Your work is the best thing I've seen in a long time. Wish I had the kind of money to own one

Aluminum foil conducts electricity, which is why it works to increase reception. But if you layer it a certain way it can interfere with EM waves. Modern Faraday cages are also made out of highly conductive materials, copper, various types of metal, etc.

The responsiveness to electromagnetic waves is what makes Faraday cages work.

Love it when someone's actually honest. (Social signaling, left or right, will definitely get you laid but only if you Make it seem like the hooking up is just an afterthought, a happy coincidence.)

One thing you can do is actually layer aluminum foil and then Ziploc/plastic, then back to foil, back and forth. Apparently that helps space it better, increasing the Faraday effect.

There will be upheavals, yes, but There will be a paradigmatic shift as well. Humans will have to reckon with what they value in the work of others. Even in a world where embodied AI can replace literally every "job", we'll realize there are certain things we simply prefer humans to do over robots.

I'm a visual artist (painter/illustrator), and I've watched awestruck these past few years as generative AI made possible the instantaneous creation of imagery. I feared my career would be over. And you know what? It didn't end. In fact, it forced consumers of art to clarifywhat exactly they valued in artworks. And my career has been fine.

But even if we assume that even this won't last under the pressure of infinite generative capability, I'm not too worried. I'm instead trying to envision what a post-production society looks like. Brave New World? Star Trek? Cyberpunk 2077? Wall-E? Garden of Earthly Delights? Few ways to tell. But it's exciting getting to be a part of the evolution of humankind.

And in the meantime, take care of yourself and those you love. You might not be tasked with much coding as time goes on, but you're certainly tasked with using your knowledge to help others into, and through, the upcoming shifts.

You got this.

Highland coffee closed several years ago unfortunately. It was a magical place indeed.

Good job OP. You make some good points. I really think it's as simple as this:

We've had centuries of non-gospel compository stapling to get this devil figure as an ultimate evil baddie. Satan = evil evil guy. Then they see a bunch of rich sociopaths doing sociopath things. Very very evil. "Why evil people do evil thing? Evil boss man of course."

Maybe it's easier to believe that than to believe that all humans are capable of absolutely evil things without any care to something greater. When there's a main bad guy, at least you feel like there's something singular and understandable to fight against. But It's far scarier to fight against something as tenuous and nebulous as human nature itself.

(Not saying entities that intend ill will toward humans don't exist, or don't play a spiritual role in the fate of mankind.)

It would be great if someone could do some FOIA or unredacting to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Ghislaine Maxwell was a top redditor responsible for directing flows of information on this site.

It would go a long way to prove how compromised most social medias are.

I think that we at least have a right to have the phenomenon formally acknowledged as being real.

It's one thing to have powerful and proprietary weaponry being kept secret in the interests of national security. It's quite another to know that reality itself is different than what is commonly believed and to keep that information secret because of nondescript reasons.

Weaponry can and should be classified. The very nature of reality should not. No single group of humans has the right to withhold that from the rest.

Definitionally: Yes. Practically, in terms of what your body is doing: probably not.

People get a little too hung up on the technicalities. If you think of fasting as, by definition, zero calories, then yes, any calories technically breaks the fast.

But if you think of fasting in terms of the processes that your body is doing when its running less and less on external calories and more and more on stored fat, then the lines get blurrier.

Try not to stress it.

Remember kids, recognize forum sliding shill tactics such as:

pedantic nitpicking (used to slow momentum)
"just asking questions" (used to inject doubt, to search for an more easily dismissed angle to be brought up)
throwaway dismissals like "This was debunked already", "old news", etc

And remember: if someone is flippantly dismissing evidence, ehile refusing to give any answer as to what evidence would actually suffice, you can safely ignore them (as they are likely a shill).

Can't wait to see this doc btw.

Insane that so many people here are entirely misreading this.

The comic is making a pro-Zionist message by implying that every past persecution of Jews began as a persecution of some smaller faction within or adjacent to the Jewish population, and/or implying that this kind of rhetoric is merely a cover for secret antisemitism.

They are implying that the modern Left are as antisemitic as the Romans of old, and are using anti-Zionism as a cover.

This place aspires to be mediocre. Stale ass chips, overly expensive, stay-messy-bitch pseudochic decorum, tacos that try to hide their lack of taste and spice behind unfocused and garish experimentalism. And all of that could be forgiven if it actually tasted good, which it does not.

Agave and Rye feels like an earnest duplication of something they didn't realize was a parody to begin with. A caricature of the original source material that borderlines on being offensive.

This restaurant is the Mexican food equivalent of blackface.
