Well… This doesn’t prove him wrong.

“We couldn’t imagine Iran would close Hormuz”

Yeah… I’m still trying to imagine if Branningan could be that stupid.

Yeah, lying on your visa application form will cause that.

Also, he may work as a diplomat somewhere, I dunno, but he wasn’t going to Brazil as a diplomat. That’s a really bullshit title.

Maybe Lebanon should start a paper balloon launching tradition.

You use it to write programs.

It is. But I doubt they are used by 3 combined people.

The Debian project needs to keep the machines for compiling and testing. And there’s probably no other machine of those architectures available for the enthusiasts to actually use.

That’s what a chemist looks like nowadays. Including the physics undergrad course.

You can push electrons into a capacitor if you don’t connect the other side. A few of them, but more than zero.

There are electrostatic generators that work by pushing electrons on one side and pulling from the other of some insulator that moves between those two. But you can’t sustain a steady state of only one of those actions.

If you can inject commands into a communication line, somebody was really stupid while designing it.

On the case of the real drone, the laser is destroying the cable.

On the OP’s case, yes a laser can interrupt the communication. But the drone needs to keep sending it, or the drone will just continue after it’s gone. On the other hand, you need less power.

The danger is not they biting you.

Iran has been out of the petrodollar system since the maximalist sanctions the US imposed in 1995. Sanctioned countries don’t have a use for dollars.

The Second World War was pretty much all done on drugs.

You were not born when the decoupling began.

As recently as the 1970s, the world was getting unambiguously more coupled. As recently as the 1990s, it was ambiguously so.

And decoupling only started to really happen last year. Before that it was going in a glacial pace.

I wonder if this is the final nail that will decouple the world economy from the dollar.

But then, I suppose the plan was to decouple the world from the dollar all the time. Trump is clearly playing 5D connect-4.

You mean they trying to end the world is distracting people from the time the cartoonish villains tried to take over the world?

Yeah, it’s kind of a safe bet.

Most of them are also extremely deep under some really hard to dig terrain.

Also, their numbers have some large error bars.

I mixed up the people.

I think some snakes are known to be poisonous. Snakes are prey to several animals.
