The U.S. has announced it has smuggled in weapons to the Kurds.

I expect it won't take too long for them to put their new gear to use.

So apparently yesterday the IRGC sent out a statement threatening to "attack all economic zones in the Middle East". Specifically energy infrastructure, ports, power stations, shopping centres and civillian areas in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Sure, that'll get the Arabs to rethink the side they should be on. Threaten them with unlimited violence.

Even Pakistan has taken a stance against them, publicly reminding the IRGC that Pakistan has a mutual defence pact with SA.

And Turkey has had strong words with the Iranian ambassador about missiles being launched towards its airspace. IRGC making more friends.

And the supposed major allies, Russia and China appear quite happy to just put out statements on how Israel and the U.S. are being very naughty boys.

I'm guessing "How to Make Friends and Influence People" was never translated into Arabic or Farsi. Or maybe it's a haram book, who knows.

@Black Genspect Misanthrope 🍁 🎄 ❄️ ☃️ ❄️ 🎄 🍁 Found your next lunch.

Here's a little note to all the Americans posting recipes online.

It's really nice you've discovered that the REST OF THE WORLD uses metric, and are including metric conversions.

But could you please go through the numbers you get from your presumably automated conversions, and just, you know, see if they make sense?

236g of berries of 44ml of liquid just are not sensible measurements, and you really don't need to know metric to figure that out.

I'm tempted to say it's not rocket science, but wasn't there that one occasion where something expensive blew up due to people mixing up metric and imperial?
