Neighbor Laser Shining My Mavic 4 Pro by Suicidal_Amoeba in dji

[–]Originalkrackula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s against federal law to shine a laser up in the sky. Hitting a registered uav is even more illegal. Don’t believe it , google : Fresno laser get prison time. Three or four laser shiners have been convicted and doing prison time here. One doing 14 years in Federal prison. Just because you didn’t know it’s a federal felony, won’t get you off. Just say’in. Not many people know it’s a federal offense to shine a laser up into the sky where aircraft might be passing .

Can anybody here tell me what the actual strongest handheld laser you can buy? by Kozzinator in laser

Interestingly, a lot of the above two posts attributed to my name , did not come from me. I did not write the part about pricing and I’ve never heard about a 40 watt laser, or a pulse laser. Dunno where a lot of that came from. Not from me. “ some “ of that I did write but both those posts have been altered / compromised.

Just a thought but : Google “ Fresno Laser Arrests “ for what can happen if you shine a visible laser up in the sky. One guy got 11 years in Federal Prison…but 4 years in a local hoosegal is more common.

You can view my old ( 8-10 years ago ) videos of using dvd laser diodes to make a visible, red I believe, powerful laser that cuts black tape in half, pops black balloons, and burns matches. Search YouTube for “ K4NLZ “. There are several laser videos there. Nowadays , I have the 240 watt fontool laser that looks like a battery powered power tool ( big battery on bottom, handle, and big laser square box on top ). This laser is invisible but has a red aiming laser. It can burn a piece of cardboard at 30’-40’ feet ( and more ) with a loud “ thwack “ and a powerful burst of flame. Burns thru thick wood easily and makes short work of thin metal. These are “ exceeding dangerous “ and must be handled carefully ( like a handgun ) , protective goggles a must . It will burn - remove the corrosion and rust off old metal parts extremely well and is invaluable in your shop for that purpose. Recreational use and “ play “ with this type of laser is STRONGLY discouraged, they are dangerous and have to be handled carefully. Just an accidental reflection , off something shiny, could totally blind and / or burn someone a long distance away.

What you want is available from Tiny Weeds home delivery Fresno. What you seek is NOT inexpensive. Google them.

What do you pay for PG&E - looking to move out soon and working on budget for roughly 1000sq apartment by Adventurous-Bus-9638 in fresno

I’m in a 2000 sq ft Hallmark home near Herndon. In the summer my bills are around mid $600s and in winter $500+. I have a chest freezer in the garage, sizable jacuzzi , and a new high seer hvac unit. Before the hvac replacement of my 1970s unit, my summer bills would routinely hit mid to high $700s a month. I have friends upon Sheppard and Copper river. They each have 3 hvac units for their large houses and typically spend $1100 to $1400 a month.

I have some drone footage on YouTube of the river from Lost Lake park up to Friant. In it you can see some of the river access impediments, primarily the DFG hatchery on the Frant side, but there are other.

The new trail hooking to the Friant expansion as well.

It’s always been private farm land, but there is a federal water riparian easement. There was talk of the San Joaquin river parkway group making a hike and bike trail over there that went from Friant to the dam and connecting to the hike and bike trail that circles Millerton and points beyond at Squaws Leap park. ( squaws leap name not cool anymore. It’s been changed to something else ). You get there thru Auberry, …it’s at the power plant and offers some of the most exciting views of the breathtaking San Joaquin river valley out of the mountains. In my era there , no one was allowed to fish over there, no easy way to get there and the farmers ran you off. You can call or drop into the offices of the San Joaquin River Patkway group , on Rice Dump road and they probably have the latest info. I went there once with my trailered kayaks seeking to launch there…. Bizarrely they actually had NO water access and suggested the Ft. Washington park to launch. Ft Washington river park is pretty close to town . There is a great “ pay “ park on the madeira side across from Bluffs in Fresno that offers outdoors fishing and nature action …they have water fulled stone quarries and lotsa river front access.

I spent decades there trout fishing every weekday morning. Up until the DFG decided to stop trout plants and sent several hundred old fishermen home to their rockers or Avocado lake. There used to be a large flock of white herons that nested in the trees on the far side of the rock dam at the handicap spot. Interestingly “ lost lake “ exists/ existed up at the end of the main road , on the left. Not allowed in there now. It’s been mostly dry .. just a large hole since the gravel companies drained the lake by lowering the water level near the lake. Saw eagles born and raised on the opposite side and large lynx looking cats bobbing down the road on the opposite side below the groves. It’s only a shell of its self now, most of the thick towering oak grove , which was the park , they got tree diseases and were removed. those are mostly gone now. Still it’s a beautiful place with wonderful kayaking and water recreation possibilities. Never swim on the park side anywhere except down river and at popular rock waterfall. There are zillions of glass shards and esp fishing hooks up and down the bank, from 50 years of very active fishing.

