    In pagers explicitly for receiving messages from a Hezbollah controlled network. About the only thing more direct would be putting more explosives in the rockets, but that would cause significantly more collateral damage.

    Focused on a single person who was in a car with a Hezbollah member when the pager exploded. Yes it's unfortunate she died instead of her father, but it's hardly proof of indiscriminate attacks.

    Not a ton is known, by from what I understand the explosives were part of a secondary board added to the pagers, which would also have the ability to listen for a separate signal or look for a specific one the pager received.

    It is a huge technical operation to intercept an order and replace it with modified devices without the target knowing. Particularly when the target has to be extra careful in ordering things in the first place to avoid sanctions.

    Shooting bystanders is particularly an NYPD issue. To stop so many negligent discharges they mandated an 11lb trigger pull weight, this is about double the pull weight of normal pistols. This makes if significantly harder to shoot accurately without intense training that cops also don't get.

    That really doesn't seem to be true though. There's no reports of anyone injured that wasn't a militant or directly related to one. This doesn't seem to be a case of 100s of innocent's to a single target, it appears to very much be the opposite. That is expressly not indiscriminate.

    It doesn't have a switch or button you have to manually toggle. There are safety devices that automatically disable by pulling the trigger or holding the grip, these are more common on pistols.

    Glocks in particular are incredibly safe when it comes to accidental discharge. They physically can't fire without the trigger being pulled.

    I'm not sure they need updating as much as there needs to be a second set for the absurdly in debt. The steps as written work well for 2-3 years at most, which if you follow them can pay off around 50k+ in that timeframe. If you have so much debt that it would take 5-7 years or more of that level of intensity, it's probably worth relaxing it a little to be debt free and taking 6-9 years. Anything forecasting longer than 10 years to get debt free probably requires going back to an even more intense effort to escape debt.

    A bit is specific, but you can probably adapt them.

    1. Bring back pork spending, it's over all cheaper to spend 100 million on some garbage than beating people into submission to pass something.
    2. Increase number of representatives significantly, makes some things less efficient, but also massively reduces the power of lobbying, and increases the power of localized activism.
    3. Limit length of allowed legislation per vote. Smaller more focused bills are ultimately better than sweeping legislation that attempts to address everything. More votes also makes working together easier with lower stakes and more opportunities to collaborate.

    That's just playing a shell game. The one showing up with money is the buyer. Writing it down on a piece of paper that the money goes to the seller then the realtor doesn't effectively change anything.

    It's a less used option. Most realtors have fill in the blank contracts that are generally ok. Real estate lawyers tend to be more expensive up front as you are likely paying 300+/hr to write up a contract. A realtor ultimately takes more, but it's buried in the shuffle of buying a house.

    Not going into debt is almost always the right choice though. Especially for cars. It's not about driving a $500 car forever, 6 months of average car payments saved and a $500 car can become a $2500 car, six months to a year later it can be a $4500-$7000 car.

    Companies aren't innovative. Once they land on a formula they just keep using it. Eventually it gets stale and the company crashes or buys another company that had a good idea and runs it into the ground. Innovative games happen when a AAA company happens to acquire an indie studio at the right time to give them runway to properly polish their game.
