I would explain it to you, but there are topics that simply cannot be discussed, regardless of how correct, important, and critical they are. I may as well try to tell you about the heliocentric model in the 17th century.
You are conflating things, and then also making my argument, but are unnecessarily cantankerous so you just want to argue. Are you a Brit by any chance?
Have you ever seen the school books that Americans had to carry around? They were/are 2"/5cm thick books, weigh a few pounds each, and kids carried around about 6-8 per semester.
You made my point in that European school books are a lot less heavy and also less physically voluminous. The theory behind American books being that more spacing and less information per page makes learning easier, even though all the evidence clearly indicates that is very likely inaccurate.
Even though you are clearly one of those necessarily contrarian types for reasons that are your own, my point still stands that even if you had lockers for other reasons, the fact that school books in most European countries in which I have visited schools, utilize books that are a lot less heavy and are more information dense and can easily be carried around.
What is it with you types that you latch onto meaningless and nonsense things like that you did have lockers, while totally missing the core of the point, that the argument was about the weight and size of books??? That sounds like something you may want to think about.
The 30lb backpacks were only a function of our deranged society, economy, and government. I am sure others here will be able to attest that education in Europe not only was better for reasons that cannot be openly discussed in our censorious society, but the textbooks were denser with information that was also better structured, while also being lighter in weight. Lockers are simply not even a thing in Europe because children are carrying less and they have standardized backpacks.
You are not thinking past the first point. Considering what these people have been doing lately, even if you are currently on their good side, what happens when you’re not or don’t want to serve them anymore? Think places like India and Brazil may be rethinking their supply chains right now?
I’m not sure which image you are referring to but there are images of lithium battery explosions blowing holes into counters and faces. There are some linked here.
I agree with this theory even though I am not even sure it would require a specific modification like the mentioned heating wire, if you can simply use the existing circuit with some instruction to cause component overheating with the same effect.
Another reason I do not believe it was an explosive is that a clandestine explosive installation would have resulted in far greater damage and included shrapnel. Because why would you not install very high explosives and shrapnel in a shape charge that directed the explosion into the likely body of the wearer if you are taking the risk of intercepting and making a physical modification.
This is also less Stuxnet and more infiltrating insecure systems of vehicles to drive by wire accelerate cars into objects. There have been examples of this
To repurpose an iconic phrase: You are quite zealous about knowing so much that just is not so. I asked a question and that caused your model of self and cognitive dissonance trigger to have struck a full scale alarm for some reason.
I encountered you types when I opposed the Iraq war and am therefore not responsible for mass murder and destruction and knew there were no WMDs too, but your intellectual brethren back then (perhaps yourself even) were also just as zealous about knowing what they know that was flashed on their brains through trauma just as today. Do you see no problem with the fact that it was the same plundering, lying, deceiving, evil, murderous government you now also just believe and fall in line with?
Why are you so fearful? Which of course it is, since no one with courage simply does and believes unquestioningly that which is most servile to there abusers.
