If you remember Gulf War II, you remember that the US military needed a whole year to move materiel and personnel around in preparation for invading Iraq.
You will notice that no such preparation happened prior to starting a war with Iran.
Trump literally thought he could attack a few locations, then Iran would beg for a ceasefire.
But Iran learned the hard way that if you negotiate a ceasefire with the US or Israel, those deals are not made in good faith.

YANWEN2016 2026/03/03 美国打击伊朗的主要目的不是为了摧毁其政权
🇲🇲（美联社）美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，以色列和美国周一对伊朗进行了猛烈打击，这场行动可能会持续数周。鉴于冲突短期内没有缓解迹象，特朗普表示行动可能持续四到五周，但他已准备好“远远超过这个时间”。特朗普说：“这是我们最后、最好的机会——我们现在正在做的事——消除这个病态且阴险政权带来的不可容忍威胁。”他还指出，美军决心摧毁伊朗的导弹能力，消灭其海军，阻止其获得核武器，并确保其无法继续支持像黎巴嫩真主党这样的盟友组织。美军称，B-2隐形轰炸机用2000磅炸弹袭击了伊朗的弹道导弹设施。美国军方周一表示，已在阿曼湾击沉了11艘伊朗军舰。特朗普前一天声称伊朗海军总部“大部分被摧毁”。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯周一表示，美国并未在伊朗进行国家建设，且有明确的使命。赫格塞斯说：“这不是伊拉克，这不是无尽的。”在宣布最初打击时，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾提到了这一点、并敦促伊朗人“接管”他们的政府。但目前尚无此类起义的迹象，因为伊朗人“不知道该为消灭压迫我们的人感到高兴，还是面对美国和以色列针对国家与利益的战争以及正在发生的恐怖行为保持沉默”。因此，特朗普也表示愿意与伊朗新领导层对话，该领导层将很快产生。

Late autumn in the woods can surprise you. You are walking though a forest of faded colors, many of the leaves already on the ground. Suddenly the sun bursts through the trees at just the right angle and the magic is back.

No shortage of husband cookies in Toronto
The main difference appears to be the addition of sesame seeds
The husband Cookie is a savory cookie with meat, garlic, egg yolk, pepper and salt. (I don't know what type of pepper. It's not specific)
I never liked it. I haven't seen many bakeries carry it in Toronto. One or two in Markham over the years.

老公餅:老公餅與老婆餅兩者均是婦孺皆知的廣東潮汕地區漢族傳統名點。屬最潮 -百科知識中文網
老公餅與老婆餅兩者均是婦孺皆知的廣東潮汕地區漢族傳統名點。屬最潮式月餅中用料、做工最簡的餅種，相比老婆餅，老公餅的餡心以椒鹽味為主，形狀也要大一些，和大大咧咧的男人倒有些相符。這老公餅給人以東施效顰之感。老公餅是一種用松肉、蒜蓉、椒鹽和蛋黃做成，略帶點鹹的口味。另一種是南乳的紅色餡，外面灑上少許黑芝麻，以識別老婆餅。與www.jendow.com.tw
Huh. Have not seen those. Sounds a bit over the top.
The ones at my favourite Chinese bakeries are not like that at all
It's not a proper husband Cookie if it's not gross 🤣
Maybe they just called it that for shiggles?
The husband Cookie that HK people know is a meaty cookie.
Who knows. Maybe someone decided the husband Cookie wasn't selling and changed the filling but not the name.
After a few generations, we lose touch and start to do our own thing too.
I am discovering that us diaspora kids have our own subculture that neither our parents nor the homeland get.
Ha. Of course. Scarborough.
That is way out of my range. The pics looks like a legit HK bakery. I have no explanation for their husband Cookie.

If you're in tech — or any fast-moving industry — and quietly wondering if you're good enough, or just exhausted and not sure why, you're not alone. I've been there too.
My Conquering #ImposterSyndrome and #Burnout syndrome class is March 13th, 9am-12pm PT. Built from tech workers' experiences, the tools translate across industries. It's practical by design: you'll try techniques during the session, see that others are dealing with the same things, and leave with the ones that actually work for you. Not theory — things you'll use.
