Sounds like an awful lot of work just to kill a boombox. Where I come from there are easier ways.
Did you build your own faraday suit/ cage ?
To me you are a (super)hero! Any other stories you havenāt told us?
Nowadays it must be easier to hi-jack the bluetooth connection. I tried to do that to my noisy neighbour, to replace his shitmusic with deathmetal - unsuccessful unf.
It was, but building such a thing as a hobby gave me some pleasure.
Another reason I developed this is I am autistic and at autism conferences I met many autistic people who were bullied by people cranking up their unwanted music into the privacy of their victimsā homes. The law refused to help them. I made Faraday suits out of wire screening from the hardware store.

Iām coming in a little late in the game here but hereās a quick peek of my non-lifting life.
Biking: Mountain, Road, Dirt - I donāt discrimate. #bikeitandlikeit
Gardening: This is this years project in progress. #getdirty
Hiking/Backpacking/Climbing and all other things back country! Iāve summited all of Coloradoās 58 14ers (peaks exceeding 14,000 feet), quite a few 13ers and 12ers too. Iāve also been to the top of Texas (Guadalupe Peak), South Dakota (Black Elk Peak), Wyoming (Gannett Peak) and made a valiant effort to get my butt up Mt Rainer in Washington. The photo below is from last summerās 5 day, 75+ mile backpacking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail. #gethighordietrying
Non-picture hobbies: Iāve never met an audiobook or puzzle I didnāt like. And because Iām still a kid at heart - coloring, like box of Crayolas coloring.

Green now - but weāre in for a week of no rain and temps in the high 90ās, so summer is coming!! I will say that when I lived in TX I referred to it as āthe suburb of Hellā. It gets hot here too - but what yāall deal with is just dumb! lol

The painā¦.
This happened my freshman year in uni. There were the most obnoxious girls and the RAs wouldnāt help.
I went tit for tat and banged on their doors at 6am.
It worked surprisingly well
Another time, some drunk idiots decided to have a party right in the street outside of the sorority house. I actually called the police. That didnāt work
This isnāt every weekend on campus?

Keep in mind what school I go to.
Technically, thereās quiet hours. this was towards the end of the semester. had been great up until that point
I busy myself with music ā I frequently attend concerts and engage with the music community. I can kill so much time at home watching interviews from my favorite artists. I also practice foreign languages and read a lot. I blog sometimes but not as much as I would like. Same with hiking, especially because I donāt have a car and, unlike many other T-Nation members, donāt live near cool hiking opportunities.
I also take photos from time to time.

Great pics! Always a little jealous of the great photographers here. Always felt I had āthe eyeā but never picked up all the technical know-how.
I think bluetooth is close enough to 2.4 gHz for a microwave attack to work. Oven magnetrons put out 2.45 gHz. At close range about 10 feet through a typical wall it will burn out a stereo.

This is such an epic story, it should be part of a movie. Getting neighbors to quiet down is a super power. And your other hobbies are cool too! Lifters who enjoy the opera are probably pretty rare.
Thatās a great pic and so is the fishing one! Cool hobbies.
