some rechargeable stuff like power tools don't play well with cheapo auto shop inverters but most laptops and home appliances have enough circuitry or whatever between the inverter and the battery to handle it safely

before installing win7 there is a mac port of gqrx which works "ok" except i have to move the mouse cursor in circles as the program opens or there's a good chance the keyboard and trackpad will lock up & i need to hard reset

just got a uv-3r and this janky looking panel to have up at the cabin. panel seems to direct charge just fine and the foymount repeater is super close. cell phone reception is abysmal and I wanted a more reliable way to call out if i break my leg or something. still waiting for a chance to take the test so i can start having some actual fun with radio, but it feels good to have an HT around even without a licence in case there's a serious emergency

lol theres def at least one of those. i think he volunteers to do 'escorts' on campus or smth cause one time i heard him complaining that no girls ever use it. lol. i guess maybe hes thinking he can meet some babes and be a gentleman and whatnot

that's exactly why, too often those "safe walk" services are stocked with gross dudes on yet another power trip when they should totally be girl gangs armed with brass knuckles and baseball bats
