    Yeah, one of our problems was rain and thick fog causing massive drops and even disconnects on the connection going out from the router as 2.4Ghz really doesn’t like water. The antenna on our side was fine for sending signals back we just couldn’t get it stable incoming, which is why we did the can trick.

    A quick and drunk google:

    • In 1939 the Soviet Union had around 171m people. At the end of 1940 there were about 1.5m people in gulags - 0.87% of the population

    • In 2023 the USA had 664k prisoners and a population of 337m - 0.19%

    Over the course of 40 years, 14-18m people went through the gulags, and over 1.5m people died.




  • A 1999 comic book by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki has been fuelling these rumours. In a new edition released in 2021, she claimed the next big earthquake would strike on 5 July this year.

    It’s called “The Future I Saw”, with diary entries and is “based on a dream”. One of the covers had a big disaster happening in 2011. That’s the year Fukushima was hit with a tsunami.

    A lot of superstition has arisen around it, causing tourism to drop off recently. And flights from Hong Kong to Japan have been massively reduced, and one airline even halted their flights there as of a week ago.
