Oh, and I forgot one thing. Iran is quite proud of the amount of enriched uranium it already has, which has reached the point where it would take less than weeks, perhaps to enrich it to weapons grade. If you were paying attention, you could be confused as to why Iran has any enriched uranium that approaches weapons grade, when it's previously agreed not to do so, that it was sanctioned for doing so, and now it claims it has a right to do so in opposition to widespread agreement that it should not by other nations. By its own words. It's telling you that sanctions weren't effective and that they were ignored or subverted. You wanted evidence, listen to Iran's leadership itself if you would.

If you were more informed about history you would know that not only did Iran ignore the sanctions and agreements, they expelled inspectors and refused to permit follow up inspections as mandated by the agreements they signed.

And many of the dispute resolution mechanisms were subverted or diverted by the other parties involved, the UN and European nations in particular.

This is so widely known that i challenge you to provide evidence of Iran's compliance. But if you cannot, then consider they did not comply in meaningful ways.

I doubt you will. Try again.

This. We have SSO, and yet when I open Teams, it is Gettings things ready" for fscking ages. Only to eventually tell me I need to log in. Which I click and - surprise - I am already logged in.

But the worst thing is Tem's trying to do everything. You can message there, store files there, etc, etc. I don't want yet another "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" - sorry there's no English equivalent really, that's a very negative "Jack of all trades".

Unfortunately, yes. That is the direct consequence of DEI. If you hire some people due to their gender, or race, or whatever? Guess what, you call the qualifications of *all* such people into question.

"WFH was the right thing to do twenty fucking years ago when IT presented the concept of Remote Desktop and VPN."

In the 90s we were using Remote Desktop and VPN to enable a lawyer across the US to edit contracts, print them, solve the dilemma, close the deal, all while everyone at the meeting was on the phone typing to explain to their office staff so they could, maybe, fax something.

Not exactly work from home, but wortk where you are.

BTW, the first incident of this 'magix' lead to our outfit having to fly cross country to train the locals in how to make all this work. Was fun, would do it again. The next one made our client an international reputation.

Point is, these technologies were actually invented to address remote administration, then work in the field. WFH has done what such good technology does, solve problems that did not even exist when it was thought up.

No, they are not. Some preach, as their scripture, that unbelievers do not deserve to live. Some, remarkably, do NOT.

Not all religions are the same at all. And not the 'same type of cult' either. This is easily assumed by those who reject religion, and where i live that is permitted and even celebrated, but those who reject faith might not be well qualified to judge it.

"The admissions you are referring to occurred some four years after the US bailed."

But, by most accounts, Iran never stopped enriching uranium. For some of us that would seem to indicate the sanctions were not working well.

Iran has not always been honest about its nuclear programs.
