1. There was a humongous explosion at a Russian ammo depot west of Moscow. Rampant speculation on the cause. Was it a long range NATO missile, like Zelensky has been begging for? A drone attack attack from the neighboring Baltic states, which would be a huge escalation? Or maybe it was just incredibly sloppy munitions handling and an accident.
Or maybe the Russian munitions techs just got a fresh shipment of pagers in.

"Hezbollah hides numbers killed in attacks, Radwan force loses much of command structure
Lebanon reports 26 killed over two days of pager and walkie talkie explosions, but estimates are that the pager attack alone killed dozens of Hezbollah members and maybe more, while elite Radwan (their special ops) force commanders were decimated"
I have it on good authority that elite Radwan commanders are niether women nor children.

BREAKING: The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic, cutting rates by 50 basis points.
The Fed says it has "greater confidence" that inflation will return to a normal level.
The cut was more aggressive than what many expected. 105 of 114 economists expected a cut of 25 basis points.
"The move will have a major impact on the finances of Americans across the board, making borrowing cheaper, though the golden days of high-yield savings instruments may be over," Forbes reported.

For a brief time, 6 months or so in 1942-43, an American army fought an enemy who had air superiority. Not air supremacy, but still.
The Army taught GIs in N. Africa to identify friend or foe aircraft using the WEFT acronym: "Wings! Engine! Fuselage! Tail!"
The GIs said that WEFT stood for "Wrong Every F****** Time."

At one point he as asked what his sincere belief is about the election, and obviously he predicted a win, but he went into detail, saying their numbers show Kamala is struggling in the states she needs to win, and that right now he's 60/40 with 60% being an early night where they win comfortably, and 40% being a close one but they still win.
Either way he didn't think it would be a "three days later we still don't know" sort of thing.

Yet beneath the double standards, which are painfully predictable, there is something else, too. Something even worse. It’s the flagrantly bigoted belief that everything Israel does is a war crime. This nation can’t do right for doing wrong. If it fights its Islamist foe from the air, as it is doing in Gaza, it is committing a crime. Yet if it plants deadly weapons directly in the pockets of the Islamists who want to destroy it, that is also a crime. If it bombs neighbourhoods in Gaza where Hamas lurks, that is ‘indiscriminate slaughter’. Yet if it behaves in a highly discriminating fashion and puts mini-bombs in the trousers of terrorists, that is ‘barbarism’.

This is indeed being discussed as one of the benefits of this operation. Removing a large number of comparatively important players from the board, bam, all at once, without any operational losses of your own. In addition there will be the social/economic burden of treatment and long-term care for many.
Many of those believed to have had the 'splodin walkie-talkies today were in the Radwan Force, Hezb's best-trained/best-equipped unit. The pagers of course were also given to the relatively senior types (incl. the Iranian ambassador). Altogether, potentially a truly (and historically unprecedented) pre-emptive blow to an enemy.

I saw an old schlub climbing the stairs at the local Jewish Community Center today while wearing a "Harris Walz" t-shirt. He was seated, and apparently winded, when I came back upstairs five minutes later.

There is a rule of thumb of war fighting that says if you lose 10% of your force over a month, that is acceptable and does not impact the overall plan. But if you lose 10% in one day, you are failing and in jeopardy of defeat.
This was a brilliant stroke by the Israelis.

Less than three months ago, Hezbollah made the move to switch from cellphones to pagers to evade Israel's high-tech surveillance. And within that short span, Israel managed to plan and flawlessly execute one of the most daring operations. Incredible!

Well yeah flagrant bigotry and hatred obviously are involved.
But more relevant is that these people are simply ridiculously wrong in every detail. They use "war crime" as a vague epithet, with no connection to the actual meaning. Gaza, for example, has Hamas committing war crimes in nearly everything they do, by deliberately seeking military advantage by mingling combatants with non-combatants and using protected sites the same way. By contrast, Israeli strikes on them comply with actual customary and formal law of armed conflict - actually they seem to follow standards well above those.
Like so much else in today's world, preposterous factually incorrect slanders and fantasies constitute the entire "position" of vast swaths of people and entire institutions.

They chose pagers because they were considered harder to intercept than cell phones. Also, the were meant to transmit orders and information, not be communications tools. They were supposed to be independent of the cell phone system which can be used to identify and locate the phones.

As several posters stated during the daytime threads, pagers are still used by hospitals and volunteer fire departments, because it is super easy to send out a general call to the entire workforce. Much easier than trying to call X number of cellphones.

