Wireless engineer here, let me help you out. Here is the complete electromagnetic spectrum. Thanks NASA! The only difference between 5G and every existing wireless device (that you were never worried about) is what frequency it's at on that chart, in 5G's case primarily between 700MHz and 2.6GHz, but also 25GHz, and what power it broadcasts at.

5G is in the same frequency range as many other things you've been living with your entire life - except it is at much lower power. Have you ever worried much about TV broadcasts at 698 MHz and 10,000 watts? Then you shouldn't worry about 5G at 700MHz and 1 watt. Have aeronautical radionavigation frequencies at 960MHz ever been a concern to you? They function at much higher powers than a cell phone, believe me. These bands have been full of traffic your whole life, and it's never hurt you. Same goes for the Ka bands at 25GHz - these have always been in use.

Finally, the first graphic on this page is useful. Some people worry that cancer (DNA damage) can be caused by radio waves. Nothing to the left of ultraviolet carries enough energy to alter human DNA. Radio waves are waaay on the safe side, as compared to something like xray. They are on the safe side of visible light. These waves simply can't carry enough energy to strip electrons from atoms, the mechanism by which DNA is altered.

Edit: changed last image because reddit hugged that site to death.

While in Barcelona staying at a VRBO/Friendlyrentals unit, our (well-secured) room was keyed into the night before we were to leave and everything was taken except for our passports. Well over $5,000 in value.

Googling this, I found many other similar horror stories about the Barcelona rentals market.

How often have you run into this type of scam?

Thanks. In our case, we were on the 5th floor (no window access) and our door was built like a literal bank vault, with some kind of 3D key to open it. Almost certainly the thief was building maintenance, cleaning crew, owner, or property manager. Was just curious how widespread an inside job like that was.

They left our passports so we would get on our plane and leave. We left the unit about 10PM, returned about 4AM, had a 9AM flight out. Breakin occurred between 10PM and 4AM. We had no time to gather evidence, bring the police out, etc. We did make a police report at the airport, which was useful in one of our group getting a travel insurance payout. He was the worst, his loss being in the thousands of dollars. The other 5 of us lost only $250-$750 worth of items.

keto appears to be very helpful in fighting inflammation.

also reddit loves keto.
