Welcome!

Nice pic. Hope you took that with a 250mm lens.

Mmmmmmm.... fresh shrimp. Everybody gets cheat days every now and then, and I can't think of a better way to cheat. Once you get comfortable with the waking, add in a bit of strength training. You'd be surprised how much you can do with a couple 15lb Dumbbells, and how much difference it makes.

You can upload straight from a phone, see.... Can also pinch/zoom photos which you couldn't do with prior mobile version. Can also do emoji without having to know the code. Sweet!

Just a general thanks boss! Seems like a very smooth transition so far.

Another +1 for the mobile version. Big improvement.

Same here, the "remember me" box is checked but I had to log in again. But I didn't have to reset my password again. And I've never changed my screen name. Not a big deal, as like OS, it let me reset it to what it was before.

Made me reset my password for some reason, but otherwise its fine.

Think OJ will sell the knife now?  :ugh:

Maybe. If it was grounded. If the EMP was very low strength or released a long way off. But again, a big EMP is gonna kill so many other things, I'm guessing you'll have bigger worries than whether or not your electronics got fried.

Not much, unless you've downloaded a bunch of useful info onto it such that it will function without signal. Wasn't there a survival iPhone thread?

    As effective as it is now at blocking your cell phone signal.  That's why phones don't work real well in some metal buildings... the building is effectively a faraday cage.            Dirt will work as well as it conducts electricity.... so, you'd need a really, really long post hole digger. 

I'm certainly no expert, but all the discussion and variations are because a Faraday cage is typically designed for a very specific set of circumstances.  It's designed to provide shielding from a known energy source (lightning, RF, electromagnetic, etc.), that may be inside or outside the cage.   Cages work both ways.... sometimes they're to protect what's outside the cage, sometimes they're to protect what's inside it, so they're inherently different.    I assume what you want is to protect your electronics from an EMP generated by a nuclear explosion.  That would be a large source of electromagnetic energy.  The only people who've researched that and really know the answer of what works is the government, and they're not talking about it.  So unless you know the energy signature (amplitude, frequency, etc.) of an EMP, you can't really make one specifically to block it.    Your idea of layering a few metallic containers with insulation will work as well as anything else.  The aluminum foil would probably repel a pretty low energy EMP.  The higher the energy you wish to repel, the more massive the metal structure needs to be so it has enough electrons to effectively block/transmit the energy away from what's inside the cage.  

    That would appear to be true...   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/87782-mcts-indoors-nashville-armory/

I work with a guy that does paint work on the side. He gets his paint from OReilly auto parts. The one here can order practically anything.... even bass boat paint.

If one of those guys can't do it, you might call a shoe repair shop.

    Indeed.  Check this out....   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6SsB3JYqQg

Time for the stars of the show....

So I finally got my pics uploaded. Here's few highlights..... Loved this B-25 pilot. He put the fighter pilots to shame.... you sissies call that a low pass? This, is a low pass. My favorite war bird... whistling death. :death: Matt Youkin put on a good show in his beautiful twin beech.... Greg Koontz puts on a great show doing all sorts of thing a Piper Cup shouldn't be able to do... ... like landing on a truck that's driving down the runway... The Air National Guard F-16 Viper put on a good turnin' & burnin' demo. My youngest had a big time with the Navy EOD divers. This had got to be tough duty for those guys. Their day job is to swim around under ships in cold, dark, turbulent waters and look for bombs to defuse. But today they get to play fish in the aquarium and splash kids. Good stuff.

Welcome!

Wow. That's crappy. I'd try to find names and addresses for regional, district, and corporate sales and customer service managers and VP's. Draft a letter explaining the whole story, including names and dates of everyone you've dealt with. Send that letter to all of them.

Newish Altima. Factory remote start AFAIK.

2nd hand information being what it is, I got it from the horse's mouth.... The car started, he rolled out from under it, grabbed the keys, jumped in, and shut it off. Being pissed, he slammed the door shut with the keys in the car. Then it started again and locked the doors. While frantically searching for wrenches to pull the battery cables (the hood was open), the low oil pressure sensor shut the engine off. Then it started again. The only thing handy was a ratchet so he smashed the window, got the keys, shut the car off, then smashed the key fob.
