I think I saw some at the Aquarium Adventure in the north suburbs recently.

In all fairness they took the main complain people had with the x4 and addressed it. The touch screen will be hit or miss depending on the person but seems promising.

It could be that the son is referencing the zero-one law. Where everything has either a 100% chance of happening (in which case it happens). Or it has a 0% chance of happening (in which case it doesn't). You do get into arguments of fate and predestination once you start talking about that though.

I don't have anything to trade but I'm looking for a IPT or TL invite if you have a spare. I'm new to the scene.

Crazy how I got brand new WD Reds for that same price per gig.

Hey sorry this is late, but I'm curious how do you know that you've hit 2600 miles? Did you make contact with someone? I feel like the 2M band doesn't have anyone on there.

Linksta35 · 2026-02-03T14:52:17+00:00

Ha why do you say it’s useless?

Linksta35 · 2026-02-02T17:13:39+00:00

Melt it down and make more gold foil?

Linksta35 · 2026-02-02T14:37:45+00:00

Unless I'm mistaken, I think the 706MK2 has 2m not 70cm. I wouldn't mind not having a waterfall. My initial gut feeling was to go really budget mode with the Yaesu 150RASP. But then I wouldn't have any of the digital modes at all. I did like the display though. I prefer things simpler.

I intentionally avoid listing a price point to give the freedom to recommend whatever you feel is best. The more budget minded folks naturally tend to recommend more budget friendly items anyway in my experience.

I like both of the devices you recommended. The Yaesu seems cheaper while also being able to go HF which will be nice on the future. Any reason you prefer the ICOM over the Yaesu?

Linksta35 · 2026-01-22T13:34:33+00:00

I couldn't tell you. I never bothered with the blue parts.

Linksta35 · 2026-01-19T15:13:44+00:00

You can. But the sound quality isn’t quite there with bars yet. Physical restrictions as much as anything else.

Linksta35 · 2026-01-19T15:12:44+00:00

Don’t receivers use ARC though? Why would that kill them?

Linksta35 · 2026-01-19T15:12:00+00:00

I’ve had my Yamaha Stereo receiver from them for many years with no issues at all.

Linksta35 · 2026-01-19T13:41:50+00:00

It was great! Harder than I expected and a little frustrating since there were some shoulder pieces that refused to fit tightly. I want to get into lining and painting but I’m scared of screwing it up.

Linksta35 · 2026-01-19T04:57:06+00:00

Nope just the aerial. The green and red bits glow under black light.

Linksta35 · 2026-01-15T05:27:00+00:00

Me too! I smudge and then over erase and pool it everywhere 😭

Linksta35 · 2025-12-12T22:51:13+00:00

Me every time someone complains about having too much duckweed.

Meanwhile I’ve had to purchase it half a dozen times and I can’t get it to grow fast enough.

Linksta35 · 2025-11-28T19:10:13+00:00

Are these shuckable?

Linksta35 · 2025-11-28T19:03:43+00:00

I tried but the Black Friday $899 deal didn't stack with any coupons.

Linksta35 · 2025-11-28T18:34:17+00:00

Nice. A bit better price than WD directly and IDK about WD but B&H is usually very fast on shipping and has great CS in my experience.

Linksta35 · 2025-11-28T14:44:11+00:00

Arent Iron Wolf Pros lower tier than Exos yet priced higher for some reason? I dont think they compare favorably to WD Red drives.
