Here's one I don't know how to solve: at work some folks take meetings in the bathroom. They're on their phone, they walk to a stall, do their... business while doing their business, all the while talking and listening, while toilets flush in the background. I understand cultural differences but taking business meetings in the bathroom seems inappropriate under effectively all circumstances.

> Here's one I don't know how to solve: at work some folks take meetings in the bathroom. Not legal but there’s a technical solution that’s worked in the past: pocket cell jammer. Range isn’t very far but it’ll work to boot callers a stall away or a booth away at a diner, etc. Only need to run it a few seconds to drop a call. Do want to stress these do see enforcement now (in the US at least) but a low power pocket o…
I wonder if there’s a jammer out there that also sends WiFi deauth packets
However it's not super effective anymore as 802.11w (protected management frames) is a thing and mandatory for WPA3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11w-2009

Robert Caro, in the LBJ series, wrote about how LBJ would use the discomfort of being the bathroom as a negotiating technique and a show of dominance. He would drag senators into the bathroom and force them to listen to him talk as he used the urinal, or force his staffers to take dictation as he took a shit.

#367``` README.md straight up honest - originally called this "make-it-stop" but then saw @TimDarcet also built similar and named it STFU. wayyyyy better name. so stole it. sorry not sorry. ``` Probably the reason that the code "worked" from a single prompt. Could potentially have downloaded the github repo first...
> Probably the reason that the code "worked" from a single prompt I took a look at the repo, and the whole thing is 12 lines of JS and some basic HTML and CSS. I'm not surprised at all it worked the first time from a single prompt. No need to copy someone else's project for something so simple.

#368I carry cheap earbuds I got off aliexpress in my backpack and offer them to people who are listening to music or tiktok without headphones. I have a nonzero accept rate! But you really have to be in the right frame of mind. If you approach someone in anger, they'll pick up on it and mirror you. The best line I've found so far is, "I know Apple stopped giving out earbuds with their phones; would you like some?"

#370The idea that 12 lines of vibe coded JavaScript prompted because someone was too scared to talk to someone disturbing him (but not enough to take a creep shot and blast him on Twitter) could make it to the top post of this website is quite sad.
some people just cannot be reasoned and the amount of people like this is growing HARD.
