    @Axtremus said in Netanyahu hospitalized: Hospitalized again: https://news.yahoo.com/israel-edge-netanyahu-hospitalized-ahead-085215330.html See my comments in the original post. Could still be an AICD (which can function as a pacemaker). No reason to "implant" a monitor. Ah... https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/23/israels-netanyahu-recovers-from-heart-procedure-while-his-judicial-overhaul-moves-forward-00107719 Professor Roy Beinart, senior physician and director at the Davidai Arrhythmia Center at Sheba Medical Center’s Heart Institute, said doctors had decided to monitor Netanyahu because he had suffered from a “conduction disorder,” or irregular heart beat, for years. He said in a video that the prime minister needed the pacemaker because he experienced “a temporary arrhythmia,” or irregular heartbeat, Saturday evening. "Pacemakers" don't treat arrhythmias, they treat heart block and slow heart rate. AICD will treat an arrhythmia (such as v-fib, v-tach).

    One they were off on, was the Kentucky Rifle. It's true the Kentucky used a smaller bullet at a higher velocity. Less bullet weight, less powder, higher velocities, flatter trajectories and higher accuracy. But the Kentucky had a serious flaw...fouling would render it useless, while the Brown Bess was still thumping out rounds. Because of the way armies tended to fight in those days, muskets were more effective overall. Rifles were great weapons, IF you used them appropriately.

    Interesting. I wonder if it had been done ten years earlier, before so many experienced hands retired or made other arrangements due to the pandemic.

    It is difficult to believe they were that successful at cleanup after such a bloodbath.

    Look at France - 46% from "other." The French are heavily reliant on nuclear, iirc.
