They're good places to keep a canoe/kayak and bikes if you live with somebody who doesn't want them in the living room. One of the people in my complex has a full on woodshop in his. I noticed somebody else basically has a Jason Segel in I Love You, Man style mancave in his, complete with la-z-boy chair and beer fridge

Also my bad it was D&D in the only thread I follow there but the crossover from TFR posters is considerable and he brings up all good points.

LimbugLimbo is wrong on all three points though lol. He could definitely use that VFG if he held it properly (IE uses it as a handstop and wraps thumb up over barrel not under barrel) and it looks like his stock is pushing on the holster to shift the pistol upwards in that picture. If he shouldered the rifle the pistol would sit below the stock. It's a really dumb place for a holster unless you're mostly working in a vehicle, though.

The common assumption seems to be that an employer gets the same work done by remote work, and I don't think thats been demonstrated.

Less an assumption and more the actual data judging by googling "work from home productivity" https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/15259-working-from-home-more-productive.html

Ah.


I'm sure that survey by an online tasking app used a rigorous methodology to back up broad statements using only the most reliable form of data collection: self reporting. I should be able to safely use its rather broad conclusions to predict outcomes in a variety of distinct and nuanced challenges.

But the truth is, while what you linked is scientifically meaningless and has zero predictive power (even if it's true, is there an interaction between what proportion of the workforce is remote? Between which positions, etc), I haven't really dived through the literature to see if there are any meaningful studies. My assumption here is people tasked to risk millions of dollars, some of it their own, have done so and are not, as many would suggest, just trying to stick it to the common everyman (millionaire silicon valley engineer and executive).

Perhaps the second or third google results then

Without using spyware or capturing keystrokes, a California-based company has tracked a 47% increase in worker productivity. Based on non-invasive technology that doesnt grab user passwords, credit card info or other sensitive data, an eye-opening survey shows that smart companies are gaining ground by having workers work from home. What does the data tell us about how employees and team leaders can maximize output during the new normal?

https://news.stanford.edu/2020/03/30/productivity-pitfalls-working-home-age-covid-19/

quote:

That research was based on a randomized control trial on 1,000 employees of Ctrip, a Chinese travel company. The experiment revealed that working from home during a nine-month period led to a 13 percent increase in performance almost an extra day of output per week plus a 50 percent drop in employee-quit rates. The experiment was so successful that Ctrip rolled out working from home to the whole firm.

Or just keep assuming you know better without even a single search, I guess

A couple of years ago the importer for Baofeng got cited for importing non compliant radios so the ones you can buy now dont work for that, but there are plenty of old ones around.

Even so it's usually a matter of adding or removing some solder between a lead or two to modify a commercial radio to broadcast on non-compliant bands. We did it to a bunch of different brands and models for adversary equipment for training
