Re: A daily dose of Vitamin C keeps the Corona Virus away

Lots of people trying to access information here, including many bots. So it happens, b...

Re: C-Band is doom... FAST
C band is NOT doomed. C band is the backbone and source of 99% of all the programming in the USA, and has been since the late 1970s. If C band satellites go away, so does Directv, Dish, Cable and all streaming services. They all get their content from C band satellites, not to mention all the other ...
