And the problem is that once they get that schedule messed up it becomes a self sustaining feedback loop. Really hard to break.

Sun downing for instance appears to arise from a combination of circadian dysregulation, fatigue, reduced environmental cues, and impaired cortical regulation of behavior. As cognition declines through the day, behavioral symptoms become more pronounced.

Yeah, in a few ways but fundamentally through the circadian rhythm.

Patients experience fragmented sleep at night and increased daytime sleepiness. Daytime napping then further destabilizes the circadian rhythm, creating a feedback loop of worsening nighttime insomnia and daytime somnolence.

My model for the US right now is “unconsolidated personalist regime with the principal suffering progressive cerebrovascular disease and a progressively radicalizing opposition”.

Open to feedback but that’s where I’m at right now.

Senile dementia is no respecter of wealth and power.

Enlightened behavior

Dementia, George.

Just raging at the (birthing?) of the light.

The only quibble I have with the good general’s perspective here is that I think that he underplays the odds that the Iranian state is shattered and everyone loses.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

It's incredible and it's very horseshoe theory.

I’m extremely happy for you.

Really not sure you can get the kind of dedication you need in a modern CTO for $100k a year.

On the advancements in power electronics and its important role for battlefield electrification.

Combustion is shit. It makes things hot, noisy, and demands incredible logistics supply trains for all the moving parts, lubricants and worst of all fuel. However since ww1

Credibly threatening nearly every aspect of their political project through of war of choice in February of an election year after they’ve just spent the last year radicalizing the opposition seems to be getting to them.

🛢️ OIL AND THE IRAN WAR CONTEXT WEEKLY 🛢️

US-Israel-Iran war shocks oil market but prices, while sharply higher, are still far from reflecting the true damage already done, let alone the existential risk the market now faces.

This is the most straightforward explanation in my mind.

Hell I mean Tampa isn’t the worst place for them to just sort of keep an eye out I guess.

great thanks for the update

Even if they accidentally stumble into it sometimes.

And yet somehow the United States’ foreign policy stands athwart and says “no, we want the other way”.

also aren’t we trying to create a failed state in Cuba rn too

The logistics of such scenarios…

Y’all,

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran The president’s private comments have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purpos...

The thing that pisses me off here is that there are scenarios where something like this does become the least bad move.

The Europeans know it too and they’re struggling mightily with it from what I can tell.

I am having a lot of trouble calibrating how bad I actually think things are going to get because it seems straightforwardly true to me that the government* is in the same position.

* such that it is.

Nice out of office message
