American APCs packed with explosives become key IDF weapon in Gaza war
In recent days, the IDF has significantly increased its use of explosive-laden armored personnel carriers (APCs), that are composed of older M113 models rigged with explosives, which can also be operated remotely, as part of preparations for a ground maneuver in the heart of Gaza City.
At the onset of the War, the IDF’s Technological and Logistics Directorate developed a method to repurpose these APCs into offensive weapons. They are loaded with large quantities of explosives and then transported into the Gaza Strip and detonated remotely.
More recently, reports have surfaced regarding the development of explosive barrels that can be dropped by the APCs along streets lined with mines, amplifying their destructive impact. The force of these explosions is so intense that they can be heard over 100km. away from the Gaza Strip.

Lisbon funicular crash: Portugal declares day of mourning as death toll rises to 17
Portugal has declared a day of national mourning after at least 17 people were killed and 21 others injured when one of Lisbon’s famous funicular cars derailed and crashed into a building on Wednesday evening.
Those killed on the Glória funicular were all adults, according to Margarida Castro Martins, the head of the city’s civil protection agency.
She said the victims’ families would be informed before any names or nationalities were released, but confirmed that those injured in the crash included Portuguese people as well as two Germans, two Spaniards and one person each from Canada, Cape Verde, France, Italy, Morocco, South Korea and Switzerland.
Lisbon funicular crash: Portugal’s PM vows swift and thorough investigation
Luís Montenegro describes incident, in which 16 people died, as ‘one of the biggest tragedies in our recent history’Sam Jones (The Guardian)
This saddens me greatly. I was in Lisbon about a year ago and rode one of these.
If you don’t know what a funicular is, it’s a very short-range tram that’s specifically designed to take you up or down a certain hill. Lisbon has a lot of steep hills and even cliffs. There is at least one vertical pedestrian elevator that takes you up from one street to another.
Because each hill is different, each funicular is a little different. The incline differs so the shape of the tram car body differs, and the track may curve up the hill or not. They go for different lengths and have different sizes. So each is special and they end up being quite charming and emblematic of the city. If you know the celebrated cable cars of San Francisco, it’s not far off.
Really terrible to hear this news. And as far as I can tell, I rode the very one that crashed with my brother and 8yo son while I was there. My heart goes out to the city and to the families of the victims.

Canada's budget will focus on austerity and investment, says PM Carney
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday that the upcoming federal budget would focus on both austerity and investments, adding that current government spending was unsustainable.
Canada has been dealing with economic uncertainty since the start of the year, so the primary focus of the budget will be to cut operational spending and trigger investments into major projects, Carney told reporters in Toronto.
"It's a budget of austerity and investment at the same time and that's possible if you have discipline," he said
Say that to people who are about to get austered, just to make Carney's banker golf buddies a little wealthier.
We Americans know where this goes, and after Obama, I'm not willing to acknowledge this bullshit notion that one side is better because it's more publicly polite.
Oh, I certainly do: Watching Democrats and Republicans vote exactly the same way. Just wait, the Democrats are about to decline to shut down Donald's government again, and then see if you can still gaslight yourself into thinking there's any real difference.
Imagine having the power to limit fascism, even temporarily, and just saying: "Nah, don't feel like it."
That's the Democratic Party.
What the fuck are you talking about? Both sides are bad but only one is actively rounding up legal immigrants and sending them to concentration camps or El Salvador. They are not the same.
There are shades of grey here that you seem unable to comprehend. One party is measurably better than the other.
Picking the less worst option over the actual worst option are both roads that lead to the same place, one is a little longer and has better scenery, but the destination you end up at is the same either way.
Picking either one means you're going the wrong direction entirely.
Losing $5 and losing $100 are both bad but I know which one I'd pick. They are not equal and insisting they are is what led us here today.
The better solution is not to lose any money at all, and in the long term that's the goal. But in the mean time I'll pick $5 every time.

Thailand's ruling party seeks snap election to thwart rival's PM bid

BANGKOK, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The leader of Thailand's Bhumjaithai Party said on Wednesday he had enough votes to become prime minister after winning over the biggest group in parliament, as the ruling party moved to block his path by petitioning the king to approve a snap election.
There has been a dramatic scramble for power in Thailand since Friday's sacking of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra by a court, with Pheu Thai, the long dominant ruling party of the billionaire Shinawatra political dynasty, clinging on desperately to avert a humiliating fall from grace.

DUBAI, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates warned Israel on Wednesday that annexation in the occupied West Bank would constitute a "red line" for Abu Dhabi that would severely undermine the spirit of the Abraham Accords that normalised UAE-Israeli relations.
The comments by the UAE, the most prominent of the three Arab states that signed the accords with Israel when President Donald Trump was first in office, amounted to Abu Dhabi's sharpest criticism of Israel since the Gaza war erupted in 2023, when Hamas launched its cross-border raid from the enclave.

Russia says it captures 'about half' of Ukrainian city Kupiansk, Kyiv denies report
MOSCOW, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday that its troops had captured "about half" of the city of Kupiansk in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, but Ukraine's military denied any such advance.
Reuters could not independently confirm the battlefield reports from either side.
Kupiansk has been the focus of months of increased Russian military activity and heavy fighting. Russian troops captured the city in the early weeks of their February 2022 invasion and Ukrainian forces took it back later that same year.
Much of the city has been destroyed as Moscow tries to seize it back as part of a slow advance westward along parts of the 1,000-km (620-mile) long frontline.

