One use? ? You mean like a fuse? ? No. ?They come with some kind of warranty but likely last forever. ?

I guess it is concievable it might go on after just one direct hit by lightening but more likey it will live in the panel for 30 or 50 years.

Re: Mini Lathe and Northern Lights
The Carrington event was a huge storm.? Estimates vary on the X
class flare for that event. Some estimate it was an X20.? Some argue
the storm in 1921 was larger. By comparison the recent flare which
created the huge geomagnetic storm was X 5.8, I think.? A few days
later there was an X 8.8 flare that wasn't directed towards Earth.?
There has been larger flares in the past that weren't directed
towards Earth.? Another solar flare like the one during the
Carrington event would likely destroy most all solid state devices
and create mass chaos since we are so dependent on tech nowadays.?
Vacuum tube equipment would survive though.? Yeah, we are way off
topic.
Stan, an amateur radio operator in TN.? Yeah, I have some vacuum
tube equipment :)

Re: Words you can no longer use at FedEx shipping mini lathe parts
Not stop directly, but provide a definite link back to the sender if anything bad happens, be it a terrorist attack, accidental aircraft fire because of non-declared hazmat, or just spillage or damage.? If someone is sending something by mail/parcel they are clearly trying to avoid being caught, as opposed to a suicide bomber.
Ted Kazcynski mailed his bombs in packages covered in stamps and dropped off in the blue boxes.? That's why you can't send anything more than 12 ounces except in person or with electronic (traceable) postage.

Re: Mini Lathe and Northern Lights
Here in NE TN I saw a bright purple patch through a tiny hole in the clouds but the rest of the time it either too cloudy or nothing to see. There are mor bigger sun spots developing but they dont think the solar wind will hit Earth. I drove 17 miles up into Virginia but still saw nothing even with long exposurtes.
