I finally have closure.
Sixteen years ago
I did some experiments with my car's keyless entry fob and found that yes,
increased the effective distance of said fob out to about 90′
(30m for those who are Imperially challenged).
At the time,
I had no clue as to why,
but this video
(which was released yesterday)
has a decent explanation for the phenomenon.
“There!
Your flu shot is over with.
That wasn't so bad,
was it?”
“What?
You didn't hear my blood-curdling screams?”
“No.”
“Hrm.
They must have good sound-proofing in the stabity-stab room.”
“I bet it didn't hurt at all.
I didn't feel it when I got my flu shot.”
“It was the pain of a thousand suns searing through my skin.”
“That was just the alcohol wipe.”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
