You know how sometimes your wifi stops working when the microwave’s on?

Did you know that microwaves are tuned to the frequency that will vibrate water molecules?

And did you know that the natural resonant frequency of water is 2.45GHz?

Now you know why it doesn’t play nice with 2.4GHz wifi networks.

Further questions: does having the wifi on impact microwave cooking results?

@skinnylatte Do they have roast dates on the bins? They must sell a lot of coffee to keep it all fresh!

@skinnylatte Sounds like heaven

@skinnylatte my partner always says: better to commute to work than commute to fun

This #EarthDay I just want to reiterate that we found out how to harness wind, water, and light to make energy and there are still goofballs who think we need to be burning fuel?

Lmao stop it with that. #Solarpunk is happening, get in loser.

@cadusilva Might *ai* be too strict of a filter for this use case? Many common words have the letters a and i next to each other that might show up in a user agent

Brand new advocacy group in #Wilmot #WatReg comes out swinging with this video. Perfect timing to galvanize public support for the farmers as we head into a year of elections. #OnPoli @kthomason https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=ux-heBQXMiM

@bobjonkman Unfortunately it looks like my satire has already been one-upped by reality…

@BeAware A lot of Mastodon clients (including the one I’m using) already do this. TBH I forgot Mastodon doesn’t have native quote toots yet 😂

At long last, the second block of #Gaukel Street is coming to fruition! This urban playground fills a much-needed gap in access to amenities for downtown families, and also looks super rad 💥 #urbanism #placemaking #DTKLove

@perigee @tillshadeisgone They’re also refusing to join the Fair Food Program, which all of their competitors have been part of for years. It’s a commitment to pay an extra $0.01 per pound of produce, going directly to the farmworkers who pick it. The absolute bare minimum… https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/28/us-farm-wendys-fair-food-program #ag #labor #labour #agriculture

Yesterday, #WatReg council walked back their plan to cut nighttime LRT service to 30 minutes. Big congrats to the #uwaterloo students who organized around this issue and spoke candidly about how important transit is in this city. Thanks to councillor James taking the lead on this from within council too. Sometimes we get a win and it feels good! #transit #urbanism #x

Astounded and elated by this #onPoli news: Ontario is rolling back all of its urban boundary changes, not just the ones in the Greenbelt. We have been fighting for this relentlessly in #Waterloo region. It’s a complete victory ✌️

We know now that with enough people power, this government backs down from its terrible decisions. Bill 66, education workers, the Greenbelt, and now all the other urban growth plans. Hell yeah!
