Trump BLEW the element of surprise in Iran.

I feel somewhat stymied at the moment.

Grandpa, perhaps I should explain that I wasn't talking about the trucks. 😉

Neither was I, what is your point?

Oh, it seems you were discussing lead-lined cannisters whereas I was making an oblique analogy involving teacups and learning. Could be wrong, though!

Seems totally inappropriate in this thread.
Just say what you mean, I am a big boy.

Good luck getting that idiot to understand anything to do with science.
What I thought was the buckets they carry the stuff in was lined with something like lead to stop radiation but like you said, it could be on the Truck, maybe both,
I had to deal with radiation on on of my jobs and for the app I was working on a half inch thick aluminum was enough to stop the radiation ...[text shortened]... y uranium that would be a LOT lighter.
But I never worked with uranium so I might be full of poop🙂

Which still leaves the fact Trump blew his element of surprise otherwise Iran would not have sent dozens of trucks to pick up the good stuff inside that facility oh so coincidentally 2 days before the attack.

Oh, at the time with the teacup metaphor I was actually indicating agreement with you that one of our other members/appendages might not be receptive to new information or alternative viewpoints.

I feel so embarrassed that this wasn't clear from the get-go. It's very much similar to a joke having to be explained if no-one else gets it.

As for me, admittedly at times it might seem I'm a hypersensitive sprout but I imagine I have been getting a little better at leaving such self-tormenting incidents in the past.

Thanks for clearing that up but it was mysterious to anyone reading it.

But aren’t you writing about mechanics, that you can wire a B-52? That is not military experience.
Oooohhh Sonhouse. Please don’t have Susie think you were in the war room, deciding whether to turn left or right when they got to Yemen..

You didn't answer this one either. Remember the Town Question!
