the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be
A communication network for scientists and the military?
Reacher series is quite a nice read, except for a few. I've read the long earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter in the last two weeks. The books start slow, but are great page turners. Yesterday I started "Children of time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I had the book on my e-reader for some time, so I decided I should start reading it allready. Normally I'm more for the space opera type of books, so I'll see what I make of it.
You're reading wrong into my comment. I'm not annoyed because of the mistrust, I see where it comes from, and I've also witnessed some creepers from close by. However, the post literally says "and that's how men tend to be" in regard to Musk's behaviour. So it is seen as typical.
Another thing to consider is that I'm not from the US, so the things going on in my country might be a little less extreme. Not that I want to suggest there are no predators over here, but it is different.
I'm a man, and I don't like it when the behaviour of Musk is viewed as typical men behaviour.
I tried to open the original url for this, and wtf is that Anubis plugin doing? It took so long to load that I decided it wasn't worth the time to wait for it.
Finished "the long earth" and "the long war" bij Pratchett and Baxter. They don't read like Pratchett to me, but besides that they're actually quite all right, so I will be continueing this series.
It will not act as a Faraday cage, the holes need to smaller for that, about 1 cm max. However, wifi signals do get disturbed by a cage like this due to the low power of these signals.
Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.
Vance is somewhat of an expert on gender and sexuality though, being the cough fucker he is...
About 20 years ago, there was only dial-up internet available in my street. My parents lived about 200 m away from me in another street, and they could get ADSL. So I set up a wireless bridge to them, and it worked surprisingly well after some tweaking. Kept it running for a few years, eventually got my own connection because one day my dad called me because he needed the router password. Turns out he was also sharing the connection with his neighbour who was running an internet radio station.
People who complain about multiple once-in-a-lifetime events happened in their lifetime really are snowflakes.
dude. Jesus. Silly opinion
Yeah I'm done here. And hurt, I even said you're right!
Last three weeks I finished John Scalzi's "the consuming fire" and "the last emperox" and "the android's dream". Latter one was just up my ally, the other two were fine except for the villains of the story, they were too over the top for me. Somewhere along the line I also read Orson Scott Card's "the last shadow", I had read all the Ender and shadow books years ago, but somehow missed this one. It's not the best book in the series, way too much people for way too little storyline. In the last month and a half or so I've read the Beastie Boys book by Adam Horovitz and Michael Diamond, which was a good book to read on and off between doing other stuff. Basically I forgot to mention it before because I wasn't reading it during my normal reading time. Currently I've just started "the long earth" by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, it's a bit too early for an opinion on that one.
You're right, drinking distilled water is perfectly fine, just take a multivitamin to compensate for the lack of minerals.
Source for the salty foods? Salt in food is normally sodium chloride, not the calcium or magnesium which you need to replenish.
Can't find it right now, lots of articles online about electrolyte imbalance causing issues, but none linked to an actual source.
The toilet seat in the bathroom upstairs has two part hinges, where you mount two pins on the toilet and snap the seat and lid on. Something broke in the snapping part this week. Fixed it by removing some plastic from the clamping mechanism, put some epoxy putty in there and around the pins, then placed the seat back. It's still on there today, so it worked I guess.
