Shot in the dark here. Can anyone confirm or correct a latin translation to my credo Seneca quote?
Difficulties Strengthen the mind as labor does the body.
My effort at translation is...
Difficultatibus roborare mentis ut labore corporis.

I have a brilliant idea on how to counter Russia and China. We could focus on building up our partners in Asia and the ongoing conventional fucking war in Europe instead of a pointless war in South America.

New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Ai Corp CDS spreads is what’s gonna kill the ai rollout, my take. Market signaling no appetite for the projects. Nobody’s gonna buy your debt (or will, but at Ccc rates…) to build another datacenter if your CDS is >100bps. Even at 60-80 it’s dicey
