The US is keeping aircraft in allied bases in Cyprus, and a permanent one in Turkey. Haven’t seen anything about Afghanistan. Iran’s attacks make sense to some degree.

I think you’re confused on the difference between these, and what an administrative warrant is in particular.

These are wars in the colloquial sense, not wars between countries, come on

For toy and low effort coding it works fantastic. I can smash out changes and PRs fantastically quick, and they’re mostly correct. However, certain problem domains and tough problems cause it to spin its wheels worse than a junior programmer. Especially if some of the back and forth troubleshooting goes longer than one context compaction. Then it can forget the context of what it’s tried in the past, and goes back to square one (it may know that it tried something, but it won’t know the exact details).

They’re not bad, it just depends on how much you process them. Oven baked fries for instance, are not far removed from normal oven roasted potatoes. Par boiling and then deep frying them in fats will release more nutrients than you would get from a normal baker. Slicing paper thin and perfectly frying is an industrial process that most people can’t replicate at home.

I honestly think home cooked potatoes are going to be perfectly fine in most ways.

Maybe go try to meet some truly poor people and understand their story. It might provide you enough context for this discussion.

You are claiming sophistication is quality, it is not.

So code is not code? You’re admitting that provenance matters in how you handle it.

I don’t think you can put pump breakage on an agenda. Sometimes emergencies require emergency action.

That’s not what the parent commenter asked though, they wanted a price for not being concerned about limits. The API pricing is that.

That’s because it’s a bad point. An ecosystem can collapse for multiple reasons, e.g. collapse due pollution will not create a thriving ecosystem.

In almost all cases, when a collapsed ecosystem reaches homeostasis again, the result is a more fragile and less diverse balance than what was there previously.

That’s what the parent commenter is saying, if everyone has the same opportunity to go to college and get a degree, then colleges don’t need to pick and choose students. Right now, only people with means can do to college, and so universities wind up balancing the scales.
