Ah, students... how could I forget about these unserious creatures!

I see :D I can imagine that many people use similar "tricks" without getting the irony...

Understood. Then what is the benefit or re-randomizing the seed by hand?

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

How is the value of the seed determined before calling rd.seed?

Err... if the seed is constant, why would this produce variable results? Won't you get a funny (but constant) seed after this?

This is terrifying

J'étais un peu à côté mais pas loin :/

You've been made redundant, just like this diagram.

Vous n'êtes pas si loin de la "réalité".
Une invitée sur BFM au début de la guerre à Gaza racontait que les enfants qui mourraient sous les bombes israéliennes ne perdaient pas la foi en l'humanité car elles étaient lancées en se souciant d'eux en tant qu'êtres humains (ou une connerie du genre).

The U.S. spent 20 years and trillions of dollars replacing the Taliban with the Taliban. Trump replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei in just 9 days.

The most efficient U.S. president ever.

I know the last 20 years makes Americans flatten what they about the Middle East into war propaganda, but we really have to reckon with what we are doing to the people of Iran

Tehran is a city on par with NYC, in terms of size and economic impact, we are reducing it to rubble & poisoning the air

Interestingly, it's always genocide deniers who seem the least bothered about performing one.

The Saudis have strong incentives to expand the range of pipeline and terminal options along the Red Sea and perhaps via Syria even the Mediterranean.

While with the Iran crisis following the Russia shock in 2022 increases incentives for EU, India and China to diversify energy sources even further

Yes, why aren't more people in the streets during bombing campaigns? Strange.

"Cordial"? What's wrong with you? (no offense intended) These people need a taste of their own medicine - not just a polite shrug.

Are foreigners fed up with climate deniers allowed to crack a joke on how with such a place name, they could perhaps try to make water from some other natural element?

(although I fully understand that the situation is not funny at all, if not outright catastrophic).

Weren't they supposed to demonstrate at the same time?

Admit that "dignified transfer" is a fucking inappropriate euphemism for what is essentially bringing back in coffins army personnel who died due to misguided policies of aggression toward third countries.

Alerte sur Samidoun (entrisme dans la gauche antiraciste et décoloniale) On a dégagé Eros de la Pride. On a éloigné Nous vivrons et Némésis des manifs du 8 mars. On a viré les fachos des cortèges de Gilets jaunes... eho les copaines, il en reste !

C'est les moment de parler de Samidoun, une asso complice du régime iranien et qui fait de l'entrisme dans la gauche antiraciste et décoloniale.

There are actual researchers working on this.

Akira?

Yes but does "collapse of the centralized government for a few months" count as what is now known as a failed state (which have elements of statehood but can linger in this status for years, such as Somalia)?

I'm not sure that Israel would be interested in such a temporary outcome...

Although the Iranian regime is horrible and hated by most Iranians, I have a hard time believing that a 5000 year old country can be turned into a failed state overnight and stay in that position for a significant amount of time.
We are not discussing Syria or even Italy for God's sake.

No way. Are they even aware that:
1) Jesus was a Palestinian Jew.
2) He couldn't care less about countries that didn't exist at the time.
3) He won't "return" (wtf?) and even if he could, he wouldn't do it for them.
4) Their Jesus probably has 0 common features with the rest of Christianity.
?

It is so comforting to witness rightful outrage and truthful words from the president's own family while so many cowards just duck under the tables pretending that all of this is normal. Collective delusion is not normal, and being collective doesn't magically make it right. Thank you Ms. Trump.

Dear Ms. Trump, I had heard of you but only found your profile just now. Your posts are comforting, a drop of sanity and empathy in the ocean of hate that the whole world is swimming in. Thank you for being outraged - you are a glimmer of hope in the midst of very dark times. Greetings from France.
