Was wondering what all the fuss was about. Accident? Terror attack?

It looks like terror, the load of ammonium nitrate was confiscated so that would indicate this being a act of terror. However the substance is so unstable it could also have been an accident,

Unstable and left to sweat in a sealed warehouse in a pretty damned warm environment for an extended period.

No need to hunt goblins when standard incompetence fits the bill

For Ingress First Saturday, we are meeting up with the players in Beirut on Zoom instead of having our own meet. So far there are more than 500 people that are going to join from around the world, and help raise funds for the people in the area. We are already in a Telegram chat and it is amazing what they are going through - and how positive people are. There really are wonderfully kind people in this world. They guesstimate that we will be more than 1000. I wonder if Zoom can host that many and how chaotic it will be?

You may be the first to test Zoom's concurrency limits in this way... but deep down, I think we all know the answer to the "chaotic" bit. :P

I see us breaking away to chat on our own after a few minutes. As Chotic is not something I willingly bring into this life. :lol:
