The attack on Iran

 I mean seriously, what else is there to talk about. Hour by hour blow by blow on every US news network and almost as bad on Canadian networks.

Need an update? 

What we know

  • IRAN WAR INTENSIFIES: The United States and Israel hit thousands of targets inside Iran, pressing their joint campaign after killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran’s Red Crescent said more than 550 people were killed in the strikes.
  • TEHRAN HITS BACK: Iran escalated attacks on Israel and targets across the Middle East, with three U.S. service members killed and three U.S. fighter jets downed by friendly fire. 11 people were killed in Israel, officials said, with deaths reported in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain.
  • CONFLICT SPREADS: Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon fired missiles at Israel, which launched a new campaign in response that has seen dozens killed, according to Lebanese authorities.
  • TEHRAN SAYS NO TALKS: Iran’s top national security official Ali Larijani vowed “we will not negotiate with the United States” after President Donald Trump said that Iranian officials do want to talk with the U.S. and “are talking.”
  • IRAN LEADERSHIP FLUX: Iran’s Leadership Council, the body temporarily running the country until a successor for Khamenei is picked, is made up of President Masoud Pezeshkian, judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and jurist Ayatollah Ali Reza Arafi.
  • GLOBAL DISRUPTION: The price of oil has already risen sharply as the conflict disrupts supplies. Countries are also scrambling to evacuate their citizens from Gulf states under attack from Iran amid widespread flight cancelations and airport closures.
I mean, it is getting so nauseous that I was watching a hockey game yesterday and it was interrupted by a war update. 

Taking a few seconds to get an "update" on the war is far less nauseous than turning on a news channel for .............. Breaking News, which is not actually breaking news.

As for my opinion on the war, don't have one. I see HUGE celebrations around the world by Iranians cheering the US strikes. Iranians have suffered long enough. If it wasn't for Trump, I would almost be tempted to support the attack, but because of who is behind it, I suspect Ulterior Motives.

Save yourselves the grief of 24/7 coverage (unless that is your fix) and come visit us more often here for more Bunny threads. Just a suggestion 😉

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the  PERAVES CZ  company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...

AI presidents – a good idea or a disaster waiting to happen?

Image
  Humans are notoriously bad at governing themselves. More often than not, we let our emotions influence our decisions, instead of basing them on facts and common sense. And judging by our recent history, that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. So, if humans can’t be trusted to do what’s best for them, why not pass that responsibility onto someone, or rather something, that could – an AI? The idea of an artificially intelligent ruler has been a staple of science fiction for quite some time. The first thought that comes to most people’s minds when they think about a society governed by machines will probably be that of the Skynet system from the  Terminator  movies. People like Elon Musk and the late Stephen Hawking have mirrored this grim vision by repeatedly warning about the existential threat artificial intelligence poses to humanity. While that’s certainly one of the possibilities, there’s no reason to believe that an AI ruler would necessarily be hostile towards huma...
