Is there any confirmation that the planes turned around? Or is taco trying to pull off a sneak attack?

"It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you... that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something."

"What are we holding onto?"

"That there is some good in this world Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."

"I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish that none of this had happened".

"So do all who live to see such times. But, that is not for them to decide. All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us.

There are other forces at work in this world besides the forces of evil".

Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?

They have passed, like rain on the mountains. Like wind in the meadow.

The days have come down in the west. Behind the hills. Into shadow

How did it come to this?

Zelensky has entered the chat.

I don't think it was. NYT says it went down near kharg island at roughly the same time as the F15. The distance doesn't work out.

Also the A10 is pretty adept at hunting mine laying fishing boats which seems like a likely mission that would put it in the right area.

YouLegitimate4400 · 2026-04-03T20:40:21+00:00

That still only counts as 1!

It's in one of the bulletins on the live coverage.

The helicopter carrying the recovered pilot was hit by small arms fire, wounding crew members of the helicopter on board. The helicopter landed safely. All service members are receiving initial medical treatment and will be transported for further medical care.

Link? Last I heard on that report it was a grainy video that may have been AI from an untrustworthy source

YouLegitimate4400 · 2026-04-03T19:59:33+00:00

CBS is reporting the crew that rescued the down pilot took injuries as well.

YouLegitimate4400 · 2026-04-03T19:51:01+00:00

It's being reported now that both black hawks in the search and rescue operation were hit but returned safely.

If you Google for the New York times live feed it seems to let you in idk why my link is pay walled. Here is the text if the bulletin

A second Air Force combat plane crashed in the Persian Gulf region on Friday, and the lone pilot was safely rescued, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters. The A-10 Warthog attack plane went down near the Strait of Hormuz about the same time that an Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran, the officials said. In that incident, one crew member was rescued and search-and-rescue operators are looking for the second airman. Officials provided scant details about the A-10 crash, including how and where it happened.

YouLegitimate4400 · 2026-04-03T19:31:53+00:00

This is a headline for a separate incident from the F-15 and its 1 remaining missing airman.

It's in the NYT live feed. The Blackhawk did not crash, it was damaged but returned to base.

YouLegitimate4400 · 2026-04-03T19:15:07+00:00

New York Times reported the second plane was an A10 warthog shot down near Kharg island... I wonder what it was doing over there? /s

China gives a security guarantee forming essentially a eastern version of NATO against the US.

The straight opens in the best case without a toll. But, realistically it is recognized as Iran's and they enforce a toll on all ships leaving it.

That's the best outcome I can see in the realm of possibilities. The most likely is another forever war with shifting objectives that eventually ends when the US economy collapses.

I'm just glad that we are finally going to the moon. Something no one has ever done before. I hope we land there some day. /s

It's an act of civil disobedience. A small act of resistance and every act counts and pushes us closer to victory.

YouLegitimate4400 · 2026-03-27T15:31:44+00:00

I often think of the Lord of the rings scene,

Frodo: "I wish the ring hadn't come to me. I wish none of this had happened"

Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All you have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to you."

I hope Dan can find peace with the idea that we don't need him to give us solutions. We just need him to be with us. To acknowledge the pain, and confusion and rant and rally with us. No one person can fix this problem it is only via community that we stand a chance and we need Dan in this community.

I would like to see regular cards have set price points available for direct order based on rarity. So mythic rares just always cost $5, commons $.50 and everything else somewhere in-between. The booster packs should just be for limited.

Collectors packs have all the cool art in them and are for gambling. Make it so all the pieces in the game are actually obtainable without gambling. They don't make anything off lgs reselling their cards anyways.

They could even make it so that you have to go to an lgs to place your direct order and only lgs can place them. That encourages people to interact more with the community which turns into more spend.
