So, middle school

before is the really important one

Microwave point-to-point radios are fastest because they travel through air, but more importantly, are typically the shortest path possible by line-of-sight.

Being 66.7% of speed of light doesn’t matter terribly when you consider that the cable path is shorter by more than 66.7% of path taken by satelite link.

Wait really? Butterworth is more like honey than maple syrup?

I guess butterworth is just flavored HFCS.

Announce you’re a time traveler sent back…

Super useful when I have a half-baked idea or concept that I want to learn more about, but don’t know the lingo. I can explain the idea and it’ll give me terms to search.

Also, it gives pretty good ideas for debugging or potential fixes.

Not sure i’d ever “trust with my life”, but it’s a useful tool if you use it right.

It really is that simple. I wouldn’t chose it over wired, but it’s still pretty good. You’re going to beat the latency of satellites every time.

If you’re on a boat… fair enough.

Otherwise, look into WISPs… Wireless Internet Service Providers. Great for rural areas, the infrastructure is point-to-point radios, so it’s super easy to go large distances without the cost of fiber or copper cables.

Best part is, if you have any neighbors that are interested, they’ll often give you a discount if you let them put a sector antenna on your barn/silo. Or they can also erect a short tower if you let them too.

If there aren’t any in your immediate area, reach out to ones nearby. They’re always looking to expand.

“Conspiracy to ___”

The damage being done by alcohol accumulates, sure. But if you stop drinking, the damage is done. You’re not going to see more damage occur once it is out of your body. The poison doesn’t accumulate over time.

With lead exposure, the poison is the thing accumulating in the body. If you stopped your exposure to lead, it’s still in the body, doing damage over time.

Alcohol damage doesn’t accumulate in the same way.

Theres no safe level of lead, it accumulates in the body.

And digg. And reddit. And myspace.

Just wait, there will be “features” that are mandatory on most sites, only supported in chrome.

I bet the screen is less prone to scratching from anything in your pockets

Warm take, but that’s what makes a burger good

Physical locks and keys are also easy to bypass.

Especially if X# of cameras are down

Capacitive sensors don’t measure the body’s signals. Capacitance is a physical property of a material. The sensor puts out a signal and measures the response.

I can use a gallon of milk to scroll my phone. Just tried.
