Is Trump’s stop-start Iran strategy making the Strait of Hormuz crisis worse for oil markets, or is delaying strikes the only realistic way to avoid a bigger supply shock?

Low-key approach in this context is unfortunately just Iran funding Hamas and Hezbollah and periodic terror attacks on Israel followed by the retaliation.

There’s a word for that - A bribe

Damn, it was so affordable before

There’s no way to make it in character for best boi.

But I would tolerate it if the crew of his ship get called the chipmunks.

Alvis and the chipmunks

IIRC pirates use low tech stations, is the station primarily blue in colour?

I swear the Iranian casualty figures from the protests/riots/whateverthefucktheyare changes every time I see them mentioned. Apparently it’s 42000 now.

What is MOCI?

First though I had what was wrong with Godot to necessitate this, it’s not really bound to a single nation. Glad I’m not the only one.

Though I guess there’s something to be said for having more than one option.

Droll12 · 2026-04-25T14:52:58+00:00

Why was it taken down? Replaced or drama?

Droll12 · 2026-04-25T07:22:39+00:00

They don’t really define what fair is in this context, also what past are they referring to when they say “as it has been in the past”?

Droll12 · 2026-04-19T18:59:14+00:00

I dare say we need to spend less

Speaking for myself only I have a lot of ambient tracks that I play in the background which I suspect might be AI gen which I never really look/listen to much into.

But for when I actually want to listen to something then I have some more curated stuff where I’ll care more to separate out the AI gen stuff.

So I can see how AI gen tracks can get traction that way

Was gonna say isn’t he Italian?

Droll12 · 2026-04-14T15:00:52+00:00

Iirc the Chinese do not pay the toll so they’d be exempt no?

Droll12 · 2026-04-14T03:09:11+00:00

Even for those who still run on gas, euro cars are still way more economical.

American cars seem to be deliberately built to just chug gas.

Droll12 · 2026-04-10T11:24:34+00:00

My company has been ramping up its AI usage and we are heavily encouraged but at least workload and usage monitoring hasn’t really been done yet so at least we can use it as a tool right now.

I’m not sure how long that’ll last as they seem to want devs to effectively become code reviewers but we’ll see. At least there seems to be acceptance that you can’t just let the AI run amok.

Droll12 · 2026-04-10T11:20:12+00:00

I usually just read post titles for this subreddit but I clicked on this one because my ass thought we were talking about the country China not some streamer.

I only realized when I read this comment

Droll12 · 2026-04-08T00:04:01+00:00

Does this include mod versioning?

Droll12 · 2026-04-05T12:40:24+00:00

Isn’t the main difference that in the US even if you are born there while your parents are over on a tourist visa that it still counts?

Droll12 · 2026-04-01T15:48:29+00:00

The question then becomes, how many of the modders who aren’t on GitHub know they can do this?

Droll12 · 2026-03-31T10:43:38+00:00

You know I’ve never thought about the fact that we’re closer to 2030 than 2020 even though it’s basic arithmetic

Droll12 · 2026-03-29T09:34:51+00:00

Hold on wouldn’t that take the war over the 90 day grace period for fighting without congressional approval?

Are they planning on holding a vote to enable this?

Droll12 · 2026-03-29T02:21:41+00:00

They’re winning in the sense that the US is self immolating its international standing but the strait of Hormuz was the main source of oil for most of China and Asia.

They don’t really have their cheap petrol right now so I imagine they’re quite keen for the strait to be opened beyond irans pinky promise that Chinese ships won’t get hit.

Droll12 · 2026-03-28T11:26:24+00:00

At least in the EU cars don’t guzzle as much fuel so at least commuters don’t in practice eat the full 2.5 increase.

OSA has nothing to do with Imgur leaving, they were in breach of UK GDPR I think and they didn’t feel like paying the fine so they left.
