I have seen a growing trend for interquackery to gain validation among the poorer/younger set who google answers that would cost them $$ to answer via the US health care system. Less so here in Canada as we have fee/tax based univ

LOL, Lukashenko and his FOP of a son are well hated and need Russian methods to stay in power. His 'buddies' -the so called CSTO are the same. I think a match set to Lukashenko's moustache might start a conflagration among th

Yes, thanks. The Toronto surplus area was minuscule compared to Canal STreet in New York city in the 50's and low 60's. You might find some rabbit holes on google of the old days?.

Hercules Sales = sold Surplus on Yonge at Wellesley. The strip around there had Electro Sonic, Radio Trade Supply, Paramount Equipment and 2-3 small surplus and parts sellers. When transistor came along, radios never broke, TV's never

When I was in college in Toronto in 1961 there was a surplus store. All manner of WW2 radios etc. I looked at one pile and it was about 15 rolls of primacord. This was a long 5/16 hollow tube of vinyl filled with pure TNT. It resembled

There was no patent protection back in these days. A smart craftsman could not draw on recorded repositories of past work and if he came up with a new design, anyone could copy it and sell in competition. Some worked there way into general

A ship at sea can have a cloud repository of data etc, immediately available, not 10,000 feet underwater as well as no data loss. Good job for a mobile Starlink the monthly cost is trivial compared with the annual budget

Yes, Russia = Russia. I had an idea based on the phasing. A phased array directs the signal with antennas that are steered by subtle delays introduced to the rise/fall of the transmitted/received signal on active basis. The Fourie

I have rented from rent-a-wreck, and got used cars ~~4-5 years old and I was content. I expect that insurance is a larger part of the business who rents old cars - and they get none of that. Most fleets and car rentals have a ~~2-3 year cyc

If one contrasts the bang for the buck between the 'usual NASA suspects' and the performance of SpaceX, there is a lesson there. In addition, the NASA Mil-SPEC process is rooted in a far past era that insisted on x-rays of every r

Well, the flow varies as you reach the source, being about 7,000 M3/sec as it exits Lake Ontario. In any event, my intent is to have a tolerable degree of outflow diverted from the great lakes, esp in flood years during the melt, when

I am not sure of your Hoover discharge figures. St Lawrence is about 17,000 cubic meters per second. Hoover is far far smaller about 3,300 cubic meters per second. St Lawrence is over 5 times as large. You may have mixed up cubic meters&#x2

We are familiar with pipes, pumps, siphons, canals. etc. It is engineering of a routine, but massive scale to perform a major shift like this. The question is cost? Water can be pumped with solar/wind energy. With major area on their w

Do they also fight the Atlantic Alliance - a network of global seas whose task is to suck the land dry? In jest. A large part of runoff leads to the Arctic oceans = warm water = melts ice. Southern diversion would help the southwest. Since

The great lakes water is simply channelled to the Atlantic. It would take an engineering project to divert 10-20% to the west. No hard tasks, just the creation of a sloped canal. In desert areas you could cover it with solar cells - also la
