You can easily but saltpetre and sulfur in a pharmacy then go to a hardware store to get charcoal. I made some bad fireworks as a stupid kid, I'm lucky I didn't lose my fingers.

Yes I'd say may be but I don't know for sure, odd though that they would advertise to me in my account menu screen certain shows or movies but when I tried to watch it I got a message "not available" which is just infuriating. Teasing me w

I've battled with Netflix many times. Its Canadian content is a joke, compared to what's available in the US I can't imagine why anyone would stay with Netflix Canada for more than a month. Yes I've tried various VPNs and it's far better b

I've had great success adjusting the beacon period to 20 milliseconds and using 2.4GHz. Although I do agree with your advice about channels I often get relatives to do that as they first step in troubleshooting problems with their home wir

If possible increase the transmit output milliwatts, to "shout over" the other signals on the same channel. Increase the beacon period of your router/AP to the fastest it will go, usually 20 microseconds. I think this is the best solution

The USA calls subsidies a different name but they're still subsidies especially sugar and corn crops. It's do as I say not as I do even if the rules are broken, but it's no shock coming from the US. NAFTA supposedly has wording about subsi
