  • I don’t think the thousands of pagers built this way really count as “improvised.”

    That being said, it makes me wonder if this went in any way according to plan - 8 deaths and 2750 injuries is a large scale attack, don’t get me wrong. But they’ve now announced Mossad has compromised the supplier of the pager, which they will undoubtedly audit, and instill new policies on device security. I wouldn’t be surprised if that means they discover a lot more compromised electronics, allowing Hezbollah to pinpoint the compromise. Because 2750 survived, you now have 2750 people very interested in finding it.

    In all, for 8 deaths, they’ve made their own work harder.

    That being said 2750 injuries could be a large enough number to scare members out of the org.









  • Yikes. So this isn’t about me, it’s about 4 people who had lumbar or sacrum disc bulges/ruptures. Also over different points in time where medicine advanced.

    First was a music conductor about 22 years ago, 35-40 y/o. He opted for the surgery at the time. Full quick recovery. At the time it was about 50/50 for full recovery, or worsening of the issues.

    Second was a family member about 21 years ago, ~40 y/o he opted out of the surgery for deep steroid injections and physical therapy. It took about a year and a half, but it resolved, and no problems since.

    Third was about 12 years ago. Again early 40s, opted for surgery. Surgery was a success, but didn’t resolve it nearly as quickly or as well as the first person.

    Fourth was ~6 years ago, late 20s. Long history of back problems do to sports related compressions when she was younger (she was a ‘flyer’ in cheerleading). She was told she’d be an excellent candidate for the newest minimally invasive technique, but opted out of surgery and got the injections like the second person. However it did not, and has not resolved. She still refuses the surgery. It limits her ability to bend over, and get to the ground, still has pain and sciatica. She regularly sees a chiropractor (against the recommendations of everyone).

    I think, nowadays, a good orthopedic doctor will be able to give you the best care. It’s not fun, but it doesn’t need to be as scary as it used to be. Plus the symptoms can always get worse. You’re doing the right thing and listening to your body.






  • Ok, let’s point out how poorly timed this meme is.

    The election isn’t until November. It’s July.

    We did vote, and we can’t vote for any state or district that we are not in. Democrats won 2020, and avoided total disaster in 2022.

    Americans cannot and never have had the ability to vote in SCOTUS.

    The last chance the Democrats had at preventing this shit show was under Obamas first term when he could have briefly stacked the courts.
