Who on earth uses pagers?
They were made by an Israeli shell company in Europe. I think the trigger mechanism is relative simple. Mossad made an identical battery, except half was filled with explosive. The new battery had its own micro circuit board and was set to explode when XYZ message was received. -

Iranian Hackers Shared Trump Campaign Data with Biden Associates, US Officials Reveal
I’m not buying it Harris was the AG for the state of California she would be shouting something like this from the rooftops she understands the consequences of using such information.that smacks of a disinformation campaign -

Any reports of recent ME Non-I O visa (marriage) in region?
Rather than continually play the man, post link to reports of success at HCMC for ME Non O marriage without seasoning. Hopefully there are some. https://aseannow.com/topic/1308373-ho-chi-minh-multiple-entry-marriage-visa/ -

Today I met the first farang returning home because of exchange rate
Serious? Are you suggesting that when I came and it was 65, I should have planned on it becoming 25 ? Sounds absolutely stupid. -

Game over
Ok, "I've never had COVID", is a bit like an untested HIV+ saying they never had AIDS. COVID, like AIDS, is the disease. A lot of people infected never developed recognised symptoms (recognised being the operative word). 33% of positive COVID cases will test negative by PCR. People misunderstand how masks work. They do not work like the colander you wash your vegetables in, ie pore size. They work exploiting Brownian motion and Van Der Waals forces. Viruses and other very small particles move by Brownian motion, which is easily overcome by other forces. Your tap/faucet stream of water isn't, otherwise the colander fills up. Van der Waals is, in simple terms, static charge. At a neutral pH, viruses have a negative charge, and they are attracted even by a weak positive charge. Hence its really hard to be infected by the Sars Virus by being near a surface, unless you apply forces to overcome that Van der Waals force, like heat (eg rubbing). Cotton has a charge, so a single layer can capture some viruses, but the weave is too regular. A double layer mask, where the weaves are at 45 degrees to each other, is a bit more effective. The question is how much knock down is there of the ID50. The single use blue masks use spun propylene; its no longer a regular cross hatch weave, but a random mass of fibers. The poor size is still the same (you can breath through just as well), but the effectiveness goes way up, to 95% of virus sized and above particles. A cloth mask is probably 25%(it will vary a bit). 2 people, X has a cloth mask, Y doesn't X receives 75% of whatever Y is coughing up. But if Y is also wearing a mask, then X is exposed to 56% of whatever Y is coughing up. Gaps at the side don't make that much difference, because, guess what, the force of the cough is overcoming Brownian motion, Those virus particles don't suddenly change direction. -

Scientific American endorses Harris, only 2nd pres. endorsement in its 179-year history
It's a shame that a magazine that purports to support science has gone woke. IMO it's read by so few that their biased rant will make zero difference. -

Portfolio Tracking
If its just equities, Schwab has ample tools and dashboards. It's when it gets complicated then the only real answer is a spreadsheet to collate everything together. Luckily, xls does have some data feeds to populate a lot of the data. I use investing app a lot too. Don't they say don't look daily at your portfolio anyway? -

cartridge filter cleaning
I have a pool in my yard and frankly, taking care of it on my own is a nightmare. So I read Homeaglow reviews and hired professionals in this field. The pool has never looked so clean! The specialists not only removed all the dirt, but also carried out preventive maintenance to avoid future problems. -

Story Of My Thai Citizenship Application
I have a book, never had a digital WP. I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer the book. 😉
