Walter Cryan

Walter Cryan (born 1932) is a former announcer and veteran News reporter and anchor for channels 12 and 6 in Providence, Rhode Island, with a career of more than 50 years.[1]

He graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications. In 1956, Cryan went to work in Attleboro at the former WARA radio station and joined WPRO radio in Providence in 1965. He also was the voice of the old Foxboro racetrack from 1963 to 1985. Cryan became the lead newsreader for WPRI in 1965 and was paired throughout his 30 years there with partners like Doug White, Mike Gorman, Janice Glynn or Karen Adams. He retired in 2000, but returned to television in 2004 to work as the 6 p.m. anchor at WLNE-TV. His definitive retirement came in 2007.[1]

Personal life

Walter and his wife, Ruth, have nine children. They reside in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.[2]

gollark: POST data isn't in the URL though, it's sent as the body.
gollark: The reason they *do* is probably just consistency with other methods (it would be very annoying if they worked very differently to GET routing-wise) and so requests can be routed to the right handler more easily.
gollark: <@498244879894315027> Why wouldn't (shouldn't?) they have a URL?
gollark: They do have to spin pretty fast. There are sealed helium ones now.

HDDs require a certain range of air densities to operate properly. The connection to the external environment and density occurs through a small hole in the enclosure (about 0.5 mm in breadth), usually with a filter on the inside (the breather filter).[124] If the air density is too low, then there is not enough lift for the flying head, so the head gets too close to the disk, and there is a risk of head crashes and data loss. Specially manufactured sealed and pressurized disks are needed for reliable high-altitude operation, above about 3,000 m (9,800 ft).[125] Modern disks include temperature sensors and adjust their operation to the operating environment. Breather holes can be seen on all disk drives – they usually have a sticker next to them, warning the user not to cover the holes. The air inside the operating drive is constantly moving too, being swept in motion by friction with the spinning platters. This air passes through an internal recirculation (or "recirc") filter to remove any leftover contaminants from manufacture, any particles or chemicals that may have somehow entered the enclosure, and any particles or outgassing generated internally in normal operation. Very high humidity present for extended periods of time can corrode the heads and platters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Integrity
