You seem to have linked to that before last night's escalation between India and Pakistan. Noice.

Also, are you interested in a browser plug-in that replaces "albedo" with "libido"?

Yeah that India-Pakistan thing is interesting. There's a lot of speculation and not a lot of data. It seems to me that if either side really wanted this to continue there'd be a lot of data and very little speculation. Here's kinda what it looks like to me:

PAKISTAN: ohhhh shit the hillbillies went kinetic

INDIA: ohhhh shit the rednecks want blood - quick bomb something utterly inconsequential

PAKISTAN: ohhhh shit the Indians bombed us but did a really shitty job

INDIA: ohhhh shit pretend we bombed something consequential

INDIA, PAKISTAN: points at clouds, whistles off-key
