Replying to myself - It just occurred to me this is very on-topic! You see, Facebook is a load of Shit in an innocuous container - curiously, very similar to Mr. Gates's current poopy talking point.
It's not that foreign a concept. If you have a smart TV or DVR, after you pause for maybe 5 minutes it goes into a screensaver slide-show. Well, replace 5 minutes with 0, and screensaver with ad-roll.
This is a total non-starter for me, and will cause me to immediately "cut the cord", it will give me the push I need to make the final cut.
I already am ad-free thanks to the DVR scheduling, I never watch anything in real time anymore. Between that and various streaming sources as well as a private Plex server among friends, I never have to watch ads at anything less than 4x, unless I choose to.
Aircraft radars are in the hundreds of watts power output; WX radars are in the MILLIONS of watts. You're talking an order of magnitude difference of 10,000 or more.
Also, some circuits are more sensitive than others to particular frequencies due to the length of wires or runners on PCB's that act like little antennas, so not everything is going to be adversely affected, but stuff that's resonant at that frequency will be much more susceptible to external interference.
Some of the newer Doppler WX radars do a rapid narrow scan in some modes of operation for some fine examination of a particular front or phenomenon they want to image with more detail or using some more specialized mode like water vapor density, etc.
So, the usual low(er) power scanning 'round and 'round, like radars usually do, probably isn't enough to trigger this poster's problem, but if the high-powered focused scans happen to be in his direction, well, bad news that day.
Perhaps some Meteorologist can weigh in on this mode of operation with the radars, I don't know enough about them to be more specific.
There used to be a plugin you could install that enables Google search. Unfortunately, the cunts changed TBird so that plugin no longer works, and I see Google is gone from the search options now. Fuck I hate them. They keep adding worthless shit like Pocket, etc. and take away good stuff.
And the UI is HORRIBLE. Some awful mix of Win98 menus, yicky Win10 toolbars, and mobile hamburger menus, and they keep moving shit around from release to release, just like later Windows versions love to do. The latest versions feature colorless, bloodless, weak pale icons a'la Win10. Feh.
I'm Becoming less and less of a fan of the the more time goes on, but there aren't many better alternatives.
That's too bad about the pinching. I know exactly what you mean, but fortunately I use a hospital type bed to keep my legs elevated, and due to that I sleep in a "Z" formation and am forced onto my back. Before the good bed, I also used to sleep on my side.
The one feature of the Dreamwear mask I like is that top-of-the-head hose positioning, it makes for less things to turn when you move your head around and seems to be the most comfortable.
It's too bad you can't reinforce the side tubes on the mask, maybe you can put some springs in the side tubes like the big tube to prevent crushing? Just a thought...
I have the same model as you. Mine relies on the Cell data connection exclusively, but mine as yours does have the SD card slot, it's just empty on mine.
My thoughts are twofold, one is if I stick an SD card in the slot can I copy prior data to it, or does it need to be in at the time of use to receive the required data? And, two, if it dumps the data via cell then hopefully it's still available for copying to the SD card as well.
But it's not theirs. It's yours. You rent it for a year and you own it after that. Or your insurance pays outright for it when you get it, depending on the type of insurance you have. But it is definitely yours, not theirs.
It sounds like you need to ramp up more quickly, so you don't feel you're running out of air when it first starts up. Or your minimum pressure is set too low and needs to be higher - it would depend on whether you're having the starving sensation just at first and it gets better, or if it never gets right, the second instance is probably it. If you reported these sensations/symptoms to your Doc, he should have adjusted the pressure on you a few times.
Also have you tried the nose-only masks? I use one called "Dreamwear" that is very comfortable and doesn't cover the mouth. If you're a mouth-breather then you'll need a full-face mask.
I'm also a data nerd, and I figured out how to get into the config menus, etc. on mine. I was able to turn on user info screens that were turned off by default so I get the previous night's data on my sleep, but for a weekly/monthly summary and chart I have to go do my doctor.
The model I have has a cell phone in it! The older ones wrote data to an SD card, and you'd have to bring that in with you when you went to the doctor every 3 months or so for evaluation, but the cellular models download the data after every night's sleep so the doc can see problems, etc. right away.
The other issue is insurance. They will only pay for it if it is providing a positive medical benefit to you, so the data uploaded to the doctors is also used as proof the item is being used and that it is indeed effective.
I'm hoping I can use the software but without the machine snitching on me or failing to report the data to my doctor. I will have to surf the forums there to make sure that won't happen to me if I decide to try using the software.
I only have two other questions about PaleMoon - AdBlock? and NoScript? "No" to either is a deal-breaker. Otherwise I might be interested, ever since "Pocket" it's been downhill all the way.
Now I am having this really annoying weird shit problem where it stops rendering pages at random halfway through the page before it has rendered completely. It just hangs there, displaying favicon and it thinks it's done, but it isn't. Reloading the page re-renders it fine. Sometimes links don't work on the half-rendered page. Just started doing this about 3-4 weeks ago. Completely removed all traces of FF from the machine, completely reloaded from scratch and re-imported everything so no traces of the old profile remained, and it still does it. Disabled AdBlock and NoScript and it still does it on common pages like Google and even, (gasp!) Slashdot! Oh noes!
Sorry for the rant.:P Anyone else seeing this in the last month or so?
Yeah, then they could even roll an e-mail client into it, too. Make it one big huge program, and call it "Netscape Navigator", or something like that. Maybe??

We don't need "encryption" or any other hi-tech horseshit.
JUST FIX THE GOD DAMNED CALLER ID. NO SPOOFING. PERIOD.
Done.
Or, maybe his batteries just ran out...
I know, I had a brain fart. I realized my mistake as I hit "submit"...
Sorry. Carry On.
Actually it was Hamms beer that was from the LOSBW, IIRC.
Just sayin'...
The "you should feel" meme is old and you should kill yourself.
Niagra Falls?
Slowly I turned...
Step By Step...
Inch By Inch...
YHBT. YHL. HAND.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. I expected at least 1 funny mod, instead I only got a -1 Cowardly Pussy Mod (overrated).
FUCK this place, I'm done trying and contributing here. Fucking pearls before swine.
Blow Me. I'm outta here.
Isn't this the plot of Better Call Saul?
FP?
Then they would have not caught this current bullshit...
Is this true?

What kind of idiot comment is this? Instead of snark, how about you actually communicate what it is you have a problem with?
Every week, the comment section here is getting worse and worse.
Careful, you're entering snark-infested waters here...
