I saw a few clips on tiktok showing the iron dome defense system capturing the rockets and filmer seemed calm. I thought civilians are just fine. Hope this conflict won’t escalate any more.

I hope the same..., and unfortunately though the Iron dome is pretty accurate it’s not 100% therefore the direct hit of a bus houses and the 7 killed, no one wants it to escalate to a war , but no one wants another temporary solution as well

Not burning their fingers on the intense fire between shooting rockets back and forth on one hand and occupying land on the other hand and saying one wrong thing and one of the two (or both) sides will see you as enemy for ages :p

Not in favour of either side since generally both sides seem to have an unhealthy overdose of retaliatory testosteron in these situations, but from a neutral and specifically technical point of view: the Iron Dome is an amazing feat of engineering :bowdown:

 

It's of course always sad that those talents have to be used in a military way, but it is some piece of work.

 

And close to 50 deaths already by now :(

#1 clown in the world (or maybe #2, we had a guy suggested injecting disinfectant) Mahmoud AN registered himself for the next month election. while because of the coronavirus he was supposed to bring just 1 person with himself, he brought an army! (who cares about COVID anyway, just lots of people die everyday)

 

a group of his supporters (less than 100) spent a week next to his house, finally "convincing" him to go register to "save" the country. :lol::wacko: (I don't know if I should laugh or cry) in a normal country he should be in jail or a mental hospital by now.

50 deaths. Meh, that's nothing. Hamas had to make their presence known during Ramadan again. This stuff is as irrelevant as those mass shootings in USA. Global public doesn't give a damn about Israel vs Palestine Chapter 3647483 :dunno:

Always the same: Hamas leaders boast & act the big hero when it is just ordinary, low-ranked Palestinians being killed. They’re the first to run away & beg for mercy when the Israelis manage to target the leaders themselves. Has been going on for decades, yet the rest of the world keeps falling for the con trick.

The Israelis know the day they fall behind in the technical race is the day they all die, so they keep ahead.

    • Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format.
    • 1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. 
    • Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. 
    • It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum.   Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of.   With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free.  
    • Will they do a swim-off?   The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet.
    • Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores.
    • I'll give it a shot.   On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.  James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.   Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55   Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.   The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.   Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59     On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.   Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.    The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)   Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)   Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)   Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400     Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.    More results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Aquatics_GB_Swimming_Championships
