Don't laugh, when I was a kid driving to the Oz snowfields (I lived in Sydney where it never snows and barely gets cold) the windscreen started to fog up so I hit the windscreen washer - instant whiteout as the liquid froze onto the windscreen at 120km per hour. Scared the crap out of me!

I have done that at low speed (<30 mph), but never on a fast road. I was also riding my motorbike one cold night with the visor open, and as soon as I closed it my glasses fogged up. Now that was scary.

In theory that could possibly work, but having read the which article before, I doubt it. The reader would need to be almost touching my card, but which pocket do I keep it in?

Four inches or so? Not impossible (or even close) on some tube trains. And most besuited fellows have two pockets it is most likely to be in: left and right breast.
If you don't get a signal, move your handbag / manbag / whatever.

Not impossible, no. But the likelihood that even if you could read someone's card, you could do anything with the data, is quite low.

I have a nice setup (about 25x25 cm - so not small but easily can be carried around) that can read RFID from a distance of 9 meters...

Yes, but what use is that information?

Do not know. Never used it to collect - it is part of a prototype I built for a project never took place...

Interesting. 25cm x 25cm for 9 meters.
Thank-you!

I never liked cuddling with total strangers, which they quickly find out when they try. Long ago I was waiting to check out at a supermarket and someone always snuggled up to my back every time the line advanced a step. That was when I was working for my first employer and I was in uniform, so something like this when the line advanced once again and that person immediately ran into me again:

The Warning - three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico - currently aged 19 (just turned), 16 and 14 who rock!
They've been around for a few years now but they will be new to most people in this forum.
Starting from 2015 they have now written an original EP and two albums, the most recent being a concept album, Queen of the Murder Scene, released in late November 2018.
They rose to attention via their viral cover of Metallica’s Enter Sandman in 2014 when Alejandra, the young bass player, was just 9.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I am far too old to want to listen to heavy metal rock. And I never cared for it when I was younger.
|
|
|
|

No … I think that nobody is too old for this kind of music, but it is a matter of free choice,
and I respect that, of course ,

Back when music was two rocks banged together?

Ok for their age, but subjectively speaking they're fairly poor. Songs are basic, generic, derivative. The guitarist has simply stolen the Foo Fighters tuning which makes it all sound odd. It's just as well these are three teenage Mexican girls...if they were benefiting from white male privilege they'd get zero attention whatsoever.
