Reboot

It's the other way around for me. Got my first child registered at the DC embassy so she could have her Ph citizenship, now have to do the same with the two month old.

The "dishes" cost $1500 to make, which actually is extremely cheap for phased array electronically scanned antennas. But StarLink is still having to subsidize $1000 out of that in order to get the equipment price down for the customer.

Once it becomes available, I will become a customer in the RoP once I go back. Local providers could become licensed resellers and get a piece of the revenues. It could also be used as backhaul for standard cellular services in more remote areas, no fiber or copper needed to connect the sites. I don't see it happening this year, although I could be wrong. They are still beta testing in North America. UK's OneWeb is also back in business after bankruptcy (and with dozens of satellites already in orbit), and Canada's Telesat has plans to loft its own constellation (there is already a tes

It's more fun in the Philippines!

I didn't know Brits spoke English!

I looked on there....not sure if they are fake/bad products though.

That's maximum federal level allowed. Actual products contain far less, as they are tested and there are always variances in harvested product. Anyway, 0.3% is a subclinical level. It produces no observable effects.

If COVID-19 had happened in 1919, it would probably have killed more people than the Spanish Flu. Thankfully, the state of medical sciences has greatly improved over the past 102 years.

You guys are lucky. I get nothing because of the income caps. The only time the IRS is interested in me, is in the tax it wants me to pay.

Hello Friends My wife's younger sister has suffered from seizures all her life. She has controlled it with phenobarbital. But the side effects have been awful, making her a low functioning human being. She has always been like this. Phenobarbital is a barbiturate with sedative effects. During Christmas, we sent the family a balikbayan box. In the box were a couple of (expensive) bottles of CBD oil we got for her. As you might know, CBD is non-psychoactive and legal in the US. It is extracted from hemp plants that don't have any THC, etc. It has been used with great success to t

Hey everyone. Don't come here as often as I used to. How are you doing in the middle of this? Hope you're all well and happy.

I have a friend over there where the outbreak started. His mother collapsed. He took her to the hospital. They turned them away. They don't have enough people/resources do deal with this right now. Plus I read that Germany screwed them. The Italians ordered a bunch of supplies, face masks, etc, and PAID for them, and the Germans just seized it at the border for themselves.

Italians saying 99% of deaths are people with pre-existing illness. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/99-of-those-who-died-from-virus-had-other-illness-italy-says

I hope not Tommy T. We get no guarantees in this life. Stay safe and healthy brother!

The stats are far from perfect. Firstly, the confirmed cases are not reflective of the true rate of infection. That's almost certainly way higher. But they are enough to go on in terms of this being a serious situation.
