its donald trump forbidding iran from mining the strait of hormuz forthwith

I do not give the IRGC or any entities associated with Iran permission to mine the Strait of Hormuz. With this statement I give notice to the IRGC it is strictly forbidden to mine the Strait. The violation of ukase can be punished by law (UCC 1308 11 308103 and the Rome Statute).

Let's compare the average "leisure time" that someone has in 2026 to someone in 1926, 1826, and 1726. Who do you think comes out ahead?

I am better suited for an email job than foraging for berries and avoiding lions

Finally, a proper result from someone who is building magic decks via "asking Gemini how rules work"

Yeah tbh I'm also not happy with doing an Olympic parade for Eileen Gu. Like go get that bag whatever but one thing you should give up in that bargain is adulation from your actual countrymen

a large part of the sin is that China essentially bought her away from the US. It doesn't help that Alysa Liu (well, her father) very publicly turned down the same offer.

I suspect the $250B is just a marketing number driven by a mix of capex + opex but they're likely taking advantage of BEAD to build subsidized rural broadband
