OK buddy, you do you.

The side with $25M helicopters and $4m patriot missiles is at a big disadvantage to the side with $40K shaheeds here. Attrition favours the latter side. Assuming that both sides have stockpiles, the latter side will have more items in the stockpile, and will replenish it sooner. What happens when the air defences run out?

This is not just incorrect, it's nonsensical, non-sequitur. These comments with perpetually moving goalposts are not serious.

For people who want more a substantive look at it,

Spain and Portugal are less exposed to oil price shocks. Why do you think that is?

It is 2026 and "solar" can for a while now be read as "solar with battery storage". Similar, grid-level storage for any other intermittent power generation method.

We all know this, you included. This tired and childish talking point that "solar only works when it is sunny" is boring and increasingly at odds with observed reality of these power systems as they are now rapidly being built out.

e.g. How effective it will be: less than they might think, software is not infallible magic

What the side effects might be - more than they might think - excluding the underage means verifying the age of everyone.

So articles like this aim to raise awareness, all of this is clearly spelled out in the article.

Industrial Policy FTW.

This is ground-up, the opposite of high art. It's even kind of "outsider art".

Another country's official name in English is "Republic of Türkiye". Since 2022.

In both cases, that is what officials from the country expect the country to be called, when using the English language.

It's not interesting in the scientific sense of being an outlier, unusual and noteworthy. It isn't, it's a common enough occurrence.

It's "Eswatini" with a capital letter and no, it's not a complete change. In both cases the word means the place of the Swazi/Swati people. If you're not aware that Southern African languages use prefixes such as "e-" as well as suffixes (like e.g. the suffix "-land" in English) then I guess it's harder to recognise the word stem. But they are related terms, not a "complete change".

Whyever not? It's their stated preference. And it's hardly the same kind of change as "China" vs. "Zhōngguó" or "Germany" vs. "Deutschland". It's just a slightly different spelling and pronunciation of the same word. You can change your ways.

I don't think that this actually follows. Compare: "When Angels are not well defined in the first place, it is pretty pointless to debate if a pebble is or isn't an Angel"

i.e. even if X is poorly defined, you can still often say that Y isn't plausibly X.

Not that interesting, apparently this scale of meteor happens on average multiple times a year, just not usually over such an urban area.

The 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor (1) was larger and caused ground damage and injuries from e.g. flying glass from broken windows.

> Sounds like the beginning of an alien invasion movie. Sleeper ships buried themselves into every state.

Based on the last Alien invasion book that I read (2), it would rather start with air bursting the bioweapons, spreading the plagues to weaken us. Which ah, also fits this incident.

But neither the original post nor the majority of the responses are productive, mostly due to the acrimonious language used.
