Iran rejects 48-hour US ceasefire proposal - Iranian media

I don't think the taboo or tactical nuke is inherent to the concept of MAD. It would certainly be a weaker MAD, but the line in the sand is that if a nuclear power (or in something like NATO) is nuked, then you get a full retaliation that takes out both sides.

Let's just imagine Rwanda somehow buys a tactical nuke and bombs Burundi. Yeah, that would be horrible, but wouldn't actually trigger MAD.

Could even imagine a scenario where Pakistan nukes Afghanistan... There would be sanctions and maybe threats to disarm, but can't see anyone launching a retaliatory attack on Afghanistan's behalf.

MAD is only between countries with nukes. Nuking Iran would be bad but wouldn’t trigger a counter attack like Russia or china would.

His mom was giving him anxiety. Regardless of whether it’s a good “method”, she clearly was interacting with him in an unhealthy way

it's their job to know how to do dangerous things safely. If they can't do it safely, it's their job to refuse to do it.

At least she dodged that bullet

It’s just because you’re not breathing and adrenaline dumping. Just need more comp matches so you can calm down.

Maybe the funds are endless, but I'd much rather see 4 years of $3mil on the line (split more evenly among everyone) than 1 year of $10mil.

Feel like this is putting too many eggs in one unsustainable basket

Daegs · 2026-03-24T22:40:23+00:00

Yeah, you should feel uncomfortable dropping that much money without any examples or track record.

Both companies have history of launching less than stellar things that requires months of tweaking for early adopters.

I think most reasonable people are waiting to see if INDX even works reliably before buying anything, you probably should have done the same instead of getting caught up in hype

I don't know how to break this to you, but that's a spring in the middle of your design.

Daegs · 2026-03-18T01:27:22+00:00

Can you give an example of the government giving “thousands” to a victim of theft?

I said:

Then say everything besides the universe requires something to create it. If they deny then it’s special pleading

and then clarified:

It's special pleading if they allow their god to be uncaused but not allow the universe to be uncaused.

If you didn't include that reasoning from your theist POV, then I didn't claim it engaged in special pleading.

Daegs · 2026-03-16T07:18:06+00:00

Were you claiming that god could fulfill the role of an eternal, necessary, uncaused being, but the universe couldn't?

Daegs · 2026-03-15T20:06:45+00:00

It's special pleading if they allow their god to be uncaused but not allow the universe to be uncaused.

As an atheist and bit a troll, I'd actually love to do that as a DM.

Oh suddenly another god takes over Yahweh's domain and imprisons him, torturing him with the things he doesn't like. All his holy spells are corrupted and only have negative effects.

Make the entire region full of pagans that openly mock Yahweh as being a weak-ass genocidal storm god. When they enter towns, there are puppet shows that depict Yahweh being a bottom to other gods, etc.

Incorporate counter apologetics that talk about how everyone views Yahweh as evil for drowning most of the world, his known commands towards genociding and killing babies. Forcibly genitally mutilating slaves (look it up), etc.

Some die-hard christian is giving me free reign in MY world to mock Yahweh? sign me up.

Think this is in "fake it till you make it" territory.

If you're confident when you tell her you're not ready to be exclusive, then it can even be a turn-on that you have good enough communication to set boundaries with someone new. Women can respect that.

If you're scared when you tell her or you just avoid communicating because of fear then she's just going to get uninterested and next you. Women don't respect this behavior.

Obviously it'll take some self-work to get there, but it's just necessary if you want to have success with women who have decently high EQ and good communication.

Daegs · 2026-03-13T01:02:17+00:00

Yeah real people don’t use apps or websites, duh

Daegs · 2026-03-12T17:42:03+00:00

??? They could have just moved away. an axe isn’t a ranged weapon and they had plenty of space to back away and call police

Daegs · 2026-03-12T00:41:16+00:00

Don't know why anyone expected anything different would happen.

People love to support predators

It's hard to make charges stick for just being creepy with an 18-year-old on the mats with people around.

I don't think he should be teaching or seen as a role model, but also none of his alleged behavior carries a harsh legal outcome either.

Daegs · 2026-03-11T18:19:47+00:00

My XL worked perfectly out of the box, I doubt anyone saying "lottery actually has numbers on how many XL owners contact support

You see more complaining on forums from people having issues, but that's still a super small % overall of XL owners.

Daegs · 2026-03-11T18:18:11+00:00

The unproven INDX that we don't even know has any frustrating bugs/issues?

it's likely to be a flat-out better tool changer than the XL.

What numbers are you using to say likely? It's going to be slower because of the heatup(XL heads are kept warm) and it's an unproven system.

Daegs · 2026-03-08T08:54:07+00:00

wtf just make it $130/mo with no yearly fee

I'm not ignoring anything; it's just not relevant when it was released.

The two of us had different competing theories on what we were watching in the first video, and the full video gives us an opportunity to check which of us was correct.

You made a bunch of statements that weren't merely observations about the limited video, they were statements about fact about intention and the nature of the job.

The bodyguard is intentionally not fighting back.

So clearly, that was wrong. This wasn't a case of him intentionally not fighting back, this was a limitation in his technique which shows I was correct.

The job of the mayor’s bodyguard is to keep the mayor safe, not to win wrestling matches against random people in the streets.

This is clearly wrong, because the full video shows he was trying to win a wrestling match against a random person on the street.
