    GPS is incredibly fragile.

    No, not really. The GPS signal isn’t designed to penetrate concrete, no. But that doesn’t make it fragile.

    Also very terrestrial…it doesn’t work once you leave the atmosphere.

    Considering it was never meant to…that’s really not that goddamn weird. It’s a global positioning satellite system. So clearly for it to work you have to be on the fuckin’ globe…

      Having functional GPS in a tunnel would be very nice…as someone who drives through Boston and fucking hates tunnels.

      But that’s not what I meant by fragile. I meant it can be disrupted/jammed fairly trivially.

        In a tunnel

        a tunnel

        tunnel

        I fear for the world. You afraid that you’re gonna make a wrong turn? Inside of a tunnel? A fuckin’ tunnel my guy?
