The Kremlin must have stopped sending out payments to them. The dirty money dries up (presumably due to sanctions?) so Meta finally gets a conscience.
Me too. My initial guess is it's something along the lines of a Stuxnet infection of the targeted pagers, which had the operating systems do something that caused the batteries to overheat and explode.
But the fact that they all exploded at the same time is very interesting. You'd think that do ing that by overheating the batteries would see them explode at slightly different times due to local environmental variables.
ETA: As others have pointed out, this must be more than just a lithium ion battery overheating/exploding. I read somewhere that Hezbollah inserts a self-destruct explosive into their pagers in case of emergency. And it sounds like the Israeli intelligence forces probably hacked into their network and triggered the detonations. So it's probably a combination of Hezbollah's paranoia combined with old school hacking from Israel.
It's interesting to me how Ackman was portrayed in the 2016 Betting On Zero documentary as some kind of social champion for the poor who wanted to end the exploitation of regular working/middle class Americans by Herbalife.
When watching that that depiction of Ackman rang hollow, no matter how hard they tried to push that narrative. It just seemed like a financial battle royale where both sides were scumbags. And now, of course, that's been confirmed (yet again). He's just another entitled ultra-rich asshole peddling bullshit for his own selfish, exploitative intentions.
I don't understand what her accidentally decapitating Wong brings to the story. Manufactured drama? It sounds like if she just peaced out into an alternate reality at the end to be with her kids then that would have been a decent ending. She could have been the hero she deserved to be and then had a bitter-sweet ending of leaving her friends to find happiness elsewhere. And Wong would still be around.
Maybe that's why people leave his rallies in droves. The breeze starts blowing the wrong way, and the crowds get his diaper+BO stank right in their faces.
Oh definitely. I already knew he's a dirty player, but he's just proving to be whiner too. Even if he did have a fever or jetlag or whatever, he needs to take the L on the chin.
Yeah I was reading about this earlier. Apparently all national teams arrange travel for their players to get back to their clubs. But sometimes it can take longer than the player or the clubs would like.
So basically every PL club arranges alternative (and expedited) travel plans for their players, so they can come back from international matches more promptly.
Well, all PL clubs except for the spuds. And that's where Romero's complaint is coming from.
