Well yeah, he already ordered police to fire rubber coated steel slugs at press and protesters in Washington, killing and maiming several US citizens.

I don't think Russia's first target if they ever manage to attack deeper into Europe will be France, the nation with "nuclear warning shot" in their nuclear weapons doctrine.

Should Iran near a critical threshold again, unspoken measures may come into play — ones with potentially irreversible consequences.

What is this vague dramatic tension referring to?

The school principal asked the kitchen staff to buy the paint online

officers had to search for the supplies which had been hidden.

The paint was clearly marked as inedible

I'm amazed if a single person employed at this school is not going to prison.

Keep in mind he is literally a child of the unprivileged commoners, so poking at his origins or genetics is not "punching up". His mom is from a lower class family with drug and alcohol abuse problems, and she had him before meeting the prince.

Just poke at his personality or actions. There's plenty there.

Yeah but they don't have to also *inhale* his farts.

Guess the "Free Speech Absolutist" in charge of Twitter was too busy heiling hitler to step in huh.

This is what I have been hoping LLMs would provoke since the beginning.

Testing understanding via asking students to parrot textbooks with changed wording was always a shitty method, and one that de-incentivizes deep learning:

It allows for teachers that do not understand their field beyond a superficial level to teach, and to evaluate. What happens when a student given the test question "Give an intuitive description of an orbit in your own words" answers by describing orbital mechanics in a relative frame instead of a global frame, when the textbook only mentions global frame? They demonstrate understanding beyond the material which is *excellent* but all they do is risk being marked down by a teacher who can't see the connection.

A student who only memorized the words and has the ability to rearrange them a bit, gets full marks no risk.

This comment is uninformed and I appreciate any corrections or education:

I thought Iran already had nukes, so the attack made no sense: Attacks on nuclear weapons facilities are prettly much "launch nukes" in any nuclear doctrine in any nuclear country.

But apparently they have just been working on them, and are allegedly a few weeks off from making their first?

It still seems like a suicidal move. Attacks on production typically slows or delays, but won't delete or reverse anything. Iran hurrying up the programme and going on full nuke alert ready to fire if a bird in the sky twitches wrong seems like a very possible outcome.

Remember media bubbles are different in different countries.

The nordic media are pretty intensely hostile to Israel already and have been for years.

Harming a famous swede on a clear peaceful mission would go nuclear.

I wish we'd stop allowing them to be referred to as "rubber bullets", which sounds sorta safe.

These things are metal slugs that break bones and rupture organs. They can crush your skull and kill you outright:

They are "fucking with" NATO, historically, but not attack. Lots of "im not touching you im not touching you" on the borders and north sea. Military submarines where they are not supposed to be. Sudden declarations of artillery practice in international waters causing ship travel to reroute, then not actually doing practice...

Nuclear is less expensive and more scalable than solar, wind, hydro.

It does not boil the planet like fossil fuels.

Yes it takes time and money to set up, but that's a short term cost.

This is assumed to be widely known, so critical questions that don't take that into account are assumed to be either in bad faith or laziness.

"Thorny problem of waste disposal" is such a shitty phrase. The alternatives of coal and oil have more damaging waste disposed straight out into the atmosphere. We just don't demand shit from those industries, while nuclear needs to be beyond perfect to be an alternative.

This is a civilian airport.

The fuck is a terror strike "pro-Palestine news!" ???

That's a civilian airport and a terror attack. Claiming this is "pro" anything is not ok.
