So are you saying the other countries that Iran had a treaty with don't matter? Just takes one? So if any other country backed out instead the treaty is also over? Iran didn't care if they violated a treaty with the others because they couldn't back it up. Either way, it would be crazy to let them have nukes. They just got done slaughtering tens of thousands of protesters. They should have been dealt with decades ago. The comment moderation in this conversation illustrates why Slashdot has died off so bad. Back in the day articles would normally get hundred of comments. Now they're lucky to get three dozen. Plenty of comments that are just outright name calling and mud slinging that get ignored but I get moderated a troll for having a different opinion.

The deal wasn't just with the US and Iran. Iran only officially killed the deal with the other signatories in 2025. So that would put Iran openly violating the treaty years ahead of rescinding it.

They themselves openly admitted to enriching uranium well beyond the agreed amount. What part of that is a success?

That's not what they are trying to say. They're saying, "Because keeping an armed military around is necessary to keep a free state, the ordinary citizen must also be allowed to have guns to protect themselves from the previously mentioned armed government."

That's because it was never about Elon or DOGE. It's anything Trump.

So let me get this straight. A poster makes a generalization about a continent filled with dozens of countries and that makes all Americans, a country bigger than Europe with people from every walk of life, brain rotted. You literally did the thing you accused the OP of.

So if starting and stopping isn't a big deal, why does it matter if a car's 100k miles are city or highway? Everyone knows city miles are way harder on cars. Now you want to add shutting the engine off to every stop. Think about it

Let me guess, you asked ChatGPT. You've probably never worked on a car a day in your life

How many cycles does your starter have, or your battery? Do you really think it's a good idea to have your coolant system stopping right after using your vehicle hard? For many of the components of your engine the greatest strain is in starting up. It really show that you know fuck all about cars that you can't think of any way it could be worse. This is where EVs shine, but it's not for ICE vehicles.

The thing is if you ask a mechanic if stopping and starting your engine over and over is bad for your engine, or at least parts of it, the answer is obviously yes.

You forget that Melinda herself divorced Bill citing his relationship with Epstein. That's more than securing donations. Why would Epstein lie in a note to himself about Bill?

The recidivism rate is a lot lower in China too and they definitely don't rehabilitate. I bet it's getting pretty low in El Salvador as well.

That's easy. We've gone our whole lives without AI and did just fine. Most cases of AI use aren't geniuses streamlining their busy workload. It's idiots trying to get their crap work to be passable. Don't get me wrong, even current AI can do some incredible things. But you aren't better off in the long run offloading your thinking to a statistics model.

Russia couldn't defeat in of the poorest country in Europe. They've been weak for ages. They are a paper tiger. We talk about them like they're strong because every hero needs a villain. The Russian economy is falling apart fighting a war on their own border.
