I believe there were pieces of a plan. This global energy shift gambit being one of them. I don’t think there was a unified strategy with contingencies etc though (if there was it certainly wasn’t very good).

Not sure where you get the shaky regime idea, but Iran was not on the verge of collapse from protests prior to the war. It may have been on the verge of more aggressive clamping down from the IRGC, but collapse wasn’t around the corner.

I think you contradicted yourself. If a tool provides better value for the time spent for a company, I don’t understand how you can call it objectively bad. You can say it’s objectively bad from a technical perspective, but clearly that’s o

I found an extension for Safari called SinkItforReddit and it does an ok job of making old Reddit usable on mobile. I still fatfinger some clicks, but I’m stubborn and refuse to use the new site. My main gripe with it is less about the UI a

Yep, it feels like forever a niche market. As soon as you think about it like fundamental infrastructure (which as I understand it is what we’re supposed to think about) it quickly becomes obvious that cables are better suited. Wealthy encl

You set up the base station over a known point, and now your rover unit can give you cm level accuracy when it's within range of the base station (UHF radio range generally). For a practical application, let's say you wanted to la

Any good examples of the force click use? I use mine to look up definitions/Wikipedia in safari but beyond that I haven't found much use for it. I wish I could make it open links in a new tab (like middle click on a mouse) instea

I mean, I'm pretty sure that is social engineering, doesn't make them any less of an asshole though.

I would probably buy custom tailored everything if price weren't a factor. I have annoying proportions so most mass produced clothes seem to fit me poorly. I don't think it would be that much of a hassle, simply have all your meas

Yeah those are good points. Also I realized that we have a "subscription service" with indoor plumbing through paying for water. There's no reason something like this couldn't be paid for through a tax which would encour

Not sure how this is any better than a good composting toilet set up. Grew up with one in the house (hippy parents) and it doesn't smell and is minimal maintenance. Not sure how well this would translate into an urban setting but that

Would a 512mb RAM DO server be enough for this? I've been looking for an alternative to a VPN for a while, but it would only be cost effective with the $5 option.
