Many plants have anti-nutrients, compounds that inhibit absorption of nutrients. Both coffee and tea inhibit absorption of some minerals, such as iron.

NetSpot and InSSIDer are often recommended. I also noticed that Apple’s AirPort Utility (iOS) can show channels and signal strength of nearby networks. You need to turn on a setting in the Settings app to enable that feature. But it doesn’t have a clear UI that would help you to figure out the best channels.

Wi-Fi extenders are usually worthless. If you want to extend your network you should use mesh network.

Another thing that helps with interference is lowering the channel width. Using wider channels gives better throughput but there will be more interference. If you don’t transfer much data between your devices wirelessly and you don’t have some crazy fast internet connection, setting the channel width to the lowest for both bands is the safest option.

Missing lids on the cassette decks gives it away that the device might no longer be fully functional, but thanks for confirming it.

Another good network troubleshooting step is to simply restart the router by unplugging the power cable for 30 or so seconds. It can fix many network related issues with little to no effort and is good practice for security reasons as well. (Restarting the router will effectively close any malware running in router and as long as the router doesn’t start them again after restart, you’ll be safe until your router is again compromised.)

Have you recently moved the router to new location or moved objects around the router? Check the router’s environment for any metal objects. They can cause significant interference. And then there are dead spots. Regardless where inside a building you place Wi-Fi access point, somewhere within its range there is most likely at least one spot where the signal cancels itself.

If the router’s location or “gaming location” has not changed, the reason most likely is that the channel used by the router has become congested. For both 2.4GHz and 5GHz there are recommended channels one should use, and you should choose the one that is least used around you. ~~There are no tools for iOS devices that can help with that~~ because Apple has locked down the required functionality, so use either computer or Android. EDIT: Apple’s AirPort Utility has this functionality after you enable it in Settings app.

5GHz is better for gaming due to better latency. But if you can’t play close enough to the router, 2.4GHz might provide more stable connection.

That thing is about 70 meters long and weights 300 tons and some.

Right hand for right-handed threads and left hand for left-handed. If unsure, it’s most likely right-handed.

Tea Adventures has a long list of online stores that sell tea and teaware. There’s a search field that can be used to filter the list. For example, a search for “teaw states” gives a list of stores in The United States that sells teaware.

Battery water is quite readily available everywhere and it’s cheap.

Säätösauva saatiin korjattua, tehotaso palautettua normaaliksi, mutta saman tien pukkaa uutta ongelmaa. Turbiinipuolen ongelman takia tehotaso tämän päivän ajan 1220MW.

Some quotes from the article:

For Control 2 and codename Condor, all publishing, distribution, marketing, and other rights licensed to 505 Games revert to Remedy with immediate effect. 505 Games will continue as the publisher of Control through a transition period ending December 31, 2024

The maximum purchase price for the transaction is approximately EUR 17 million

This transaction will enable us to negotiate better deals for current and future Control games. We can now weigh up the options between self-publishing and a new publishing partner for Condor and Control 2. At the same time, we are in a better negotiating position than before as Control is an established brand and Alan Wake 2 has been successful.

Control [...] has sold over 4 million units

Condor and Control 2 have both progressed well in recent months and we expect these projects to reach their next development stages during the first half of 2024.

*Condor is the codename for a co-op multiplayer Control game.

 

There's a Kindle Rewards bonus offer going on currently.

Spend $20 on Kindle books between July 28 and Aug 1 and earn 400 bonus points. Activation required.

Those $20 you need to spend to get the bonus points gives you another 60 points, so this event nets you at least 460 points. That's enough to redeem $3 credits and you are left with 160 points out of 300 needed for another $3 credits. Just remember that points expires in 3 months and you only get 3 points for every dollar you spend on Kindle books.

Kindle Rewards beta

For those who don't know yet, Kindle Rewards is a rewards program on amazon.com that rewards you for buying books. It's for both US and international customers, but you can only get into the beta if Amazon chooses you. It was launched last year.

Initially you got 5 points for every dollar you spent on Kindle e-books and 2 points for every dollar spent on print books. The points expired in 6 months. You need 300 points to redeem $3 worth of credits you can use when purchasing Kindle e-books. Credits expires in 1 month.

Changes to Kindle Rewards on June 1, 2023

After June 1, you now get only 3 points for every dollar spent on Kindle e-books and 1 point for every dollar spent on print books. On top of that those points now expires in 3 months (points earned before June 1 still expires in 6 months). So, you still need 300 points for the credits, but you need to spend more to get enough points. And you only have 3 months to earn those points before they start expiring.


What do you think about the program? Have you participated in it, or ignored it? What about these new changes?

I have only participated on those spend-X-dollars-get-Y-points events (for example, spend $10 get 300 points). I maintain a wish list of books that I'm interested of. When one of those events comes along, I look through the list and buy the minimum amount required by the event. Preferably books that are on sale. That gives me plenty of books for little money, and free credits for next purchase.

After these changes, I think the points you get from buying books outside of events are meaningless. You earn so little, and have so little time to earn enough, that those points will just end up expiring. I think the rewards program gives little to no benefit for customers, except during those spend-X-dollars-get-Y-points events. Even then, only if the event gives you those 300 points required for the credits.
