It’s conductive.

While it isn’t magnetic it is useful for shielding electronics. It isn’t as conductive as something like copper tape or conductive tape made to be conductive, but it is still conductive.

The idea is that you want the inside of whatever you’re making NOT to be conductive (duct tape, for example)then another a layer of aluminum with no gaps, then more duct tape, then more aluminum, then more duct tape, it’s done.

Aluminium isn’t the best material for this but it WILL work, and is in fact used to shield lots of electronics components.

I mentioned earlier that it’s conductive, and it’s, but it isn’t a very good conductor, which is one of the reasons that I’ve found when using aluminum two or three layers of it alternating with nonconductive layers tends to be necessary for anything in the -5ghz+ range.

Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in on the detailed science of how this all works but aluminum and copper both work to attenuate radio signals. They key thing is that anything conductive (copper or aluminum) touching anything conductive (your phone screen or case) will… conduct.

The idea here isn’t making a faraday cage, since at 5ghz you’d need, iirc, a cage with no hole larger than 2mm (good tucking luck with that) but to shield your phone completely from sensing or receiving wireless signals.

I’ve found that to be pretty effective.

I made one with hair elastics wrapped up in the duct tape to keep the seal shut.

None of the shit I ordered off Amazon worked worth a damn so I made my own.

That’s the one

Hey Linux, sudo rm -rf /

sigh I’m surrounded by idiots.

“Sure thing boss” you fucking moron.

I can’t remember the other program that’ll do it.

But there’s another one that’ll list all the processes using a file.

Tip of my tongue fuck.

Reminder that you can make a faraday bag that actually works out of duct tape and conductive tape. And/or Or enough layers of duct tape and aluminum tape. And/or copper that’s.

You need to make sure there’s a really tight seal but. It’s doable.

If this happened to me I’d probably propose right there on the spot.

Well that certainly exists. That’s for sure.

If god was real and being trans killed him id vagina my penis tomorrow, not out of any real desire to become a woman, but more because of the utter contempt I have for religion.

Hail Satan.

Space everyone except tuvok and the doctor and Chakotay. And Bel,Ana. Youre only keeping Tuuvok around so you can laugh at him as he constantly derides how illogical this decision was, forever, and Chalotay so you can also laugh as he tries to morally and spiritually justify his continued participation on your ship of fools.

But who’s going to run the ship?

Well, you see, this is where bel’ana comes in. You have her copy the doctor like 200 times, changing his programming to fit every necessary role on the ship. Then of course she gets spaced.

You then “I am groot” all but one of the doctor holograms, the original, who is able to understand the imperceptible variations of the other doctors’ only means of vocalizing which is “what is the nature of your medical emergency?”

Then you, captain Katherine Janeway the best fucking starship captain of all the time, drink your black coffee delighting in the cacopjonous “What is the nature of your medical emergency?” Coming from engineering, tactical, literally every corner of the ship.

“Navigation”

“What is the nature of your medical emergency?”

“Warp 9. Engage”

“What is the nature of your medical emergency”

Fuck you. How dare you? Merlin has to die.
