Is this really true???

From Quora
My neighbor is pregnant. She believes Wi-Fi has some kind of radiation and will harm the child. So she asked me to turn off my Wi-Fi. How should I respond to her?
Change your SSID to “Baby Safe WIFI” and tell her that you have updated your router to a new “baby safe one” and she will be happy.

Way back in the 1970s - Fresh out of University - I was an engineer for IBM and we had one woman customer who insisted that her computer terminal was using “too much power”…

I had triple checked it and it was working just fine.

I called in my Operations Specialist to try and deal with the customer.

He was brilliant - after examining the problem - he tied a knot in the power cord - telling her: “This will slow the power down”…

We never heard from her again!

(on this thread - will be more like "Believe it or not!"
What stories do you have

Most everything we believe we learn from other people. Other than that, what we remember as experienced. And what we think we figured out for ourselves.

I have a friend who loves a very cold can of soda.

She does not like the plastic bottled ones, because "they don't get as cold as the cans."

At first I tried to reason with her that the metal seems colder because of the ability to transfer the cold from the soda to the hand in comparison to the plastic bottle.

Nope. She still thinks cans get colder.

When I worked at a C-store, I do remember people - if their choice of can soda was not available- they would not by the plastic bottle!

WiFi is radiation, and some people have a physical sensitivity to it. A mother is usually right.

Tastes different out of a can. I always thought it was due to how I drink it and how much air it gets exposed to drinking it. An employee of one of the soft drink companies told me that they really do taste different. He said that can had least amount of carbonation, plastic bottle has more, glass bottle has most.

That's hard for me to understand - as my taste buds do not work
Over a decade in the Army - never complained about Army chow

I walked through a mess tent and had my stainless steel tray filled, including a nice square of corn bread placed in one of the separated by ridges partitions. Then I had to walk out of the tent. It was raining those huge rain drops common in the South. I quickly sought out a relatively dry spot under a tree and pondered my lunch. The corn bread was floating in rain water. I did not taste it...

Oh the sacrifices we make in the Army......

Yes, one day we were marching along a dusty back-road, when we approached the edge of a rainstorm. On our side the road was bone dry, but on the other side of the edge the road was being drenched. So our DI's had us march into the downpour, then stop and put on our rain-gear. One of the funnest events of my life...

How can we ever forget those wonderful days of Army (or USMC) basic training.
Yea, I hear the Air Force has their training at a hotel in Hawaii
and the Navy - they just swim a lot.

That's funny, I went to Navy boot. and we hardly swam at all. In the same token, as a hospital corpsman, I had to go to Camp Johnson North Carolina for Field medical (Marine Corp) training. I remember in Navy boot we put our mask on then they lit off the tear Gas. And made us remove it and exit. Where in the Marine corp we had to say our name rank and serial number before we could put mask on, and clear it, making sure we took a nice breath of tear gas, which proved the mask worked!!

edit, I just remembered, They also made us dry shave that morning so Our faces were on fire. and when we exited the room, we went into another room, alot of us took deep breaths only to find out it was another gas filled room and not outside (for those of us who closed our eyes)

Our top management has lots of retired military. One day, a former marine and a former army ranger began arguing which had the roughest basic training.

After a couple of minutes, a retired Air Force officer said, “You guys don’t know what tough is. Once, during basic training, the air conditioning went out in our classroom for almost two hours!”

Laughs all around.

peace to you

Yes, in Army boot the released the gas while we held our masks in our hands. The instructors watched until a sufficient number were convulsing, then ordered us to don our masks. We existed directly outside (fresh air).

There's a preference for canned Cheerwine over bottled for that exact reason . Tastes better and fizzes better.

With us, we walked in with our mask on ---- Drill Sgts gab a while - informing us that the masks were working - then we took them off - and we ran out.....

Our son went thru Navy basic at Great Lakes (early 1995) and said that swimming was done frequently - inside as it was winter. He also described an activity called "Rainmaker", used when some recruit had failed to obey something, like failing to leave the TP end exactly at 12:00. Rainmaker involved extended calisthenics until all (but the DI) were drenched in sweat, though I don't think the humidity thus produced actually caused dripping from the ceiling.

I think we were required to take a breath, recite our name, rank, serial number, then ask permission to leave. “Yes Drill Sergeant!!”

There was a huge tree just outside the back door so if you closed your eyes you hit the tree on your way out.

Snot, snot, snot, and more snot! tears and coughing all around. What a way to clear the sinuses!

peace to you
