Are the people getting caught with switches getting the 10 year sentences? That would be a little bit of a silver lining.

Are the people getting caught with switches getting the 10 year sentences? That would be a little bit of a silver lining.
Thanks, I get all that, but I don't think my neighbors are going to buy repeater capable radios.
"Typically the repeaters are already out there"
Not around our neck of the woods - the nearest...
I was under the impression that the usual FRS/GMRS radios are not repeater capable?
As in, I set up a repeater, and buy a repeater-capable handheld, I can't use the repeater to talk to the usual...
"Also wondering what sort of actual, practical range you find they're getting for MURS."
+1 (especially a GMRS to MURS comparison, since those are two of the most accessible possibilities)
"Range up to a few miles"
That's always the question: range is very very very dependent on the topography between the transmitters, antennas, as mentioned whether the antenna is in a car, yadda,...
Parents can surely be liable for the acts of their children - but how strict should that liability be?

So ... I'm the guy who just ordered his first drone, a DJI Mini 2 SE, $300. It hasn't even gotten here yet, which tells you how much I know.
With that said, there are two kinds of drones: FPV and,...
Thanks for the other info!
About a ban, yikes! It seems like there would be a lot of pushback there.
Are there any non-Chinese consumer drones?
Oh, thought of another question: when googling, I found one page that seems to say that DJI tries to keep you out of trouble by enforcing an altitude restriction of ??500?? ft, but that it isn't 500...
Resurrecting this thread because I'm looking for a drone.
Curious what LL got and if he has been happy with it?
Anyway, I'm interested in getting one. I'm looking at 'DJI Mini 2 SE' or 'DJI...
Isn't that part of S5.4, which says that prior to impact testing with the pseudo-head you have to either remove the glass, or go through the specified break-the-window procedure?
As in, you can...
Thanks for finding that! Way outta my lane, but I'm reading it differently???
The impactor (S7.1) is a head shaped thing weighing 18kg and approx 7x9 inches, which doesn't sound very puncturish. I...
If I'm reading this right, and if this is the rule eventually adopted, the requirements are indeed about keeping the occupants inside the vehicle (and maybe foreign objects like tree limbs out???),...
FWIW I looked into this for our vehicles recently. The 2018 F150 has laminated windshield and front side windows. The rear side windows (extended cab) are tempered. I didn't look at the rear window...
I also opted out of magazines. I past years I got a ballot in an envelope; this year I got one issue of the magazine that contained a ballot.
Maybe of interest: Canadian startup making new and retrofit diesel electric trucks. Replace the diesel motor+transmission with a half-the-displacement diesel+generator, with electric motors as input...
Maybe old news, but would something like this do the trick?

That's great to hear!
Here are some screws:

They have 4 inch ones as well. Most doors will have a doubled stud, so 3 inches,...
For exterior ballistics, Bryan Litz's 'Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting' is a pretty deep dive.
Doing it accurately is going to require a Brinell tester, which isn't cheap. The basic principle is to put a small hard ball on the material, apply a certain amount of force, and measure the...
In ancient days when I was in high school we had multiple incidents of the 'kids access booze and car keys while Mom and Dad are away' variety. IIRC 3 fatalities and a couple of maimings. There were...
It is or isn't nuts, depending on what inflation does: "three-month CDs in early May 1981 paid about 18.3 percent APY"

At home: 123's just get left in the box, coin cells in the blister packs, AAs in a suitable box.
The only ones I carry around are AAs for the game cameras, and then I use these (they have flavors...
