Re: Windows 12
Down here DST was implemented in 1997 as a consequence of NAFTA. So, all of my childhood and school years were without it, and most of my work years have been with it. I got used to think about it only regarding to clock time and take it easy on the transition week, so no big issues, and that became...
Re: Golden
My old church, St Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr, was a work of art and most beautiful. It did not compare to the spectacular altars you have published here, Juan. There was some gold trim on the sanctuary walls, but nothing like what you show here. Thank you for sharing those marvelous pictures. Man...
Re: Golden
After going to Google Maps to check the surroundings of the monastery you point out, I see the Municipality building is among the sister's complex... Comparing sizes, the complex may cover a lot similar in size to the block where the Municipal Palace of Tlalnepantla de Baz and the Archdiocese of Tla...
Re: Golden
For the very same reasons you point, I've tried to stick with low premium coinage. Gold, even when most portable, is harder to sell at the right price, but silver, specially down here, is easier to exchange for cash. Point is finding the right place to buy and to sell, since they are not usually the...

Re: Windows 93
I happened to bring tulip bulbs home the last time I went to a job training to Israel, because I had to change planes at Amsterdam both ways. Followed the instructions on the package as best as I could, and got beautiful flowers, yet the flowers dithered fast due to the climate and the bulbs didn't ...
Re: Golden
I bought a few bullion coins as a SHTF caution, mainly got stuff that is easily identifiable, reliable and has real inherent value, and minted here in Mexico. They are pretty coins. worldcoingalley_dot_com has photos of lots of coins from all over the world A couple of the circulated ones I kept, It...

Re: Happy Pi Day
Greetings. I read you both are still alive and kicking, and that's good... As far as of what's been published, many specialists are beginning to think on the omicron strain of COVID as the beginning of the end of the pandemic disease and the early stages of an additional endemic respiratory disease....

Re: Out of touch - but alive & kicking
Everybody should experience a snow storm at least once in their life. In many ways it's a beautiful expression of nature. For you more tropical types, it's a reminder of how fortunate you are to live in a warm and snow free climate. Thank you for your New Year's wishes, Juan. at my age, and being g...

Re: Out of touch - but alive & kicking
Haven't been around lately, so I refrained to reply on other threads. Happy new year to the two old grumpy men here... and to all the infrequent visitors form the old Anahuac... Last week there was a media hype about the commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the last snowfall in the urban core of...

Re: Happy Pi Day
As someone that also has been near electronics manufacturing for a bit over 20 years, I've also seen and worn some of the electrostatic protection attires used. Leather soles are static dissipative, so if you passed an antistatic checkpoint, there was no issue. A ground strap is good, if supported w...

Re: Happy Pi Day
There are curious effects due to altitude change... Whenever I have to go sea level, there's always a slight euphoria due to that extra 40% of oxygen in each breath. Sleep takes effort, since there's always an extra bit of hyperventilation, even when relaxed. I use to go out to walk a bit to try bur...

Re: Happy Pi Day
The problem was the elevation. It's about 6000 feet above sea level in Colorado Springs and about 700 feet around here. That mile high difference has a remarkable effect upon the boiling point of liquids Ah, Bernoulli laws... Pressure makes things act differently. Bread grows better, planes need to...

I'm reviving this thread, since I didn't publicize any of the pictures I could take of the partial lunar eclipse last november 18th - 19th. To keep things short, I was clouded out by the time of the second contact, meaning when the moon begins to be covered by the dark part of Earth's shadow. Since ...

Re: B D Presents
I remember that back in 2003 I had the same issue for my firs passport. I went to the municipal SRE office with an studio photo I got for the purpose, only to have it rejected. The idea was that they had to take the photo and bill for it, so my first passport had and upset mug of me. The second one ...

Re: Happy Pi Day
Most of the glass grinding I've done has been done with Aluminum oxide as an abrasive... Silicon Carbide is harder and harsher, and Aluminum oxide is better to get smooth surfaces. I still have the jars with the abrasives I got 23 years ago from Rosber when they sold small quantities to general publ...

Let me explain it the way I use both TIFF and RAW. Most DSLR cameras, can store the photos taken in JPEG and RAW. The sensor product consist of a grid of RGB dots, that are converted in the image processor to a first image, which is processed also at the image processor according to the camera setti...

Re: Happy Pi Day
Too bad ceramic tile flooring is cold, otherwise maintenance beyond sweeping and moping takes a long time to be needed, and mostly reduces to refill the joints. Reading about your experience in wood framing for home is very educational, It sounded logic that replacing a damaged piece of wood needs a...
