Would be nice if all militant preppers get rid of their electronic devices like this

At least one extremist echo chamber fewer.

I don’t know why you think this will be an isolated event, a civilian you probably don’t have anything to worry about in the same way you don’t need to worry about getting poisoned or shot but this is now an attack method governments will take advantage of.

I believe it’s ICOM, not Baofeng.

What are the ICOM IC-V82 radios exploding in Lebanon?

On that note, one review on eham.net from twelve years back for this radio is amusing:

Watch out for fake v82’s! Only buy from authorized retailers or someone who did.

We read on the news ‘Hezbollah pagers’ and assume that this was a targeted attack. But are we sure? What does it even mean? Who and how got those devices?

Hezbollah handed out these pagers to their combatants a few days before they exploded. Some were even still in their packaging.

It’s interesting who we call terrorists and who we don’t. If an Arab nation or organization had done this it would have been called a terrorist attack. Israel does it and people defend it.

Terrorist is a meaningless scare word for “people we don’t like”.

‘Terrorist’ is a shorthand for ‘Terrorist we don’t like’

Ok, but this is NCD. Would you like a flute of Trader Joe’s finest champagne? It’s not very good, but it’s free.

NonCredibleDefense

!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Create post

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don’t be an idiot.
