I can’t speak to that aspect. But I firmly believe that if our military planned and carried out this strike, then we had very good evidence that their bunkers were at a depth these ordinance could reach.

I was suspicious of that as well, but I’m not knowledgeable enough on that subject to speak on it, so didn’t include it. But I doubt any country can build that extensive of a nuclear factory in so few years.

That’s what they want you to think, but we have no evidence to either direction. And I doubt we will ever have a definitive answer.

Holy nothing burger, Batman!
First off, this article is from 2022, re-released to farm clicks from the current hype cycle.
Secondly, this is conjecture on top of conjecture. They discuss that we can’t know the current damage from satellite, and Iran down plays the damage. Then they go on to say “concrete is strong and can be stronger”.
Articles like this annoy me. It’s all based on lots of unsubstantiated claims, and then one guy’s theoretical research. We don’t know the strength of the bombs. We don’t know the strength of Iran’s bunkers. We don’t know how much damage was done. None of this has changed. I doubt we’ll ever really know. But throw whatever political spin on it you want, and now you’ve got a click worthy news article.

Seriously. This is another example of robbing Dick to pay Harry.
These storms are getting stronger because of climate change and messing with the environment. Let’s mess with it some more!
- Comment on How do I go about using/having printed purchased files off Etsy? How safe is it? 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t purchased files to print at all, so I can’t answer about Etsy or Cults3D. However, I can speak to other aspects and hopefully drive up engagement to get someone who can help more in here.
1: Dunno 2: You’re probably fine to print most things. Probably nothing like nudity or sex toys (don’t print sex toys in general, but that’s a different topic), and then a lot will shy away from guns. Cosplay guns might be tolerated. 3: This is a complex question. You need to know your print volume. All prints can scale, but if it’s wearable you probably aren’t going to be wanting to scale. Most creators, including that in your link, will piece out larger prints to accommodate this. I would reach out to the creator telling them your print bed size and intended use, and they might be able to adjust the sizes/pieces for you. 4: filament is usually $20-30/kg. I can get a LOT of prints out of 1kg. And usually the creator or slicer will tell you the estimated grams. 5: Can’t speak to this one. I think I recall some negative opinions towards Cults3D back in the reddit days, but I forget why.
- Comment on An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" 4 weeks ago:
That’s kinda what I’m getting at. This isn’t R vs D, and further perpetuating that is lending into the division of the country that the powers that be want.
This is class war, always has been. Police are the arm wielding power of the rich, used to push down the working class.
- Comment on An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" 4 weeks ago:
Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.
I’m an American, but my only experience with LA was traveling through for 2 days about 10 years ago. AKA no experience with LA.
This action appears to be originated from LAPD and therefore the local LA government. I have always considered LA to be deeply blue, and would therefore think that their local LA government would be Democrat, not Republican.
So should this not be the local blue voting populace having a word with their blue elected politicians?

It’s piss. Squirting is pissing. That’s been proven beyond reasonable doubt. Will link when I find the research I came across a while ago.

I was going to ask why they didn’t consult a real estate attorney. Apparently they didn’t have a good one…

She filmed a video of herself “mid-meltdown” over the extreme tariff, posting it on her social media.
Anything for social media clout. These kinds of people get no sympathy from me.

Yes, they are literally called Ninja swords in the legislation.
Yes, it is hilarious.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
cars will need to use buttons, dials, or stalks for hazard warning lights, indicators, windscreen wipers, SOS calls, and the horn.
Not enough, in my opinion. I’ve never had a car with these on touch screens, but I can’t imagine why anyone would think it’s a good idea. I’d like entertainment centers to stop being touch screens as well, but this doesn’t go that far. Hopefully they do in the future, though, since this is a good start!
- Comment on Nepal hikes Everest climbing fee by a third 5 months ago:
Climbing this mountain used to be a feat requiring great skill, strength, and discipline of body. Unfortunately, the decision was made some time ago to increase access and feasibility of the climb, and now making the summit is simply a matter of money. No longer does climbing Everest mean a great feat to overcome by determination and will, but simply a problem that can be solved by throwing money at it.
I get it, that costs go up and so must the price to access to fund the tourism. But this is simply the next step in finalizing that climbing mount Everest is no Everest.

- Comment on Day 171 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 5 months ago:
Lol, yeah. I’ve done a few playthrough with some friends and one regularly walked into the fire. Always a good laugh!
There are some storyline things above ground, namely the Crater and sailboat. Those all come along via exploration, but most is underground.
What I really liked is that there’s no character exposition or beating you over the head with the story. It feeds you information slowly, sometimes disjointed. Not until the end does it make it clear what’s going on, so there’s a lot of incentive to find the next piece of story line to see if you were right in what you thought was going on.
- Comment on Day 171 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 5 months ago:
This was one of my favorite games. It has 2 layers to keep you interested. The survival is fun, but it’s not primarily a base builder but a plotline game. You utilize your base to maintain supplies before you venture underground into caves to further the story line. Depending on how you play, half of the game or more will be in the caves progressing the story.

As with every time this is posted, someone has to come point out that this picture is completely unrelated. He had 2 prosthetics, both can be found on his Wikipedia page.
Guess I’m the one who gets to be pedantic this time!
