Hmm…

Can any of this be weaponized to protect a property?

Can any wireless be…? Ideally without frying anything locally like an EMP… “you mean an emp? No, and EMP!”

Carrier pigeons make an excellent bandwidth benchmark though.

Sneaker networks (flash drives stores in sneakers) are still some of the highest bandwidth out there.

I don’t know anything about it, so hopefully someone else has more experience, but I found this, so I assume the answer is yes.

I mean it’s literally shrinking over time… deteriorating. It will very likely eventually become useless, and die out.

I guess you can call that evolution if you want… it’s certainly a selection pressure, anyway.

The Y chromosome is also deteriorating over time as it gets passed down with errors and doesn’t have a backup copy nor relevant genes to swap with, and men have less robust immune systems (iirc partially because of testosterone). So that’s fun.

This must be how Oscar Meyer wienermobiles are made. I mean I don’t see a buncar anywhere, but all the same.

I used to think I was in the former camp but it turns out I’m in the latter!

And that realization is fucking powerful.

Fuck it, do something!

As long as it’s functional.

But it needs to be a pit toilet.

Nah, they could be exempt the same way lottery winners could be, since they didn’t do anything shady or anti-social to get it. It’s also unlikely they would have the money long (similarly to lottery winners).

Unless they turned into assholes and got put on the list. Then yeet the new rich! :)

Yeeting the rich sounds fun. Just have to be careful where you do it, like the punkin chukin competitions. You know, to prevent any damage to anything important.

Make it a sport, whomever (or maybe top 5) yeets their rich person the furthest wins 10% of their net worth, the rest is used for social programs.

When I was a kid and would send very stuffed letters, we just left a dollar paper clipped to it, they would leave the change the next day for heavier stuff.

When I was even younger I used to leave flowers in the mailbox for the mail person, and they got me a little flower statue for xmas and left it in the mailbox for me. That’s a memory I haven’t thought of in a long time so that was pleasant :)

Better yet, use some thin sliced ham wrapped around cheese and whatever red sauce (bbq, ketchup, marinara, whatever) to create a gooey cavity in the middle…

It would take a lot longer than two months for people run out of not-yet-confiscated firearms or ammo, though (decades, probably), so effectively it doesn’t matter that much if they suddenly ban them, and I’d be thrilled with that outcome.

I mean what difference does it make if you murder someone or murder them with a banned weapon? The result of getting caught is being totally fucked either way.
