https://www.yahoo.com/news/hundreds-pagers-exploded-lebanon-syria-191132472.html Several experts who spoke with The Associated Press explained how the explosions were most likely the result of supply-chain interference. Very small explosive devices may have been built into the pagers prior to their delivery to Hezbollah, and then all remotely triggered simultaneously, possibly with a radio signal. By the time of the attack, “the battery was probably half-explosive and half-actual battery," said Carlos Perez, director of security intelligence at TrustedSec. A former British Army bomb disposal officer explained that an explosive device has five main components: A container, a battery, a triggering device, a detonator and an explosive charge. “A pager has three of those already,” explained the ex-officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he now works as a consultant with clients on the Middle East. “You would only need to add the detonator and the charge.” After security camera footage appeared on social media Tuesday purporting to show one of the pagers explode on a man’s hip in a Lebanese market, two munitions experts offered opinions that corroborate the U.S. official's statement that the blast appeared to be the result of a tiny explosive device. “Looking at the video, the size of the detonation is similar to that caused by an electric detonator alone or one that incorporates an extremely small, high-explosive charge,” said Sean Moorhouse, a former British Army officer and explosive ordinance disposal expert. And it's likely the compromised pagers seemed normal to their users for some time before the attack. Elijah J. Magnier, a Brussels-based veteran and a senior political risk analyst with over 37 years experience in the region, said he has had conversations with members of Hezbollah and survivors of Tuesday's pager attack. He said the pagers were procured more than six months ago. “The pagers functioned perfectly for six months," Magnier said. What triggered the explosion, he said, appeared to be an error message sent to all the devices. Based on his conversations with Hezbollah members, Magnier also said that many pagers didn’t go off, allowing the group to inspect them. They came to the conclusion that between 3 to 5 grams of a highly explosive material were concealed or embedded in the circuitry, he said.

Israel blew up the pager devices because it believed a secret operation may be discovered by Hezbollah, three US officials have told Axios. A former Israeli official told the news site that Israel had planned to use the exploding pagers in the potential event of an all-out war with the group. Benjamin Netanyahu, top ministers and the IDF decided to detonate the devices rather than risk them becoming detected, said one of the US officials, after reports that two Hezbollah operatives raised suspicions about them in recent days. "It was a use it or lose it moment," a US official told Axios.

I'm not interested in any of them.

She died from having an abortion. Abortion pills she took did not work as intended (well they did kill her baby) but also causing fetal parts to be left behind causing an infection. Also, Georgia has the ability to adjust their laws. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death So I would argue this death should be attributed to Kamala Harris and others' pro-abortion stance. -

The 1/4 pounder is always made fresh at McDonald's. It's a change they made a few years ago. I do always order my cheeseburgers plain. Add ketchup and pickles at home if I feel like it.

I'm a Republican Trump voter. I'm not sure if the rhetoric from the Democrats deserves part of the blame for the assassination attempts, or not, I do not like Trump/Vance talking about cats/dogs being taken and eaten by Haitians in Springfield OH.

McDouble is $5 here in Omaha. They must upcharge to $6 at some locations.

I got the $5 meal the other day. McDouble (plain), fries, chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce, Hi-C Orange. Pretty good.

You're wrong. He pointed out Trump is the first politician shot since Reagan.

No, don't think so. I saw it on FoxNews including a picture of it,

Based on the map of the course and where the shooter lied in wait it looks like once Trump reached the 6th hole green the shooter would be only 20 to 50 yards from Trump. Also Trump playing this course on that day was not scheduled. Also Routh has a Biden/Harris bumper sticker on his car.

He was a keeper in my league, the only league I'm in. I faced him this week. 52 points and I played Cowboys defense. I need 27 points from Bijan and Kyle Pitts tonight.

Thanks for this info mike. I think I might cut him. I have 2 IR spots but one is used for Jonathan Brooks and I can use the other for Jordan Love or Russell Wilson. I'll wait until I see a player worth adding. -

The entire Democratic voting base is comprised of people brainwashed into voting D because of peer pressure. Republicans for the most part, think and vote without succumbing to peer pressure.
