Once again the Trump administration will need its European allies who have multiple times the US Navy’s mine clearing capacity.
Turns out that for fighting wars in the Middle East, the US needs its European allies. No matter who sits in the White House.

Now, a major issue here is that the state of USN mine countermeasure capabilities is... not good. As you might have seen, the last of the old Avenger-class was shipped out of the Gulf in *January*. Something which once again is very much on brand for the complete lack of long-term planning by Trump.
Navy's Avenger Class Mine Hunters Have Left The Middle East For Good
The last four Avengers in Bahrain were carried off on a heavy lift vessel at a time of crisis, where mining the Persian Gulf could come into play.

Why are our electric bills going up about 20% in New Jersey and across the PJM region? This is why: electricity demand is growing fairly rapidly now, and we're not adding new supply fast enough to keep up. Why? Mostly because PJM itself is too slow to connect new generation & storage!

For about two years, until we just didn't have the capacity for it, there was a planned achievement to honour this (spending an uncomfortable amount of time around the tree, clearing out its blight, etc.)
It was called "For The Love of a Tree", and in my mind, everyone unlocked it 🫶

Then there’s the uranium yellow cake handling, the initial separation process, a long stream of radioactive machinery and buildings that are potentially exposed at several sites. It’s a hell of a mess. I doubt Iran has the capacity or capability of clearing it up beyond just burying it all.

This is specifically a program for clearing "crosswalks, bus stops, and fire hydrants."
As someone who spent 45 minutes clearing a Somerville crosswalk *4 weeks* after our last storm, I think that building capacity for things like this--such that you can throw $$ at it--is a good idea for cities.

Just in case anyone gets it twisted, I’ve been writing about games in some capacity on and off for over a decade now. I’ve also played FFXIV since beta, and raided almost every tier since launch (on content!)Though did have a few I had to peace out in before clearing thanks to life.

Twitch highlights were over max capacity, so went down memory lane going thru clearing/backing them up. Eneded up rewatching a PUBG vod from 2018, and hadn't realized how much I've improved both mechanically, and mentally as a player. Crazy to see how far the channel/community has grown as well 😭❤️

Four thoughts on the Eagles cap situation:
1/4) The Eagles are clearing cash. Not because they are short money, but because cash saved today represents future cap space. They have an unusual number of elite players right now; they need the capacity to pay those on rookie deals.
