Okay, I wasn't aware that FCC had ruled differently on the stun and kill functions then they reportedly had previously, or maybe I was misinformed from the start. It's been too many years now to remember where I got the info from but it was part of a discussion about the encryption (scramble) funct...

Looked into a high-efficiency stove to put in the fireplace? They burn cleaner.

I'm dampering it down too much I think, too cold of a fire for complete combustion. Problem is unless it's sub-zero cold outside the house turns into a sauna running it hot.

The stun, kill, and revive functions, at least, falls under telecommand, and the auxiliary and remote station rules, and is allowed under the regs. From http://www.arrl.org/auxiliary-station-faq : "Telecommand is defined by the FCC as a one-way transmission to initiate, modify or terminate functions...

Yesterday was chimney sweep day, I do this once a year before heating season. Two story home with the wood burner on the lower level, the only places the creosote builds up is the stove pipe at the woodstove and the chimney cap. This year the build up wasn't as bad as years past, we built a polebarn...

Last time I looked at the proposed legislation we wouldn't qualify based on the max household income for the second round. If we do, it'll likely go toward truck tires here too. Bridgestone Duelers, this'll be the 3rd set, love those things for snow and soft sand.

Looks like a nice rig. The DTMF remote control part piqued my curiosity enough to go check out the manual and am impressed with the number of options available. Besides just displaying the decoded DTMF tones received, also has patrol, monitor, stun, kill, revive, and alarm functions. Didn't see that...

The arsonists don't help the situation, either. Saw an article in The Oregonian of an individual starting a fire in a median, and another article that there's no proof of protesters (or others) intentionally starting forest fires and asking people not to spread false rumors to the contrary. If they...

Just a thought quazi, but you might consider a Stanley portable power station/jump starter for the battery. 19Ah sealed lead acid battery, and can charge it with solar power (or an alternator) through the cigarette lighter port. I did a post on it last year, https://www.zombiehunters.org/forum/viewt...

Rain delay on some wood cutting planned for today, so working on a new and improved longer-lasting nasal spray formula. Test #1: 2 ml of 10% PVP-I 3 ml of glycerin 25 ml of distilled water https://i.postimg.cc/DwL3vq2C/nasal-spray-N-I.jpg Was reading that chlorhexidine solutions have better substant...

In case anyone was wondering Listerine Cool Mint®, in a simulated snot suspension, appears to be just as effective as original Listerine. Virucidal efficacy of different oral rinses against SARS-CoV-2 With multiple studies showing it's spread by individuals in the initial pre-symptomatic/asymptomati...

Very interesting. I think I'll stick with Listerine, because it's still highly efficacious and I already have a massive bottle of it. Not to sound like a P&G commercial but Listerine has proven oral health benefits that make it worthwhile to use daily. https://www.listerine.com/total-care-campaign ...

Very small number of participants, but how ironic if Listerine proved effective at preventing (?) / curing (!?!) COVID in anything even remotely close to 80% of the population, considering everything we've been through. I've been adding the PVP-I to Listerine, creates less bubbles/suds when gargling...

A very tiny study of gargling with Betadine, Listerine, tap water, or nothing, for those diagnosed with Stage 1 (<5 days of illness) COVID-19. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04410159 Results under the "Study Results" tab. I'm looking at the results - I'm not seeing where anybody developed a...

Shipped a couple of these sets to out-of-town family recently. https://i.postimg.cc/XqYbKzth/A-order.jpg While tempted to include yet more links to the latest articles, research, and letters to the editor advocating for its use for mouthwash and nasal rinsing, I'll pass as I almost certainly have so...

Master Question List for COVID-19 from DHS. Think I recall seeing these for Ebola but just found the COVID one this morning by accident. Some interesting and helpful info, I'd wondered how long the virus might persist on books (we buy them used fairly often off Amazon) and when I need to buy more N...

Tiny trial with 4 patients already in the recovery phase of Covid-19, and just a single one-time use gargle / mouth rinse. Is povidone‐iodine mouthwash effective against SARS‐CoV‐2? First in vivo tests However, these preliminary in vivo results suggest that a PVP-I rinse could reduce the saliva vira...

Looks like the McCloskey's largely abandoned the Rawlesian tenets of Beans, Bullets, and Band-Aids, and went full on Zevon mode instead:



Lawyers, Guns, and Money

Two dozen cases with 2 deaths in ours and the nearby neighboring county, combined. Still going to the grocery store only every other week, and added a second trip to town on the off weeks to hit the hardware and feed store. PPE / antiseptic stocks are holding up well, we're getting about 8 hours of ...

More like the last few weeks, but: Installed my 10-80m MFJ end fed HF antenna. My FT450D has an internal antenna tuner that will tune anything less than 3:1 SWR, and it tunes this antenna to 1.6:1 or below on the 10, 20, 40 and 80m bands so I'm satisfied for the moment. Ordered an antenna switch las...

Would something like this work for disinfecting money (cash & checks, some in paper envelopes)? The accountant at our church is nervous about everything being counted after it's received in the offering plate. I'm trying to figure out a solution that doesn't a) use up valuable disinfectant spray, b...

SOBs want the stimulus money they deposited in my account for my deceased MIL back... See Q41 at the bottom. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center Earned about a dime of interest on it, so after a postage stamp their blunder only ends up costing me $0.45. :vmad:
