Well like how else are you gonna stop them?

Only other option is a helicopter boarding action.

It was NATO policy in the event of a war with the USSR because it was not believed they could win conventionally.

A cute girl with white hair and red eyes sitting up out of a coffin and thinking "Whatever, I'll just say anything." and saying "What's my name?" to a priest who responds with ellipses.

"What's my name?" in a menacing black speech bubble.

A pretty yet terrifying girl with white hair and red eyes.

Against a background made of eyes "The thing that had taken over Evangeline Rohanson's body finished adjusting to its new form"

Reading After Transmigrating, I Became An Urban Legend, in which the protagonist and the other characters have a very different perspective on events

Really think they should have recast the role.

Maybe Doomsday will get things back on track. We'll see.

Doesn't help that they cancelled their new main plot instead of recasting Kang, which left the overall arc of the series lost.

I still watch some of it because I'm a fan of flashy CGI action, but with the end of their planned arc in Endgame and the death and retirement of the two characters who made the heart of it it's really gone downhill.

Mikoto is a busy girl!

(I'm actually a bit annoyed it didn't go on slightly longer and show her Russian adventures).

I haven't read *this* manga but I have read the light novels and A Certain Scientific Railgun (which just ended).

A purple-haired anime girl bleeding from a bite on her arm.

Have been reminded of Gakkou Gurashi and now I'm sad

Ships are supposed to be in maintance or refit dockside ~1/3rd of the time.

I'm pretty sure they don't because the crew is supposed to get their shore leave when the ship docks and there's like 6000 people on there so they're not easily swapped out.

Directly elected, yeah. It's on a rotating system where they serve 6-year terms with a third of them up for elections every two years.

SKITTER!

Steak.

I slather it in sauce to make it marginally palatable.

Didn't he, like, just commit to siezing or destroying all those ships?

I have been reminded of Symphogear so I found a youtube channel that did English covers.

Damn is Carol angry.

They have a justification for blocking anyone going to or from Iran with cargo because we're at war.

I'm not sure about shipping that comes from gulf states and merely pays the toll.

I would lay money that an unarmed tanker gets boarded and siezed by helicopter. Tanker is siezed, no one dies, China is mad but not enough to do something.

If there's so much as a frigate along for escort things get *spicy*

To what? They're hundreds of miles away from land.

Do they need forex reserves for internal payroll? Couldn't they print their own currency and promise people who care that they'll rebuild their forex reserves when trade reopens?

Importing war materials is another issue, of course.

The oil exports are bound for distant ports, well out of drone or speedboat range, so the US can deploy helicopters to sieze them hundreds of miles away from Iran.

Is it difficult legally to blockade exports from a belligerent power? I was under the impression you can blockade anything except humanitarian supplies.

The ships that are carrying Gulf oil and just paid the toll strike me as the difficult ones.

Probably not directly during the wars, but non-stone writing surfaces don't last 2000+ years in most climates.

We have the writing we do because it was copied.

My youth soccer team gave everyone little trophies.

After The End does Saint Louis.

There's actual medical AI that is completely seperate from LLMs that is promising.

Though there have been issues like diagnosing skin cancer based on the presence of a ruler.

I refuse to post politics on my main TL, so my only non-reply posts on Tuesday are talking about Project Hail Mary.

Spent the dinner before it doomscrolling WTF the ceasefire terms were.

Wait I thought we agreed to that.

Iran has already hit a major pipeline.
