I know this is a grave moment of international crisis, but saying "Iran can't do that, it would be suicide!" is the funniest thing ever. If the heads of the Iranian government, the US military, Hezbollah, and Israel heard someone say that they'd no shit call each other to laugh about it together.

Go for it!

i heard they've been sending each other Stephen Bush's tweets

I used sentinel 1 images then automatically counted a rough estimate of ships in the strait, thereby avoiding issues with AIS.

already locked in, i think.

Also selective grammar, followed by Durham.

‘As long as you leave the country’

No, lol

Unironically one of the safest possible routes.

Air NZ looking quite shaky!

Dw, it won’t matter.
The airlines are a few days from running out of money.

‘He looks like everyone I’ve ever met in Wisbech.’
‘Oh he has your nose,’ says Nyika

Thank you!! Will get around to it eventually ^^

Watching countryfile.
They’re in Wisbech St Mary.
…interviewing a third cousin.

Gonna be honest, I’m somewhat sad Iran couldn’t find a totally different and unrelated Ayatollah whose name was also extremely close to the prior guys

. It's easier to dismiss Kant than to dismiss the implications of his essay, once taken seriously. The absurdity in this example underscores buth the depth and the scope of contingency. Maturity is a theme and a goal of all Kant's philosophy; accepting one's limits is always a part of ll, as well as of commoner demands for growing up. The last essay hints that not even maturity is an option, for there seem to be no limits w the limits of our power. We can give up dreams of revolution, settle down to plant a garden with our friends. What's to stop a mad assassin hom breaking into it? What ensures safe access to the escape route devised to avoid him? As there is no limit to our lack of power, so there is no limit to the number of things that can go wrong. Meditating on them can be a recipe for comedy, or for paralyzing sorts of neurosis, but they are no less numerous for the fact that living successfully requires us to forget them. successful lives, like maturity, seemed to depend on moderation. This was urged by Greek thinkers, like Socrates, whom Nietzsche Islared for the death of tragedy and the birth of a world that eschews bull tragedy and fairy tale. It's a world where Oedipus and Jocasta out to be first cousins once removed, and are free to grow fat and Dured together. Instead of the plague that ravished Thebes, their reign heralds nothing worse than a rise in unemployment and a decline in lic NP. The point is not that such a world is unimaginable. Nothing could be easier to imagine. The problem is that even should Oedipus choose to seek it, its realization is not in his hands. Small dreams are no surer to come true than great ones, and either can become nightmare in the blink of an eye. Recognizing one's limits seems a form of fair trade: it we withdraw some of our claims on the world, surely those remaining will be met.

It's a world where Oedipus and Jocasta turn out to be first cousins once removed, and are free to grow fat and bored together. Instead of the plague that ravished Thebes, their reign heralds nothing worse than a rise in unemployment and a decline in the GNP.

Realised that there’s a non zero chance I’m a cautionary tale among the undergrads

Oh no

Nyika points out that there were drownings five minutes up the road at the lake. And on the other beaches 5k up and down the coast.

I am generalising wildly about the French national character, of course. And I am unfamiliar with that of New Zealand, but…

Horrific rip tides on the west coast, this is it being relatively calm. Note the bafflingly multiple directions of the incoming tide
