You are absolutely right and I’m absolutely blind for not finding that. I did look, but my eyes are not as young as they once were. Now I feel much better with this user name.

That is the only place I have seen him, so I can’t say.

If I get more cash, that’s the one I want to buy. Looks like it would be a great skinner knife.

Prices are reasonable, for example the last image in the first post is $130. . . And has been sold.

A couple more

If you’re a nerd like me, you’ll like Big Bang Theory, if you liked that, Young Sheldon was surprisingly wonderful (especially Annie Potts as MeeMaw). There is a new spinoff called Georgies & Mandy’s first Marriage. I haven’t seen it yet, but it sounds good. None of these are art, just stupid fun.

Anyway I can change my user Name, I have been using this one for decades, but doesn’t reflect me anymore, I’ve been changing it. I would like to change it without losing my history here. Is there a formal method to making this happen?

10 Lessons on Radio Usage for SHTF from the Chechen Wars 1. “Chechens—shift frequencies during radio transmissions to avoid intercepts; Russians—continually scan all frequencies while retaining active ones already intercepted.” "In addition to not using cryptography, they did not regularly change frequencies because of the logistics challenges of synchronizing the process among every unit. U.S. forces, by comparison, change their communications format every 24 hours." 2. “Chechens—misinformation and overt intelligence “give-aways” used to fool federal forces and conceal real intentions; Russians—focus attention on “conventional words” and specific terminology used along with the bait.” “Russian forces also were subjected to massive onslaughts of disinformation. Dilegge reports that Russian units, were almost frozen, by confusion sowed in part by the Chechens. In one case in 1996, Chechens broadcast fake radio traffic from imaginary units in the clear for the Russians to deliberately hear.” 3. "Chechens—use more than one language when transmitting to confuse listeners; Russians—keep several interpreters on duty at any one time.” “…the Chechens had a native form of secure communications. While virtually every Chechen speaks Russian, almost no Russians speak Chechen. By adding a few simple code phrases, the rebels could communicate in the open without fear of interception in a manner similar to that of the U.S. Army's Navaho code talkers in the European theater. In addition, most of the Chechen radio operators recognized each other by voice.” 4. “Chechens—place radio sets and antennas in operational mode on trees as repeaters to avoid detection and remain intact if fired upon by artillery; Russians—use additional course and bearing indicators mounted on helicopters to locate more than one point of transmission.” 5. “Chechens—use deep ravines and canyons as natural corridors for radio waves to make intercepts impossible; Russians—place radio intercept equipment on vectors of transmissions on axes of ravines and canyons in plateau areas of Chechnya.” 6. “Chechens—use radios as auxiliary facilities only for notification of when and where to meet a messenger with information; Russians—pay particular attention not only to contents of transmission but to location of both respondents.” 7. “Chechens—constant change of nicknames and call-signs to produce uncertainty as to who is on the air; Russians—learn not only frequencies and nicknames but also personal linguistic traits of respondents.” "...Russian forces ignored many other basic communications security procedures. […] Chechen officials claim that they could intercept Russian tactical communications on their own commercial off-the-shelf radios. Code phrases used by the Russians in open communications were easily deciphered and understood." 8. “Chechens—intercept federal forces transmissions to gain intelligence; Russians—use alternative media and channels unavailable to insurgents.” “…Chechen officials, who also equipped women and children with these radios for intelligence purposes, say these handheld units were so valuable that they would have equipped every rebel with one if they could have afforded it." 9. "The Chechens also had six large Motorola base relay stations, which they placed on the high ground. The Russians could see the sites and their antennas during the day, but they only risked attacking them at night. By then, Chechen forces would have moved the sites. The Chechens claimed that they were in radio communications at distances of up to 100 kilometers (65 miles)." 10. "[Chechen forces were] equipped with a new commercial Motorola handheld radio purchased abroad. Russian forces, on the other hand, were using tactical radios as old as 30 years [...] 'at the tactical level, the Chechens had better communications than the Russians.'” You can buy a basic, bare-bones Baofeng UV-5R for $17 right now. No excuse not to have one. BaoFeng UV-5R for $17, with charger $20, or two for $38

This is where they should be members of the FPC and GOA and get them involved as their lawyers are excellent. As someone said above, it really does depend on the circumstances. For example, what if he lives in a tight community on ¼ acre lots; then the neighbors have a legitimate concern. If he has 100 acres, and was shooting toward their houses, still a problem. Otherwise, if he was doing nothing illegal, the judge should tell them to f-off.

Another option just popped up on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/380549672001655/permalink/8771377839585421/?sale_post_id=8771377839585421

This is not really 100% true, it really depends. USB-C in its initial form could only supply 5v and 3A, and ALL USB-C connectors are required to supply that. BUT as the specification has grown, it now can supply up to 50v and 5A, depending on the cable as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#USB_Power_Delivery In theory if you use a height power distribution power cable (one that supports the 50v, 5A mode), and a power brick (solar panel in this case), that cannot supply that; if it is poorly designed, then it could cause the electronics to overheat and be damaged (on the panels, not on the target device). That being said, most devices are designed to only put out the maximum it is designed for, regardless of the cable and device plugged into them. It should be safe to do.

That’s a good find! Thank you!
