I actually learned a lot from your reports when I geeked out on flashlights and battery formats that were new to me, the 27xxx size. Thanks very much! (It was sometime in the past 18 months, in which all time sequences have been shredded in

Different domain, but when I owned a little airplane, I took classes from a pilot-owner association about that line of aircraft. They were still simple enough, by design, that you wanted to know as much as possible about the way it was put

I use Pi Hole, which is mostly intended as an ad blocker DNS server. It's an open source project that maintains a list of domains that you would be better off not seeing. For those domains, it returns '0.0.0.0' for the IP add

This sort of study might be facilitated by something like Apple Watch opt-in health research. You would need thousands of participants to get anything significant. I would suppose that there isn't a significant effect of A=432Hz.

Our school district (in the USA) used much the same method as you describe for Japan: alternating days, 50% capacity, etc. Then the State Borad of Education mandated all schools closed. In our community, most of the parents in town are able

For straight up "Is my Mac infected" scanning, I would use clamAV. But I actually don't run it all that often. Instead, I try to monitor activity, like network access, or writes to file system areas that might indicate weird

I'm glad no one was hurt. This time. Willful risk of life, to say nothing of the property damage and the trespass of piling burning refuse on your property (over the property line)... I would be furious. I see a number of comments here
