"No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice." - Clarice Lispector

  • There is no clearly delineating the idea of US and Israel in this foreign policy context, it is a continuous enmeshed concept, Israel is a vassal state of the US, I don't say that condescendingly, that is what it is.

  • No but Trump has an appetite for firing off all the air defenses that the US and Europe could use to resist Russia/give in aid to Ukraine and the air defense missile companies would love to have their buy orders full for the next 10 years from dumping the entire interceptor stock in an intense war with Iran.

    If US service members die in missile strikes on bases in the middle east, all the better for underlining the stock market value of air defense missile companies.

  • Exactly!

  • Yes well it will be a pre-emptive strike in terms of legality and public approval in the sense that the strike pre-empts anyone in their right mind supporting it or there being any non-bullshit legal basis for it.

  • Except we are clearly setting up our emotional support Israel to take all of the blame when this goes south, which it will....and Israel will deserve blame for it, they are foaming at the mouth for regional war but the US will spin around and say "we've been deceived by the jews again!" to get out of admitting to itself how fucked up the US is all by itself.

    Cue history repeating itself in the same violent, xenophobic, stupid ways...

  • Hey don't get angry at me, it is them immigrants fault I had to dehumanize you

  • You have been reading too much slop scifi, take a breather friend. Maybe try Virginia Woolf?

  • Do you think we could actually get that much processing power out of Sam Altman if we shoved him in one of those things though?

  • I don't but the police work for me since I am a billionaire and they can murder the unemployed for me!

  • I just realized the paper is open access

    Figure 3. Optically resolving atomic-scale features using MIR cw radiation. (a) Topography of a vicinal gold surface imaged with atomic force microscopy (AFM) (oscillation amplitude A = 100 pm, frequency shift set point Δνset = −1.7 Hz), revealing characteristic monatomic steps. (b) Simultaneously acquired map of the scattered intensity I2, demodulated at the second harmonic of the tip oscillation frequency. A clear contrast emerges with enhanced intensity at the atomic step edges. The inset shows a linecut of I2 along x. Fitting a step in the signal with an error function (black dashed line), we find a spatial modulation on the length scale of 1.3 Å using a 90%–10% criterion. (c) Simultaneously acquired map of the tunneling current J, recorded under minimized d.c. bias, where a close resemblance to the I2 map is found. (d) Two-dimensional histogram representing the pixelwise correlation between the current J and scattered intensity I2, indicating a linear correlation between the two quantities. The color map indicates the number of pixels whose value pairs fall into each bin. The black spheres depict the data points binned exclusively along the J-axis, while the error bars represent one standard deviation. For clarity, the AFM topography was line-leveled and smoothed using a Gaussian filter.

    Figure 4. Optical imaging at the mechanical limit. (a) Topography of the vicinal gold surface, measured in AFM feedback mode (A = 100 pm, Δνset = −1.8 Hz). (b) Simultaneously recorded scattered intensity I2, where a clear modulation can be seen. (c) Simultaneously acquired map of the mechanical tip oscillation amplitude A2, demodulated at the second harmonic of the oscillation frequency. The scan shows local peaks of A2, indicating anharmonicity of the tip oscillation. (d) Two-dimensional histogram representing the pixelwise correlation between I2 and A2, where the color map indicates the number of value pairs that fall into each bin. High values of A2 tend to coincide with high values of I2. The highlighted areas in b and c show the data points to the right of the gray dashed line, where A2 > 4 pm. (e) Comparison of the distance dependence of the intensity I2 and the second harmonic oscillation amplitude A2, revealing different decay lengths for both signals. The dashed lines show exponential fits of the data. The experimental data in panels d and e were averaged over the forward and backward direction of the scan with the shaded area representing one standard deviation.

  • Trump's threatening of Canada has everything to do with the Tar Sands and trying to bully oil suppliers out of the market to keep the oil price from crashing.

    Starting an actual conflict with Canada wouldn't really help that longterm for the US, which doesn't mean it won't happen but makes it an accidental eventuality that could happen as an unintended less-likely outcome rather than an intended effect.

  • Yes but that is just the command structure, we are talking about a massive amount of people here.
