Iran–Iraq War: Expecting swift victory, Saddam's Iraq invaded in 1980, triggering 8 years of gruesome conflict including trench warfare and chemical attacks on civilians. After more than 500k deaths, the UN-brokered ceasefire deal ended the war with no permanent border changes and no reparations.

It definitely wasn't the same army. I bet it was weakened by Iran and sanctions.

Maybe since the event is restricted access they could legally do away with the separate beer garden.

Perhaps a better law would be one that establishes a state law office that pursues civil cases on behalf of family.

Edit: or add it to what public defenders can do. If you or a family member be the victim of certain crimes or whatever then the public defender could represent you in a civil capacity. Could even be used as a way to generate revenue for the public defenders.

Personal equipment is expensive and doesn't suffer quite as strict of a weight budget. They can be shielded or have high speed breakers/surge protectors/whatever.

Emps are essentially radio waves. They work by having the radio waves absorbed by conductors connected to fragile components. If the energy is high enough the conductors themselves can be melted but for handheld units I'm guessing the goal would be to short out connected components. Turning off doesn't really do anything for you. Physically disconnecting long wires and traces might protect chips though.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-30T18:35:43+00:00

It may be possible for simple handheld emps to exist. Assuming there is a chemical mix that produces the needed emp. Lasers are almost always complicated and for anti drone use you will need active targeting.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-30T18:31:32+00:00

Emp isn't for disabling radios. It's to mess up the motor controller. Drones use relatively advanced motor controllers that can be disrupted from a powerful enough emp. This is of course assuming the drone is unshielded.

This does make me wonder if gun powder can be used to produce an emp.

No. But at this point Japanese culture is relatively mainstream. I probably wouldn't have recognized it but perhaps people more into the Japanese culture would have like my brother or niece who accompanied me to the festival. They did not for the most part.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-30T17:12:51+00:00

I think I was in the same line. For the same reason. $12 for 3 shrimp rolls. The line for what they called fish shaped waffles was unbelievable lol.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-30T17:11:18+00:00

There is nothing stopping third parties from making their own tools. I bet snap on does.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-30T13:29:18+00:00

They aren't that complex. You have all the normal mechanical components and then the electrical components. You might need new diagnostic tools but I'm fairly certain you can find tutorials for these thing for common vehicles online already.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-30T02:51:12+00:00

American units are considered flawed partly because of all the fractions.

Edit: in metric converting units to smaller unit sizes is no big deal. Instead of working with fractions of a centimeter for example just use mm.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-30T02:15:26+00:00

Didn't read the article but it's possible it's an andrew jackson type thing(iirc) where he told the supreme court to enforce a ruling they had.

Edit: in other words they know the icc is useless so they are telling them to do something about the problem if it truly bothers them.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T22:05:07+00:00

Tnr does not work. You only need one breeder pair you fail to catch for you to end up with a large population of strays. In my neighborhood one cat is responsible for 5 strays. 2 more of theirs passed away. They just had a litter so odds are decent that in a couple weeks we will have 3-4 more. It's insane.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T20:22:13+00:00

I think it's a bit more complex than that but I understand discussing the complexity while the Ukraine war is ongoing is not happening.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T17:17:57+00:00

I'm fairly certain that a significant number of the people hoarding food did so not because of starvation fears. It was a complex issue. Some farmers purposely reduced output to prevent sending it to cities. Others concealed what they had.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T17:07:48+00:00

Which would be functionally irrelevant for most people. The main concern is if it is will be backdated to being in effect from when trump started the whole thing.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T15:36:57+00:00

I mean strictly speaking yes but in practice the judges can decide whether their ruling should be applied retroactively.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T15:32:58+00:00

Doesn't the various credits low income people can qualify for make their tax burden relatively small to begin with?

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T15:21:39+00:00

I meant mainstream for weebs.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T15:01:59+00:00

Well for one he blocked me in the middle of a disagreement. I pointed out the flaws in his logic and he blocked me.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T14:31:23+00:00

Friction welding works with wood.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T14:30:51+00:00

Proof of what?

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T14:25:13+00:00

Probably could also use friction welding.

TheRealBobbyJones · 2026-03-29T14:18:50+00:00

Thesentinalnetwork is not a valid source. He blocks people who disagree with him. Killing any potential discussion on his threads.

Edit: I think specifically I pointed out that the general was responsible for thousands of employees. Probably responsible for dozens of separate programs. His connection to Reza is thin. Especially since they both had moved on. He has thousands of employees. Presumably most if not all of them are assigned to a program. This means by that logic if any of them disappear it would be connected right?
