    Uh yeah, read the thread. Or I don't know, scroll up even just a few posts to what Penelope posted a few months ago. Have a great trip!

    London

    Going next week. Hitting Hawksmoor for dinner and Jugged Hare (again) for Sunday roast this time. I totally fucked up and forgot to reserve Harwood 3 months ago.
  3. Unfortunately that’s it. And no food/beverage is included. Imagine my surprise when I learned that. Still will hopefully be a fun day.
  4. Through a hospitality company I’ve used quite a bit out of London. Debenture tickets. [emoji102]
  5. Excited to attend Wimbledon for first time end of next week. Worked out perfectly during our London trip this time.
  6. Well if we play that game let's also let the other AI's participate: Google Gemini:
  7. Trump says the targets were completely and totally obliterated. Logic says he's probably right but I'm a little less certain now just how he said it.
  8. The GBU-57, aka bunker buster, is really only deployable by the B2. Far too heavy to deploy by missile. The tomahawks are there to take out surface targets.
  9. I would think less than 24 hours. It’s almost daylight there, satellites and scans will be telling. We will also be learning in those same hours based on the Iranian response.
  10. The B2s over the pacific were a complete misdirection. Zero chance they could have made it to Iran in time for these strikes. Militarily this seems to have been an exceptional operation.
  11. It’s a legit concern but also have to look at that from the Iran side. They aren’t likely to attack our forces while solely in foreign positions. They’ll threaten, but doubtful it happens.
  12. Well, people are more informed and skeptical now than we were in 2001. 4 generations had just been hurt in ways not seen since Pearl Harbor. And the two older generations alive at the time were supportive too. No social media, ALL were less skeptical then. This won’t be a repeat.
  13. Pound for pound, Mola Ram way up the list. Don’t think this was posted yet. True nightmare fuel for the billions who’ve seen it.
  14. Barack Obama - August 5th, 2015 “Among U.S. policymakers, there’s never been disagreement on the danger posed by an Iranian nuclear bomb. Democrats and Republicans alike have recognized that it would spark an arms race in the world’s most unstable region, and turn every crisis into a potential nuclear showdown. It would embolden terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, and pose an unacceptable risk to Israel, which Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened to destroy. More broadly, it could unravel the global commitment to non-proliferation that the world has done so much to defend. The question, then, is not whether to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but how. Even before taking office, I made clear that Iran would not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon on my watch, and it’s been my policy throughout my presidency to keep all options -- including possible military options -- on the table to achieve that objective. But I have also made clear my preference for a peaceful, diplomatic resolution of the issue -- not just because of the costs of war, but also because a negotiated agreement offered a more effective, verifiable and durable resolution. And so, in 2009, we let the Iranians know that a diplomatic path was available. Iran failed to take that path, and our intelligence community exposed the existence of a covert nuclear facility at Fordow.” Well, perhaps Fordow now ceases to exist. I think this is a good thing.
  15. Oh McLaren.
  16. I cannot believe 11A on a 787 is an Economy seat.
  17. I submit my top 2: 1) Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. 2) Bond, James Bond.
  18. I love when you use big words and don't have any idea what they mean.
  19. Seven years of this thread now and it’s absolute comedic gold.
  20. Are you suggesting employees who have worked for Elon for the last whatever # of years somehow today saw tweets that give them newfound concerns? LOL. Just read the posts here for the last SEVEN years. Dude isn’t changing.
  21. Fucking rigged. Love all the idiots falling for it.
