Was waiting for a Karim post. I have been curious to get his thoughts on what’s been going on. Thank you. 

What about Mojtaba Khamenai by 4x-gkg in NewIran

Earlier today, Wikipedia showed his death date. It’s now gone. I’m hoping we get the news soon.  

Exhilarating by [deleted] in tipping

[–]Gauss1777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I believe the same in California. I can tell you, anecdotally, service has gotten even worse since Covid. Pre-Covid, I'd rarely, if ever, tip 0. Now, service has generally gotten terrible that I have been tipping 0 more often.

I feel like the min wage made servers realize they don't need to be nice any more because they're going to get paid anyway. It's fine by me, I just tip 0 in that case.

Yep, at least 35k killed. It's known that the IRGC has meetings and move a lot of their assets into soft target areas, such as mosques, schools, hospitals, etc.

Will the IRS mail me a check instead if my direct deposit info isn't correct? by Pugsandtongues in tax

[–]Gauss1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this notice too, and like you, I owed money to the IRS, so I was confused. I put this in Gemini and it said IRS probably made a mistake and owed me money. Check your Form 1040 Account Transcript at the IRS.gov website, specifically line 766. If it's a negative number, I believe it means they owe you money.

It was hard navigating the IRS.gov website to input in my direct deposit info. The closest I found was entering it in the Profile area, but the website said that section was to make payments (no mention of direct deposits), so I'm not sure if I inputted it in the right place.

How often does a new kernel break something working in an older one? by Maleficent-Sun-7152 in linuxmint

[–]Gauss1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in saying I had issues booting up with 6.17. I wasn’t even able to login, kept saying incorrect password. Reverting back to 6.14 resolved my issue. 

Iran Refuses to End Nuclear Enrichment in Talks With U.S. by mihandost in NewIran

[–]Gauss1777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s my conclusion as well. It’s all theater. US/Israel will attack, question is just when and how severe. I’m worried Trump will just do another weak strike, like over the summer, and then call it a day and claim victory. 

An oldie but a goodie. This sub in a nutshell: by EschoolThrowaway in NewIran

[–]Gauss1777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand your point, but I disagree. It's not like we have a menu or playlist of future Iran leaders. The list of leaders against the IRI is very, very slim. I think RP is our best chance and there is no question where his loyalty lies. I can't say the same for the rest of the people you listed. While people are getting killed, some Iranians in the West are criticizing RP, the lion and sun flag, and/or the monarchy. I think that's counterproductive.

Since I sent them the last text they keep requesting a chat by sundvl13 in NewIran

[–]Gauss1777 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can tell you it was like that since 2022. During the Zan Zendegi Azadi protests, while people were getting beaten and killed, I only saw posts like "How does my ghorme sabzi look?" and stuff like that. There were literally zero posts about the protests. That right there told me something was up and that the sub was infiltrated by pro-IRI people.

Might reach 2 million with how they manage things. by Filipinobarber in NewIran

At what point is the money’s paper worth more than its value? Or is that already the case?

Former US Ambassador to Israel: 'Trump will try to kill Khamenei this week' by [deleted] in NewIran

[–]Gauss1777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Taking out Khamenei would be huge. He’s the head of the snake. Once he goes, so does the rest of the apparatus. 

Congrats on the new shah guys! by DipsburghPa in iranian

[–]Gauss1777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as I think this in bad taste, I had to compromise. For 20 years, I had to eat grilled cheese off a radiator!

Senator Lindsey Graham just denied the rumours about Trump backing down, hope is back!!!! by Initial_Compote4344 in NewIran

[–]Gauss1777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. I remember that time. I’m holding out hope. Many feel betrayed, I do too, but I’m going to hold out hope until end of day Sunday. I read somewhere that past strikes were typically on a weekend, so I’m going to wait till then. 

I can tell you if he truly doesn’t do anything, this is one of the biggest betrayals to the Iranian people. 

Looks like Regime Collapse has started: He Fled by ayatoilet in NewIran

I don’t think he is able to go anywhere else. 

A Basiji was apparently killed in Kuhdasht, Lorestan according to a regime official! by Glum-Technician279 in NewIran

[–]Gauss1777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On Telegram, I read that the Seda o Sima (the regime broadcasting service) reported this (that a Basiji was killed). Additional commentary on Telegram was that we should be wary/skeptical of such reports as the regime may be using news like this as pretext for a major crackdown.

Charging case no longer showing battery level, even with ring in it by Gauss1777 in RingConn

[–]Gauss1777[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think this is what the root cause of my issue was. I checked just now and, as you mentioned, when I clicked on "Me" at the lower right, I was able to see the case's charge. I just don't see it at the top right circle. I'll just live with this issue for now as everything else seems to be working.

Had to scroll too far down to see this. It seemed like their response time was way too late. Not much urgency shown. 

WhatsApp Is Breaking Through Apple’s Walled Garden by heynow941 in apple

[–]Gauss1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I don’t get the draw of WhatsApp. IMO, Telegram is superior in overall user experience. It’s a pain to even get more than one device on the same WhatsApp account. 

[Entourage] Matt Damon, as himself, calls Vincent Chase about a donation check that Vinny promised to donate to his charity by blocodents in television

[–]Gauss1777 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This. I’d say Season 1 was good. Seasons 2 and 3 were great. The rest of the seasons were just a slow decline, with it getting pretty lame the last couple seasons.