One should note that sounds travels faster in a solid medium, such as string, than it does in air. I wonder if one could use length of plastic tubing, filled with water, to transmit sound from one station to another? Coupling it to the diaphragm might be tricky.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 19, 2024 12:45 AM (iPe48)
Optical light transmission, transmitting through lenses so very tightly focused into a narrow beam, as to lead one to think they were trying for Laser. These, "firing" through a 35cm length tube, so as to further the "aimed" light effect.
Receiving instrument, An optical sensor, placed as far as two miles away.
In those days, damn near undetectable, and damn near un INTERCEPTABLE. Limitation, the "baud rate", noise/clarity/filtering of the signal over distance.
Inverse Square Rule on the "carry" of light, was a brass plated bitch, then and now.

There are two different mechanisms here. In the one case, transmitter and receiver are coupled mechanically, i.e. two diaphragms mechanically linked so that when one vibrates, the other follows.
That is different than conduction, where the medium itself (say, the air) experiences compression and rarefraction.

But it is all conduction. I say "pop" into the one can, and the diaphragm moves away from my lips, momentarily reducing tension in the "string". That sends a rarefaction pulse down the line, and the other diaphragm "pops" air into the listener's ear. That cannot happen any faster than the speed of sound in the solid medium of the spring.

I understand what you are saying, but in the one case the 'string' moves linearly in one direction, then the other. There is no perpendicular 'wave' set up in the string. The diaphragms are modulated by the inelastic string. If that were not the case, then a limp string would work as well as a taunt.

Seems a similar stupid relationship as our Federal vs States.
A) The Feds get all their money from the States/EU gets all its money from member States/Nations
B) It doles out the money and thus somehow 'controls' the originators of the money.
So, if Hungary gets shorted it could just send less next time. There's always the threat of EXITing.

Now I'm trying to remember a bit about waves in materials. For solids, you can have both transverse and longitudinal. The former are shear waves, and the later are "pressure" (tension/compression). Liquids and gases don't usually support shear waves, although very viscous ones can -- take away the sides of a container containing water, the water collapses because it can't support shear, but for a very thick liquid, it would only slowly "seek its own level".
In a long wire/string under tension, IIRC longitudinal waves ("sound") travel much faster than transverse.

Waves in liquids reminded me of this I stumbled across a few days, Astronaut Don Pettit's remarkable "playing with shit in zero-g" experiments on the ISS:
https://tinyurl.com/m2euhb2
This is utterly fascinating stuff to watch. He does exactly the kind of stuff I'd do just to see what happened. At about 14 minutes in, he gets to playing around with floating bubbles of water. He fills one with air producing a sphere of water with a smaller sphere of air inside. Then he shoots tiny bubble of water inside the air bubble and watches the complex behavior.
Watch those bubble oscillate with various waves.

Don Pettit had quite an adventure. He got stuck on the ISS after the shuttle fleet was grounded due to the Columbia disaster. He rode home on a Soyuz finally, and that turned into a near disaster.
At the time, they didn't have any high bandwidth system, so he could only transmit very low quality versions of those experiment videos back to earth. He wanted to bring the high quality video he'd recorded back.
The Soyuz was cramped, hardly any room to bring the "tapes" back. He couldn't leave them up there, as they would degrade (long term radiation events, IIRC).
So he brough them back in a little pack sitting his lap....
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 19, 2024 02:30 AM (w6EFb)
Now, coming back, that Soyuz suffered some mechanical failure which caused it to go into a steep, "ballistic" reentry profile, which produces very high g forces. He endured about 8g max with that package in his lap. It was the equivalent of several hundred pounds pressing on him.
The capsule landing way off target, then bounced and rolled. He ended up strapped in his seat hanging upside down for a while until the recovery team got there.
There's some video of them pulling him out. He just sort of collapsed on the ground, looking ridden hard and put up wet.
But he saved those videos.

I hate cooking up a pound, but I love having cooked bacon slices in the freezer. When you want a bacon, egg and cheese on a roll, a classic breakfast sandwich here in NYC, having cooked bacon in the freezer makes cooking all that bacon up worth the time it takes to do so.

They bothered me every two weeks or so from the time I was twelve. I learned to work, study, and power through them. When one was beginning to fade, I found a Coke often knocked it out and made me feel like I was reborn. Usually they'd vanish overnight . . . but when they began to last into a second day when I was about forty, I got the Rx. Suddenly one day I found the bottle in the medicine cabinet and they had expired six months before -- and I realized it had been that long since I'd had such a headache. They haven't come back.
I understand Seldane got yanked from the market around that time. Not sure why.
