The “they catch fire” argument is fucking bonkers anyway.

If there’s one thing petrol cars are famous for, it’s being filled with flammable liquids that can and do leak everywhere and combust upon collision.

You can ignore them. Same with all the disingenuous cunts who complain about wind turbines “spoiling the view” who ignore the coal and gas power stations that have littered the skyline for over a century.

Isn’t this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?

Two bits of security software.

Makes me wonder if there’s been a concerted effort to hack these accounts, and some automated security process has locked them out.

If they think that will stop bombs, they’re very much mistaken.

Although I suspect the Iranian regime know that all too well, and that this will solidify people against the invaders. It’s hard to side with people who’ve just turned your family into mince.

Remember when we armed “Syrian Rebels” and then a few years later had to go and fight a suspiciously well armed ISIS?

The moon is about 1.3 light seconds away.

2600 ping is a lot, but people have likely played with worse. Just not very well.

Gonna be some serious ping times.

A10 goes BRRRRRRRRR.

That’s pretty much what a browser needs these days.

Look on the bright side, at least they don’t have to work for Larry fucking Ellison any more.

I’m not rallying against SSL. Just an example of browser warnings.

A big man in the middle attack service, operating in a hostile nation? What could go wrong?

Give them a few more years and every site except big social media will be flagged as dangerous in your browser, like those without valid SSL certs are now.

Sand, brown people, oil… What’s the difference between friends?

We (the UK) don’t need oil from the Strait of Hormuz. Most of that goes to Asian countries.

They’re far more likely just to pay Iran a nominal amount to keep it flowing.

The UK actually imports more from the US than anywhere else. We should stop propping up tinpot regimes, and buy from local friendly countries, or better still, just use a lot less of it.

Enough of that, it’s nearly time for the Two Minutes Hate!

Feels like something systemd can solve with a compile time flag. Either have it on or off depending on if you want to legally sell it in those areas or not and away you go.

Nah, it just needs a team of Indian guys to step in whenever the collision alarms go off.

Wow, that doesn’t sound like a pyramid scheme at all. At all.

Almost as if it’s one big gambling grift.
