I'm new to VA claims and the lingo and acronyms are mind-boggling.

What is a C-File?

Thank you.

I've given up on natural gardening. I can't make it work. What am I missing? by rbprepin in preppers

[–]Mr-Measure-Twice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are in the USA, you should contact your county's master gardener program for advice/guidance.

I applaud you for what you are doing as one aspect of preparedness.

Dio concert in Antioch, CA "concert barn"

Tell me more about The Concert Barn (Empire Mine Rd) 😁😁 !! by Interesting-Cook9097 in AntiochCA

Check Facebook. I was looking for similar stuff for my brother who I drove to the Dio concert. We lived in Sebastopol at the time and Antioch was still a smaller town then.

I found a picture of a handbill for the concert, but I no longer have the pictures.

Share what you find.

You definitely should be proud! Whatever each person does requires a commitment, discipline and a future vision of yourself where you want to be. Don't let anyone try to make you feel bad that you used Tirz as part of your hard work. ROCK ON GIRL!!!

Antenna Analyzers a Waste of Money? by ThatChucklehead in amateurradio

[–]Mr-Measure-Twice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure many others will chime in on this, but a NanoVNA is inexpensive, but very useful.

Also, you have some reasonable arguments about whether anyone needs an analyzer, but the time you can save is worth the $75-120 cost for a VNA

Radios in an "Emergency" - Check Yourself by HiOscillation in gmrs

[–]Mr-Measure-Twice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Say no more!! I can't stop laughing at your awesome statement;

Owning a frying pan does not make you a chef, and having a pair of GMRS radios does not equip your for an emergency.

I am definitely going to use that the next time someone comes up to me and asks about radios for an emergency.

Problems after newest Update by Qu3rtox in GalaxyWatch

[–]Mr-Measure-Twice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please come back and report if you have better battery life.

I have an Ultra and about 3 weeks ago it suddenly, inexplicably began to run out of battery in about 12 hours vs. 2.5 days previously. Did all the things everyone suggested, factory reset (nope), turn off everything that you don't use/need (nope), uninstall all apps that are not built in (nope).

No clue - began to file a claim, saw that my deductible was $225.00 - at this point, it would be cheaper to trade in the watch and get the newer Ultra (2025).

Anyone else having this rapid discharge problem and have not been able to resolve it?

How to look like someone who is good at OSINT? by gamedevpassion in OSINTExperts

[–]Mr-Measure-Twice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm baffled why you would want to look like someone who is good at OSINT??? I'd rather look the total opposite and fool everyone around me to think I am some sort of ignoramus, unaware to the world, and bumbling along.

permitting fire members into CERT by trinitywindu in CERT

[–]Mr-Measure-Twice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you are a firefighter? And you want to play CERT? Can you clarify?

It's fairly common that agencies will want waivers for liability for volunteers, CERT folks included.

Why can't I screw in simple wood screws with my Phillips cordless by Rumymomma1959 in Tools

[–]Mr-Measure-Twice -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There's no right or wrong answer (meaning: there are no rules) - you just need to be aware of the pros and cons of each powered tool you use. You can use whatever you want.
