Sounds like you'd benefit from one of those large keyrings.

They open up at a single point, so in the morning you can see which one you want, move the entire circle of chokers around so that one is next to the opening, open it up, and grab the choker.

Also, no installation to the walls.

Nope. You're just simply wrong here

So in this case, I'd suggest that it was a targeted attack, because there's definitely credit due for setting up shell companies to infiltrate the supply chain to modify devices that are very much only for Hezbollah members to use for Hezbollah activities.

However, the actual method of killing wasn't precise enough in the sense that there were too many civilian casualties. I'm talking out of my ass here, but if the payload was instead ye olde polonium poisoning on a needle that you'd get pricked when changing the battery, for example, that'd be a very precise and targeted strike.

Great example to discuss! I'll point out that the r9x used in that strike is considered a precision weapon. Again, targeting and precision are two different things.

It feels like you're conflating the two - do you consider them to be the same?

At least several children were killed.

Are you saying that the children were holding the pagers, or are you avoiding my question of how many civilians were holding pagers that went off?

A targeted attack means you want to attack a single individual and know exactly where, how, and when to attack.

A pager that out of necessity has to be on someone for it to work seems to fit that bill.

Single individual: targeting the person assigned to the pager

Where: right next to the pager

How: explosion

When: perhaps the weakest point, if someone was sleeping then the timing wasn't right.

Again, my initial point is that it was targeted, but not precise enough. Targeted does not mean 0 innocents were hurt.

How many accounts have there been of non-hezbollah folks holding the pager when it blew up?

I carry one for work, and that shit is on me unless I'm sleeping, because the entire point of a pager is it can reach me no matter what, I'd be surprised if that deviated significantly for Hezbollah folks.

Blowing up a bunch of IEDs with no way to verify who they're hurting is not a targeted attack.

My understanding is that it was selectively pagers used by Hezbollah that blew up, which is a far cry from the indiscriminate planting of IEDs you're describing. These weren't dispersed at random throughout a civilian population. They were ...targeting Hezbollah members by being planted on them.

It was targeted, but not precise enough to keep innocents safe.

I finally organized and filed away the mountain of paperwork on my desk! It took some work but everything has a place again.

Ah yes this is the one that was annoying. Iirc it was always a greyed it marker, which was difficult to explain to new folks.

Glad they fixed it!

I haven't played in a while - is it still the case where the ssd destination isn't clearly marked on the map?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The website suggests it does. I just remember it served me well when I needed it.
