Just watched Guy Ritchieโ€™s โ€œThe Gentlemenโ€ again, and it is much better the second time around.
(I understood the plot threads this time.)

If theyโ€™re not going to call it a war, then I guess it is a Special Military Operation. And we know how those turn out.

FWIW, my MBP is a 2015 (Intel). It still works fine, but this year it will be replaced with a new Apple Silicon M5. So my daily (long term) operating strategy is quite similar to yours.

Kermit Roosevelt Jr. - Wikipedia

That presidentโ€™s grandson had an extraordinary experience interacting with Iran in the 50s, and really bent the arc of history up to the resent day:

Similar situation so I relaxed with a 2021 refurbished iMac Pro. Itโ€™s not new, but it is 27โ€ and from a reputable reseller. And better than its predecessor.

Didnโ€™t the CIA install a Pahlavi as shah once before? How did that work out?

This isnt true. Iโ€™ve seen other ppl saying it & itโ€™s wrong. Iran consistently intervened against Trump. That part was true.

The point of having the fake Proud Boys make threats was to get news coverage of a false flag of Trump supporters making threats.

In 2022 it boosted left candidates.

Deterministic โ€œlinearโ€ software, yes. Agentic โ€œnon-linearโ€ software can take unpredictable paths to unpredictable outcomes. And with no sense of ethics, risk, or actual outcome.

Events of the past three days have shown that not even the Supreme Court can stop the Current Occupant from doing pretty much whatever he wants.

Recent research published in Nature shows that frequent launches pollute the upper atmosphere. Assume that the aerosols from returning space vehicles burning up would cause additional upper atmosphere pollution.
