5G Repeller? I don't think so...
« on: June 21, 2023, 1800 UTC »
Oh boy... JG Tiger asked me about this,   https://5grepeller.com/     So, here's what I've written back to him:

"I really have doubts about how that would work. You don't want to repel 5G microwave signal, you want to attenuate it, a.k.a. make it much weaker, so it could be useful, by not have you bathing in RF. Above 1GHz, just about anything does attenuate that,
 windows, (Especially with tinted lead in it.), our aluminum-sided house, tree foliage, concrete, thick wood, etc. True, that these surfaces also bounce the signal, but every reflected signal will be attenuated to a degree. Now, are they trying to emit RF to cancel RF? That means, using a fire to fight a fire, which you don't want to be next to. Want to get away from intense 5G RF? Go into the deep woods, keep your windows rolled-up in the vehicle, go into a building, go underground in a cave, or go underwater. Attenuate RF, not some gizmo that claims to fight it. WTF?!?!? Don't believe the hype, but I'm open to what actual Field Strength Test Reports would show, if any. Demand that from that site!"

OK... So, let me be open enough to ask, is there anything to this, or a bunch of BS for the ignorant to suck-up? If anything, thought this to be a neat lesson to put out there. (Meaning, I did not post this here to bonk anyone, or to play on their intelligence, but to use the subject for an educational purpose.)
There, my C.Y.O.A...

I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

ONLY IN AMERICA?

Free shipping and HANDALING?

And its not April 1st!

Str.

p.s. Theres nothing 'wrong' with 5G anyway, infact the term itself is meaningless unless you specify frequencies and power levels and your proximity to such. The only way you'll 'escape' that and the rest of the RF spectrum is to live inside a faraday cage or metal lined room or perhaps bury oneself underground. The latter being the best option I feel for anyone with such 'concerns'.

'It's better to give than receive' so why Rx when you can Tx!

Saddam Hussein reportedly said his spider hole's kept those pesky cell calls from the front from bothering him and he was only about a meter and half down? He also said long term EMF exposure caused diseases were the least of his worries while he was down there.

Tell J.G. to dig himself a hole. Once you get about 4 feet down it stays about 55 degrees F year round. You don't have to heat it, you don't have to cool it, it's a real money saver. He worries too much.

Who is this JG guy anyway?

Looks like we have agreed on his best course of action.

Maybe he can keep digging down.

The deeper you go, the safer you will be!

I come from a mining region, Stretchy. Once you go down a few hundred feet it starts to warm up again, plus you nearly always hit water. Those mile deep gold and diamond mines in South Africa are nearly too hot to send people down to work, although they would be a good place to stick Elon Musk. Moderation is the key to digging hiding holes and root cellars. You want to be comfortable, not sleeping in a sauna.

Who is J.G.? Why he was in Russia yesterday mooning Putin and Prigozhin. If you saw any footage of the rebellion, he was the guy wearing the helmet.
