- Comment on Pagers and walkie-talkies over cellphones – a security expert explains why Hezbollah went low-tech for communications. 2 months ago:
Your pocket bomb doesn’t have any actual bomb in it (unless the Israelis put some there, like the Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies.) They can burn fast, but afaik they don’t explode, just like gunpowder doesn’t explode. It burns very fast. On the other hand, they can produce gas and burst the battery pack, which might be considered an explosion, but I’d argue it’s not actually one.
Which isn’t going to make someone who has it happen in their pocket feel any better.
If I have my physics wrong, please correct me, I’m not a lithium bomb expert :)

Yeah it just doesn’t let up here for a few months. I don’t think we’re going to hit the record set last year for 110°+ days (55 iirc.) I bike early morning when it’s “cool” at 85°ish. Cause doing stuff outside in the middle of the day gets you this.
