The carabineers would function similar to a keychain, and you can use multiple carabineers to enforce organization.

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.

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

I haven't used this in many years so I can't vouch for the current state, but I've used synergy to share the same mouse and keyboard across multiple computers. I think this should enable your 4 monitor dream - 2 externals and two laptops.

You'll also likely run into a situation where a single laptop can't drive 4 monitors - keep that in mind.

EDIT: I don't know why you're targeting 3 laptops in the future, but I would heavily suggest looking at framework laptops. They're upgradeable, modular laptops where you can buy new motherboards to upgrade. Once you do upgrade, you can actually use the old Mobo as a desktop machine.

I just think of south Korean beauty standards and how I have a hard time differentiating all the kpop artists due to the homogeneous beauty standard being universally applied.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't really have a solution there :(

Y'all gotta try some Korean spas, they have them even in the US.

Those are super relaxing and luxurious.

First you shower, then you get REALLY clean by exfoliating your entire outer carapace, or paying someone to do it. You're not properly exfoliated until you have flecks of your dead skin flying off.

Then you take a nice hot soak in a series of increasingly warmer hot baths.

Finish it off with a plunge in cold water.

Yes, there are other folks of the same gender. Nobody really cares, you just do your own thing.

Walk out to the lobby, hang out with friends and eat some freshly made Korean comfort food, feeling like a new person.

My friend took me to one after a long day at a theme park, and it's changed everything, and now Korean spas are mandatory after each theme park. Instead of ending the day tired and sore, you're relaxed, and generally feel rejuvenated. Ending the night quietly enjoying some snacks with friends feeling the cleanest you've ever felt, in a place designed to make you feel warm, comfortable, and safe, is incredible.

Yup, a lot of great shows are being thrown around, but a good place captures everything you want - growing friendships and relationships, unravelling weirdness, and being a part of the team.

Trump's quote captures a sentiment that you'd be disingenuous to equate to policies of democrats, but that's just my 2 cents and I'm sure you feel differently.

Pretty naive take to pretend like the court is independent of politics, especially these days. "It wasn't the politicians that did that, it was the people the politicians chose who voted down political lines".

You're proposing that migration will continue to escalate because their labor needs to be leveraged.

Trump is saying he'll deport immigrants that they know everything about.

The two are easy to reconcile -it'll be typical Republican theater of making illegal immigrants lives miserable while paying them under the table to take advantage of their labor.

We were using Skype... Dark days.

I have not and I've now purchased the book - thanks for the recommendation!
