I agree the round disc and deliberately folded wire screams something to do with RF, but a) how powered and for how long? and b) why a chocolate bar if so?

It’s not like they hid a transmitter inside something that wouldn’t be taken apart or eaten, this was going to get discovered. Sneak a transmitter inside a PKM or radio, then let it be “captured” by the Russians.

Not everyone that is captured, has surrendered. In a war this thick with artillery don’t discount that the Ukrainians may have been dazed/unconscious before being overwhelmed.

Another war crime, another example of Russian barbarism.

Ahhh yes, the “only democracy in the Middle East” a bastion of individual and human rights, very aligned with our values, yes.

I don’t doubt at all that this media office closure is linked to the recent video of IDF troops desecrating Palestinian corpses by kicking the dead off rooftops. No association whatsoever, yessir.

The lesson he’s trying to teach, is that there is no ‘right’ lock, only ‘better’ locks. Layer your security and have an honest assessment of threats and replaceability. Locks really only:

1. Keep opportunist thieves honest
2. Raise the skill threshold needed to bypass, and
3. Take longer to bypass, risking detection for the attacker

#1 Can be achieved by the most bottom tier vendor-garbage stacked zinc/brass body lock #2 & 3 Is where most lock ratings come from, but nothing is perfect.

This monstrosity is what the military uses on secure ammo dumps, vehicle storage, etc and that thing still gets other dudes with guns protecting it. If the Army left it completely unguarded, things like thermite, oxy-acetylene, or grinding would not have any trouble getting past.

Inversely, your mid-to-good bicycle cable lock outside the corner store only really works because of the risk of exposure as people leave and enter the store. Bolt cutters might be a two-minute job all said and done, but there’s significant risk of discovery mid attempt.

The joy of niche music taste: cheap live tickets to small venues, and cool merch. Multiple times I could have touched their instruments from the floor section.

The pain of niche music taste: Depending upon their genre and your city’s size, they may never come nearby you. New York and LA get everything, Kansas City folk better like country and speed-rap.

Don’t worry, the IDF will investigate themselves and (yet again) find no deliberate wrongdoing but maybe admit that ‘regrettable mistakes’ were made. This legal fig leaf is required so that an actually independent judiciary cannot enforce international law.

Article 17 of the Rome Statute allows the ICC to step in and exercise jurisdiction where states are unable or unwilling genuinely to investigate or prosecute

As long as there’s some form of judicial action by an Israeli court, the IDF can push everything under the rug and get away with what they please.

Exhausted their forex reserves of yuan, yup.

I can’t imagine why China would be demanding yuan instead of rubles lately…

Aaaand now they’re exposed, suddenly they’re “victims”

In a statement on X, Pool said if the indictment was true, he was a “victim” and that he and other personalities were “deceived.”

Johnson said in a statement that he is “disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself and other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme.”

Jesus, why are there so many crybullies on the right? “We got caught with our hands in the Russian money bag, but we’re the ones truly being harmed guys!”

At some point to become a consumer your money and/or attention is voluntarily given to A Thing. That’s a choice. But with internet cookbooks, bandcamp, IMDb, CrunchyRoll, etc etc you have the ability to seek out precisely what interests you, with the only burden being discovery. Monoculture died with the internet, you being on Lenny is a testament to that.

Not really understanding where you saw a pro free market argument from what I said - my main point was that people like diverse options, and seek out variety, from within and without.

…then treasure yours and stop importing American culture?

IMO the big thing that America offers culturally is choices that don’t fit in the box of existing cultural norms. There’s no “American Breakfast” or “American Music” in the same way you can visually identify Finnish cinema or spot the commonalities in French cuisine.

And when I travel around Europe I see the influx of other cultures primarily via immigration (Berlin has döner, Britain has curries, Spain/Portugal has Moorish and African influence embedded) but at the same time I also see imported ‘American X’ without that immigration. Europeans have identified things they like that other cultures migrate with, but seemingly actively seeks out the things Americans make.

How popular are hamburgers or Taylor Swift in your area, compared to other Euro offerings like Gorjira or handball? France has a strong arts scene supported by the government, but the Palme d’Or rarely goes to their domestic films.

Agreed. A high norm has been ~6 tanks, 10-15 APC/IFV destroyed, and 800-1000 infantry casualties recently, this has “FIRE EVERYTHING” meme levels of panik.

And now there’s been a blocking battalion identified, not just ad hoc commanders enforcing ’not one step backwards’.

When it’s in their backyard, absolutely. When it’s a condor habitat in California - that’s fair game for logging and agriculture.

Another “outrageous lie” - just like the last time this happened and was filmed.

The ‘most moral army’ in the world folks.

Tankies should be pushing and shoving to actually fight “US and NATO imperialism” instead of drive-by shitposting

Again Israel attacks anyone and everyone standing next to anyone/anything they claim is Hamas.

• Civilians
• Hospitals
• Aid workers
• Reporters
• Mosques
• Hostages

Why are we still arming them? Repeatedly?

Stormy Daniels could have disappeared very quietly. She chose to be a witness instead, and Trump has borne the fallout from that case seeing the light of day.

Look at all the #MeToo abusers who fell from power and public favor - their behavior was “known” publicly in their industry but not widely across the country - and so they remained in positions of power and influence to continue that abuse.

I am old enough to remember when a “Hosted on LiveLeak” was a genuine content warning

You are not part of the community of Israel… You are not part of the national democratic camp which we all belong to in this house, and many of the people despise you. You are not partners in the Zionist enterprise. You are a foreign implant. You are an errant weed. Sensible Judaism spits you out. You placed yourself outside the wall of Jewish law… We say to this horrible man and those like him: you are a shame on Zionism and an embarrassment to Judaism.

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, after the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre.

I’ve haven’t seen such a strong condemnation of Jewish extremism or terrorism since from any MK or PM. The current lot are instead fanning the flames actively, and I’m glad to see someone in the government call Itmar out publicly.
