Thanks for taking my trolling in good stride. I actually loved the internet of 20 years ago. It was totally different from today, it’s actually a shame a lot of the way it was is gone forever. I vividly remember frequenting a few blogs, just slow chatting in the comments, making your own response images, hosting your own stuff like these images, sound clips and whatever else. Most ISP’s would give you some server space to host your own static html pages, and lot’s of people used this. The blogs would host photoshop contests, link to stuff they liked, reported on news or music or whatever their niche. The blogs I visited are mostly still around today, but they just don’t draw the engagement anymore.

the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be

A communication network for scientists and the military?

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.

Gemeentepils in the Netherlands. Municipality beer.

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.

dude. Jesus. Silly opinion

Yeah I’m done here. And hurt, I even said you’re right!

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.

For once, yes. But exclusively? It’ll extract minerals from your body, causing health issues.

Nope, distilled water has nothing, no minerals or anything else, including ions. Deionized water is also not the best for consumption.

I’ve used them to extend arduino connectors in the past. Works great.

I use that too, on a different computer.

I still use Winrar.

I get what you’re saying, but I disagree. The (male) people I see hating on trans people can just as easily hate any group they’re not part of. They hate homosexuals because they think every gay person will try to have sex with them, they hate blacks because they steal your job due to DEI, they hate muslims because they’re all terrorists, they hate disabled people because they don’t contribute to society, and they hate trans people because it confuses them. They can always find a reason (not through their own critical thinking skills though) to hate anyone.

I remember Java being seen as the best thing ever in the 90’s, and it was considered “cool” at that time. So cool even, that it became the programming equivalent of a hammer, every coding challenge looked like a nail for which you could use it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Wireless almost had it right.

Reminds me of Wireless Seattle, that must be what, 25 years ago?

Those who know will know…

This one is so bad it becomes good again!
