I can understand that concern, but man, no way could you stop me if I had a chance to be in that capsule. The idea of being where so few have, getting to see things so few have seen, taking in those views.... I would be in my glory. Can't remember who/what it was, knowing me probably something I listened on a podcast, but they had quotes/conversations from astronauts and many talked about the greatest thing about being in space was a feeling of just how small we are, even as a whole, yet most talked about how connected they felt too. I just tried to look it up, and pretty sure it was the Overview Effect which was a book by Frank White. I have never read it, so likely an article or podcast about it. I've been lucky enough to see a few amazing views on this Earth, it sounds like its the same feeling, but with an exponential force. Found this while searching and watching it now.

No way Iran opens it all the way up even with a toll. They now know we can't control Israel so they will make sure every other country in the world puts pressure on Israel to lay off as well. Easiest way to do that, slowly ramp up flow through the straight, make sure the World feels pain and feels it enough that they turn their anger towards the country that started it all and walked away.

You got all the establishment Dems talking points out in one post. After getting burned by the likes of Tulsi and Fetterman, I understand the concern though. As for the tattoo, I do believe he got it because he thought it was cool, not because of any nazi ties. I do like his opponent better though, just wish she was 35-40 years younger.

I feel like Trump is doing a phenomenal job in ensuring a blue wave later this year. So with that, I politely ask all liberals to let him do his thing, I mean you can protest and get mad, that's all good, but don't give an unforced error. My twitter and a few other news sources I quickly gloss over are going ape **** over this Chicago murder and in digging into it today, seems like Fox News is the only national MSM currently on it. But in short, an illegal alien killed a Loyola University student a few days ago. This is what the Loyola student newspaper is worried about after the fact: https://www.foxnews.com/media/loyola-student-newspaper-apologizes-calling-suspected-murderer-sheridan-gorman-illegal-immigrant

And not that I want to defend my competitor, but those AT&T numbers aren't that bad either (subjective based on the area (rural/urban). We have several years before the cellular wifi at home solutions are able to truly compete with fiber/cable. It's still a great and cheaper option for many that don't utilize their Internet all that much.

Those ping times, while high compared to Fiber/Cable, are incredible. I had a customer that used Hughes Satellite internet for backup and we'd see a 700-800ms, sometimes up to 900ms. They say the average human doesn't start to realize slowness in browsing until you get past the 100-120ms mark.

They should update their policy, and push the industry to join them, in shutting off this service immediately upon any future shutdowns as well.

Yeah, Navy couldn't do it alone, we'd need boots on the ground in western Iran, controlling some portion of the coast. If the plan resulted in zero American deaths, the financial cost would be unreal. Now you still don't have any off ramp and you have boots on the ground which is escalatory by nature. That said, at this point, I think you only have two options, boots on the ground, which in my opinion has to mean regime change and you just hope you 'get it right' this time, or diplomacy. The one that sounds like a much better option, is also exponentially more difficult for this particular administration. Thus why i'm hoping India/China are able to pull this off.

Reason #534 why Trump really is a democrat.

I hope someone is telling Hegseth and Trump this and aren't being pushed out of the room. The Strait is a perfect spot for Iran to focus on, but everything in that Strait is a possible target. Without a doubt i'm confident the US could control all of it if they wanted too and likely make it secure enough to get ships insured and trafficking it, but the cost....holy cow the cost. There is a part of me that hopes there are some backdoor discussions with maybe India or some other Middle Eastern states Iran is willing to talk to on our behalf. In fact I do suspect China and India are talking with Iran to see if there is an arrangement that can be made and will get the US involved when they feel it's appropriate. China and India probably aren't excited to help us out, but Trump screwed this up so bad it's affecting them too and it's sad we need to look to them to help solve this for us.

To be fair, it's essentially a refund of its offshore leases, which the company has agreed to reinvest in LNG production. Apparently there is something going on in the middle east which is obviously Bidens and/or Obama's fault, possibly some of Clinton's fault and of course a little slice of fault from Carter which this administration is working to resolve peacefully and quickly, hence why he's always talked about as a potential nobel winner.

To be fair (watch out for old man rant), these kids don't wear that much in everyday life as it is. I think they had some in MIchigan, maybe they still do. Twin Peaks is (i'm pretty sure) still around in Madison Heights and the food is( or at least was) really good. Last time I was there was probably pre-covid, buddy was in town for work at a hotel next door so he just asked me to meet there. I had no qualms about going, good scenery and good food, I'm in. I didn't realize I had gotten old though and spent most of the time watching how embarrassing most of the other guys were with the staff and that began to assume the staff was probably looking at us the same way.

Opposite, but needed. Unrelated, that Theo dude has a great last name.

Ahh, whatever. Some folks handle these situations differently. I listened to Eli Zharet the other day talk about Mahorn being picked up in the expansion draft after the 1989 title. He never played for Milwaukee and was traded to the 76'ers. If I remember correctly when they first played against each other in 1990, he tried to get Laimbeer to go out to eat, Laimbeer refused. In expected fashion, both sides played hard on the court. Today they are best friends. Respect differences.

He's both, sometimes its evident, sometimes its not that clear. On the ignorant portion, and I hope she doesn't get mad at me, but my wife's grandma (rest in peace) would just take tidbits of information and form them into new 'policies'. So Papa had heart issues and was on a drug which he was told not to eat too many green peas. Apparently too much of a certain vitamin in them that could make the drug more ineffective. Did Grandma understand this....no. Instead she preceded to tell the family that they need to stop eating peas because it's bad for the heart. She didn't lie, cheat, and steal, so it was obvious when she said something like this you could trace it back to some info she got. Unfortunately with Trump, who knows, could be lying about it, could be saying it based on some tidbit he's unable to fully process in his brain, could simply be saying it because at the time it sounded like the best way to retort as he really doesn't care if its true or not.
