The Samsung Option: Rigging thousands of personal electronic devices to explode in users' hands.
Yesterday in Lebanon, thousands of pagers, made by a Hungarian shell company under license from Taiwan's Gold Apollo, exploded nearly simultaneously. This caused at least 2 dozen deaths including at least 2 children, and overwhelmed hospitals with hundreds injured, many gravely.
Today, a large number of walkie-talkies, portable radios, and some sources say solar panels did the same thing.
Preliminary amateur sleuth work finds that the shell company is a residential address in Budapest. This plot has Mossad written all over it. Apparently they were able to build in extra circuitry and a small explosive charge. The lithium battery within each device may have accentuated the effects of the explosive, but the blasts that got unleashed were not typical of lithium battery explosions.
The attack was supposed to target members of Hezbollah, but like many such attacks under this pretense, harmed a large number of innocent bystanders, and also many staff members of hospitals who are required to carry pagers not smart phones. Interestingly, one hospital NOT so affected was the American hospital where all the pagers got replaced the day before in the name of security upgrades.
I think this was an October Surprise that the perpetrator couldn't wait till October to launch. Just watch, American warships and American warplanes and American ground troops will get pulled into this. Iran will get involved, and so will Russia and China.
Perilous times. Will America the superpower dog allow itself to get wagged? The next several days have a lot of peril hanging over them. The Doomsday clock has never gotten this close to midnight.
Can people, and I mean all people in all nations, trust personal electronic devices ever again?
Side note, waaay back in the 80s, there was a movie with a plot point where a Bad Boy in a juvenile prison collected chemical fertilizer from his assignment in the prison garden and with this rigged a bully's giant 80s Boom Box to explode next to his head.
Read MoreIs it worth explaining after this?
Is it worth explaining to a chick which flaked multiple times that my intentions are only to go out rather than texting? I think no, but it's setting standard, or should I just ignore her and ghost her? Since If she doesn't like me from the start she won't later so what's the point of texting.
If this is the same girl you mentioned last month, then as frustrating as this experience has been for you it's good to know that you're finally coming to understand that she isn't interested in you romantically and that there's nothing you could possibly do to inspire her to be interested in you. Hopefully, you find this useful moving forward.
Have learned so much here. I have much improvement to make and do. Stupidly tried to impart the 9 Iron Rules to those who are too far gone and can't accept it. They just don't and may never will understand. It's flabbergasting to me how much they resist. My mistake. Don't talk about Fight Club.
To help you on your journey, consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.

St. Joseph of Cupertino September 18th | Saint of the Day
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb7RSMMTg7U
St. Joseph was born in 1603 at Cupertino, in the diocese of Nardo in the Kingdom of Naples. After spending his childhood and adolescence in simplicity and innocence, he finally joined the Franciscan Friars Minor Conventual. After his ordination to the holy priesthood, he gave himself up entirely to a life of devotion to the Lord and his church. His deep devotional life led him to the kind of holiness which is forged through humility, voluntary mortification, and obedience. He was consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and promoted devotion to her among all classes of people as wonderful path to a deeper Christian life and love for Jesus Christ.
