welcome . that is what a classical dead man ' s switch DMS would do . the specific setup in this case would be a bit more complicated , since JA was physically confined within the embassy . any system he would have access to he wouldn ' t be able to physically protect . so any intercepted transmission would give away the location , and the server could be seized . disregarding the specific setup this is what people have been speculating about for quite a while now . whether the switch has been triggered , whether it should have been triggered , whether the trigger was intercepted . speculations run wild in any direction . <| sep |> Thoughts on it ? Overall ? <| sep |> I bet he undercooks the onions . <| sep |> I didn ' t like chemistry and tried to avoid universities where I would have to deal with it . Settled down for biochemistry . I ' m now done with everything other than chemistry . I ' m working purely in organic chemistry , and I love it . So it was my best decision ever D
