How the cartel built their own cell phone network

How the cartel built their own cell phone network

Cell phone networks are very complex pieces of technology. As you know, massive towers are used to connect smartphones to a mobile provider's network. Since it's so sophisticated, you'd think it would take top engineers to create. But shockingly, a Mexican cartel managed to build its own network from scratch. The secret network covers most of Mexico and is used to avoid being spied on by authorities. You won't believe how they were able to pull this off!

Absent-minded: Monk returns from self-imposed exile to 2020 madness

There’s no escaping news about COVID-19 during the pandemic. But one man, a practicing Buddhist monk from Vermont, was fortunate enough to miss the worst of 2020 when he took a retreat into the mountains. After 75 days of silence, he returned to Twitter to post, “I'm back from 75 days in silence. Did I miss anything?” 

Before long, his mentions were flooded with all manner of GIFs, reaction images and outright jealousy for a man that avoided some of the year’s worst horror stories. When asked about COVID-19, he responded, “I haven’t installed that operating system yet.” We hope he was being sarcastic. His exile may be impressive, but it’s not as impressive as what these other monks can do.
