At work we had privacy training videos shown one was an employee who spoke about the mobile phone company he has service with, no names but he'll call it "Mogers". When he signed up for service with "Mogers" they messed up his name on his

My uncle got an Apple the small all-in-one type with the small screen whatever model that was. I should say I got an ATARI 600XL but that wasn't until about 1984 it was probably on sale. Not bad though I wrote out BASIC code from Family Co

When I worked for my uncle's video game business in the mid 1980s I often had to remove the ROMs/EEPROMs from coin-op video games and used an eraser as well to clean the corrosion off the legs. The PacMan series were the worst and the sing

That reminds me of my neighbour's wife who on a rainy evening dug a new driveway, with a shovel. This was a bungalow and on one side was their driveway and on the other was the lawn. She dug back ten meters and down about three meters, by

I think the "faster than light" part wording seems a bit off since from what I gather the point is not to go fast to get to a location but to get there through warped space-time. I imagine a 100 km long and 1km high brick wall, you're in t

If you have dark skin you need more vitamin D, if you're obese you need more, if you're elderly you need more and if you are covered up in the sun you need more vitamin D. 7000 to 9000 IU sounds high but 1000 IU sounds way too low.

I'm just going by my textbook, I'm still new to this. I understand what you're saying about AC creating an emf and pushing itself through a conductor via magnetism and frequency. The skin effect would play a big role in this too. As I say

Pretty much if you live in a northern part of the northern hemisphere (above 49 degrees latitude) you need a vitamin D supplement. I recall reading about a researcher in Boston (I think) who said after about mid October you could be sprawl
