Not a very good try though Tell your friend not to sell the farm yet

The location is Elk Lake , Ont. One mile +/- north of Elk Lake on East side of river.

I have a friend with 40 acres on a river a couple hundred miles north of the border for sale. Anyone want his phone number this morning?

If you download and look closely at #3, you will see numerous dotted lines at the right side and bottom of the photo including your vertical line which makes a turn up high in the star trails. They appear to be aircraft strobe lights. Near the top you can see the trails left by the left and right wing marker lights as well as the white/red tail light.
I live about 50 miles north of this location and there are numerous aircraft flying in every direction here.

No, not really. The recommendation is to limit the company's liability when someone uses their product in winds approaching, or exceeding 80 MPH. You can if you want, and the product will work perfectly. They'd just as soon not see you risking life and limb, getting injured, and suing them.

Aaahhhh! It is the damn lawyers putting artificial limits on this exciting new technology. That figures.

Of course, there are limitations to using this filter. It is not recommended for category 1 hurricane winds or higher. It is also not recommended for use in or near tornados.

Is this because the processor isn't fast enough to calculate the correct photon spin in real time in rapidly changing wind conditions or is it a limitation of the photon spinning hardware?

Get a new router with wireless - then you don't need wire to iMac or phones, tablets!


I spent eleven years doing Ethernet and phone wiring at the college I worked before I retired. I also put in the wireless network which was fed from the wired network throughout a dozen buildings at five campuses. The WiFi network was good enough for our helpdesk personal to carry and use WiFi VOIP phones wherever they went on three of the campuses that were tied together with T1s. The two campuses connected by wireless links were always a little flakey.

Based on my experience and every theoretical argument I can think of, I will tell you that it is ALWAYS better to use a wire than it is to use the WiFi network for a computer, phone or other device in a fixed location.

Save the WiFi for mobile devices.

My DSL Internet connection was getting flakey last month with all the thunderstorms here in Western Illinois. The DSL would disconnect and I would have to call CenturyLink's so called "Customer Service" to get it to reconnect. I replaced the battery in my UPS and my DSL reliability problems went away.

This doesn't sound like your problem but it is a common enough problem that others might have.

I don't think it would work with air resistance. You would reach terminal velocity, and you wouldn't have enough momentum to carry you very far past the center of the earth.


Correct! Any kind of friction would cause the traveler to eventually oscillate to a stop in the center of the earth.

So I see now but for some reason I didn't see your reply when I wrote mine.

I can remember this problem in a third year Physics class. As it turns out, it takes the exact same time as half of an orbit of the earth at the altitude of the starting point. The trip from North to South pole and back to North takes as much time as one orbit of the earth. Furthermore is you dug a tunnel between any two points on the earth's surface such as New York and Los Angeles or Chicago and Paris and laid a frictionless railroad track and of course evacuated all the air, the trip would be the same time a one half of an orbit of the earth.

All that integral calculus was so fun at the time.

Did you notice that the Australian Firenado rotates backwards from our North American tornados. Coriolis forces at work.

Not really. We send cq field day this is k2ct field day. If we get a response we acknowledge the other call, send 59 ENY and log the other call. Our cw (morse code) radio sends pretty much the same except we use abbreviations.


Translation:
CQ = general call to anyone listening
K2CT = his call sign assigned by Federal Communications Commission
59 = signal report. 0 to 5 = readability 0 to 9 = signal strength These are always exaggerated in contest.
ENY = his district. East New York in this case
