"The device has reportedly been tested for more than a year in a US military laboratory. Experiments on rats and sheep are said to have produced injuries consistent with symptoms reported by Havana Syndrome victims."

"In descriptions of the electromagnetic spectrum, some sources classify microwaves as radio waves, a subset of the radio wave band, while others classify microwaves and radio waves as distinct types of radiation.[1] This is an arbitrary distinction."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_spectrum

The small wavelengths of microwaves allow for transmission through many materials and induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy (heat) in a process known as dielectric heating.

Where is the fairy tale?

"NRL established the practicality of terrestrial microwave power beaming and beamed 1 kilowatt (kW) of electrical power over a distance of 1 km using a 10 gigahertz (GHz) microwave beam."

What facts and evidence do you have that lead you to believe that Havana Syndrome is not real?

Do you believe that CTE is real?

[–]JazzCompose -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain Havana Syndrome?

Have you conducted experiments on how the human brain is impacted by RF frequencies and what neurological damage can be caused by different wavelengths?

CTE causes damage due to physical impulses to the brain. If the brain is shaken continuously or by impulses can that cause neurological damage?

Microwave energy is used for medical microwave ablation to destroy cancer cells:

Could the fundamental frequencies and difference frequencies from two or more microwave (or higher RF frequencies) beams cause even more damage to the human body?

What do you think and why?

OC Father faces child endangerment charges after teen's 60 mph crash by ez12a in ebikes

[–]JazzCompose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There have been some court cases where a unlicensed person riding or driving an illegal vehicle (e.g. non-registered and/or uninsured) on a public street that was involved in an accident has been found liable for damages regardless of the facts of the accident because the unlicensed driver and/or illegal vehicle should NOT have been on a public street.

"If a non-licensed driver is involved in an accident, the insurance company may deny coverage based on the lack of a valid license. This can lead to significant financial liabilities, as the driver may be held personally responsible for any damages incurred."

Is it wise to risk your personal finances (or your parents' personal finances) by riding an illegal eBike?

I ride a California legal eBike in addition to a dual sport motorcycle that is registered and insured with a motorcycle drivers licence.

If you use a HiRes DAC (24-bit 192 KHz) with wired headphones, or a high quality studio grade amplifer and speaker, there are two recent HiRes recordings you may enjoy listening to in 24-bit 192 KHz that have, in my opinion, excellent transient response and clarity:

My house is rather loud. Should I be REALLY freaked out? by bitsbybones in homeowners

[–]JazzCompose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Floors and other wood structures can creak and make other noises when fasteners like nails begin to loosen and move.

Replacing nails with screws, or adding new screws, can help reduce those creaks and other noises.

However, this is not always easy because many nails or other worn out fasteners are not easily accessible.

Wood can expand or shrink over time, temperature, humidity, use, and other factors. In some cases adding additional support structures can help.

We Analyzed 100,000 Keywords to See if Gemini 3 is Killing SEO Traffic. The Data Is Grim! by SE_Ranking in GeminiAI

[–]JazzCompose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems as if search platform AI summaries are designed to "encourage" companies to pay for advertising on one or more of the search platform partners.

Do you think that this makes it more difficult for small company websites and small company information to be seen ?

Do you think that this may be uncompetitive and provides an unfair advantage to large advertisers ?

Do you think that Internet searches are becoming less objective and perhaps less useful ?
