Sea Skua, probably.

This. We have a tournament game where we need a win, and anything that distracts from that should not be on the agenda. I am no fan of the Iran government, but all that USSF should have to do with that is claiming all 3 points tomorrow.

And then you will need a software developer to do the very strict and unambiguous specification of the requirement. And then you will be back to exactly the result of every software writing automation system that has ever been developed (over probably 40+ years of trying). Namely, there needs to be a human software developer to specify exactly and unambiguously what you want. Only this time, you will be working with a system that has much inferior tools (like debuggers) than the programing language that you just 'eliminated'.

Do they let flags of Mauritius or Seychelles in?

So why do so many of them become real estate agents? Answer me that one!

That's on my bucket list. There are a few places that are the remains of Crocodilopolis and the crocodile temples.

Nice! Make sure to pay your respects to Sobek beforehand.

I don't either, but in one way it is actually better than how Elon handled it. Supposedly they sent out 'you still have a job' emails to twitter emails, but 'you are let go' emails to personal addresses. That is petty. If I am being laid off, that moment of being let go is my last official task for the company, so the corporate email is still appropriate. Ideally of course you would get told in person then don't necessarily need email. At least in this fake (main hint: it says 'THIS IS REAL'), he got the news as an employee.

Makes sense to me.

Yeah, while Elon will try and make up some BS as cause for firing them, it will in fact be BS and with no substance. With normal peon employees, he might get away with that, but I suspect Twitter's General Counsel will understand how to work the legal system on this one. The employees that are being laid off immediately, and the timing for this is also to avoid some bonuses (stock vesting I think), may have more challenge in navigating the legal system.

I didn't mean that Musk bought Twitter with literally the cash Twitter had on hand, but there is $13 billion that is now in the pocket of Twitter shareholders (as of this morning) that Twitter, not Musk, is now responsible for paying back.

I don't mean the cash that Twitter has on hand. I mean the $13 billion in debt that Twitter will be responsible for, that is part of the purchase price.

The whole buying companies with the companies own money is really kind of strange. I imagine that Elon will lose plenty of money out of this deal, but other people will lose a lot more.

I don't think that Musk has completed the acquisition yet. (At least, it was reported that at the time Musk said that he had closed, in fact he had not.) It is completely on brand that he fabricated the claim that the deal is done, of course.

They would also look at the specific frequencies of IR radiation. Just like visible light, there is a range of frequencies/wavelengths of IR radiation, it isn't as simple as hotter=more IR. Sophisticated IR seekers would look at the particular spectrum of IR, and be designed to find spectra that are like tank engines, and not spectra like decoys, which might have a lot of IR but not really at the right frequencies.

To be fair, that is pretty much exactly the accuracy of those pundits opinions on every other matter they have opined on. Which is 100% why they are on Fox News.

As long as I have paid any attention to the metals market, there have been people saying that the paper and physical markets are coming apart and that Comex is about to collapse. Hasn't happened yet. As far as premiums for physical: The meaningful premium for the physical commodity metal is that on 1000 oz bars, which are the financial standard. These are modest now, nowhere NEAR 50%. The premiums on ASE's are related to retail fabricated products, in particular ones that are made by the US government. People who claim that premiums on ASE's represent premiums on silver as a commodity are people who COMPLETELY do not understand the difference between wholesale commodities and retail fabricated products. The common clay of the New West, you might say. As far as ASE's in particular: I think that the Mint, which buys its blank planchets from vendors, has changed their contract, in a way that made it a little cheaper for the Mint, but reduced the extent that the vendors have to sell as much as the Mint wants. At the moment, it is more profitable for these vendors to sell the planchets to others, so the Mint has less supply of planchets, so they are not minting as many ASE's as they would like to, and that there is demand for. Perhaps this was a poor choice for the Mint, but it does not in any way represent a breakdown of the commodity market.

The human occupants of 10 Downing are a shambles, but Larry (who has a much longer tenure fwiw) has it figured out.

Ahh, so hex paper is not just for wargaming nerds!

GPS receivers do not send out signals, they cannot possibly be what is jamming things. The signals come from the satellites, and they are very weak, so it is not that hard to overwhelm them.

This sounds somewhat likely. Remember that the choice will be made by the dues-paying members of the Tory party, nobody else will have a say.

Of course, you can bet on who lasts longer. Current bookmaker odds favor the lettuce. I doubt it will be close.

Yep. More and more ghosts of WWII keep coming to life.

Is it really money laundering? I thought it was just boosting book 'sales' so you can pretend to be a best-selling author, but there is not really any financial fraud in it, and it doesn't fool anybody who pays attention.
