Ah cool so it looks like we're on the Terminator timeline

Just now realizing that bulletin board systems were inspired by bulletin boards

Honestly though, could be a good idea. Cell signal jammers are illegal, but I don't think it's illegal to physically block cell signals.

Pro-tip: Build a faraday cage in the structure of a coffee shop to encourage your customers to engage in conversation

add custom syscalls... crash your whole system... corrupt your filesystem... the possibilities are endless!
