"We think it was done by Iran. Because they are very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The Persian Gulf is a dominant source of fertilizer. Though the region is best known as a prodigious source of oil and natural gas, its abundance of energy has spurred the development of factories that make the raw materials for many types of fertilizer, especially those that deliver nitrogen.

The US president said he “will remember” the lack of British support for his war with Iran in a scathing intervention which risks cementing the collapse of the special relationship.

I use RSS (it's why most of my posts are sharing engadget links.) It really does make for a MUCH more pleasant reading experience. Feel free to share some websites with RSS that you like! Discovery can be hard sometimes; I'd love to hear more.

Measles has been all in the news, dominating the headlines. But the once hot new trend is starting to lose its lustre as more people die from acute (more like un-cute) outbreaks of the disease. Luckily, our tiny friends under the microscope are revving up to remind you of the disarmingly silly sounding mumps.

Largely forgotten, fashion insiders tell us mumps is set to make a comeback in a big way during next year's season. We have an exclusive quote from one of our sources giving us all the important details on this not-so-dusty old disease.

Mumps! Its just so fun to say! I have mumps! Look at the lumps from my mumps!
- carolyn p mordentheaux, american infectious disease expert

As for us here at hex bear? Well, lets just say we're pessimistic as usual, but maybe bumping the mumps is just the panacea we've been waiting for.

I remember a couple of years ago I read up about the details on how QR codes are created. Specifically the masks that are added at the end to ensure that there aren't any areas with too much whitespace or something that ends up inadvertently looking like the corner of a QR code (that square inside a square thing).

And for some reason, I'm staring at two QR codes in front of me, looking at the details, one looks like it contains a pipe going around a corner, another looks like it has a bit of a star, which made me wonder... Why have I never seen a QR Code with a swastika or something else you really don't want to have on there? I've never seen any word on filtering out stuff like that when it comes to masking.

Am I just too bored out of my mind so that I'm staring at QR Codes like this with way too much imagination or is there something I'm missing?

EDIT: I'm sure it's possible to intentionally create one, I'm thinking more of accidentally creating one. Specifically when I see, for instance, a different QR code on the back of every seat in a train, for instance - you're generating so many, no human is going to check that.

3 days ago it took me 40 min to reach the top winded. Today it takes 37 and I'm still winded. I've been carrying grocery bags with my piss jugs to simulate a rifle and gear. Vros, I'm going to win the fucking medal of honor if I keep this up. The mountains around Tehran are child's play to a tier one operator like me.
