted the balance of world wealth away from it :colbert:

It's almost like a conflict is being deliberately escalated by a decaying regime with the full knowledge that owing to climate (amongst other things) and dwindling petrol power it's inevitable to their future. it's a better option to provoke it now rather than later when the aggressors are running on fewer fumes. If you can't solve your own problems, punch everybody else first.

Probably tinfoil though, perhaps everybody woke up with the grumps. Have a Snickers.

In pathology alone there was the data entry system, there was the system that read the output of the biochem machines, the system that translated that into the input database's format; there was a PC at the back of the office with DO NOT TURN OFF taped to the front that translated results for the four GP surgeries that recieved results digitally; each machine in histopathology had its own pass-through translating stuff to the database and finally, we had 2 or 3 months of absolute chaos when the cerner / fujitsu 'central' system came in and our database needed a pass-through to translate everything onto that.

I apologise to the thread's computer touchers for what I just made them envision.

I briefly worked for the wheelchair service and even that had its own custom database that absolutely would not play ball with the physio's systems.
