The UN is a diplomatic organization. It is a forum to discuss things and literally has no actual means to enforce anything. Its goal is not enforcement, it’s to discuss.

They did that to Hezbollah in Lebanon, not to Palestinians.

Apparently they actually installed explosives into the pagers themselves.

According to the article:

But a former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the pagers would have likely been packed with between 10g and 20g of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.

I don’t know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something’s fucky. I can’t imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.

Israel’s doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can’t see how this one would be their fault.

According to your own link, the USA is not even in the top 10, which are actually all in Europe.

In Quebec we often call them “crottes de fromage” which literally translates to cheese turds.

It’s just a little thing called style, perhaps you’ve heard of it?

I’ve been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It’s so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they’re easy to swap.

Woop woop, that’s the sound of the police

Just a reminder that the guy in charge of the USPS is the same guy as in 2020 when they tried cutting back postal services and decomissioning sorting machines in the run up to the election in “an attempt to be profitable.”

Cubic warming is getting out of hand, I swear! I’m sweating my blocks off.

I live nowhere near the tropics. In fact, I live in a place where I could actually see polar bears and arctic foxes if I was so inclined. I like that they exist, but I don’t want them anywhere near me, as specist as that may sound.

How much you wanna bet that if this was an artic fox, or polar bear attack, the words inner city would never have appeared in this article…

Ok, that’s fair, but polar bears and arctic foxes aren’t known to frequent the tropics.

IIRC Doom didn’t have a skybox per se, just parallax ceiling textures. You could put that texture on floors or ceilings and it would show the sky texture that would not be attached to the walls.

Nobody wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli.

Looks like a limited bomb to me.

Bamboozled! Foisted! Smeckledorfed!
