American Intellectual property laws have been inadequate and damaging to everyone except Disney since Sonny Bono extended their effects to 70 years past the death of the author. It’s important to point out that original copyright length was ~7 years. This is just another example of IP laws needing to catch up to the digital age, and not be an excuse for capitalist dragons to horde all of human knowledge away behind licensing fees.

The solutions exist and the USA has been aware of those solutions since they invented nuclear power in the 50’s. Unfortunately Capitalism doesn’t allow long-term planning so almost every time a long-term storage solution has been proposed, or ever funded, a few elections later it get’s defunded to the praised of misguided environmentalists and the green-washing fossil fuel lobby.

The one I know about the most was Yucca Mountain which got defunded. But at least WiPP is back open. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Isolation_Pilot_Plant

Sure, but that basically means there are approximately zero countries hosting US Armed forces that would try to kick them out just because Iran was launching rockets at those forces.

Wireshark is the wrong tool for the job unless you are only interested in the destination IPs, but those are useless to most people because malware and PUPs are hosted on public cloud services or rarely hijacked insecure endpoints, so what value is a source IP going to get you? For example most ‘suspicious’ traffic is from your cell phone and some app is phoning home over TLS, with ‘home’ being an elastic IP in AWS.

Probably more likely that those countries will support Iranian leaders getting replaced with people who won’t shoot missiles into their air space.

You realize all power plants are a “target” right?

Like most things on the internet it’s a game of one-upsmanship. User X uses Firefox with Incognito. User Y say’s that isn’t good enough for his own inconsistent definition of “good enough.”
So User-Y suggests Firefox with 14 different add-ons and only browse through an immutable VM. But then user-z comes along and says that if you are using windows at all, you don’t really care about privacy, so you should be using Icefox on some obscure fork of ubuntu through an immutable VM, with a pi-hole.
Then user-w says well if you aren’t using a VPN none of this matters, so Obviously you need to rent an Alibaba cloud server hosted in China, that you only connect to through a privacy respecting VPN, and then you only browse through TOR.

And so on. By the time a user is asking about how to stop google ads, the only “serious” answer by the community involves using Packet over Ham-radio -> and spending thousands of dollars a month on 4 different cloud providers, rented through several shell companies set up in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and China, while only typing in Esperanto using an ASCII-only font.

Whether Hudson’s theory is correct or not, breaking up Iran is obviously something that will take place over multiple administrations. What Trump has done, directly attack Iran, is just the start. Gulf War 1 was 12years before Iraq was actually overthrown.

“Dirty” Bombs are just weapons of terror, the radiation is extremely localized. It would be absolutely pointless for a nation-state to use them. If you want to say that Iran would give Isis/Hamas one, I guess it’s possible, but equally pointless. You aren’t going to scare Israel away with a dirty bomb.

The photo should just be an Israeli flag.

Iran doesn’t have the capability to conduct an “all-out war across the region.” The are going to condemn the attack, launch another couple hundred missiles at Israel, and then hope that the US and Israel get bored and stop.

No one except liberals attempts to classify individual arms based on some inconsistent and dubious concepts of “magnitude of lethality” that is related to the prowess of a user wielding such a weapon.

Literally all of them. Even the US with all of it’s intentional violence has had Car Deaths as the number cause of death for children below 18 for a while.

🙄 In which we equate Nuclear weapons with individual arms. It’s the mental equivalent of assuming Communism means you have to share your tooth brush.

i started to respond but there are so many things wrong with your inane hypothetical i quit a couple paragraphs in. just fucking light up some neurons

Yikes. It took you multiple paragraphs before you understood how goddamn reactionary the Austrian response is. And while you understand it’s wrong, you refuse to accept it. Liberal to the core. Please do not vote again for everyone’s sake.

Yikes. Normalizing exotic scenarios. My daughter is afraid of thunder, a much more logical and reasonable fear. Any kid that is afraid of going to school because maybe someone will be on the news is a victim of abuse. If you can’t trust your fellow man, you can’t be trusted to participate in society.

Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason),

Why? Who is abusing their kids by trying to convince them that they should be afraid of school?

Do you think that the average person is a killer but the only thing that stops them are the tools they have available?

So it turns out that Iranian air-defenses were even weaker then reported, and their massive response after launching 400+ missiles, was 9 confirmed hits. Meanwhile the latest threat about a memorable strike was wishcasting by the supreme leader.

What a joke. Iran will be the regional whipping boy until the regime changes, or the US collapses. Not sure which will happen first.

If there is no reason for them anymore, because there aren’t cars as a form of private transportation then hell yea I’m on board.
