  1. To add, all switches on the FlySky TX need to be in the proper position. Try re-binding. Also test on your other drones, to eliminate the TX as the problem. Assuming new drone uses a computable protocol with TX. Check to make sure the RX wire/plug hasn't come loose since initial binding.
  2. Me shooting firearms in the yard would be a pretty good clue. Have a nice day
  3. Something wrong with being prepared. Home invasions & burglaries are real. Most homes in my neighborhood were broken into, except mine, my friends, and other known gun owners .... Go figure. It's a right to own ... nobody is forced to participate. I have flat tire repair in my car, Haven't had a flat tire (car) in years, if not a decade, but I still have a fix or spare. Better to have, than need, works in so many situations.
  4. Yes, and why getting scoped (both directions for my) is recommend every 5 yrs after certain age. Think I'm due next year, for my next one. Only 1 or 2 very small polyps removed last time. As I stated earlier, abdominal ultrasound is always good to have, as will show masses, that may or may not need further investigation.
  5. Next up ... a revised version of the 'Restrict Act' that would get pass the vote. 1984 ... better keep that 2nd Amendment ... you're going to need it. Pay attention ... stop being 'DISTRACTED' FREE THOUGHT ... to be banned in the not to distant future.
  6. Taking a guess, but most drafted into the Nam war, never owned or even shot a rifle, let alone how to care for one. Major 'known' drawback of the AR-15, M16, M14, and told about in boot camp (yes I was told) ... they suck if they get dirt, any dirt in the barrel or mechanisms. Complaints to parents, would fall under 'user error'...IMHO Also the .223, excellent in open areas, not so in jungle warfare, as round is too light vs the heavy AK round. Still an excellent weapon, M16, and as with all machines, only as good as the operator. I loved it. I talk from experience, not news-blips or Op-eds. Even more fun to shoot is the M60 .. ????
  7. Not the civilian version and I doubt if any military uses it today. US military didn't like it, and why it was upgraded to the M16. If it wasn't for the media, and the attempt to ban it, it wouldn't be so popular. For 30 yrs, it had poor sales, and not until the Brady bill did sales rocket. With every attempt to ban it, sales and profits (price also) have gone up. You want to encourage people to own something .... tell them they can't.
  8. I used to shower at work, only because I was hungover, and or running late. Or never made it home to begin with, the night prior. After the first wave of flights, (1 hr) I'd shower and be fresh for the rest of the day.
  9. If I ever returned to the USA, that is exactly what I have in mind to do. Wouldn't be for a year, but till my end of days. Really can't think of a better existence if I returned. Being nomadic works for me, always has. And NO ... family would think that's way too cool, and not a nutter. We're like minded in that aspect.
  10. As safe as anywhere IF using common sense.
  11. AR-15 is simply better for most uses: https://www.diffen.com/difference/AK-47_vs_AR-15 Not a fan of the AR-15, especially for the price. Thought my Ruger Mini 14 a far superior firearm. If I could only have 1, it would be the Mini 14. AK-47 was fun to shoot. FN49 even more enjoyable, as was my Mauser 8mm. Both very heavy and would hate to haul them around the forest if hunting. For home defense, 357mag, or pistol grip short Mossberg 12ga would be my choice, and owned both. Glock 9mm for concealed carry, is pretty hard to beat.
  12. I doubt if the AR-15 is used by any military, so no, it is not a weapon of war.
  13. CEA & AFP are cancer marker tests, routinely given with a check up. I always get a full abdominal ultrasound.
  14. Wrong. It's also available in semi-auto, as I owned one. Guessing the AR15 is much lighter and cheaper than the AK.
  15. Left UT about 7 yrs ago. Have also had Makro's Australian beef picanha, and agree, some of the best around. Prefer that, as I get to cut the steaks thick. As stated earlier, the 2 for 1s at Gourmet Market, Hua Hin, are decent values also, when available, for those in the area.
