You saying she’ll be president in a few years? Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Goddamned right. There were several years when I’d let it go, because Netflix and the like were providing a good, fairly priced service. When they finally gave me the fuck you, I cancelled it on my 10th anniversary as a customer, along with every other streaming service. Took me a minute to get back in the swing, but the salty sea air is so nice again.
I think he, like many, mistakenly think Iran is like other countries in the region that the US bullied in recent decades. He probably doesn’t listen to his command staff much, who no doubt tell him this is a foe much greater than you suspect.
Subterfuge there is one thing, but outright aggression is going to be very painful for everybody involved.
Oh yeah. Fair enough. I was thinking more “skilled”.
It is the basis of visas around the world, bad as that may be.
There are many good methods. They aren’t hard to learn as long as you can memorize a few 7-10 move algorithms.
For people recommending using screwdrivers and sticker peeling, they’re actually much easier than that to disassemble and reassemble. Turn one face 45 deg. Pop an edge up. The whole thing will fall apart. Tougher to assemble but not too bad. Only problem is you have a 2/3 change to accidentally assemble an unsolvable corner rotation and a 50% chance to assemble an unsolvable edge flip. Both are easily fixed if you can spot it by flipping any edge and rotating any corners once or twice as needed, but then if you’re able to spot it, you already know that.
Yes, the Petrus method is my preferred. It is of course suboptimal these days at the highest level but still, I believe, the most logical to reason about.
What’s your question?
Oh you’re definitely right about that. I’m just saying the default position, in my view, should not be to assume duress.
Agreed but he’d still be a spring chicken in modern terms. I’d rather see max age 50 than min age 35.
I’m not accusing you of a crime, just being presumptuous and puritanical.
This is a really good article and refreshing to see this being recognized as the double edged sword it is (albeit with one edge much sharper than the other). It will be interesting to see how different organizations deal with this. The temporary interaction limitation will be a bandaid in some cases but the deluge will just keep coming.
I’ve been interested in Mitchell Hashimoto’s new trust tooling. I’m not sure it will become a standard, but is a very interesting attempt, and dead simple.
