Billion
By Catie Edmondson
(New York Times) -- In a Capitol Hill briefing, officials gave their most
comprehensive assessment of the cost of the first six days of the war, but the
number omitted several aspects of the operation.
Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on
Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded
$11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with
the briefing.
The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation,
such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first
strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as
the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first
week.
Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had
received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time
frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported
earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the
military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war.
That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly
disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that
the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each
day.
The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide
bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreihcsjdum2q7hdoyqqbb5x6nhtiw3ldqmxfeuf6dutasyn2xyeecni)

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.

There is something endearing about how English will pepper in some French just to sound fancy even after all these centuries
“roots in the renaissance” is an accurate way to describe an everyday french word normally used to describe how much pie you’d like and using to sound fancy I guess

lol how mad I got about this made me realize an incredible bit would be to have a live congressional hearing where someone prompts AI to write a new revelation in the style of the bible
That‘a also the only one that tripped me up and it’s funny because I am currently reading the Demon Haunted World and actually finding it feels weirdly off tonally from his other books
jacking a dead author’s style from books that are all about the tiny fraying threads that bind us to our dead, yeesh
Maybe it’s because I read
Wolf Hall religiously or because I have a Hilary Mantel quote tattooed on my body but I find this viscerally upsetting. Over and over again in those books Cromwell finds little traces of his beloved dead when he turns a page and sees their writing
…this feels insane, because they clearly prompted it to write in the style of these specific authors??? The first quote is AI doing Wolf Hall, the second is actual Wolf Hall. like what do you mean “which one reads better” the shittier version couldn't even exist at all without the real

I am honestly surprised Louis XIV never thought of this bit. Publicly gifting your nobility shoes that don’t fit that they’re forced to wear in front of you and be slowly driven insane by discomfort as you make them constantly express their gratitude. plus they literally can’t sneak up on you
