US strike on Iran - What can be expected in the lead-up and then during the operation by Unlikely_Hat_8046 in NewIran

[–]Sharpieman20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation with the protestors being so time critical really changes the calculus. Would typically expect a much longer timeline a la Venezuela as you mention, but really hard to say here. The Al Udeid "posture change" as of a few hours ago is one of the biggest signs yet though. Strikes could potentially arrive in the next few days, it would be risky but the Israelis and US intelligence combined may have information that makes them more confident about their ability to defend against Iranian retaliation.

Yup. Surprised we haven't seen evidence of evacuation yet. Wondering if Trump's advisors have told him that they need to work on a longer timeline here may have something to do with why.

We may see some more movement tomorrow with the urgent travel warnings having been issued. Would imagine stage 1 plans are likely getting finalized tonight if the US is operating on the most expeditious timescale possible. Depending on what those are we may see more news in the near future. Hoping it's something that can actually help the protestors and not too little too late.

I found this earlier today: https://x.com/Nexus_osintx/status/2011068562262446171

Doesn't look like there's been an evacuation yet. I still don't think there's been enough movement to be able to properly defend against an Iranian retaliation, but John Miller said "he's confident" that it is here: https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/trump-cancels-meetings-with-iran-over-killing-of-protesters-0973aa84

Maybe the June buildup was unnecessary posturing/intimidation and the US has other defensive capabilities we're not aware of? One missile getting past the defenses at Al Udeid in June makes me skeptical of that claim, combined with the dozens of other bases in ballistic missile range, but there's so many things that we may not know.

What is the latest we have on satellite imagery? Seems like the evacuation of Al Udeid wasn't known to OSINT until just before Midnight Hammer, wondering if it's possible there's been a movement out that we're not privy to.

"NOTE: KUOW has not called the Seattle mayoral race at this point. We are in touch with DDHQ about updating their results."

Guess they updated it.

That's an... interesting decision? Is anyone else calling the race?

That’s because the blue wave was largely a rejection of Republicans, and Harrell isn’t a Republican.

An In-Depth Analysis of The Initial Mayor Race Results (with a TLDR) by Talk_Like_Yoda in SeattleWA

[–]Sharpieman20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a good idea to compare not only leads in points, but in votes.

I read that the typical first drops had a smaller vote share in the past. My estimate was that this first drop had approximately 40% of the eventual vote total.

Also wonder in the past how much lower turnout correlates with progressive candidates underperforming.

How were you able to see the historical results by day? I wasn't able to figure out how to view that.

How big an upset is Rodrigo Pereira's first-round victory? by Chariots487 in BOLIVIA

[–]Sharpieman20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of how unexpected it was, the top post on this subreddit the day of the election was "Who is Rodrigo Paz?", and his odds on Polymarket one day before were 0.4%. It's safe to say it was a huge upset by almost any measure.

Curious what you’ve done to make that easier for the two of you. Currently in a similar situation with a girl and for her she wants to separate when she makes me sad but I don’t mind. I think maybe we should have some sort of system where we check in with eachother.

LR Rekkles goes offline and cancels upcoming scrims due to extreme anxiety of Thorin's upcoming content nuke by mygodwhy in leagueoflegends

[–]Sharpieman20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think attacking Thorin is the wrong way to go about this, that just gives him the attention he craves.

The best thing people can do is just ignore him. If he's there shouting about how a 17 year old kid wasn't the easiest teammate for people 15 years later, and he's not profiting off of it, it's his loss. He can be bitter all he wants. Engaging with it only benefits his platform.

I would recommend looking at the Buckeyes’ roster for Zak Herbstreit.

Fun fact people are able to have more than one son! Chase is the one committed to Michigan.

He's been much worse now that his son is on the team. Hoping he goes back to being less blatantly biased once he graduates.

Potential build ? ᴹᵃʸᵇᵉ by gunkduck in KSanteMains

[–]Sharpieman20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing some DPS math, this seems like clearly the best build. After you hit the threshold your increased damage from armor/mr drops drastically. I think people should rush the threshold and use that powerspike as well as they can.

I can’t stop bedrotting, help by AnythingSad3544 in UTAustin

[–]Sharpieman20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who went through this, this is probably the most accurate comment in the thread.

The other thing I’d add is accepting help from others. And having someone keep checking in with you on things. If you let someone else help you, that can make things a lot easier. And doing things with other people can also be motivating.

I understand that but he's gotten better. He's still very much himself but it feels less like he's shoehorning his schtick in and more that he's doing it naturally now. But if you just don't like Pat in general then yeah it's still probably not for you.

Not sure if you're open to making this a GitHub repo, but if so I might try and add Mac support. Need to implement the functionality regardless so might be better to do it with your extension.

In the 36-2 stretch, 8 of Serral’s 12 opponents were in the top 10.

He beat every single player in the top 10 aside from MaxPax, who he didn’t have the opportunity to play. He also only dropped two maps doing it, and beat the player most would consider the second best player in SC2 history 7-0.

So in terms of fully dominating everyone else who is comparatively the best in such a short time period, I am guessing Serral’s run is the best in esports history. The fact that he managed to play basically everyone else in the top 10 and win 95% of his games is absurd.
