A cocktail bar owner has installed a Faraday cage in his walls to prevent mobile phone signals entering the building.
Steve Tyler of the Gin Tub, in Hove, East Sussex, is hoping customers will be encouraged to talk to each other rather than looking at their screens.
He has installed metal mesh in the walls and ceiling of the bar which absorbs and redistributes the electromagnetic signals from phones and wireless devices to prevents them entering the interior of the building.
Why you hating on millennials, Bro?

Crutches are for the disabled. Healthy people can stand on their own.

But unfortunately people are far from healthy. Most people are far from healthy.
Pulling away a crutch just leads them to fall in far more devious ways. Frittering away the moments of your life on a phone is probably one of the least destructive, and getting them to a point of being comfortable in their own skin is a large undertaking. Most people won't accomplish it.

Just play this everywhere to remind these people that they're just: [youtube.com]
If nothing else, the alarm clock sounds might jolt them out of their handheld device induced haze.
Besides, those millenials listen to crappy, crappy music.

Oh please, Pink Floyd lyrics?
Why that's nothing compared to the artistic styling Nicki Minaj:
If you cute then the crew can roll
If you sexy eat my coo-coo raw
Put ya cape on, you a super hoe
2012, I'm at the superbowl
Stupid hoes is my enemy
Stupid hoes is so whack
Stupid hoe shoulda befriended me
Then she coulda probably came back
Stupid hoes is my enemy
Stupid hoes is so whack
Stupid hoe shoulda befriended me
Then she coulda probably came back
You're a stupid hoe
You're a stupid hoe
You're a stupid hoe
And I ain't hit that note,
But, fuck you stupid hoe
Yeah, fuck you stupid hoe
I said fuck a stupid hoe,
Yeah, fuck a stupid hoe
I said fuck a stupid hoe,
Yeah, fuck a stupid hoe
I said fuck a stupid hoe
Yeah, fuck a stupid hoe
Seriously though, I nearly flubbed typing the 'artistic styling' line due to laughing so hard I couldn't type.
If you truly want NSFE....this should be near the top. It make BS* totally listenable in comparison!!!
I miss lyrics with meaning.......

Interesting that you say that. I once went on a date with a deaf woman and having cell phones to text back and forth made things a lot easier.

ASL would have been easier but yeah that's a nifty life hack.

I would have learned ASL if things had worked out for that very reason. But, it takes a fair amount of time to learn any form of sign language and the dictionaries aren't as accessible as they are for other languages. So much of the meaning of the signs comes from rather subtle movements that don't show up very well in the few dictionaries that exist.
She really revealed, just how little I use my eyes for these days.
