Why the fuck would you spell it “1st” if it’s not 1?

Edit: Pronounced “first”, which is not 1. I think people might be missing the point here

Why? It seems exactly as valid to me, and more valid if you like positional numberings of your physical stuff.

You just count the number of times you departed from an item in order, rather than the times you arrived.

Just going by population, you should about as much as you think about Canada.

Hmm. Unofficial Kurdish state in the north, typical Middle Eastern country in the south. Lots of Iranian influence. It had a wild ride thanks to warmongering Americans and Saddam, but as far as I can tell it’s settled down since the end of ISIS as a territory-holding entity.

Aside from the politics, it’s home to a lot of the oldest cities and ruins in existence. Like the rest of the region it used to be greener, but millennia of agriculture takes a toll.

The trick is that explosives react to form pretty much exclusively gasses. That’s where the boom comes from - suddenly you have gasses at the density of a solid, and clearly that corresponds to a lot of pressure by PV=nRT, as well as just common sense about how heavy gas normally is. Batteries tend to be full of stuff that doesn’t like to be gas, so you get more of a firey, sparky effect than “poof”.

The explosions pictured look very clean, and at this point it has pretty much come out how they made booby trapped devices seem like a legit product that Hezbollah should buy.

Is this the version of Islam the Taliban are going off of?

Fire in the hole!

(Credibly speaking, those weren’t battery explosions)

You bet your ass they’re tearing everything apart in a panic now, at least. Which might be a reason to stop at two devices and save the new shekels.

That’s more of a philosophical stance than any kind of secret.

No. Any rigged hardware dragnet that catches me will catch tons of “friendly” people, and I’m not important enough to personally target.

Probably comparable to rage comics.

All 4 of them, as of posting, compared to the 25 upvotes.

That gives all gif/jif stuff right now.

Oh, Lemmy.

I guess in real life that’s polarising…

On here it’s just preaching to the choir, thus the upvotes.

On the one hand, it’s a victimless crime, at least roughly. On the other, people have been shown incapable of making the obvious correct decision on their own.

Yep. Sadly, I’m not sure there’s another way for most people. On Lemmy we’re mostly nerds, but would most people have learned even basic math if they didn’t have to?

In some ways, the most motivated or talented students are just as ill-fitted to the production line system of education as the disabled ones.

Is there some individual news story this relates to?

A meme that comes quickly, goes quickly.

It’s not an actual organised group, if you didn’t know. Anyone can hack something and then say “Done by Anonymous”.