  16. That behavior (in OP) would have been inappropriate, anywhere, anytime. Extremely lucking he didn't end up in the ER.
  17. If not mentioned already: ... " transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)" Friend had it done here/TH (Udon Thani), and said best decision he ever made and regretted not having it done much earlier. Google is your friend.
  18. I actually edited (deleted) post you quoted as, close enough, and didn't want to add to the silliness .... BUT ... since you asked.
  19. Problem with TH, is the consistency or lack of quality/rating of beef. Pricing is just way too silly for some. When in Udon Thani, use to get quality inexpensive tenderloins from Tops, Other cuts at the time were krap. Then CP/Central took over the mall & Tops, with major revamp & silly prices. Also use to buy from Thai-French, and decent, but very inconsistent quality. I rarely buy beef steaks now, though usually peek at them, and usually give them a pass. If I want beef flavor now, it's burger. Rare occasions, if Gourmet Markets (Hua Hin) & 'You Hunt We Cook' has a good rib-eye (2 for 1), then I'll have them cook it up for me. So far the only vendor that actually knows how to cook a steak, and always excellent. If nothing look good, off to the food court/hall vendors for excellent Spicy Fruit Salad, and an excellent Chicken Wrap, or Quesadilla, for fraction of the cost, though not as satisfying.
  20. With many expenses, I'm a thrifty shopper/CC ... call it what you want. Though I will spend for value. I don't tip, aside from small change, as that is the accepted practice here, non tourist area. If in a tourist area, probably don't tip there either, as service usually doesn't deserve it, most cases. Over the past few years, actually forever, my purchases/'investments' have been geared to cost savings, ex: solar system & EVs. I always play the long game. That it helps lesson my carbon footprint and lessens air pollution, is a nice side benefit of. But savings and being spiteful toward PEA & PTT was the main motivator. Save & use rainwater, it's there, so use it, instead of paying PWA for it. Though ROI for that, is a long ways off, IF ever. We don't compromise on food, as enjoy it too much. If we can make it, great, as it is much cheaper, usually, and tastes better, along with healthier. I don't haggle prices, but I don't find myself overpaying either. We could easily sleep in the car, since running AC all night is possible now with an EV, and use the resort's poolside showers, if really wanted to be 'mean' with our money, but I'm not that much of a CC .... yet. Or willing to give up the comfort of soft bed & ensuite toilet. Won't stay at dumps, or eat substandard food to save money. I deserve more, and sometime spend what others would consider silly money for some things, but I don't care. Me Me Me attitude, it's my money, and I'm worth it. Mixed bag of going out of my way to save a few baht, to doing, spending whatever .... because it puts a smile on my face, and I just don't care, how much it cost.
  21. I used to order meats (frozen) from Patts to Udon Thani, and shipped by bus, and never signs of thawing on arrival.
  22. Depends why you think the sanctions were put in place to begin with. To force RU to withdraw from UA ? ... ... that's funny Or to boost profits of the non-RU fossil fuel industry ? ... since the only result of the sections, I'd say they were extremely successful.
  23. Considered that myself occasionally. But gnawing on animal flesh is simply too satisfying, and can't find a comparable veggy alternative. Whether soft and succulent rib-eye or tenderloin, to spicy Wing Zap @ KFC, to tough chewy jerky. I've accepted being a carnivore, although, if having to kill my food / meat, I'd probably only eat seafood as a meat source. They cry and scream in agony at a frequency I can't hear, much like plants. AND ... yes they do: "Researchers in Israel found that plants make a high frequency clicking sound when placed under stress. During a six year study, the researchers listened to a variety of plants including tomatoes, grapevines, tobacco and wheat. The plants made noises when they were cut or when they were thirsty." https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/04/02/scientists-have-recorded-the-sound-plants-make-when-they-are-under-stress#:~:text=Researchers in Israel found that,or when they were thirsty.
