Well both our President and Bibi stated very clearly in the beginning of the war that the Iranian populace was supposed to stay sheltered until given the green light from the US/Israel.

This has very little to do with what may be the general mood of the people who will actually have to do things after getting murdered in the streets.

It's unfortunately the reality. It is why this regime has been in a place a long time due to fear.

In any event, any momentum that those protests may have had were stunted by the massacre. Which was made obvious in the protests ending before the attacks began.

I don't think anyone can say with any certainty if those people will be able to do it again in the short term. Not a particularly controversial take.

Also, I don't know how anyone who isn't in the know to clandestine machinations as a member of the general public could feel confident in uprising at the same time we're negotiating with their leadership, which somewhat presupposes they will be sticking around. Obviously, the Iranian public wouldn't know of any schemes besides the obvious ones we're all seeing.

Brees has 9,000 more yards than Manning, 32 more TDs, higher completion percentage, less INTs, a higher passer rating, and beat Manning in a Super Bowl.

Are we basing Manning's lead on Super Bowl wins alone? The eye test? Pre-career hype? Name?

I get why Super Bowls can weigh Brady, I mean he has a bajillion wins and 10 appearances. But 2 Super Bowl wins to 1 just doesn't move the needle for me.

Regardless of the other political issues, I'm not sure what his age has to do with a murder charge.

Well, here we go again. Joint operation preparations complete and decision from Trump expected soon. Day 41.

Ya, I agree with you. Definitely need to stop them. Appreciate the graph illustrating how serious this is.

You also had isolation taking the entire shot clock for one attempt.

From what I’ve read and saw on the internet, the gear heads are calling BS on this. It’s not machining debris, it’s a faulty design and use of the wrong oil. A thicker oil can remedy the problem.

---

I'd have to watch it, but as a mechanical idiot, could you consider something that can be easily fixed with a heavier oil a "design flaw?"

If you update the manual and people use the "correct" oil and the problem is "solved," it doesn't seem like a design issue but again, I'm an idiot.

Google Gemini said the following on engine specific recalls since 2020. I could try to drill it down to severity/catastrophic I suppose.

Ford: 58
Hyundai and Kia: 44 (I sorta know why they are grouped but OK)
Stellantis: 31
GM: 27
VW: 19
Toyota Lexus: 12
BMW: 10
Mercedes: 9

Oh my goodness :lol:

Maybe we shouldn't have started, trained and funded those organizations...

That's amazing logic.

If the USS makes a mistake putting crazies into power and those crazies want a nuke, the US has to accept it because of the previous mistake? :lol:

I see we're still not addressing that Iran has admitted to enriching uranium past 20% which has no civilian purpose.

I'm legitimately curious what do you think they were going to do with that?
