No because they would be point to point. Many parts of the phone network were connected via microwave links before fibre optic cables replaced them, as fibre carry much higher amounts of data.


I take it you are talking about anabolic steroids.

Most people don't understand that a person will not simply gain huge amounts of muscle by taking them. It does allow more lean mass gain, but only if muscle are being stimulated to grow and extra calories are being consumed.


I'm talking about having the self-discipline to work out, which is the same self-discipline required for fasting. If you manage to work out, you can manage to not eat. All I hear is a bunch of excuses and trying to create lab drugs to work around this fundamental weakness of character. It won't work, because the same weakness will simply destroy you through some other thing you won't control for better outcomes.


The is a lack of curiosity because there is no evidence.

Microwave energy has been found many times to be directed at embassies (such as the Moscow signal), but it wouldn't be any form of weapon. Such transmissions would likely be RF power for passive bugs, radar, or jamming signals.


It was a great choice; as most people in Britain would find it bloody funny!


And here's me thinking the Germans don't have a sense of humor. Well played Commander, well played. :-)


Women will hate finding out that it can guess their age and weight! It can even guess their socioeconomic group, and if they dye their hair.


Yes it can guess body weight and age!


Great, guys can use it too. We'll see how these chicks react...


It's not hard to find groups of society where expose to HIV is very high, which are the ideal groups to study. Many people in these groups see contracting HIV as inevitable and do not fear it as you would expect, as it is not seen as a shame or death as as it was around the late 80s.

There subculture of people are people who actively try to transmit / contract HIV, often at so called "biohazard parties".


"biohazard parties" are for HIV+ men only. you don't have to fear transmitting HIV if your partners are already HIV+.


Maybe when on treatment, otherwise superinfections are a thing and associated with poorer outcomes.


Just to interject, but I’m a bisexual male and I’ve never once heard of a biohazard party in real life


Have you ever heard about the Royal Mail Underground which used to move mail across London?

A small light railway between large cities makes sense where roads are congested and cannot be expanded.


Smoke alarms in a domestic setting might, but not systems installed in large buildings.
