You are a master of irony!

And you are nothing more than the typical Liberal/Democrat/Marxist/Socialist

From you, a compliment, thanks! :-D

And when you have some thing rational to say, c'mon back... next year

The mere threat of doing so could actually get AZ in a buttload of trouble
with the feds. Along with being illegal (extortion), it's also a threat to
national security and an act of terrorism under the Patriot Act. But then,
AZ doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks.

That's why it's primarily a solar observatory - the LP from LA has
rendered it useless for dark sky astro. 18 miles can make a big
difference...but it takes a REALLY dark sky for the Milky Way to throw

As I recall from some hideous PBS in a hotel room, the 100" [?] was too
tiny for anything else, according to the guy who built the 200" on
Palomar. I'm way too busy to look it up.

Well, that's funny - up here at Lick, the 120" still does amazing
science. In fact, amateurs with scopes far smaller contribute immense
knowledge every year. I think the interviewee was suffering from
aperture envy.

Not immigration, 'tard boy, we're talking 'asylum'. Pull your head out of your

I want to rig up two poison ivy fences.One along side one side of my
back yard and the other one along side the other side of my back
yard.What it is, that woman who lives next door to me has done put up a
big above ground swimming pool and I don't want those other people who
live next door, the other side of my house, to be taking short cuts
across my back yard.
Yeah, in fact of the business, some thorny briars will be good to
include in the poison ivy fences too.

Threat to national security? Come on. Arizona is merely trying to enhance
national security.

Everything about the power grid is federally controlled, and has been for as
long as anyone can remember. If AZ were to cut of electricity to CA (or
anywhere else), it would be a national security issue, as the grid supplies
power to all state and federal infrastructure. It's not a matter of them
being able to choose who they sell to, as a public carrier, they must sell
to anyone able to pay. (For instance, they couldn't just come shut off your
power because they don't like you.) The interstate sale is a bit different,
but it's still a federally enforced contract. Also, such an action would set
off a domino effect that would cripple the grid in many states.

I beg to differ on that Dave. Though the gubiment does a lot of
misdirection, matter of fact just about everything is......immigration
is not one of them IMO.

Depends on the size and the source. An H-bomb going off next to you
would give you one hell of an EMP, not that you would have time to
notice. Modern chips are fabricated with 45nM features and the move is
on to 22nM, which means even 1 volt would arc over them.
Do the math.

I admit I am not in one of the best places in the world for old technology.

I recently purchased a used Drake SPR4. Being far too expensive (and too
highly taxed) for a native to buy, it was bought by an immegrant from the
US who thought he was going to listen to the news in English on shortwave.

In 1976 or so when he bought it he proably was right, but the radio looked
like by 1980 it had been placed on a shelf and ignored.

I searched around for #47 bulbs for the dial lights. These are the small
bayonet 6 volt bulbs that were in almost everything up until grain of wheat
bulbs and LEDs became common.

I found what was probably the only box in the country. I could have ordered
them from the US, but the cheapest box I could find was over $25 after I
included postage.

Someone recommend a place called SuperBrightLeds.com on another mailing list
I am on. They sell replacement bulbs with LEDs instead of filaments. These
bulbs work on AC or DC, and can be used by themselves or in series.

The best point for me was they put them in an envelope for $5 shipping.

The drake uses 2 bulbs with a blue filter and one without. I replaced the
bulbs that were filtered with blue LED bulbs and the unfiltered one with a
white LED bulb. Quite a spiffy result. :-)

You wouldn't have time to do any mathematical musings.
Any thermonuclear activity strong enough to produce more than a mere click in
your receiver would have to be close enough to include you in its blast zone,
and would likely sublime you and your calculator, abacus, or whatever device you
were using to distract yourself.

That's what I meant.
POOF!
