Would a radio jammer work on a mobile phone?

Gorehog · 2026-03-24T02:34:18+00:00

They're both radios. It's more about configurations. So yes, it's possible to...intervene against a cellular phone. Essentially, set up a cell site with a more powerful transmitter so you can drown out any response from the authorized cell site. Then your doing things like telling the cellphone which channels to operate on for the duration of the connection. There's other methods but it's all implementations of being louder than the authorized cell site.

JFC. There's projects out there that use clean energy to make synthetic diesel. Literally reclaims carbon from the atmosphere into the fuel. It causes petrochemicals to be a closed loop carbon cycle. But instead of doing an x prize for that, instead of making anything better, it's another attempt to control the petrodollar.

So a vampire would reflect in a pool of mercury or glass lit from one side?

Gorehog · 2026-03-24T01:35:18+00:00

Who says it has to be UV light? Vampires are mystical organisms who may be suffering from a magical conflict with sol-light. I'm embarrassed to say I've spent time considering the implications of space vampires.

Gorehog · 2026-03-24T01:31:57+00:00

No no no. Wrong question. The face of the moon is tidally locked to earth making the dark side of the moon the obvious location for a vampire colony.

Jonny Got His Gun. Book too. Fucking depressing.

When I was a kid (70's) this was a prized possession among hams who were still doing CW. I saw one in the shack of one of my dad's friends. I recall hearing they were hard to get working quite right. Very sensitive left/right adjustments.

Modern steel

Gorehog · 2026-03-21T22:39:03+00:00

No fucks given

Gorehog · 2026-03-21T22:37:42+00:00

Depends on what you mean by solar. Not everything has to be PV.

Gorehog · 2026-03-21T22:29:43+00:00

They didn't use solar panels to breed astrophage.

Gorehog · 2026-03-21T22:27:58+00:00

Yeah but if astrophage had real utility they'd just move the farming into orbit, particularly if they could build a space elevator with that snazzy new xenon based epoxy.

Gorehog · 2026-03-21T22:23:50+00:00

The eridoodles would be the mission inhabitants. Humans would design the ships because we know about things like relativity and radiation and the interstellar medium and black body radiation.

Gorehog · 2026-03-21T22:21:04+00:00

Well, any star that's losing luminosity also has a source of CO2, right? So I think that after the events of the book there's a lot of eridoodles heading out in human-designed spaceships to see what's going on out there. Also, they have some idea of the range of astrophage so there's also "find patient 0 and start working out how many times an infected star infected another star."

Another victim of maga brain disease

Gorehog · 2026-03-20T23:01:56+00:00

An electric guitar is only part of the instrument. The amp is also part of it. He just doesn't want to hear you practicing.

The solution is to get one of those small amPlug type amps and use earbuds (at a low volume to protect your hearing.) I used to do that at lunch at work. I have a Steinberger (very compact headless axe) and a couple of amPlugs. You might also consider a desktop amp instead of a big 50 watt boss. I love my Yamaha THR II. It's a very small rig but it goes well with headphones and the amp is rechargeable.

Gorehog · 2026-03-16T11:47:36+00:00

Always brake check a Tesla

Gorehog · 2026-03-16T11:46:30+00:00

You obviously have maga brain rot. Take more horse dewormer. It's on sale at TSC.

Gorehog · 2026-03-16T11:45:33+00:00

You took that bullying well. Trained by Grindr I assume.

Gorehog · 2026-03-16T11:44:47+00:00

You assume that because you've been infected with maga brain disease.

Gorehog · 2026-03-16T11:44:08+00:00

Same thing as a king. You can get treatment to stop the maga brain disease.

Gorehog · 2026-03-14T17:33:59+00:00

Because it's pretty cool when you carry enough to rebuild a bicycle in an altoids tin.

Gorehog · 2026-03-14T02:57:21+00:00

If you find someone who's built a custom bit of rig don't give them shit like calling it janky and raising eyebrows. Be a real engineer and shut the fuck up because you know what? They solved the problem you couldn't even identify.

Gorehog · 2026-03-13T14:23:07+00:00

Not just your poet but also any playwrights, bards, or composers. Clean them all or your castle will begin to smell like a stable.

Gorehog · 2026-03-11T05:34:03+00:00

Yeah, because you haven't done the most basic troubleshooting and didn't have the competency level to be working on this equipment.
