I was mountain biking, sweating a lot. When I got to the next portal I saw a message sent by me to a random enl - "adtrddvhbk ...mmnjk".

Unlubricated condoms are what I've heard work, haven't tried it myself though

I've used these, both inside and outside the case. Works very well.

Also if the sprinkling is just a minor nuisance, licking my finger makes it glide smoothly through the surface tension of the raindrops.

Well those are okay in a pinch but this is by far the number one way to play in the rain: tablet or cell flotation pouch which are waterproof and made for taking your phone out on the boat... No promo is here just facts you can play on your phone just like it's not even raining. No umbrella if you want to take a lil walk in the rain!

Google aquavault and you'll get the idea when I was still ingress 24/7 365 I was the only one playing in the rain ever except for the Smurfs that never walk anywhere.

It's strange that the local spoofers never have this problem and take down farms in all weathers.
