    It only interferes with 2.4 ghz signals, so if you have access to 5ghz wifi then that isn’t applicable. I’ve never noticed any interference and when I googled that I found some articles from years ago but it doesn’t seem to be a real issue











  • Oh my god when we moved from Oklahoma to a town in the mountains of Vermont this issue made the last day of driving hell! It’s my fault for not checking the route on such a big trip though.

    We had visited this town several times and always drove in on a major interstate with no issues. Well when we were finally loaded up with the 26’ U-haul and towing a car behind, I just selected the default route to our new address in VT.

    It was fine up until the last day when we started to get to the mountains and to my horror it was taking us on these tiny one lane roads up extremely steep mountains and super narrow roads.

    When going downhill I was braking as hard as I could and the U-Haul was barely even slowing down and the brakes would be smoking at the bottom. And on the way up I was flooring it and barely getting up to 20 mph sometimes.

    It’s a miracle the truck made it through the dirt roads at the end. We finally rolled into town on what I now know is a historic, scenic route that the leaf peepers like to take.


  • You skipped over my point. I think the activists let perfection get in the way of progress. I know that they’re not advocating for coal, but by fighting nuclear they left no other scalable solution other than coal. Nuclear doesn’t have to be a forever solution, but it’s a perfect stop gap in the meantime.

    Surely these activists contributed to progress on some other, smaller sources of renewable energy, but at the cost of decades of record breaking greenhouse gas emissions.

    Nuclear could have put a halt to many if not most coal and natural gas plants until other sources of renewable energy improve and have time to get built out.
