For what it’s worth, I hope they find something to get you well again.

Fair enough, how are you doing now? Any word out from them yet?

Not even in the Mayo clinic?

Regarding 1, in the Netherlands there’s a rather (in)famous family of lawyers named Moszkowicz (different spelling, same name?), which are of Polish-Jewish heritage.

More likely Trabants or, for the elite, Wartburgs.

Stress, especially about money, makes you tired. So it’s got nothing to do with being lazy. I just switched medication because the old ones made me tired. It adds up quickly to feel debilitating IMO.

Not really shocking, but very well outside of the jurisdiction of MI5 and an abuse of power by the politicians.

About four years on average. I would go longer, but at that point the phones I buy tend to go buggy. I buy phones in the € 250 to € 300 range.

How is the data for February in other years? A quick Google didn’t give me this data, but I gathered that the number of fires in the wet season can vary wildly from year to year, where more fires occur in El Ninõ years.

There’s no rye bread with herring in your photo, the Danish don’t eat that? The Dutch do, topped with some chopped onions. Though my kids don’t like rye bread, it is getting old fashioned over here.

The general idea is that these parties do not want to be seen as anti-semetic, especially considering the German past. Which leads to no criticism towards Israel whatsoever. It’s a shame actually, because this opens the door to the AfD party, who dont have qualms about these kind of things.

300 ohm is only for the folded dipole antennas which have a four times higher impedance than a single dipole. So you don’t need to use a balun with a roof antenna, just the right type of dipole.

In the Netherlands we’ve always had coaxial connections as long as I can remember. A quick google search tells me this has been so since the introduction of TV in the 1940’s.

1. Make sure you can’t see a clock at night. Not knowing how late it is will stop your mind from going over at least one detail, how much time you have left to sleep.
2. Get a notebook next to your bed so you can write things down if something urgent comes up in your mind. If you’re like me, changes are you’ll never write down anything.
3. Try to not think about anything for 10 seconds or better 10 breaths. No toughts whatsoever.
4. If everything fails, have a book or e-reader ready, so you can relax while reading for a bit. Nothing with LCD screens though, they tend to wake you up even more.

These gems probably weren’t even on display in the museum, just hoarded in storage forever.

According to the book, grok is the Martian word for “to drink”. Since water is rare on Mars (and it is needed for life), it is a holy substance. Martians (and people studying the Martian language) share a drink of water to become “water brothers”, bathing is a profound ritual and to understand something or somebody completely is referred to as “drinking” them or it.

This is the general meaning of the word “to grok”, as originated in Heinlein’s book “Stranger in a Strange Land”.

You need a transmitter (oscillator + modulator) and an amplifier to get any reasonable range. Also (maybe even more important) some good antenna cable and an antenna tuned for your frequency. Without the right antenna you’ll never get a decent range.
