I know that everyone here hates the âDonald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas pricesâ messaging but âDonald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas pricesâ is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

By the Israeli's own admission, recent negotiations were a ruse and there was never interest in a deal. Iran, per Oman, was willing to swear off enriched uranium stockpiling, which is essentially what America wants. The point of the war is to wage war.

Time and again, the story of the successful resistance to Trumpâs authoritarianism is in the strength and courage of individuals, often at great personal risk, set against marked cowardice by institutions and elected officials in positions of actual power.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue. The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea. From Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt:

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

So-there's going to be a "a report, in writing, setting forth the circumstances necessitating the introduction of US Armed Forces, the constitutional & legislative authority under which such introduction took place; and the estimated scope and duration of the hostilities" w/n 48 hours.

As a tech lawyer who works on a *lot* of software contracts, I'd point out that if you add restrictions like these to an agreement without assuring both technical feasibility and independent auditability, then all you've written is a termination for convenience clause with extra steps.
