As a Brit, I'm disgusted that Starmer is allowing UK bases to be used by the US for launching attacks. I can see it being just a matter of time before Starmer drags us into another war of lies. (Last time it was Tony Blair, also a Labour leader and he still hasn't been tried for his war crimes).

A UK base was attacked. Would you rather Starmer be the next Chamberlain?

That attack looks like a false flag operation to me. Also, as already stated, Iran is not the aggressor - that would be Trump with his Fifa Peace Prize.

The school was hit 3 times by precision rockets. The compound of the school physically separated from the military buildings since 10 years. Clearly visible on sat pictures. Trump's reaction? It could have been anyones Tomahawks missiles. Is that where your information comes from, that there was a missile launcher next to it? Oh and are you aware that Trump once said he will intentionally kill the families of terrori…

I agree with you, but i want to also ask, have you heard what the ayatollah and the mullahs have said about killing Americans, dismembering protestors, raping children, nuking the United States. Have you heard the protestors mowed down by machine guns, have you heard they make you buy the body of your loved ones for the cost of the bullet, assigning that value to their life, have you heard that they literally living…

Have you heard what people like Ben-Gvir say?

I think that if you start an unjustified war of agression against a country and you kill 150 children, you should be held responsible

What if it happens as a result of trying to hold someone worse responsible?

you keep your own moral integrity

Held responsible by whom? Certainly not you.

history? people with moral integrity?

The real dangers to peace in the Middle East are America, Israel and historically the British, because these three are the bastards that toppled Iran's democracy and lead them to such a defensive posture in the first place. With the utmost respect, kindly blow your judeo-american sanctions out your ass. America should have NOTHING to do with Iran whatsoever, we don't have any moral right to intervention here.

It’s impossible to take anyone seriously who dismisses the threat of developing a nuclear weapon with intent to use it. Sponsoring and funding global terror networks is not a “defensive posture”. Giving speeches about nuking your enemy while secretly developing those capabilities isn’t either.

lets see... what country in the region actually has nuclear weapons? Could it be the same country that is conducting genocide in Gaza, displacing hundreds of thousands in Lebanon, and allowing settlers to do pogroms in the west bank?

> Ok, I did win. Do I get cheaper gasoline now? Yes, in 10 years. Because even though gas prices go up hour by hour they take years to ever so slowly drift down.

In 10 years you should be driving an EV anyway.

I could've sworn I saw a comment like this in 2016 when Tesla was blowing up

Added double click feature

Double clicking on a tile doesn't seem to do anything different than a single click (Firefox on macOS)

Oh, I see - double clicking only works when you have already marked the correct number of adjacent mines. I didn't remember that's how it worked in the original.

I also never knew it was called "chording", that's worth an explanation.

> human suffering, unfortunately, does not motivate Americans like gas prices do. Absolutely right. It also makes sense most people will care about something tangible like gas prices than the lives of other people half way across the world. But this doesn't mean that half way across the world there isn't something truly urgent that needs dealing with. I honestly don't know what will come of this war but I do know wit…

> But to truly and fully understand this[,] people need to put a real effort and research the region. The US defense apparatus has been doing just this for quite some time. And netunyahoo has been saying Iran is 'weeks away' from having nukes for 30 years, now. Opinion? israel has some real juicy stuff on trump, and he's doing his best to not get the information released by doing netun's bidding. I am thoroughly appa…

I think it’s less blackmail and more the Israeli government has learned it can simply act and expect the US to back them up to save face. Rubio admitted as much with his initial statements after we attacked Iran. Netanyahu can currently reliably expect the US military to back up its foreign policy with or without buy in ahead of time.

The EV market share and outlook looks a bit different now (depending on the market).
