The Trump admin just moved to block Illinois from limiting swipe fees—protecting the Visa / Mastercard duopoly. After calling fees a “ripoff,” Donald Trump now says federal rules override the state law. 🚨 Banks can ignore it starting July 1.

The Israelis are demolishing homes in Al Qantara. This is about 15 kilometers east of where I am now and it shook the building. Destroying civilian homes and infrastructure is a war crime.

@RookToPawn @ryangrim Nah it’s all good. I occasionally use multi node fiber for some applications, so that was my frame of reference. Had no idea you could just get raw single mode spools and have it work for something like this ha

@max_wage99 @ryangrim Sorry if that came off more dickish than intended. I will add though, that if you wanted to do the same with a much more complex system, my understanding is you'd need thicker wire to handle the increase data. But little quad-copters are so simple it works.

Still can’t wrap my head around these drones basically dragging an Ethernet cord behind them
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim@academic_la

The IDF is struggling with a new system Hezbollah has perfected, the fiber-optic tethered drones. Technology used with devastating efficiency in Ukraine and which has now been used to kill Sergeant Idan Fox and wound many others. Here is what it means: 1) Hezbollah is using small explosive drones physically connected to the operator's control room via fiber-optic cables up to 10 kilometers long. Because the drone is wire-guided rather than radio-controlled, the IDF's electronic warfare units can't detect, jam, or shoot them down using their standard 2) The technology was developed and refined over four years of the Russia-Ukraine war, where both sides sought cheap, efficient weapons. It's based on Soviet-era concepts from the 1970s, but has proven highly effective in modern combat. Ukraine's defense minister called these drones a key component in their ability to defeat the enemy. Israel did not learn enough from the conflict. Hezbollah did. 3) They're cheap, effective, and lethal, so Hezbollah favors them over more expensive long-range missiles or RPGs. The drones are modified in workshops in southern Lebanon with added components like cameras, gliders, and explosives. 4) Technological interception methods have so far failed against these drones. In one incident, explosive drones were launched at an IDF helicopter evacuating wounded soldiers, one detonated meters from the helicopter. Soldiers had to resort to shooting at the drones with personal weapons. Israel's Defense Ministry has issued an open call for solutions. The IDF is sitting in southern Lebanon during the ceasefire as sitting ducks. Their long-term plans will not improve matters much as they plan to take over territory up to the Litani which will require setting up bases and provide many easy targets. The IDF does not have good answer to this low-tech threat, as it focuses on increasingly expensive hi-tech systems that are ill-suited to the modern battlefield which stresses cheap and ruthless efficiency to sustain wars of attrition.

@max_wage99 @ryangrim Guys, it's fiber optic wire, not an ethernet cord. My ethernet cord is 1/2cm thick. Apparently standard thickness of the fiber optic is 1/4mm.

It will always be insane to me that Trump’s platform was just like “we should give jobs to Americans and keep criminals in jail” and the left just started foaming at the mouth and trying to kill his ass.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says Iran has informed him they’re in a “STATE OF COLLAPSE” “They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!).” Hopefully this’ll be wrapped up soon!

@max_wage99 @JBPritzker If you support JB Fats, you are the JOKE. If so, I suspect you are either a over paid state worker or a incompetent teacher. The third option is a welfare mooch. But since your moniker is "maximum wage" I'm leaning towards a middle management gubbermint agency hack. Fess up.

Welcome to 220 Central Park South, where there are 118 residential units. The penthouse suite is owned by Ken Griffin. Zohran Mamdani and the socialists have been targeting this building as an example as to why they should, "Tax the Rich," to be able to afford the billions he wants to spend on universal childcare, healthcare for migrants, breadlines etc. Billionaires like Kevin O'Leary have been warning a Pied-à-Terre Tax will force wealthy people out of the city. Recently Griffin prepared to halt the "redevelopment of 350 Park Avenue, creating 6,000 highly paid construction jobs and supporting the creation of more than 15,000 permanent jobs in mid-town New York." The socialists have LIED saying there is 0 risk to the "Fair Share Act and the Pied-à-Terre Tax, saying billionaires won't leave because of amazing NYC culture. HAHAHA What an absolute liar. He is turning NYC into a communist ran slum. This man has no place in office. America has no place for commie idiots. PERIOD!!!!

@max_wage99 @academic_la Yes. No, cents per meter isn't astronomical compared to a $100k missile. No. Yes. So shoot-and-scoot. Hardly a ground breaking technique.

@max_wage99 @ryangrim They just send them out and leave them after. There are fiber optic cables littering enormous amounts of the war zone in Ukraine. It’s surreal, but that’s what war looks like now.

While everyone is repeating “build the ballroom,” in a robotic chorus, I did something else. I looked at who is funding it. Then I cross-referenced those names with the Epstein files. The story got a lot bigger than a ballroom.
