A friend of mine went much further than I did, with an interesting result:
“I turned off all devices, turned off wifi, wrapped my cell in aluminum foil and stuck that and my laptop in the microwave, which is a Faraday cage of sorts. I heard nothing, but when I turned my phone back on, At&T sent a text that they discovered an issue with my wifi. Hopefully, I’m not on some list now. Since when are we REQUIRED to keep wifi plugged in?”
Geez, who’s on what list?
George Orwell comes to mind.

Because my phone, obediently encased in wrinkled tin foil (see yesterday’s post) functioned more like a tin foil hat . . . with me the fool . . .
I.e., I still got the weird alarm sound and still saw the message when I took the tin foil off.

Mea culpa. Wonder what Clif High has to say about this now.
”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
