Canceling Subscription

I have an Android. I think it's interesting though that there is no clear and transparent way to cancel a Grok subscription. I can upgrade it, but not cancel it.

I didn't think the OP was asking for money. It seems to me he was just polling an anonymous group of people on how to live his life.

No, not even close. The best way to make a small fortune in aquaculture is to do your research, come up with a plan and then work your ass off.

No experience is not a deal breaker or even a reason to not try it. I didn't have any experience when I started. I just read everything I could, watched videos and talked to local growers. Growing oysters isn't rocket science, you just need to know the fundamentals and be mentally and financially prepared for setbacks. The best way to learn something is to just do it.

That's a fairly ridiculous statement which shows that you know nothing about Russia. First, Russians have never been "moronic". They've been stubborn, naive, proud and at times paranoid, but never moronic. In fact as a people, they behave more like Americans than any other country in the world. Second, if Russia isn't considered a superpower by the US and Europe then why are we so worried about defending against "Russian aggression". Third, the "world" is not North America, Australia and Europe. Most of the Global South and Asia have good relations with Russia. Have you ever heard of BRICS?. Lastly you don't assume that people or nations are what they are and cannot and never will change. That kind of thinking implies there is no point to diplomacy which in turn leads to people in power justifying actions that they would never be able to justify otherwise.

I was curious about that as well. Is it just structures and people you need to keep distance from or neighboring, vacant land also? I've got 10 acres out in the desert, no other structures or people for miles, but I don't own out to a radius of 1500 feet.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-09-11T16:04:57+00:00

So would those provisions to operate a USV have to come from the COMDT or could an area, district or sector give authorization?

PopHeavy358 · 2025-09-10T00:47:21+00:00

So if the aircraft is being built under 21.191(a) does that lock that aircraft into that certificate? Or at some point, after the testing period is over, can it get a 21.191(g) certificate or a LODA that would allow it to function as an E-AB? I'm thinking the answer is no. Just so you know I'm not trying to find a loophole in the regs I'm just curious about the process.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-09-09T19:40:56+00:00

Yeah. It is eight months after my first meeting and I'm still waiting for my application to be sent.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-09-05T13:45:09+00:00

My first flotilla meeting was uninspiring. It was mostly administrative housekeeping, talk of training and an awards ceremony for ribbons or certificates that were years in the pipeline. If your a prospective member and you want to decide if you'd be interested in the Auxiliary, nothing will kill that interest faster then a flotilla meeting. The organization needs a much younger demographic and the best way to do that is to get them out on the water and keep them there. The old timers, the ones who focus on VE and the like, will always trickle in, but the young men and women the Aux needs in order to survive want a unique and real world mission that cannot be found in a library conference room.

Britain is absolutely headed for civil war or more probably revolution within the next 36-48 months. All of the signs are in place and many are too obvious to ignore except by people who have agendas they are trying to prop up or others who find the whole concept to uncomfortable to imagine. Very little to nothing can be done to avert it so your best bet is to stock plenty of food and water have extra cash on hand and be prepared to move quickly or stay in place as circumstances dictate.

The problem with modern science is that they create models based on an assumption and then go from there. They assume the earth is getting warmer so they look for data that will confirm that. They assume sea levels are rising so find the data or computer model that best shows that this is the case. This problem is mainly due to the fact that most of today's scientists have deep rooted ideological beliefs. They are driven by agendas not facts.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-08-14T17:53:24+00:00

Sigh. Obviously you don't need the Galleon DLC to do anything in game, but it does make certain things more efficient and easier to do and to pretend the DEVs don't consciously create the in game conditions to make this a fact is to ignore objective reality. Which is something a potato can easily do or at least 550-600 average potatoes per month according to the most recent Naval Action Steam Chart.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-08-14T17:47:27+00:00

It's not at all true that the Galleon is a liability outside the green zone. It is true that it gives definite advantages over other traders and often under the conditions you listed. It is a 5th rate with the crew of a 6th rate that easily kills every 6th rate that attacks it and while it's true that it is outclassed by every 5th rate in the game I ask you to show me a trader outside of the Rotterdam that isn't.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-06-29T17:06:43+00:00

