Agreed

Not a battery but sure, that’s what I was suggesting.

So what other kind of battery would a pager be using that might explode if not lithium? Hydrogen cell?

Definitely any of the showerthoughts communities

Exactly. I remember early days of smartphones before a lot of the safety precautions we have today were implemented, where we saw tons of videos of batteries spontaneously combusting. They expand, there’s a pop, and then a small burst of flame that will ignite anything it touches, like your pants, tables they’re sitting on while charging, etc. You can get pretty badly burned if this happens while it’s in your pocket.

It’s just that the videos that have come out of these pagers shows an actual explosion, as if they had been packed with C4. Enough to instantly kill some people with them on their person and harm adjacent passerbys.

Seems more like globalism is to blame. They were from a Taiwanese company but manufactured in Hungary.

Guessing the source of the pagers didn’t matter at all and Israel probably intercepted a shipment to plant bombs in them themselves. Lithium batteries can ignite, but they don’t just explode like that. There were bombs put in those pagers, be it by Israel or whoever else, coordinated as a targeted operation.

Because Wikipedia doesn’t serve ads or pay Google, so Google doesn’t like to make them the top result for a lot of searches they should be.

All new cars are spying on you.

People will pay a lot for just the land, even if there’s shit on it that needs to get removed.

View desktop site, that gets past this bullshit 9 times out of 10.

Fuck 'em on principle though.

Jesús put what on my croissant???

I was about to correct you, but then thought, no, I wouldn’t put it past the US to invade the Arctic when oil is discovered in the Antarctic.

French language be like:

Elon, probably:

“Our bot sometimes spreads misinformation? Unacceptable, we’ll fix it ASAP. The bot should always be spreading misinformation, ‘sometimes’ doesn’t cut it.”

What? I thought astronauts already had ice cream. Do you mean to tell me that all those museum gift shops would just lie like that?

They don’t need to satisfy the complainers, since they wouldn’t be paying for Windows anyways. They need to satisfy their corporate partners who will be paying Microsoft for Pro licenses and yearly Office 365 subscriptions.

It’s Microsoft, there’s always something to complain about.

I dunno, most steam power just involves passing an environmental burden down several generations, which seems like a scam to me.

Agreed. Fuck, I’d even say that’s just appropriate damages, not even just magnified to match their means. They killed a doctor. I’d want Disney to compensate not just for her life, but for all of the invaluable medical care she’d have been able to provide for who knows how many patients over a long career which was cut tragically short by sheer negligence.

If an article title is posed as a question, the answer is always no.
