First reason to stick with the current method is consistency. If you change how you measure ice in and out then you can't compare dates anymore. Second is that this is simple, ice in is when the...

Right, PIA allows them to get temporary IDs that aren't associated with them. But the military isn't doing that. I don't know what controls they have on a military ADS-B transceiver. What I see is...

Pretty much anywhere rural in NH, or even semi rural, you are likely to hear gunfire. Unlike Oakland, where I was once at a BBQ, the gunfire isn't usually aimed at people. Almost never. Safer than...

ADS-B Unfiltered

If you want to know what is round you right now try an ADS-B app like ADS-B Unfiltered. The common tracking apps like FlightRadar24 and Flightaware delay the data several minutes and don't show all...

Actually it's run by DeJoy who has other shipping interests which compete with USPS. So it's no surprise that he had a lot of sorting machines destroyed. The question is why he is still there, having...

Looking at the forecast I can't see this being anything more than a very temporary state. I bet you couldn't declare ice in today. Friday looks like being warm enough for me to eat outside. In the...

You can get a 6kW split phase inverter on Amazon for around $1250 that will switch seamlessly to battery when the grid goes down and then recharge when the grid comes back. It will do 18kW for 20...
