Trump may be unable to end the war he started with Iran, even if he wanted to

Yeah, we know. It's one of the (many) reasons we didn't want this.

Oh, I wonder if there were more lost programmes in that collection - not necessarily Dr Who, but so much old tv has been lost!

That looks lovely! Thank you for getting back to us :)

That's a big bigger than the Sharpie, and likely cheaper - I'll probably switch. Thank you for letting me know about this!

Well, that's a shame, isn't it ...

Microsoft, Google, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia, and Oracle’s offices and cloud infrastructure in Israel and some Gulf countries as the new targets.

That's lovely!

Yeah, there was another site I checked with a couple months ago, and it was showing one local company supplying office equipment and another one selling training munitions; neither of those are listed here.

Because it's a warning shot. They don't want to immediately target the US government, large financial or tech companies, or infrastructure - they may attack those later, but not at the start. It's too quick an escalation.

If and when they do attack the US government sites, expect it to be a "less consequential" agency - Health and Human Services or something. If they have a way into the Pentagon, Department of Energy, or other high-value targets (for them), then the information they can get from those targets is way more valuable than attacking them and losing that access.

How long is the longest part of the tip? I've been using Sharpie magnums, but I may switch!

the oil price depends ⁠on ​the regional security ​which you have destabilised

Well, they're not wrong about that.

 

And thank you, Eric!

Dozens of people are presumed dead and about 100 injured following a fire at a Swiss Alps bar during a New Year’s celebration.

 

In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the Thanksgiving holiday to the next to last Thursday of November, one week earlier than its traditional observance. This change was intended to help boost the economy by providing an extra seven days for Christmas shopping.

 

Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

 

Like many others, when the reddit APIcalypse happened, I moved to the fediverse. Like many, I wasn't sure what it really consisted of, how it worked, or what instance to move to. Eventually I decided to sign up with kbin.social. Ernest was welcoming, the instance was friendly with a nice mix of topics, the community was great, having access to both threadiverse and microblogs was great, and I loved it.

And then Ernest started having health issues and the instance became unstable. Eventually I moved to fedia/mbin, which I enjoy a lot, but I just haven't quite felt that same sense of belonging - I don't know, maybe the new job just kept me away a bit too much, or I'm getting old, or just been through too many changes. But I've kept kbin on my launch page, and sometimes I find myself a bit wistful for it.

I poked at the internet, and the kbin.social domain expires in a few days, on 10 September, which I suppose will be a formal end to the project. In memory of kbin, I'd like thank Ernest: wherever you are, I hope you are well and enjoying your life. Thank you for the concepts behind and your work on kbin; I love the bridging of the microblogs and threadiverse. And thank you for making the transition to the fediverse less confusing to this old redditor. I wish you the best in life, and thank you again.

 

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place. Is there a setting where I can turn off people's ability to PM me? The spamgirl is annoying me, and I'm sure more will follow in her wake.

On other sites with spam issues, I'd turn off the ability for people to PM me and, if they asked on a thread I was on, I'd either re-enable PMs or add them to an approved users list. I thought I'd seen that ability here (I'm on the plain web version of fedia.io), but may well have been confusing it with some other site.

Thank you!
