Back in the 80s there were still alfalfa fields in north San Jose close to our semiconductor fab. During a drought year our fab installed a water recycling system, then our CEO would brag that we used less water than the alfalfa field. Our revenue was 10s of millions, the field earned about $10K

A ladder placed safely on the ground. Five black cats sit upon the ladder like they're in some kind of children's story about black cats. The text reads: Friday the 13th when you always land on your feet. If you are not a cat: Place your ladder on a firm, flat surface. Always have a spotter.

Before the US gets too confident about its naval superiority in the Persian Gulf area, it ought to look at where Russia's Black Sea Fleet is. Ukraine had no navy at all.

a small annoyance with all of the discussion around AI and how it will change software dev that i *personally* have is that a lot of people in software engineering seem to *only now* be acknowledging that there is more to work than technical skill.

The stages of losing a war:
1. Start a war with no agreed war aims
2. Never plan using available data (eg 50 years of work on Hormuz scenario)
3. Spout data with little relevance to the conflict (eg ships, a/c sunk)
4. Disregard adverse reports
5. Cast aspersions on the messenger: now
6. Next: lie

IRGC mythmaking? First time I face that one. .As Clausewitz used to say, undesrstanding the nature of a war is of the essence. Believing that this war is about rhe number of C-130s hit and Iranian warships sunk by the US is a Trumpian mistake. Just saying

Growing concern in EU capitals that Trump is going to pressure the EU to clear up his mess in the Strait of Hormuz. Argument being: “You guys need the oil most, so you need to do the heavy lifting” on mine sweeping, naval-based air defence & the protection of shipping lanes

An informational poster showing a cat in a hazmat suit holding biohazards tape over some lilies. The tape reads "easter lilies kill lilies" additional blurbs read "Grooming pollen off their fur can lead to poisoning." & "Eating less than one leaf or flower can cause kidney failure!" & "Keep Easter Lilies out of Your Home If You Have Cats!"
