  1. it`s also the wavelength for the MSF Radio Time Signal (60 KHz), based not too far from where she lives (Fort Collins, Colorado). here: http://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvb.htm
  2. DD/MM/YYYY is the format I`m used to, all my clocks display the time this way (German made), except my Digital watch (casio), it likes to be the odd one out for some reason? as for saying 9/11 here, most folks would know what you meant if they have a TV
  3. meh, I`v taken to smoking my pipe again, but I`m still off the 40 a day Cig habit I had. I don`t think I`ll go back to being a cig smoker again either, I tried one a couple of weeks ago and it really hurt my lungs when I took a drag, so I`m glad I`m off them. I`ll have a glass of Port before my dinner, but no more than that as I don`t want to risk my old cigarette urges coming back again, I still need to put more time between me and them. I Bought a new Laptop with the money I`v saved too, so Something must be going right
  4. what you have to consider with the line idea also is the Wind! it`s going to catch A LOT of air and easily exceed the breaking strain.
  5. I voted No, based upon the post 11/9 Patriot Act. and although I don`t know which nation IS the freest (not an area of interest for me), I`m glad to be an Englishman that may posses and use Laboratory glassware freely without risk of a gaol sentence!
  6. it`s worth pointing out also that you Will require FAA approval to do this also. although you shouldn`t really have any problems getting permission, buying the time window that you`ll need can be quite expensive! oh yeah, and where it comes to Structural parts avoid the use of metal as much as you can, you`r more likely to get permission.
  7. it doesn`t make a jot of difference. Anything said, Opined or given in way of advice over the internet or out a symptoms book or some well meaning Muppet in a bar is absolutely NO Substitute for Seeing a medical Professional! stuff like that is ok for Discussion sake only, and Nothing more. the OP was seeking advice, ergo the stance I took.
  8. it would seem that between posts #5 and #6 Raising the Dead has been solved/cured, 4+ years Dead in fact
  9. I Soldered 8 hours a day everyday for many years, never had a problem. in fact I can recognise certain brands of solder by smell alone (I even have Favorites), although the smell is largely from the rosin flux running through the core of the solder, some have multiple cores. it never did me any harm!
  10. if you just wanted to observe them, with todays technology it would be very simple to set up a small CCD with appropriate lensing, use a simple 433MHz RF module and send the telemetry back to your receiver station, All using off the shelf parts! the whole thing needn`t weigh more than a couple 100 grams either.
  11. Fast food doesn`t Have to be "Toxic" though, it`s only that way because it`s Cheap Food, the speed has nothing to do with it. as a cook, I feel it`s important to distinguish between Fast food and Junk food, they are Not the same.
  12. You Might Be A Redneck Jedi If... You call your young apprentice, "Junior" Your landspeeder has a gun rack. You call Yoda your Li'l green buddy. You have ever used a light saber to light the barbecue grill. Your Jedi robe is camouflage colored. At least one wing of your X-Wing is primer colored. You can describe the taste of an Ewok. You have ever used the Force in conjunction with fishing or bowling. Your father has ever said to you, "Shoot, son, come on over t' the dark side...it'll be a hoot." You got your light saber by sending in 750 Skoal Lids. You have ever used a light saber to skin a deer. You have bantha horns on the front of your landspeeder. You have ever had an X-wing up on blocks in your yard. The worst part of spending time on Dagoba is the dadgum skeeters. You have ever used the force to get yourself another beer so you didn't have to wait for a commercial. You've used a storm trooper helmet as a spittoon. You feel that duct tape is like the force: it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together. You ever heard the phrase, "May the force be with y'all." You have a cousin who bears a strong resemblance to Chewbacca. You use your light saber as a bug zapper.
  13. HCl or NaCl? and I think looking into something Simple like Surface Area would be a better 1`st step. Then you can set about complicating things
  14. some of these contaminants are so tiny that a good zap of electricity would do little more than just spin them around so they all face the same direction for a short while rather than Kill them. UV irradiation is another good method though.
  15. certain "Agencies" do teach Drug Consciousness to their agents. it`ll help you resist such things Truth drugs or spiked drinks/food that can be used against you by employing techniques that`ll keep you Mentally capable if not exactly alert.
  16. True, but you then (at the very Least) Risk introducing Other toxins to the mix as well.
  17. No, there should Only be ethanol In Any drink suitable for consumption, no matter How it was arrived at. however the congeners in a drink will vary and are largely responsible for Hangover severity after dehydration.
  18. I know someone that extracted their Bismuth from Pepto-bismol indigestion medicine! now That`s what I call taking things a bit Too far, but as proof-of-concept, Kudos to the guy.
  19. personally I`d dissolve it in a suitable acid (probably Nitric) and then displace the Bismuth with another metal such as Magnesium or Zinc.
  20. After being a smoker for some 30 years and quitting a 40 a day habit for a month+, I had a Bad day a week or so ago and lit up my old Pipe, I could never really get my head around smoking a pipe even after several attempts whilst I was a Cigarette smoker, it never seemed to "Deliver", there was no distinct Nicotine hit that you get with a cig. This time it Did "deliver" and I got the desired effect, and as a result have taken up pipe smoking now for a good week+ and enjoy it somewhat more than I did cigs. this got me thinking about Dopamine and reward pathways and reinforcement(s) of such, and I wondered Why hasn`t some Corporate Chemist decided to cut-to-the-chase, and just made a "Dopamine Hit" drug, or just injected Dopamine directly? it seems the Logical choice for the Ultimate "Drug", I doubt my Logic is flawed, so what`s the Real reason this hasn`t been done before? (or has it?). edited to add: while we`re on the subject of Brain chemistry and "Feel good" factors, how come the same thing hasn`t been done for the Orgasm effect too?
