You're doing it wrong, you also need to tape your phone to them. It takes a bit more lower body strength but works much better.

Probably an IR receiver module or photodiode.

Fake. The resulting Au201 and Au199 will promptly turn back into mercury. But, if you instead pull of a few neutrons to make Hg197, it will decay in a few days to stable Au197, along with a free neutrino.

Might a a good idea to buy it, I'm sure it will sell for 10$ with some haggling.

They do it to sound cool. Interestingly, in Japan (often nonsensical) English often gets used as a decoration in a similar way: https://youtube.com/watch?v=V347dTGZVl0

In terms of performance, the best option is multiple wired together access points. You can get flat Ethernet cable that can easily fit under doors, carpets and through windows if you don't want to/can't drill any holes in your walls. Mesh networks are an option, because the mesh nodes generally have higher power transmitters then your device, but this will be slower then a proper setup, and get slower the further you are from a node with a wired connection.

If you are on 5 GHz, try moving to 2.4 GHz, the top speed is slower, but it much better at passing through walls.

Thanks!

I would think that's satire of insanely long and irrelevant rules documents.

I personally really like what Monero is doing with blockchain, but in most cases attempts at cryptocurrency (when not outright scams) fail in terms of privacy or performance. Bitcoin (the most popular one) has both of these problems, it is slow, limited to just around 7 transactions per second. Bitcoin also lacks any privacy, with transaction history completely public. Monero has to do a whole lot of work to obfuscate transaction history.

Currently basically all of these have another scalability problem due to the size of the blockchain constantly getting bigger, with Monero's strething up to 150GB and growing.

TLDR: Farmer agrees to sell some flax in the future at a fixed price, by responding "👍" to "please confirm flax contract". Later, as the market price of flax went up, the farmer demands more money. They buyer then goes to court to force the farmer to sell the flax at the agreed price, judge rules that the "👍" does count as agreement.

This is a contract that was made several times previously, with similar informal agreements like "ok", but this time the farmer tried to get out.

Check the rules of your istance, or host your own. Nothing is banned lemmy wide, although if things get bad enough, other instances will defederate you, preventing your instances posts from showing up in feeds. (this already happened to a lot of nazi filled instances) TLDR: if you can find or host an instance that is ok with it, yes. However others have no obligation to participate

Spinning rust is fine, if you seed a lot, you will often be the only seeder on a torrent. In that case being able to keep the file around is fare more important than shaving milliseconds off download times.
