eBay POCSAG HAMNET DAPNET Pager Battery
It took some tooth pulling, but I finally identified the battery used in the POCSAG pagers you can get on eBay from China. They don’t come with the battery because of shipping hassles. It’s an 802040 LiPo cell, 3.7v 600-700mAh. There’s plenty of them on Amazon. Update: Wait til the pager comes in. The seller may be freaking clueless, and it just takes regular old AAA batteries.
Ten For Survival – What Do You Know?
Presented by NBC in 1958, “Ten For Survival” was a ten episode series about man and the atomic age. This rarely-seen episode “What Do You Know?”, hosted by Chet Huntley, examined public perception of the survive-ability of nuclear war. Two “average citizens” give opinions concerning various Civil Defense questions, and Huntley cites various surveys of public opinion, that are then rebutted (or affirmed) by an expert named Dr. Dreyer. The vice president of the organization that conducted the survey, Mr. Alberto Castelli, also participates in the program. Below are the survey questions asked in this episode of “Ten For Survival.” Before watching the video, I’d appreciate you completing the survey so I can compare your answers today to those given in 1958.
FireFox Green Bars On Video
If you are getting green bars on video using FireFox this is the solution. I’ve found too many old sites with instruction on turning off hardware acceleration in Flash, but no one uses Flash any more. Duh. The reason you’re getting green bars on your videos in FireFox is your video card is old. You’ll need to change a setting in FireFox to disable a specific Direct 3D setting. 1. In a new tab, type “about:config” in your URL bar. 2. You will get a screen saying “This might void your warranty (like FireFox has a warranty, lol). Click the “I accept the risk” button. 3. In the search bar, type: “media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva” 4. When the line appears on the screen, double click the line to change the setting
PDS Tornado Watch: The Particularly Dangerous Situation That Wasn’t
On April 26, 2016 the Storm Prediction Center issued a PDS Tornado Watch that included a large portion of the North Texas area. This is a special kind of watch issued only in a Particularly Dangerous Situation. That is to say when computer models are predicting the possibility of extraordinarily severe weather events, including strong, long-lived tornadoes, very large damaging hail and destructive winds. The Storm Prediction Center and the National Weather Service do not use this phrase lightly. Although on this particular day things did not exactly line up as the computer models had predicted, if they had, it would have been disastrous for everyone affected. There were indeed a few tornadoes that had hit in the area. And for anyone affected by these storms, the predictions
