This is a *SURVIVAL* manual. What part of that don't you get?

They didn't put this stuff in there if it was bull. The kerosene remedy
was supposedly used in WWII POW camps for tapeworms when the POWs
couldn't access medication.

It will be about $10/month more than the current Internet portion of your
bill.

Just call Comcast's customer service during the week and ask. The last
time I asked, it was cheaper to keep basic TV service and Internet
service than to go with only Internet service.

I noticed that also, that websites like Comcast and ATT Wireless are
organized to guide you to whatever services they're promoting, and
not to comprehensive pricing information about all the choices available.

Given that it's so difficult to find the things you want on their websites,
I agree that it's best to call them on the phone and ask.

Fluke Ti20 at 6495 USD was less expensive but

Not stopping the magnetic field but cancelling it. The closer the wires
are together the shorter the distance before it's field is cancelled by
an opposing field. Much as the reason why twisted pairs are used in data
lines (to prevent induced voltages from outside fields).

Newer PTC electric blankets have very low magnetic fields, but I do not
know what the actual standards are on current blankets. I had thought
reduced fields were mandated (in the US) but I can't find evidence of that.

I understand that, but I was nit-picking over the choice of words. The field is
strongest close in , but it extends out forever. It might make sense to talk about
the distance at which the field falls below ambient intensity, but the word
"penetrate" is somewhat misleading IMO.

From what I read in IEEE Explorer, PTC does work well to cancel fields,
but one of the federal regulating agencies won't approve its use in blankets
because there's a potential for higher leakage current.

Why would that be at all relevant? They are acting as a representative of
their company, and if their company has told them to say it, and they say
it, why would it matter what they thought?

Why should you get your head blown of for practicing turning the other
cheek.

You practice mind over
matter and ignore the ugly little pest that is snarling at you yet he
continues. But your good intentions still get you killed. It is an
awful world we live in. You are damned if you do and damned if you
don't.

Not easy to find, but a recent reply from a regular to the same
question on uk.d-i-y said he used to work for them, and the odds are
if you're over 30, it'll last longer than you.

If you hunt around a bit, you can get them for about £180 IIRC.
