I’m not a fan of our (the US) involvement in this conflict. That said it seems like a properly executed precision strike. The school is 200m from the Tomahawk impact. Is the intent of the article to showcase American precision or to imply the school was hit? I’m confused.
Tomahawks are famous for their precision being <5m. If you look at the satellite imagery you can see that all of the military buildings were clearly hit directly in the center. The school was hit in the same way. Clearly an intentional hit and possibly followed immediately by a "double tap" airstrike
This wasn't a technical failure but an intelligence failure. And above all a moral failure
I think it means that the entire site, including the school and several other buildings, were all hit at the sae time:
> Wes Bryant, a national security analyst who served in the US Air Force, also confirmed it was a Tomahawk missile.
> Bryant added that the evidence for multiple strikes on the entire IRGC compound "is indicative of a deliberate and precise" US operation.
> N R Jenzen Jones, director of Armament Research Services, previously told BBC Verify it was unlikely an Iranian missile had caused the significant blast damage seen at the school because they carry "relatively small explosive warheads".
According to widespread reporting, a school was destroyed and many children killed.
There is an open question as to who was responsible. This is an area that was targeted by US strikes but the US has not yet claimed responsibility.
There were many buildings in the same facility that were targeted. The building used by the school used to be part of the military facility many years ago: a leading hypothesis is that the school was intentionally and precisely targeted but based on outdated information, with the belief that it was a military target.
This new video evidence is the first video evidence that confirms that at least one of the buildings was indeed hit by a US missile. While there is no video yet released of a missile hitting the school, it is suggestive evidence that a US missile was also responsible for destroying the school, since satellite imagery shows all the buildings in that facility being destroyed around the same time and in a similar way.
I worked in the Pennzoil building (mentioned). It was a horrible waste of space, for what? A couple of nondescript black triangles? They could have had so much more leasable space and the floors wouldn't have been these odd shaped low ceiling caverns to make up for the loss of useable space. Just think, each of those triangular towers needs its own core with plumbing and elevator shafts. Good grief.
I had never seen this building. The dark glass is an odd choice for an oil company, all it makes me think of is how they are polluting the world with smoke and soot. It looks like a building Sauron would have enjoyed.
What is the problem with that? You know that the client credentials flow will normally just send the exact same information, principal and secret, in the form, right? How is sending a header with the information bad, specially when it was being done for ages already in this use case?
"Coincidentally, Lynch's co-defendant, Stephen Chamberlain, who was also acquitted, died the day of the storm after being hit by a car on Saturday morning in Stretham, England."
Coincidentally indeed.
"Other missing individuals have been identified by The Independent as: Christopher Morvillo, a lawyer who had represented Lynch and wife Neda Morvillo; Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley International and wife Judy Bloomer."
The maker says the sailing boat was nearly unsinkable (why won't they?)
There are 15 survivors including the Captain, so I doubt foul play. Given that Waterspouts, even the seemingly innocuous ones, are très powerful, it remains the most likely cause of Bayesian's tragedy.
>There are 15 survivors including the Captain, so I doubt foul play.
doesn't that make it even more suspicious? the boat goes down, most of the people on it survive, but the guy who ripped off HP and his banker and his lawyer all died.
if you wanted to believe that the ship was sailed into a storm and the sinking was used as cover for a murder, it seems more plausible this way than if everybody on the ship had died. (to be clear, i don't really believe this is what happened. just trying to figure out why the captain surviving makes it less likely to be foul play)
I mean, I really have to fight my brain from jumping into conspiracy theories at times. This is ABSOLUTELY one of them.
Lot of other nasties running around without repercussions, but Karma/Simulation said nay to these cats. It is crazy hard to just shake off the coincidence at times.
Do you think that the conspirators staged the boat trip by actively planning for a waterspout? What is the probability of a conspiracy like that succeeding?
Can you explain what that means? Like...I vaguely know what a keel is, but what does it mean for it to be raised? Who raises it, and how, or what could have caused it to be raised? What keel configuration would not have been a red flag?
Some (usually larger) boats can have movable keels - lifting or swing. It's usually controlled by hydraulics. If it's in rough weather you'd expect it to be fully extended to lower the centre of gravity.
The keel is a blade on the bottom of the boat for stability. The built in ones tend to slow down performance, so newer boats have adjustable keels that raise and lower. If the keel had been extended, it would’ve lowered the boat’s center of gravity and given more stability. In a water spout however, not sure anything could’ve been helped. They needed to spend the night on land.
It sounds a bit less like a conspiracy theory if you consider that the yacht trip was meant to celebrate winning the legal case. Which explains why key people involved in the legal case are missing... they were on the yacht. The only real coincidence is the land and sea accidents happening around the same time.
Has anyone else read the story of the astronaut onboard ISS who lost it (if I recall it was over a romantic interest) and destroyed the toilet and drilled a hole in the space station?
I’ve spent a fair number of years doing corporate cucumber training.
At every client I emphatically insist that if they are not using Gherkin as a “Rosetta stone” for the business folks then they’re wasting their time with cucumber. Don’t go to the trouble of writing gherkin if you’re not using it as living documentation. Save yourself loads of trouble and just use an ordinary test framework.
