I believe you’re mistaking my criticism of the article for support of Israel or the United States.

When I asked where you’re getting your info, that was a rhetorical question. The point of that was to show that the article that is linked in this thread is poorly written. I’ve read better OSINT analysis on Twitter threads.

Yes, radars were destroyed. No, there’s no analysis in the article to indicate that destroying these radars changed the course of war as they claim in the headline. This makes it a shitty article imo.

That’s not even in the article. The entire point I’m making is this is a poorly written article. Try again.

Where are you getting all that info? It isn’t in the article which is my entire point. Don’t mistake my criticism of the poorly written article as support of one side or the other.

If a radar was down you’d see missing coverage over a relatively large area, not random missiles getting through here and there. No, I don’t think it’s a reasonable conclusion, I think it’s a bad article.

I’m just saying “libertarian” isn’t a right wing thing. You’ve got left libertarians and right libertarians.

Does the headline say “may” or does it make an explicit claim?

Nothing in the article contradicts the headline, true. There’s also nothing in the article supporting it.

Right libertarians, yep.

Left libertarians are socialists who want to own guns.

It sucks that “libertarians” get lumped in with the US Libertarian Party, because the former isn’t restricted to right or left, just like authoritarianism isn’t restricted to the right or left. It’s a whole different axis of the political map.

The article’s headline isn’t supported by the text in the article.

The more worrisome reality is that gaps in Israel’s air defenses may be detection (rather than interception) failures resulting from damage to the radars and sensors that underlie the integrated air defense network shared by the United States, Israel, and Gulf partners. If true, the implications would be dire.

“May” and “if true” do not mean the radars that have been destroyed have changed the course of war as they claim in the headline.

I find it much more plausible that we’re simply seeing the effect of increased Iranian missile volume. Even if a system is successful 90% of the time, that’s still going to let through a lot of projectiles if the volume ramps up.

Anyone know where can I actually read what excerpts they released?

There are profile pics?

This isn’t any exaggeration: it has been demonstrated using statistical analysis

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.

Nah, this is wrong. Cassettes don’t sound like dogshit and most vintage decks sound great when properly calibrated.

Modern $20 Chinese portables sound like ass, I’ll give you that.

Oh, no doubt. Reel to reel is the ultimate analog media.

Incorrect. I have three NAD 6300s and a Nakamichi Dragon, and with metal tapes it’s transparent to digital. Shit even good type II nearly transparent. Tapes do not sound “dogshit”. Unlike vinyl, you can easily experiment with the many varieties of tape out there and master your own cassette recordings. It’s like rolling tubes in an analog amplifier. Yes, it’s not perfectly transparent to digital on a cheap type I tape, but the warmth of a high end type I rounds off some of the harshness of modern tracks. YMMV, it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s pretty fucking cool.

Cassettes are making a comeback much like vinyl but to a lesser extent. I’ve got 600 or so cassettes and probably 3/4 of them were made in the past 8 years.

There are 12 different serogroups of N. meningitidis and people are only vaccinated against the most prevalent ones. Even if you’re vaccinated you can still be infected by one of the less prevalent strains.

I REGRET EVERYTHING

I mean, it doesn’t really follow given the context. Nobody is talking about the visual sense, they’re talking about humanizing AI through using certain words, which isn’t paredolia.

Paredolia just means seeing patterns that aren’t there, it’s not implicitly human. If you see a dog in the clouds, that’s paredolia.

Nobody. Impermanence is a blessing, not a curse.
