Well, I guess Nethanyahu turns Trump on more than Putin at the end of the day. Go figure.
I read in reuters something a conservative said (one Candance Owens, whoever that is):
And yeah, that's about it.
I guess Dr. Strangelove is not in the public domain yet, after more than 60 years ?
Not sure how many casualties though.

TBF chanting "Death to [your country]" will get you a prime spot on any sane person's hit list.

Call it whatever. It's not like Trump can alert the authorities to deal with the minor misdemeanor of nuclear threat.

Me: We haven't been able to go out today due to the rain, so we started watching the following video instead.
8 HOURS Forest Walk along the Trail of Ten Falls - Waterfalls of Silver Falls State Park in 4K UHD
Me: Don't worry we're not going to watch it all in one sitting.
P: That's what you think.

German TV had these views of a train cockpit riding from station to station. It would take a long time, as long as the actual ride would take.Me: We haven't been able to go out today due to the rain, so we started watching the following video instead.

Way less stressful compared to war.

I can relax with motorcycle ride videos. A nice V2 sound is soothing. Or calmly driven 4-in-lines. Add to that the landscape... Just now I was looking for a Japanese channel that specialized in slow country rides on a Kawa W800, pro mic mounted near the exhaust. Looks like the channel is gone. I should save stuff I enjoy :-(

We've watched that type of video before too, also insert other type of travel video here (Peony enjoys travelling in general).

According to the AI image generator that Peony and I have been using these are crashing waves.

According to Trump the (12-day) war between Israel and Iran is over. Lets see how it goes.

This one's funny:
Though, when you read their discussions, it quickly gets sad/frustrating/infuriating - take your pick.

We are essentially a virus that the earth has contracted, and now we're trying to spread.

Mh. There's too many people on this rock. Apex predator from space when?
If it is the case that the virus has spread to be the Apex predator in its event horizon, then how does it learn to balance life ? Even if only to selfishly survive ?
Reducing the popullation by fewer births is OK. At least for a while, but possibly not enough. The traditional "solution" of many sudden deaths (war, famione...) is no solution. War just wastes yet more resources than life as usual, and all of war, pestilence and famine only temporarily reduce popullation.
It must be more about learning to enjoy other beings wellness and despise greed. Learning is hard enough. Ensuring no "dislearning" later is even harder...

If a virus is strong it balances itself out of the picture, together with its host. Predators only take what they need, and only balance out by the amount of readily available resources, and maybe homocide or canibalism. The latter maybe only triggered by resource lows.
As it is today, we're more like homocidal virus.
If we could establish high standards of living globally, crime and birthrates should go down. But I don't see us getting there, as long as we don't apply policies that make politically influential positions unattractive to opportunists.
Recommendation: Make it so that every public servant receives X times the then-current minumum wage as compensation. X be dependent on the position and generally not very high. Such a compensation will be permanent, i.e. until death, and earned once such position has been granted, even if only for a day, Such compensations are not accumulative, the highest one earned will be the active one, until death or a higher one is earned. But acceptance of ANY income/gift/personnal favour besides such compensation will be counted as treason and handled as such.
For CEOs of privately owned firms I have no idea, yet, other than capping the max salary. Or maybe applying the same regulation as for public servants as soon as the firm gained a certain degree of influentialness? Though, who'd prolong the salary beyond employment. Also, once such position is granted could be way easier abused in the private sector, i.e. imposters would be similarly easy to find, but in-on-it position grantees very probably more easily.

Bought an ifixit battery replacement kit for my neighbour's Pixel 7 and installed it successfully. Next to all the required tools it comes with stencils to re-apply the adhesives, a great feature.
