Technically they’re (mutated) terrapins (specifically red-eared terrapins).

Damn kids, in my day turtles lived in the sewer eating pizza and doing ninjutsu.

No, they turned their AIS on on the far side of the strait to prove they’d transited, they left AIS off while they transited, presumably so as not to give Iran an easy shot if they decided to attack.

Iran claimed (on state media i.e. likely for internal consumption) they successfully turned back the destroyers but the AIS track on the inside of the gulf would seem to bring that claim into question.

Iran claims it launched a drone at them - they also claim they turned the ships back despite the evidence to the contrary (I.e. two destroyers on the inside of the gulf that weren’t there before).

Iirc adding -vulkan to the game options worked for me, might be worth a shot.

To quote some youtuber I recently watched:

Hank Green?

From what I understand they’ve been basically estranged for several years and certainly she’s been enjoying the world’s least secret affair with her chief of staff since at least 2021 so I’m a bit wary of assigning her political positions to him.

Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?

*According to Iran and even then they just say that he “has accepted these principles as the basis for negotiations”. AFAIK the only conditions the US had acknowledged is the opening of the strait.

This ain’t over yet and you (and the internet in general) really need to be less ready to swallow whole whatever Iran says just because they don’t like Trump either.

I’m still not convinced, has anyone ever seen them in the same room together?

So, it uses the fact that bash allows functions with non-alphanumeric names, in this case it defines a function called :. If we rename that to, for example bomb it becomes a little clearer:

bomb(){ bomb | bomb& };bomb

This defines a function that calls itself piped into a version of itself in a separate, background, process (that’s what the & does) and then calls that function. Calling itself means the function never ends (it’s essentially a recursive version of an infinite loop) and the extra background process that is created each time it’s called means that it just keeps exponentially creating new processes that don’t exit and each of which infinitely forks off more processes until the OS runs out of resources (unless you use ulimit to set per-session/per-user process limits - this may even be done by default on some distros these days, it’s been a while since I looked)

Anyone who is currently alive does not count.

Unless I’ve missed the good news he’s not eligible

I’d put a vote in for Lavrentiy Beria, he’s basically “but what if Stalin had also been a serial rapist”

Yeah, you have to strap it around the chin to stop it falling off when you live your life upside down.

And my axe!

F-16s flew a little over 13,000 sorties during Desert Storm with fewer losses and (importantly) a higher mission success rate. Also Chuck Horner was on record as saying that he kept A-10s away from anywhere the Iraqi Republican Guard was operating as they had access to actually functional air defenses that would have shredded the A-10s.

Basically A-10 pilots bragging about Desert Storm is like someone being sent to go wrestle some toddlers and coming back with a bloodied nose and broken bones and bragging about how tough and resilient they were not to have bled out.

Not to mention it is no longer 1991 and the A-10 is even less useful on a modern battlefield.

Extremely rare.

Not really, A10s have the highest loss rate of any post-Vietnam US aircraft.

That wouldn’t solve anything - Europe doesn’t actually get much oil through Hormuz, the issue is that the closure raises global oil prices regardless of where they come from. This isn’t a situation individual countries can carve out exceptions for themselves from - hence why the worst affected by this will be poor countries that had fuck all to do with Trump’s decision to fuck everyone over. And why America as a whole needs to start sorting its shit out for everyone’s sake and stop just telling the rest of the world to ignore Trump if he’s being a pain like he’s a doddery old relative and not the commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world.

gives a private US corporation the power to cripple their subs.

You, umm, probably shouldn’t look up who maintains the trident missiles those subs carry…
