  • Once they do? Stuxnet was what, 2010? And because of the coding error that caused it to spread outside the enrichment plant it was found out and only set them back something like 2 years.

    From AP:

    Iran, after the collapse of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, has pursued nuclear enrichment just below weapons-grade levels. Tehran has accumulated enough enriched uranium to build several weapons if it chooses. However, U.S. intelligence agencies and others assess that Iran has yet to begin a weapons program.

    Iran is “presenting a face which is not entirely transparent when it comes to its nuclear activities. Of course this increases dangers,” Grossi said. “There’s loose talk about nuclear weapons more and more, including in Iran recently.

    Since 2022, Iranian officials have spoken openly about something long denied by Tehran as it enriches uranium at its closest-ever levels to weapons-grade material: the Islamic Republic is ready to build an atomic weapon at will. That includes Kamal Kharrazi, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who told Al Jazeera that Tehran has the ability to build nuclear weapons but does not intend to do so.

  • Yeah dude is sticking to his story but searching someones name isn't how you find CSAM. Funny it happened the first time he used tor too 🙄 searching a person's name on DuckDuckGo.

    OP for the sake of this earth I hope you're young. Please don't do that again. Don't bother trying to change my mind, I'm not going to believe you, just don't do it again.

    Edit: In fact just delete this thread, because now you're admitting (probably not via tor) you viewed CSAM. If you keep looking at it, then you will eventually get caught, and your name will be on an inmate search website. They put their top guys and girls on 2 things: child abuse onions which is where they use the serious 0days to catch everyone, and drug markets.

  • Every time I see people with arch issues complaining and saying they need their arch support shoes the orthopedic surgeon inside me wants to claw out.

    You need to exercise your arches, not walk on crutches until the problem is so bad you need physical therapy.

    Bare the barefoot. They'll improve. Your heel pain is likely related directly to your arch issues as you're putting more weight than necessary on your heels.

    Disclaimer: I'm not actually doctor of anything, I've just been running a long time and constantly hear about doctors putting patients with arch issues on orthotics which is like giving someone with a weak leg crutches. You need to exercise and build the muscles, not crutch them.

    Rant over

  • There are many accounts of immigrants learning English by watching English (subtitled) cartoons and films. That's still intentionally learning a language, just in a different way than many do. Second hand language exposure would at most lead to incoherent sentences or things that mean nothing. (How many fingers am I holding up? "The sunset is oblong").

    This is just a modern myth. Although I'm sure there are less than modern accounts as long as multilingual speakers have been somewhat common.

  • First video: He woke up speaking only Spanish, a language he'd never spoken fluently before. They didn't say he was speaking it fluently then either, only that he couldn't speak English when he first woke up.

    Second: Guy woke up speaking Swedish thinking he was someone else. Was found unconscious with 4 forms of false identification on him, with a cell phone with several phone numbers, all of which were Chinese phone numbers. Lived in Sweden for some time, so he knew the language. Sounds like he may have been a spy who wanted out and faked it Walter White style.

    Third: Kid spoke fluent Mandarin in High School, woke up speaking Mandarin after his accident.

    So different from foreign accent syndrome, but not all that different. There's no good record of anyone ever waking up sensically speaking a language they never learned (by sensically, I mean being able to speak even a cohesive sentence).

  • Let's say that's true and only a few USSR era nukes are maybe working, there's no refinery happening, and China and North Korea are only willing to give them 3 nukes each for a total of 8 ICMBs (surprise, 2 were newly refined and functioning perfectly). Now they have 8 ICBMs with nuclear payloads and the backing of China, Iran, and North Korean nuclear satellite capabilities.

    Which major city or strategic military post would you prefer they hit with the one that gets past defenses?

    Which one does it take to start WWIII?

  • Your question is based on a false premise. There is no 'foreign language syndrome,' that's a myth based on the very real foreign accent syndrome which is where after a stroke or some other neurological issue, people start talking as if they're from a foreign land. When you learn to speak a language, you've trained your tongue muscles in a very specific way and it's hard to do, think of how long some foreign people you know have been living where you live, and they still don't have perfect English or whatever your 'native tongue' is.

  • To OP: it does add significant block to spammers so they may only create 5,000 accounts slowly instead of millions of accounts quickly.

    Most email services require a phone number or other email service to sign up if there is anything fishy about your connection/browser, and there can be hundreds of things, even just some specific browser extension installed, or you using the same mobile network IP as a spammer.

    And there are services where you can buy a real temporary 4G/5G number (non-VoIP) for a service for less than a dollar per use. Once a number has been used for that service it still has every other X number (thousands) of services it can be used for before it's retired from the pool. But that does add up after a while if you're making tens or hundreds of thousands of accounts.

  • What stuck out to me is cops were blocking it after you went through. Can you expand on this? Did they pull up after you and the other car entered or was it like they were already there and you somehow 'drove past the car block without noticing'?

    Often times stuff happens and just doesn't make the news, nobody calls it in to them. And sometimes stuff is reported and they just don't follow up on it or have interest. If it was something with the cities underground tunnel/piping network (especially likely if it was an in-ground tunnel) it could have been something going on in the entrance/exit to the tunnel system, or there could have been a severe gas/water/etc leak in that area.
