I thought they catch fire and burn down slowly.
Correct. Both the recent pager and radio attacks, and the 1996 cell phone attack, were performed by planting military explosives inside the devices in advance.
There is no magical way to hack the electronics to make a lithium battery straight up explode.
Also, Israel already assassinated someone by exploding their cell phone way back in 1996.
Technically I think that’s still “put us first on the search bar” money. You’re giving the real under-the-table explanation.
This is missing a “just right” image for reference, and so everyone can criticize the author’s cookie preferences.
Uranium doesn’t usually glow in the dark? If you can see a blue glow, you need to get the heck out of there, or submerge it in a lot of water.
Cheese Kurds would be a little cannibalistic.
Fracking has granted the United States independence from OPEC, and turned the US into the largest exporter of oil. The US now has the pricing power on the world oil market. This has huge geopolitical implications.
Back in the 2000s it was completely different. All of the geopolitical wonks were pushing renewable energy as a means of OPEC independence. And now that independence has been granted, but we still have the oil.
Meanwhile, as others have stated on this thread, the immediate problems from fracking have been mostly fixed, including the earthquakes. Long term, I don’t think anyone knows what’s going to happen with all of that dirty wastewater going back into the ground.
So on balance, there’s a good reason for the leadership in both parties to be on board with fracking: oil still rules the world, and fracking lets the United States rule the oil markets.
Not sure the tank periscope system was properly accounted for, either.
You could also maybe, just maybe, make an argument for barbecue.
Hamburger steaks from (checks notes) Hamburg.
Apple pie from the Netherlands.
New Orleans king cake, imported from France.
Chicken fried steak invented in Texas by Czechs who had cheap beef, but wanted schnitzel.
I have yet to find 100% home grown American cuisine in America, but it’s all delicious.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + … = -1/12
I went to labcorp for a while when I needed monthly blood draws for my doctor.

Even worse if you think your idea is just the best darn thing to come along since sliced bread. And then Dr. 1995 comes along and lays out the whole thing in a footnote in a paper on a different topic.
“Watermelon Man” by Herbie Hancock has a beer bottle solo credited to Bill Summers.
If you’ve met the deductible for the plan year, the deductible is now off the table. And presumably you need to look at your policy to see what it covers after the deductible is met.
“50% before deductible” is an odd term that I haven’t seen in an health insurance policy. Usually, coinsurance doesn’t kick in until after the deductible is met.
criminal lawsuit?
What? Do they mean “criminal prosecution?”
I think a lot of people understand the concept of light-seconds, which can measure distance in seconds.
Allow me to introduce the gravity-second. 1 gravity-second of mass-energy is enough mass-energy to have a Schwarzchild radius of 2 light-seconds.
Set G = 1 and c =1. Then equations like r = 2m make dimensional sense.
Well, which one is it?
