The second option. The military dictatorship had an official censorship bureau in place. Proposed news articles had to be run through it before publishing. When some story was barred, it was usual for journal staff to fill its empty slot with something else, like poems, short stories, tall tales, et cetera, that obviously felt out of place. This way people were made aware something that should be there did not make it.

Another school was attacked[1] because it had "Shahed" in the name, like the drones. This is the First Slop War: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/6/elementary-school-in...

Prop up the friendly apartheid regime.


Yikes. I never really thought about the environmental impacts of war mainly because no one seems to talk about it.

Now that I know about it, it just infuriates me that anyone could even criticize any individual person's usage of fossil fuels.


Of course we shouldn't expect a couple of years of shutdown to significantly reverse 200 years of man-made atmospheric CO2 accumulation, but surely it would help stop the problem to get worse if the widespread WFH effort were sustained after the pandemic.

...and increasing valuation of office real state.

I hope they have their Cuito Cuanavale[1] moment and follow the steps of South Africa in replacing their own version of the apartheid regime with democracy.

I consider Iran to be led and inhabited by indigenous people and not foreign colonizers.

Islam is a religion. The people of Iran are indigenous to Iran.


Is the implication that someone can't dislike both?


Absolutely not but it is very rare for people who are very anti-Israel to apply the same criteria they judge Israel by to other countries.

Muscle power output increases with cross section area, ~L^2, not with volume. The heart have no separate power unit. It relies on the same muscle walls that comprise its chambers to power itself.


That just means the walls of the heart would need to grow thicker. Are they at the limit already?


Wall thickness increasing by x increases cross section/power by x^2, but also increases chamber volume/workload by x^3. So workload outruns available power. It's because of this people abusing steroids get heart failure eventually.


>chamber volume/workload by x^3. So workload outruns available power.

What do you mean by workload? Are you referring to the oxygen cost per stroke, or what?


Power demand. Volume pumped each cycle * (systolic pressure - diastolic pressure) / time.


Mate, I have no idea what you're saying, or how it's a constraint on size.

At least if you can find some not previously doused in poison.
