-- that brings me back to my original question.
I called the wireless broadband provider who gave us the router, but no manual or link to change settings, like we had with our old router. Told them I wanted to turn off the 5G. Guy asked why. Silly me, I told him. He was nice but said it was a tinfoil concern. And that it wouldn't make a difference in the EMF, since "turning off" the 5G only makes the signal unavailable for connection, but the router still sends it out the same.

-- not sure why either. But maybe it will help to clarify the situation here.
My phone only gets one bar of LTE from the nearest cell tower.
There's a receiver dish on top of the house for the local, rural fixed broadband wireless carrier. That antennae is wired to our router.
So I'm curious how it might be possible to minimize the wireless EMF off the router (until we get to where we have the needed hardlines in the house).

Yeah, it's a custom router made by our fixed broadband wireless provider.

2026-08-28 15:25:35 GMT

So about the 5G wireless signal from our router... 🛜😵‍💫
When possible, I try to minimize the EMF in our house (and bodies). Our rural location helps, with our router the only one within range.
I've been told it's useless to "turn off", the router's 5G signal, since that would just make the signal unavailable to connect to, but the router would still be emitting the same amount of EMF. Does that seem correct?
Also, please hit me with any info you have on the safety or danger of 5G.
Thanks!

You put a woman up there holding the chalice and you have a deep symbolic collapse. Whose creative prowess is represented here? Jesus Christ or the body of the woman?
That's why within five years after you have a woman priestess, the whole organization falls into the deepest confusion about human sexuality.
It's a symbolic collapse. That's why the the priest has to be a male, otherwise human nature, as such, will revert to a neopagan kind of synthesis."

"Men are builders. We build with our hands. That's our primary mode of creation; men create with their hands. Women create with their bodies.
That, by the way, is why we can never have female priests, because of the two modes of creativity. If you have a female priest, they would collapse.

-- Leaving that door cracked, then pulling fresher air from the house and venting the sunroom air outside is sounding really good. Especially since that should keep the air flowing so that it doesn't heat up that zone thermostat much.
The filter idea is interesting as well. I always think of those filters as being more effective for airborne particulates though, rather than for VOCs or CO2 accumulation.

-- the house is early 70's, with a fairly new heat-pump system. The old, drafty windows allow good air exchange. ;)
The sunroom is an addition, with a door into where there's a house HVAC zone thermostat.
To stay comfortable while sedentary in the sunroom, I keep it about 4 degrees warmer than the house. If I leave the door wide open in the summer, it warms up the room with the thermostat and makes the other zone rooms too cold.

Muscovy ducks are much, much quieter than common barnyard ducks (all derived from Mallards). They’re also less messy with water/mud and have way cleaner eggs.

2026-07-14 06:43:31 GMT

- reply

— a ratio of about 3-4 hens to one drake seems to work pretty well. Less hens can get “overworked” by the drake. It helps though that the hens can usually manage to fly away from the drake when they’re not interested in mating; the drakes are so much bigger that they don’t fly as well.

The first is from a young man we know who recently spent a year in a fraternity at Missouri Science & Technology.

An example was him having to study the extended family trees of the upperclassman and similarly useless “loyalty” building exercises.

Debauchery and feminism seem intertwined to me when it comes to sexual and reproductive liberty/licentiousness.
Wilson's point in the book seems to be that many (most?) leaders of the feminist cause (going back a couple hundred years at least) have been deeply involved in occult practices.
She also uses the word "occult" to mean that their occult involvement is generally hidden from and unknown by most women.

Yesterday I visited the Firestone Baars Chapel, designed by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen. (He also designed the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and Dulles International Airport, amongst other unique structures.)
The building is unlike any I’ve ever seen! It was starkly beautiful, and at the same time felt cold and lifeless spiritually. Strikingly, for a chapel, there was not even a hint of religious or symbolic imagery anywhere. Perfectly suited for an ecumenical future with one world religion.
