if that was mixed with fuel, sure (15kt) but on its own should be a bit less (6.5kt)

20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate
i see something resembling a solution, right there
even if it was quenched the right way: downtime, helium, restarting the entire thing would also cost pretty penny, and maybe replacement of damaged magnet too if that’s what they did
you have no idea how fucked up middle eastern politics can get. first split by sunni/shia/other religions, then allegiance to syria/iran/israel/iraq/egypt/selection of gulf states, and sometimes by tribe/clan allegiance too just to keep things from getting too easy. then try to make a government out of like 15 parties all with divergent goals funding and incentives
i’ll make it shorter for you if you don’t have attention span for a paragraph of text:
pagers are probably a war crime, but it’s relatively minor compared to airstrikes that happened since (and before)
pagers thing is probably illegal pending extra details but it’s not the worst thing that happenes there. not like this case will see hague ever so it’s probably a bit moot on that ground
it’s middle east, there are no innocent orgs, except civilians, and no one has actual incentive to limit civilian casualties. i’d just wish that both likud and hamas lose because neither is compatible with remotely sane stable politics in region
fastest banhammer in the west (6 minutes)
well it’s gotta be more about how every lebanese govt since 2006 refused to implement UNSC resolution 1701 (that one about disarming hezbollah) and how it turned out for them
that’s how everyone does this for two years at this point, yes
slightly more refined version is crush switch, that is two thin metal shells in front part of missile. when it hits the target one deforms and makes a contact with the other one. used by, for example, french HOT-2 missile but probably many others considering how simple it is
you’re mixing up hamas and hezbollah, and if you want to go into rabbit hole shitshow that is lebanese politics start with Taif agreement
both in absolute terms and especially compared to continuing airstrikes, some with ai-cooked target list and including actual warcrime tactics, pagers were basically spotless in terms of targeting. the more likely illegal part was in booby-trapping pagers in the first place. westpoint lawyer take on the situation https://lieber.westpoint.edu/exploding-pagers-law/
90% of LLM training quits just before achieving sentience
she was stealing from cryptobros which is pretty funny and morally neutral, because cryptobros don’t deserve having money
on top of these 11 billion dollars recovered, meaning that these were stolen, she also lived rent free in whatever bahamas mansion was bought with sbf’s money, with all their ranked competitive polycule roommates
it’s 100% cooperation with the court that cut down sentence that hard
but she also spilled beans on SBF, that’s why she’s got only 2 years and not 25 like SBF despite being equally deep in the fraud
SBF used to be in brooklyn, then was moved somewhere to california back in may, but it’s written like he’s back in brooklyn so maybe he was moved back or something https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sean-diddy-combs-moved-section-new-york-city-jail-housing-sam-bankman-rcna172419
The unit is described as a barracks-style area currently housing 18 to 20 inmates who require special protection,
considering how small this unit is, maybe, maybe,
In terms of vapor pressure, ammonia behaves a lot like propane. You can store it pretty much like propane, liquified under pressure, but it has less energy density and high heat of evaporation so it’s best to withdraw it as liquid to not freeze out container
i think it happened somewhere around the time when microdosing got popular as an idea since that made psychedelics more palatable for normies. 2015ish i think?
