What happen to eLoran, the Loran C, replacement.

  Chayka (Russian for "seagull") is a Russian terrestrial radio navigation system, similar to Loran-C.

It is still in use. Some of the Chayka transmitters have output power of 1200kW. That is more powerful than a GPS or other GNSS satellite and is not susceptible to the Kessler syndrome.

For navigation purposes Russia might be in better shape than NATO.

  Prof. Dr. Durk van Willigen of Reelektronika posted about a new navigation receiver that integrates eLoran, Chayka, and GNSS signals.

The receiver is only 6cm long and is based on the Loradd++ Core that is available from Reelektronika

Is this inflation corrected?

Does this include things like education assistance to veterans.

Does this included things like the USNS Mercy or Comfort providing typhoon or hurricane relief to Philippines or Puerto Rico?

Did this include astronaut recovery of Apollo astronauts by the USS Hornet?

Does this include maintenance of GNSS systems such as United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System and the European Union's Galileo plus Japan's Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) that is a (US) GPS satellite-based augmentation system to enhance the accuracy of GPS, with satellite navigation independent of GPS scheduled for 2023 plus the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) that plans to expand to a global version in the long term. Most of theses are probably military funded.

vm writes: Eli Naffah, the manager of NASA's Commercial Services Project explained, "Hopefully, we can achieve some cost efficiencies in buying commercial services, get out of the business of operating networks, and really put more focus on science and exploration.â

The development is part of NASA's long-term initiative to hand over most of low-Earth orbit operations to commercial players. The space agency is already purchasing cargo and crew transportation services from Northrop Grumman and SpaceX, with Boeing due to join that list later this year.

He can't drive their electric car to work because someone has not been paying the the bills. He puts in long hours. He brings home a paycheck. Where does it go. He doesn't know. He trusts his wife. I know that this is off topic from the previous family issues, but a Load Limiter come on man. Miss a bill no car charging, electric stove, electric heat or refrigeration. Enough power to watch TV commercials for electric cars. These electric rates can hurt any family.

I agree Family support is a very important thing. With cheap energy she could have paid the bill.

Energy inflation is about 25% depending on whose reporting.

Energy inflation is hurting her. It's helping Putin. It's hurting Ukraine.

The poor people aren't the vectors. It's the movers and the shakers. Maybe we should ask questions like is this trip necessary? The individuals that go to climate conferences and other events would seam to spread all sorts of pathogenic agents. This varies by individual depending on their proclivities for what some may call contact sports.

Ivermecten is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, published by the World Health Organization (WHO), contains the medications considered to be most effective and safe to meet the most important needs in a health system.

    The CDC website leads people to believe that it is only for horses. They never mention that about 4 billion doses have been administered to Homo sapien sapien in the last 4 decades.

  Homo sapiens sapiens, in anthropology and paleontology is the subspecies of Homo sapiens that consists of the only living members of genus Homo, modern human beings.

The book Arrowsmith

Following paragraph from wikipedia.

His scientific principles demand that he avoid mass use of phage on the Island. Rigorous scientific understanding of the phage is more important than any lives on the Island lost due to lack of treatment. After his wife, Leora, and all the other people who came with him from the institute to the island die of plague, he reluctantly abandons rigorous science and begins to treat everyone on the island with the phage. While on the island, he becomes romantically involved with a wealthy socialite whom he later marries. He considers his actions on the island to have been a complete betrayal of science and his principles.

Is the quest of rigorous understanding of an effective drug, Ivermectin, killing people? Once the survival of one group exceeds the other there is no need to kill people to get data to three or four decimal places.