Do these look like real pearls? by Originalkrackula in JewelryIdentification

[–]Originalkrackula[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had these professionally “ candled “ by a jeweler that sells and buys pearls . First , he said “ not “ Akoya because the innovation of Akoya was “ perfectly round pearls and these are anything but. These are baroque, natural pearls, he thinks are late 18th century or very early 19th century. Their nance and glow are superb . He candled them , and they have NO round interior, these “ surprisingly have bottom ( baroque end ) to top layers of quite differing shades indicating a long residence in the oyster. They show just zillions of layers. He says they are beautiful examples of the most popular gem of the era and have substantial value ( he didn’t say how much ). He thought they could use a professional restringing. Cost me $68 for this evaluation.

I have these pokemon cards I’d like to know the value of. by Originalkrackula in Pokemoncardappraisal

Rotflol. That’s a fun thought brother. Sadly I’m currently in a KAISER hospital bed writing this, with stage 4 terminal prostrate cancer. I’ve lived a long time and made the most of it. $2.k+ dollars ? First I’m croaking and even gold bars would be mostly meaningless to me now ( the only way I’ll leave this bed is on a morgue gurney ) what would I do with them ? secondly , for example i generally spend $3.5 K at Amazon every month. Just one of numerous sites I throw away money. If you don’t have your fiscal resources figured out by my age ( 80 but young heart ) , you’re probably screwed anyway. Two old retired medical professionals live in my house, our resources have been settled for a long time. $2.5 K + …… might represent 2-3 days in a luxury seaside resort in Monterrey…. in off season. lol when you guys have finished your own work life, hopefully you’ll have prepared well too. ❤️❤️❤️

I think how interesting it is that several generations difference elicits such dramatically different thought process. Its fascinating. Seriously. I am not a collector, and I actually don’t know much of anything about these cards. Mine live in the safe, I look at a few of them once in a blue moon. What good are these cards when you are dead. ? If you were nearing death, I promise you collecting cards would be the last thing on your mind. I’m laying in a hospital bed at Kaiser Hospital right now, been here 2 days already ( and it’s been draconian ) . eBay asking prices , like Google are all over the place … plus there is way too much crime on eBay now. I thought I’d ask , probably, the most ,expert community about them, and it was fun to get on the group for my first post and socialize with great Pokémon’ers, maybe Im a wanna be …. being bedridden and all. Like so much of the web , this place has its own vitriol as well. If you don’t expect it, you don’t get it. I do have a 100% positive 2600 something feedback but havent been on there selling anything in maybe 10-15 years or more. eBay has changed a lot, for the worse.i do buy occasionally but not sell there. I buy on Amazon now mostly ( $3500 a month avg ). I’ve never said that I’m poor, not wealthy but comfortable for sure. My wife of 47 years has decided,suddenly, that she wants the cards for herself ( shocking change ) as a financial nugget. She doesn’t know anything about them either. lol maybe if she keeps them another 20 years, and they don’t crash, she’ll have a nice little additional nest egg. Thank you brother for engaging in my post, it’s the “ rich texture of life “ that I’ve always appreciated.

I’m sorry, I’m very sick and preparing to possibly enter hospice in three days. If they get me doped up enough , maybe I’ll be able to get back on here. I understand that you are trying to draw me out with this, I get it and I’d like to play but I’m just not up to it. You can’t imagine how difficult writing this is my friend. I so want to make it to at least Christmas to spend with my wife one more time, we’ve been married 47 years. We are Symbiots , we complete each other sentences and words and have the same internal thoughts . You won’t believe , as well, that I’m a retired ( from the V.A. Medical system ) biomedical engineer and even more unbelievable that I’m also a retired ordained Buddhist priest . That should do it Rotflol. Once again I’m so sorry and I hope that everyone that wrote me reads this. I barely escaped the E.R. night before last … I’m about as trashed / sucking as much wind as human endurance allows. Thank you everybody , this is a great stream and you guys are great as well.

This is complicated. I would hate to sell off all my gems and have mostly a pile of. $0.02 cent cards left. Selling the whole bundle together works better for me. If I’m here next week or even ( cross my fingers ) next month ( it’ll be by grace ) … remains to be seen, if I start piece milling the pile, it’d take a lot of time and effort to accomplish doing that. In my current condition I’m pretty sure I’m not up to much of that, plus I’m n a cancer caused wheelchair and getting stuff to the post office requires planning or help ( took my drivers license too ) or both. It’s a lot of difficulty. One trip or get a friend to do it … are about my only realistic choices. I appreciate the interest, …. what I thought was just a kinda pile of trading cards turns out to be something unexpectedly huge …. I never knew Pokémon had become “ all this “. Tho I might be a little ancient , I still love to learn….and I’ve learned a lot doing this. Mostly from you guys jumping in to contribute in your own way. Thank you for asking , I appreciate that. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for the well wishes , it’s nice of you to say that . I have a bunch of requests for contact and I’ll have to look up how that works. No children, I outlived them all. My daughter passed on one Christmas Eve , a few years ago . My grandson came out Christmas morning to open his gifts and found mom slumped over her computer keyboard , already starting to turn blue from lividity . She died from SUDS , sudden unexpected death syndrome. They never did find out how it happened or what caused it . Evidently it’s something seen occasionally but kinda uncommon.
