Kinda wondering about the whole logistic of this. These are behemoth ships that are slow and cost a lot to operate and move a very long distance. Are they just gonna pack it all in some tiny island owned by the US navy? Or are they just gonna launder these as American goods in some other ports? Who are gonna be the buyers of all those stolen goods? Cause I sure am curious if anyone want to piss off the Iranian and their customers (China, Russia) by consuming those?

So the USA want to turn everyone against them? There are insufficient amount of resources outside the Gulf and this move will only further reduce the amount of goods available. The US “allies” will compete directly with US citizens for resources, the neutral great powers will have even more incentive to directly help Iran break US arm force and reduce the US capacity and all the rest of the world (the global South) will further destabilized and hate the US cause they’re causing greater suffering. Even without sinking a single US ship. If Iran can stop everything from moving through the strait the US will keep sinking further into crisis. This is an insane move that doesn’t solve the fundamental problem and will backfire hugely soon.

Calibre for local book directory. Since I also self hosting, I have a Kavita and calibre-web for other stuff like mangas.

You don’t need the original anymore. Majority of the original are just encrypted (DRMed) .awz, .pdf or whatever the publisher gave to Amazon. After you’ve done dedrm you should have the same content as original files. Storing all those working files just fill up your disks. Now there’s a potential loss in quality if Amazon or other online distributor do some type of optimization to the original files they received, which they do for a lot of manga, but there’s nothing you can do about that one besides not buying it from that reseller again.

Bruh, if only the goddamn android auto allow keyboard input when driving. Their voice recognition is terrible for anything vaguely non English anyway. And I just typically need to type 4 letters to get the right address in

They have been stretching those points by a lot lately. Probably gonna said international water is a violation or something those lines

Just pure speculation on my end. But probably Kuwait, they were the US springboard into Iraq in the previous campaigns and already have the infrastructures. Furthermore, they are also the closest to Kharg island and thus having the least risk of getting fired on in open water.

So you are saying that I gotta wait another week for the good time to start?
