  How the fuck was Uber supposed to help traffic? That’s the most American take on solving traffic issues I’ve read in a while.

  Either you innovate or you pay that company $32M every summer forever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sunwise, as it was based on the movement of the sun during day (in the Northern hemisphere). As watch faces were modelled after sundials, sunwise and clockwise describe the same direction.

  Turnwise is a word invented by Pratchett for a book, but it’s clearly based on sunwise. He also used widdershins in his book, which is indeed the unmodified antonym to sunwise.

  6 GHz is around 50mm iirc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, a faraday cage does work. But note that modern wifi uses high frequencies, which means small waves. That means your faraday cage probably needs a meshing finer than 1mm to be trult effective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At least here in Europa NA beers have improved wo much in the last few years. I literally don’t know when I last drank one with alcohol when I just felt like drinking a beer (as opposed to when I wanted to drink alcohol).

  And since OP likes it fruity, (NA) Radler/Shandy is just great. It’s 50:50 (NA) beer and lemon soda mixed. This was one of the original ways to get a fruity beer with a lower alcohol content (since the soda doesn’t have any) when NA beers weren’t good yet, great for a hot summer day.

  It’s a nice bonus that they can interact with each other, but microblogging and link aggregation are two different things, no need to make them more interoperable than they are.
