"pfjw@aol.com" <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: Aug 06 08:50AM -0700 I find simple curiosity to be both sufficient and necessary for this sort of quest. Nor do I see utility as having any particular value. But all-and-at the same time, I have many things that I am curious about that would come in way ahead of hacking a laser measure.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Aug 06 05:26PM +0100 >> Peter Wieck >> Melrose Park, PA   > There is always a reason. The OP has not stated his.   A side-scan tide gauge (Google for one of those) Where no resident's land is anywhere near the river water at low tide, just the top of the tide. But 100m off land is about 98% of all the tide range , with large collector lens (with bored=thru central hole for the outgoing laser ) works in lash-up so far. And unusually for tide gauges any wave action increases the valid responses to the receiver at the required acute angle. In line bright sunlight at 100m will probably be out though. Tide height is then inversely proportional to the measured distance, as long as the waves are not too high but that would just give a spread of heights, averaging to about true presumably oe t least offsettable. A "proper" geodometer with interface topc is far too expensive for this sort of project.     -- Monthly public talks on science topics, Hampshire , England <http://diverse.4mg.com/scicaf.htm>

Wikipedia says this:   "Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can also determine altitude by trilateration with four or more satellites. In aircraft, altitude determined using autonomous GPS is not reliable enough to supersede the pressure altimeter without using some method of augmentation"   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter

I haven't flown in years so the procedure might have changed but airports would have their elevation prominently marked. Part of the preflight was setting the altimeter to match.

Maybe ?   Very common situation. My kid's car had the "air bag off" light on even with an adult in the passenger seat. Replugged all connectors under the seat, problem went away. Now, it shows NO light for no body in seat, and ON for body in seat. That was yesterday's repair! I've got plenty more of these replug and it just works fine stories.   Jon

The second thing is to unplug and replug anything with a connector.   Three is not enough current drawn in many of them to pass even a minor amount of oxidation. That is one reason for most computer connections to be gold plated. The old tin or tin/lead connectors on eairly computers were very bad about that. Usually needed a pencil eraser to be rubbed across the connectors.
