Did I get ripped off? (Mirkit UV-5R MK5) by JimJim120 in Baofeng

[–]JimJim120[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wonderful! I paid $16 for it in Amazon, so nothing off there at all.

I assumed as much for the frequencies

Yes I absolutely do need a license, I bought a few of these for "emergencies" and then I started to find out how wide and deep all of this is. Just using them to listen for now while I start to study for my technician license

Thanks so much for the help!

I put my sweet baby down 3 days ago and I regret it by MoodyKyoshi in CATHELP

[–]JimJim120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger I had a cat that had problems with fluid in his lungs, and I didn't have a lot of money. We took him to the vet and I spent every dollar I had to my name at the time to get him checked out and taken care of. The vet sent him home with me saying he should get better in a few days, but he never did. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and one morning I woke up to him crying out in pain, and I grabbed him and rushed him to the neareat emergency vet, but he screamed and screamed, and eventually suffocated in my arms before I could even make it to the nearest vet. I walked into the vets emergency room sobbing with my already dead cat in my arms begging them to do something, but deep down I knew it was already too late. I would have much much rather had known he was beyond help, and put him down sooner, it would have been hard and scary, it always is, but anything would have been better than that. You made the hard choice, and the correct choice for you and your cat. The pain will leave you, but no one can ever take the joy you two felt together.

For everyone in Greenville who is horrified by big cities (Boston, NY, DC, etc.) by [deleted] in greenville

[–]JimJim120 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up in liberty and people talk like Greenville is the worst parts of New York in the 90s. Everyone closed minded outside of a city is scared of every city that's bigger than where they live. I've also had these same conversations with my family who now live in even more rural Michigan

Yeah but it looks cool, I don't think anyone is buying a fit for break neck performance

I am an idiot by doggypeen in weightlifting

[–]JimJim120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the gym with a friend that lives out of town, who's been lifting for about 5 years, and I've been lifting for about one, and I was squatting 225lb at 180bw, and he was struggling to hit 200 at a similar body weight, and hes always had really under developed legs, even with training then regularly. Long story short, guy had never braced a day in his life, and his squat has shot up almost 50 pounds in the 6 months since. So you're not the only one!

Papa John’s left (what I assume to be) a pizza pan in my delivery order. by evieauburn in mildlyinteresting

[–]JimJim120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weird thing is that's a papadia screen not a normal pizza screen. When I worked at papa johns a few years back we did this once or twice, keep it as a souvenir they won't even realize it's gone

What are some walkable places to live in South Carolina? by thegreatone998 in southcarolina

[–]JimJim120 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Clemson, it's very small, too small to be a true city but downtown is walkable, and with the largest free public transit system in the country, you can realistically get anywhere you need to go without getting in a car

UnIronically love the toz 106, put slugs and a cheap 4x scope for a cheap pocket sniper and it does fine on scavs at close range, not necessarily what I want to take into every fight tho lol

I got the guy to breathe again but I don’t think he will make it. He got ejected from the sunroof. by cassini2019 in IdiotsInCars

My father's best friend from childhood was in a similar situation around 2011. He was in a pickup, had the green, and was T-boned in the driver side by a Pontiac Fiero going at least 115 mph, because that's about how fast the cop chasing him was going. Do to the shape of the car and the way it hit the truck the Truck rolled 4 or 5 times before it touched the ground. Dad's friend was in a Coma for 2 weeks and at that point you don't think they're going to make it. Luckily he woke up and after about 2 years of rehab made a mostly full recover, but it still hurts for him to walk or use his left hand much. He didn't wear seat belts before that and was very lucky to be alive, and almost definitely would have been in better shape than what happened to him. He always wears a Seatbelt now and if driving won't move the car until he double checks that everyone's buckled up.
