Re: Really Old
Once I was giving a tour on the University to a freshman. We went to the sports activities offices and there were a few couples playing chess, and this freshman became interested after a brief chat with the guy overseeing the players, so the overseer talked us to play a game with me on a side and th...

Re: This may be the clearest evening in two months...
This is other image I took with the DSLR, Canon Rebel XS, on August 10th. This time at prime focus and with the unaluminized 126mm diameter, 882 mm focal length blank I bought 8 years ago from Firsthand Discovery. I left that piece of glass idle without figuring it until this year... Heat blur and t...

Re: This may be the clearest evening in two months...
I was checking some tests I did previously and I found this from May 18th. Thought it would be good to show it to you. It came from my DSLR, Canon Rebel XS. It's a 50% size rescalled copy. I think it was taken with the unaluminized 126 mm diameter, 608 mm focal length tempered soda lime glass blank ...

I've heard that there is an active talk for a reinforcement dose of one of the chinese vaccines. The Cansino single dose one, that was used to innoculate teachers here in Mexico. We may be closer to either third "boosters" or yearly vaccines than we thought. https://www.reuters.com/busines...

Re: Mobile LTE Coverage Map
You have a carrier named "Mobile Bandits?" I'm not sure I would trust a company with a name like that. LOL :mrgreen: Neither would I, not that I knew they existed... Telcel, AT&T and Movistar own their coverage infrastructure, the rest rent the infrastructure form someone else. I use ...

Re: Really Old
It also happened to me, once, I wanted to check a walkman, the cassette player didn't work. When opening it the player transmission bands were already melted. Then I began to check other cassette players I had around. There was no one whose transmission bands were not aged beyond repair. It may need...

Re: WWW Code For Sale as NFT
I can afford to buy very little of much of anything on 89 bucks a month. US$ 89 a month is around 37% of the minimum IMSS '73 law pension down here... I'm aware from what I read that your number is the ammount left after bills, but anyway, it sounds insulting that people are left in such position, ...

According to the manufacturer, this Point and Shot has a sensor of 5.75 mm x 4.32 mm. A Canon EOS Rebel XS (The model of my DSLR) has a sensor of 22.2 mm x 14.8 mm. Will check with the DSLR next clear evening.

I've heard about the third shot possibility. We must not discard a yearly shot possibility as in the case of the 2009 flu.

Re: This may be the clearest evening in two months...
It's a relative masuremant, anyway. Effective focal length would be 650 mm. The insistence is because the image is not a prime focus one, neither was taken with a DSLR. Using the full possible optical zoom of the camera and a 9 mm eyepiece a 2,350 mm effective focal length is possible, also waiting ...

Problem is that form the outside it sems that revolutions are done for the benefit of people. Mexican Revolution was a mess. It stafrted as a fight for democracy and correction of working conditions.

Down here there's no such thing like a non-bank ATM. Every ATM belongs to a bank, whether they are in a brnch, in a mall or even within the facilities of a third company.
