content: replicating its path?If I bought every server length of coax cell tower etc all to send one email from my laptop to my phone?I think it would cost more then $6 but less then $74,000,000,000,000.What are the steps? I wish I still spoke to my father he helped invent this shit. He's busy on some tropical island enjoying the fact he graduated school at 19... with his BS in EE and worked on this information super highway thing.

It was "official" when I got kicked out of the mens room. I was trying to use it because the ladies room had a long line. Some strange/awkward looks indeed. Takes some getting used to.https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/why-do-things-in-my-house-_feel_-like-they-have-electricity-in-them/25/(my legs look a lot more girly from when this pic heres a better one: was taken; forgot how much I have changed in these few months)Would be interesting to see how many miles the signal travels especially if you were using TOR.I bet the minimum is probably 100 miles if you measured on a map and didn't count actual cable lengths.

content: Run a server on your own PC and connect using Wifi. Total cost can be as low as $5 plus the cost of the PC and phone.For longer range, if you want to do it all yourself, LoRa would work well for low bandwidth applications like plain text.

(Just like I’m sure that EE is not really a field that attracts a lot of gay men, but nonetheless I know I am not the only one!)

content: tracert your email server from your PC to (hopefully) find where it is geographically and all the hops in between. That'll get you startedThen, of course, it depends if you are using your phone on the phone network or WiFi and if you use a VPN.Either way, I think you'll end up broke.

A female friend came along (in fact we went at her insistence and she was my DD), and while showing her around, we encountered another female guest, who threw her arms up in the air and shrieked with joy “omg another woman!!! You’re number 4!”*for historical reasons, “Eagle” branding is used at numerous gay leather bars/clubs around the world, though they are all unaffiliated with each other.
