Eyewitnesses say Iranian government forces have begun opening fire,
apparently with automatic weapons and at times seemingly indiscriminately,
on unarmed protesters.
Hospital workers say protesters had been coming in with pellet injuries but now arrive with gunshot wounds and skull fractures.
One doctor called it a “mass-casualty situation.”
Despite the communications blockade, a recurring image has made its way out of Iran:
rows and rows of body bags.

As Iran’s Government Tries to Quell Protests, Accounts of Brutal Crackdown Emerge
As many as 3,000 feared dead as witnesses describe government forces firing on unarmed protesters.

La langue française est parfois si belle. Sur franceinfo: "Une affirmation répétée Š l'envi mais dont la crédibilité semble mise Š rude épreuve." C'est une phrase clé qui reflète la pratique de communication actuelle des entreprises et des politiques. Même en prison, Sarko nie encore.

'minicom' is a TUI serial comms program - ideal for when you're dealing with real serial devices and you need to play with baud rates, and the like. It's not fancy, and frankly hasn't changed much in ages - but it comes in handy. In the last year I've used it with an Apple ][c, JavaStation, and Epson-HX20 - but even more modern stuff sometimes has that emergency rescue serial shell.

Just set up a new "stop when we ask you the first time" challenge with the kid.
Classic thing we often ask him to stop doing is screaming (he screams a pretty normal amount for his age, but we're working on more productive forms of needs communication).

Instant new rule: you don't get points for stopping activities that you started just to get points.
