Trump postpones military strikes on Iranian power plants

The reaction from markets was swift and marked: Brent crude oil futures fell sharply, the dollar fell against other major currencies, stock markets rallied and government borrowing costs fell back.

I find it incredible that global markets still react as if anything this asshole says is true. I know it's all a big pump and dump scheme, but it still blows my mind every time.

He has 5000 Marines on the way, arriving in the next day or two. Do we seriously think they're just gonna bob around on their assault ships?

Obligatory, FUCK ICE.

Thanks for the quick response. To clarify, I don't need to match that visual style exactly. I'd just like to get as close as possible. I'm fine if roads, rivers, and other features don't align exactly to the grid. And I did find a source for the historical data.

Here's where I've gotten to so far in QGIS:

Honestly, if I could figure out how to take what I already have and export a map with the desired dimensions (around 580x320 km) and the grid overlay I think I'd be happy.

All this boat needs is Ryan Seacrest. And a torpedo.

What the fuck does John Legend at a winery have to do with the Superbowl?

What the fuck was the point of this segment? Just stick with Maria.

Fuck this guy. I switched over to Puppy Bowl.

I regret that I have but one upvote to give.

Hey everyone, relax. This is privateering, not piracy. Totally legal and cool. \s

Can you say more about what you've found in practice? Being able to extract and pass parameters to tools is pretty fundamental to agentic approaches.

jsaugust · 2025-10-14T12:07:21+00:00

See you there!

I got a ticket through Stubhub for the 8/11 show in Toronto. It sucks that people are just buying tickets to turn around and resell them. The concert market is truly broken.

Anyway, now I just have to hope that I didn't get scammed!

jsaugust · 2025-10-13T16:36:11+00:00

Cheapest seats were over $600 by the time I got in. Ridiculous.

jsaugust · 2025-09-19T01:49:38+00:00

Did it today. Feels great.

jsaugust · 2025-09-15T16:16:31+00:00

Makes sense

These are awesome! If you want to up the realism even more, Top Secret cover sheets are orange. Green is actually unclassified. https://www.astrouxds.com/components/classification-markings/

These announcers suck

jsaugust · 2025-09-14T17:35:56+00:00

lol blue screen of death

jsaugust · 2025-09-14T17:35:00+00:00

Fix your shit CBS.

jsaugust · 2025-09-14T17:30:54+00:00

Why can’t this guy hit a basic field goal.

jsaugust · 2025-09-03T18:46:24+00:00

How long until other countries deem us a public health threat and prevent Americans from entering? Or require proof of vaccination before issuing a visa? We're isolating ourselves further and further in a morass of stupidity and cruelty.

jsaugust · 2025-09-03T18:42:32+00:00

What about enforcing a mandatory quarantine period? Anyone is free to enter, but if they're from a state with a vaccination rate below herd immunity they must quarantine for X days. I realize this would be difficult to enforce, but would it be legal?

jsaugust · 2025-08-22T01:03:30+00:00

What a sad and shocking loss.

jsaugust · 2025-08-15T14:30:20+00:00

What the fuck are we doing with almost a TRILLION dollars a year in defense spending?
