Great answer, that's exactly what I was wondering. Makes a lot of sense if they were launched from a long distance away, especially re: the Russians and the Kinzhals.

Oh I know, just saw it as I was walking past my parents living room with dinner, I'd never be caught dead watching that otherwise.

For anyone more versed in Iranian military capabilities, here's a question.

If this attack was done by airstrikes, doesn't Iran have SAM/AA batteries, or even fighter interceptors? How did they get through to Tehran? I mean they've gotta at least have radar to give an early warning, right?

NBC is reporting that apparently the strikes were targeted at a barracks, an office, and an ammo depot.

What about Spain's first astronaut, Luis Carrero Blanco?

On 20 December at 9:36 am, a three-man ETA commando unit disguised as electricians detonated the explosives by command wire as Blanco's Dodge Dart passed.[2] The blast sent Blanco and his car 20 metres (66 ft) into the air and over the five-story church, landing on the second-floor terrace of the opposite side.[3] Blanco survived the blast but died at 10:15 am in hospital.[2] His bodyguard and driver died shortly afterwards.[2] The "electricians" shouted to stunned passers-by that there had been a gas explosion, and then fled in the confusion. ETA claimed responsibility on 22 January 1974.

(Absolutely wild story, ya love to see it folks. )

Well for our non-American audience, Walz would be a pretty average European Social Democrat. So yeah pretty great for American standards, but for the rest of the world? Ehhhhh...

it would lose them Michigan

I think this was a big factor in the decision. Sure, Pennsylvania is now more up for grabs, but Walz helps to secure Wisconsin and Michigan with that upper Midwest energy.

Can confirm. I'd say I like what Walz has done like 80% of the time. Still a lib, but you could do a lot worse. Plus I do kinda admire that he's just some Midwestern guy who just kinda wound up there unlike career politicians. Super surprised he came out of nowhere a few weeks ago and now is on the ticket. Its wild.

Just install Firefox, head to about:config and turn some things off and call it a day.

Seriously this. Im tired, I don't have the physical or mental energy to keep up with all these new reskin browsers. I already left Chrome, Firefox can be "good enough" with the right settings.
