I would be telling everybody about it unless Bigfoot asked me to keep mum.

There are some promises you don't break

Yeah that's literally getting to leave with a parade and arriving to being an instant celebrity.

This human being was around 3,000 years ago! They've traveled deep space through hypersleep! What mysteries do they have of the long forgotten and ancient past to reveal to us?

Also, here's all of your space credits from the $1.67 you left in your savings account. You're now a multi-trillionaire.

Tesofensine is an antidepressant with weight loss effects that can be purchased online without a prescription for research purposes.

It's fairly expensive, usually running about $250 for a one month supply, but if you need a temporary break from your depression then it might work for you.

However, because it is a research chemical, all of the side effects of the chemical are not known and you would be taking a risk in using it even for a short period of time.

Chances are it is likely safe but there is still a risk and you have to weigh that against your mental health and your finances and the costs and difficulty associated with getting put on a traditional antidepressant prescribed to you by a competent doctor.

Counterpoint, nuh uh.

There are lessons to learn from the past. I'll give you that. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I'll give you that.

80% of humanity is too stupid to learn from the past.

Letting them live in fantasy worlds of Make Believe causes no deleterious effects to you or to the Future.

These people who consume this material will choose to voluntarily remain stupid if given the opportunity to make that decision.

After all, to those to whom the truth would be misery, ignorance is bliss and it is folly to be wise.

I'm not paying 5 cents to read an article unless I know in writing that 4.95 of them are going to the human person who wrote it.

They get multimillions of hits a day on a mere dozens of articles. Economy of scale works both ways.

What they should do is offer a tier system through your internet provider. $10/$20/$50 a month and you get access to tiers of services without ads or tracking other than tracking that you used the site.

I used to use VLC. I still do, but I used to, too.

Because solar would be less resource intensive than fusion, at least for the first long while.

Even if we get fusion to work it's going to be quite a while to go from working fusion to working fusion in your neighborhood.

I would say it's optimism.

I'm in a similar boat, maybe a few steps further down the line than you but not that far.

Something that is really fun is getting a dynamic DNS set up with duckdns, and then put a certificate on it from certbot and then give all of your containers and self-hosted servers am SSL certificate and name using nginx reverse proxy.

If you do that and your Wi-Fi router has a VPN option then you can easily get rid of all of the certificate errors on your locally hosted stuff and navigate directly to them with a name rather than typing in IP addresses.

For me this was daunting but once I actually got it up and running it all made sense.

I wish I had gone straight into college even though I was incredibly depressed and suffering from cptsd.

I could have been depressed and living in a dorm and possibly getting into wacky adventures or meeting somebody to love me rather than being depressed and living in my truck and scooting from minimum wage job to minimum wage job for 7 years before I finally started to get my shit together.

"Significant infrastructure work"

Unless a wireless brain interface is developed, you're probably SOL. I bet it would be one of those things that has to be implanted in your mother's uterus or something.

You are correct, but there are no paratransit vans that run on a regular schedule near, say, Rockford Alabama.

If you work in dadeville or sylacauga then transportation would be essential.

The alternative is to either live a self-sufficient ascetic farmer's life or to die because you have no access to work or food or anything.

Not saying it is a problem that can't be solved, just one that is a lot larger than the current system can support without "Significant inrastructure work"

An interesting thing about learning random things is that the knowledge you acquire will come in handy in unexpected places.

For instance, I learned to play guitar. Then I wrote songs, then I wanted to record the songs to see if they were any good so I learned about recording so then I ended up in a band with other people and recorded a few albums with them, which didn't go anywhere.

Not long after, people who were aware that I recorded music asked me to help out at a church and I got experience running live audio.

And eventually I moved away so I had to quit and then I ended up having a job where editing audio for training sessions was a part of my job responsibilities and my previous experience with recording albums and running live music prepared me to do a job that paid a hell of a lot more than I was making before which then advanced into another job and another job and all of these random little tidbits of information and skills that I've picked up along the way keep becoming crucial to my future successes in ways that I could have never anticipated back when I was learning them to record some dinky guitar.

This has happened to me, as a person who writes music and has recorded multiple albums.

It also happened to my bandmates when we had a song we were really focusing on they would tell me how they had been dreaming about the song and having it play in their dreams.

However, I am very susceptible to earworms and it's rare for there to not be music playing in my head.

This person is telling you lies

Aliens walking in the distance.

Like if they're running right at you with violence in mind, that is a completely rational fear, no problem.

But if I were standing on my front porch and saw an inhuman alien gray walking down the street, even if it didn't look my way, I would freak the fuck out.

Even the idea, the thought of that happening can make my hair stand on end.

I bet that could be disabled if you somehow removed any path to ground from that chicken wire.

My guess is there are a few conductive points that are attached to materials that can dissipate electrical energy, which would turn the chicken wire into a faraday cage.

Without those conductive points, it would not function as a faraday cage or at least not well enough to significantly attenuate Wi-Fi.

I agree that 2.4 gigahertz is ultimately doomed, but we are easily 25 years away from moving out of that space and even then there will still be use cases for it.

If you were to suddenly disable all 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connections across the world a large portion of the world would be stranded without Wi-Fi.

And since smart home devices and many other products that are actively being created required 2.4 gigahertz to function, any router that did not include 2.4 gigahertz would be e-waste before it was even taken out of the box.

CAT5 is essentially dead. Highly recommended to use cat6/e as a minimum, or cat8. The world is beginning to switch to multi gig ethernet and CAT5 is simply insufficient for that.

Yes it will work at gigabit speeds and most things you do will not require more than gigabit but who knows what we will be running in 10 years and cat 6 can handle 10 gig over a pretty good distance which should be sufficient until it needs to be completely replaced.

That being said, unless you are currently running a multi gig ethernet setup and are running into bandwidth limitations on CAT5 or cat5e, there is no need to pull and replace what is already there. This advice is for new deployments.
