Updates on Iran
After my two looks at US Strategy concerning Iran and China, this guy summed it up in just two sentences:
Donald Trump is not trying to restore the status quo. He is replacing it… every day the Strait remains closed, America sells more oil and gas.
Especially to China. As always with Rod Martin, read the whole thing, Trump’s Hormuz Trap Snaps Shut.
Plus this new additional pressure, yet another consequence of the Iranian morons attacking their fellow Muslims (though only Sunni) in the Gulf States:

The Yanks have been wanting this sort of access for years. There’s no point in any Mullah or IRGC commander cornering business markets in Iran if they only have Iranian money to spend , and only in Iran.
Updates on Euro-Islam (Britain and Germany)
Still, even if the US is trying to win in Iran, throughout the rest of the West the White Left are apparently determined to kill themselves, but only after they kill their own societies, because the ultimate grace is being tolerant of the intolerant – at least as long as they’re not intolerant right-wingers, ammirite?

Meantime I can’t believe that German women have gone from this in the 2010’s…
… to this in 2026.

Fucking racists who aren’t interested in forming relationships with men from Afghanistan and the like – and don’t give me any of this “human rights” crap.
Ironically, one of those countries attacked by Iran, the UAE, had this to say about radical Islam in the West years ago

Why California is Broke and Texas is not.
A little bit of humour that makes the point.

And here’s a more serious reason why, as this scandal continues to unfold in California:

Cuba are Asshoe

This regime cannot fall fast enough for me.
Meanwhile NBC conducted a simpering interview with Cuban President which you can view at this link, assuming you have a vomit bag ready, but I’ve put the link in because of an alternative set of questions the prick could have been asked, of which just two:
For a completely opposite interpretation of that last point, check out old Commie, Mike Treen’s, paen to that aspect of Cuba here at The Daily Blog, Cuba has saved millions of lives across the world and we must fight for its survival as a duty to humanity.
I was pleased to see that there were no comments on it. Hopefully that’s because such commie propaganda is so blatant from old Tankies like Treen that it was too much even for Brandbury’s commentariat.
Ireland Can’t Vote There Way Out Of This.
I linked linked to this earlier in the week in a comment on the Hungary Down, Ireland Up post, but it deserves its own space, simple as a warning about how easily societies like California and Ireland can slip away from being free, safe and prosperous societies via voting (16m).

“They got the Muthafuckin’ Robot Dog in the Muthafuckin’ Hood”
And it even speaks with an Indian-English accent. This is not how I envisioned Robocop or The Terminator getting started but then SkyNet is much smarter than us. It’ll start with cuteness.

And on the note of Robocop…
You have 4,294,967,295 nanoseconds to comply
I have hit this problem, as have Wintel folk, and the reason is laughable: Apple MacBooks slow down after 49 days:
You will often notice the device slows down after a few weeks while some apps no longer work as expected. Photon has now identified a bug that effectively acts like a time bomb and is likely to be responsible for some of these problems.
This bug means that after exactly 49 days, 17 hours, 2 minutes and 47.296 seconds from the moment a Mac is switched on, network connections are no longer terminated correctly. This initially leads to an increase in CPU utilization, because after some time hundreds or even thousands of connections are managed that should actually have been terminated. As soon as the available ports, usually 16,384 in number, are used up, no more new connections can be established.
At which point you re-boot. But why the timing of 49 days?
MacOS uses a 32-bit counter to determine the time and duration of network connections. It can therefore store values up to 2³², which corresponds to 4,294,967,295 nanoseconds or 49 days, 17 hours, 2 minutes and 47.296 seconds. If this value is exceeded, the counter overflows and stops working.
As a coder I also lost track of the number of times I fucked up on counters. In one project our system crashed about twenty days after launch because we’d embedded a small counter of human-filed documents that was exceeded because the nurses were holding them longer than designed. Easy fix of course but the mystery of why they’d been held led to a whole shit-load of the dreaded Business Process Reengineering that we should have done in the first place.