Sask. RCMP raid 'Queen of Canada' cult compound, arrest 17 adults
Officers seized 4 replica firearms, no charges laid as of Wednesday afternoon
Saskatchewan RCMP arrested 17 adults, including cult leader Romana Didulo, in the village of Richmound on Wednesday after a firearms investigation.
At a news conference on Wednesday afternoon in Regina, Insp. Ashley St. Germaine said RCMP executed a search warrant at a privately owned decommissioned school in Richmound at around 4:30 a.m CST.
Didulo and her followers have been living for two years in the village of approximately 118 people, located 365 kilometres west of Regina, near the Alberta border.
Germaine said RCMP got a report on Aug. 25 of one of the building's occupants possessing a firearm. That led to the investigation that culminated in the raid.
"A team of skilled and experienced senior officers was established to oversee this large and complex operation," she said.
More than 30 police vehicles from multiple jurisdictions, including two tactical vehicles, were at the scene, Germaine said.
A livestream video, posted by Didulo to her followers on Telegram at 5:51 a.m. CST on Wednesday, captured the moment when two officers wearing tactical gear burst into a room where Didulo was standing.
"Leave the phone down. You're under arrest," one officer says in the video.
Didulo surrenders to officers and the camera is pointed at the floor for a few minutes. Voices off camera then remark that the phone is livestreaming before the video ends.
My buddies father in law was the mayor of that town when this shit all started. I wonder if he still is.
He told me they got family members of his wife to turn against them in town meetings, like HARD, like never talk to your brothers again bad.
They're fruits, but I'm betting "replica firearms" means "black powder". Yes, they can certainly be deadly, but my god, if you're never used black power, it's a monster pain in the ass. I can get a total of 3 or 4 shots off, reloading each time of course, and the barrel is too filthy to shove the next ball in.
BP guns are such a joke, even felonious Americans can own them, and most states allow them to be shipped straight to your porch. I have never heard of a crime being committed with one. LOL, it's like California banning modern .50cal guns. Has anyone in the history of ever used a .50BMG to crime?! OK, except Israel.

At least 15 dead after Lisbon's historic funicular derails
At least 15 people have been killed and 18 others injured after a carriage on Lisbon's famous Gloria funicular derailed and crashed, emergency services said.
Portugal's emergency medical service authority said that five of those injured were in a serious condition. The remaining thirteen, including a child, sustained minor injuries.
Several people were earlier said to have been trapped at the scene. They have all since been freed, authorities said.
Spain's Prime Minster Pedro Sánchez said he was "appalled by the terrible accident". Lisbon's mayor, Carlos Moedas, said the capital was "in mourning", adding it was a "tragic moment for the city".
Emergency services said foreigners were among those killed were, although nationalities could not be confirmed.
It is unclear how many people were on board at the time of the cable railway crash, which occurred near the Avenida da Liberdade around 18:05 on Wednesday evening.
Footage shared widely on social media showed the bright yellow carriage overturned and almost entirely destroyed. People could be seen fleeing the area on foot as what appears to be smoke filled the air.
One witness told Portuguese newspaper Observador the vehicle was "out of control, without brakes".
Lisbon crash one of our biggest tragedies, Portuguese PM says
A day of mourning has been declared after the 140-year-old Glória funicular derailed, killing at least 16.Alison Roberts (BBC News)
Judging by the location it crashed and somebody interviewed saying that "they were afraid it would hit the vehicle below", it careened down for quite a distance since it crashed near the bottom.
Mind you, that specific funicular doesn't actual travel that much of a distance (maybe 400m if I remember correctly - it's been a long time since I had a reason to go to that part of Lisbon).
Also because it's not that long a distance, it's actually faster to just walk it up or down for most people than wait for it, plus this was the one coming down (as deduced from there being one below), so it's quite likely that most people in it were tourists.

If you had an 80 year with CAD, and literally swapped out every organ you could, they would probably have an aneurysm and die within a few months. It would be like taking an old garden hose with dry rot and then pumping 5000gallons per minute through it when it's only rated for 50 gpm to begin with

Medical miracles have limits and drawbacks. Organ transplants save lives and drastically improve quality of life, but it's compared to a baseline of needing a new organ. Kidney recipients would much rather deal with anti rejection meds than dialysis. Heart recipients' alternative is to die slowly.

In a world with more even distribution of resources maybe it could work temporarily but eventually humans would either need to stop reproducing or enough people would need to die of war or starvation to justify continued reproduction.
A system like this ultimately amounts to eugenics as only the "haves" will have access to immortality while the "have nots" perish naturally.
Desiring immortality is an inherently self centered mindset.

I brushed it off bc of who was giving the testimony, but honestly this comment from Putin makes me question if there is some truth to that. If you were able to find a match with genetic similarities to yourself, it would decrease the chance of the organ being rejected. Idk could be just a random coincidence.
The accusations against China using re-education camps to harvest organs closely matched to the recipient aren't limited to only these kinds of organizations though. There was also this article released this past summer
