TLDR (Brief Summary) (I edited from Apple iOS notes app, then pasted into Reddit mobile app and the bullets and indents aren’t working as intended and the bolded text didn’t either. Could someone let me know why? I’ve spent so much time trying to fix that lol, also I tried posting on the /oil subreddit and it was taken down again, so you guys saw it here first) The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 80 days. The numbers that matter: • Philippines: Diesel hit $2.49/L ($9.42/gal) in April before government crashed it to $1.45/L ($5.49/gal). Still +58% from three months ago. 400+ filling stations closed. 2 million people facing brownouts. First SEA country to declare a nationa...

**Glossary and Sources with Links at the bottom. Please let me know if there are mistakes or anything else I can do to improve it.** **TLDR (Brief Summary)** The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 80 days.

Still +58% from three months ago. 400+ filling stations closed. 2 million people facing brownouts. First SEA country to declare a national energy emergency. • Indonesia: Diesel at all-time high $1.49/L ($5.64/gal, +88% YoY).

##1 January 1965: The armed forces of Australia have faced a busy few years, [breaking up](https://old.reddit.com/r/ColdWarPowers/comments/1ocq2og/event_econ_the_coal_strike_day_36_and_day_44_if/) coal strikes at home and monitoring for communist incursions abroad. So, as the Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) enter the second half of the sixties, it is time to take stock. *Note: this post contains numerous retroactive elements.* ___ ##Forward Defence: Australia’s defence posture is structured around a concept of forward defence, in which Australian forces are expected to cooperate with larger allies to counter threats in Southeast Asia ...

I have had a hard time with communicating/expressing what I went through. I did my DTS and Staffed in Townsville. The most memorable time was when I was staffing the primary health care school. I was pushed to help with all the mothers in labor in the central village in Papua New Guinea where we were. It was the only village with a “healthcare center”. We were supposed to work alongside the health care workers in that village. Everyone came from the entire area, traveling days just to get there. But I was forced to help with delivering all the babies even though I only assisted on my first baby delivery a couple days before. And we had a woman come in with a retained placen...

##September 1960: Conveniently located on the outskirts of Asia, Australia occasionally thinks itself immune to the ravages of global conflict. Even in the darkest hours of the Second World War, Australia faced only a few Japanese air raids, escaping the grim fate of New Guinea and Southeast Asia. Yet as mankind enters a new decade, many Australians feel themselves as unsafe as they did in 1942. The radical, leftist dictatorship of Indonesia’s Sukarno has inked concerning deals with [Beijing](https://old.reddit.com/r/ColdWarPowers/comments/1pn8kmi/diplomacy_beijingjakarta_treaty_of_friendship/) and [Moscow](https://old.reddit.com/r/ColdWarPowers/comments/1ou5ema/diplomacy_indonesiansoviet...

Hi everyone, Our Google Business Profile (real estate agency in Phuket, Thailand) has been receiving a daily wave of suspicious reviews over the past week — mostly 3★ and 4★ with extremely generic comments like “Outstanding!”, “Amazing place!”, etc. The accounts often show abnormal patterns: multiple similar reviews posted across unrelated businesses and different countries within hours, suggesting automated or fake engagement rather than real customer experiences. Example review link: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/NRLHheWCS1dvEVER8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/NRLHheWCS1dvEVER8) We have already reported 15+ reviews in the last 10 days through the official GBP tools, but Google keep...

I saw Yeah, Me Too mentioned last week in a coffee shop discussion so I decided to try their delivery today. I hadn’t heard of them before but was intrigued. Fabulous. This may be the best coffee I’ve had in years. I bought the Uganda, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea. Price was fair. More than grocery store, but fair for a small roaster. The smell makes me so happy and their service was great. I am trying to support our small local businesses as much as I can. Give these guys a try. It’s the little things that make our city great.

> “Come out ye Black And Tans / Come out and fight me like a man / Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders / Tell her how the IRA made you run like **** away” — Irish rebel song by Dominic Behan, circa 1960. > “I keep my friends close, *and my enemies closer!*” — C. Montgomery Burns. A post made yesterday in this sub by [redacted], who claims to be from the Middle East in his flair, was the inspiration for this post. It got me thinking about a pattern of cultural disconnect I often see in this conflict, but seldom hear talked about in any detail. It’s my sense that this is a subject many people do not feel comfortable putting too fine a point on, or ...

Folks!!! Finally, after yet another year of working hard and/or hardly working and with much demand from the masses, I have yet another subject review for my second year of uni (I'll have to circle back with second year subjects since I didn't finish my second year media subjects). As a reminder for how I rate things, I use a scale from 1-10 with 5 being a perfectly average unnoteable subject with anything below 5 being mid and anything above it being a recommendation. Also, as was the case last year, completely happy to follow-up with any questions you have, am mostly just drinking beers and working for the next 4 months so Ive got time to respond. Hope this helps! Red Empire: T...

**What’s the Deal with U.F.O.s?** **Scientists consider whether we’ve been visited by aliens or their technology.** **By Matthew Hutson | The New Yorker** [Illustration by Lina Müller](https://preview.redd.it/6x60bzsilsnf1.jpg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4329654698adb67d2c2c040552084202eb08f70) When I was growing up, I watched a lot of sci-fi movies about aliens that come to Earth. The extraterrestrials in popular culture, however, always looked so familiar that I found them far-fetched. What are the chances that E.T., the Predator, or *ALF* would develop arms and legs, a humanlike face, and opposable thumbs? Perhaps as a result, I associated alien li...

**Chattanooga Metropolitan Area, Tennessee, USA** On Tuesday, a heavy rainfall hit Chattanooga and the surrounding areas, causing widespread flooding. In one day, the city received 6.42 inches of rain (more than 16 cm) — the second-highest amount on record. This is almost twice the monthly average for August.