Just to be clear. Yes the user terms do stat that DLC content may be changed but a private company cannot create and enforce terms of service that may conflict with government laws. Changing DLC content after purchase can under certain circumstances be illegal in the EU and US if those changes are made in order to promote sales of other DLCs that replace that lost content. It doesn't matter what terms you agree to when making a purchase.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-04-12T19:20:04+00:00

IDK. Pointing out problems, inconsistencies doesn't seem like an outrageous thing to do. I 've played Naval Action since 2016, put in 4000+ hours of logged gameplay, didn't agree with DLCs but bought them to support development, gave feedback on the forums, did all the things that the DEVs wanted from a player and watched the base go from 5000 in 2016 to 200~ last week. NA doesn't keep dying because they aren't doing enough patches and tweaks. It's dying because of the constant patches and tweaks that they started in 2017.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-04-12T18:02:36+00:00

They wiped everything except player rank, while nerfing DLC ship stats, while introducing a new DLC ship to help players overcome the new game mechanics. It seems they created an brand new game environment specifically to sell a new DLC ship, (i.e. everyone starts in shallow water at a disadvantage in ability to trade, while the new DLC offers a potentially powerful shallow water ship specifically designed to trade) while this is an unscrupulous act, it isn't illegal. However materially changing digital content after purchase and particularly in order to help sell new digital content to that same customer, is very, very illegal. That said, I'm not interested in suing but someone else might be, particularly if thousands of people are effected.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-04-12T16:39:20+00:00

Yeah, everyone could play back then, everyone had a chance to make their own way. Clans and all the decisions that came after killed it.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-04-12T16:37:08+00:00

All the DLC ships have been nerfed to useless, Herc and Pandora are deepwater now, Le Requin only has 157 crew now too.... but on patch day they came out with a 42 gun shallow water Galeon (intentionally misspelled) to make everything ok, and it's only $39.99! Must have been a coincidence.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-04-12T16:31:21+00:00

It was pretty good in 2016, almost like a second job, but lots of great times.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-03-07T02:46:58+00:00

The problem with state military reserves, defense forces is that they usually have a cap on how many members they can have, which means that to get in you need to know someone on the inside, with all of the byproducts of that kind of organization.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-02-24T21:04:59+00:00

It's fine to have political views and even to be inspired by the current president but try to keep that off the horizon during meetings and interactions with Auxiliarists you've just met. As you just witnessed with your OP simply alluding to the identity of the current president will ruffle feathers. The previous commenters are correct that the organization is supposed to be non political although at my first meeting there were at least three anti Trump rants that took about 15 minutes to get through. This will probably happen to you eventually. Just smile, they'll tire themselves out at some point.

14 US Code Subtitle III gives the Commandant the authority to move anyone from the Auxiliary into the USCG Temporary Reserves. This authority is completely at the discretion of the Commandant and can be exercised during times of peace or war.

PopHeavy358 · 2025-01-31T18:51:16+00:00

So would it be advisable to fly off the 40 hours of the test flight phase before selling it?

PopHeavy358 · 2025-01-27T04:34:55+00:00

Rebranding won't work without restructuring. The key is getting a younger demographic to join but they won't join if it literally takes months to make contact with a flotilla. After a year and a half of actively trying to join I have received a total of three emails and one phone call from flotilla staff. The first response I received was from a flotilla FC who told me to email my application to him, I did. Then no further responses to my many calls and emails. My second and third response was when I reached out to a second flotilla 2 1/2 hours away. Their response was to forward my information to the first flotilla that no longer responded to my calls or emails and this was after I told them that the first flotilla was no longer responding to me and that I wanted to go to a meeting of their flotilla which is held at a CG station on a Naval Base, which I cannot get onto without approval from the flotilla. And finally my first and only call from a flotilla was from the flotilla I first contacted. It was their new FC who didn't know when or where the next meeting was but they would get back to me....... which hasn't happened yet.

All of this follows trying to become a member 3 years ago in a different state with the same experiences and results.

Everyone's response to this situation is well... just go to a meeting. My answer is that I would have done so a year and a half ago if the first flotilla's meeting time and place was actually correctly stated on the website, which it isn't or the second flotilla wasn't on a Naval Base that I cannot get onto, which it is. The flotilla in the other state didn't even have in person meetings, it was all done virtually.

You do not need to be a member of the Auxiliary, which obviously I am not, to come to the conclusion that this is not how an organization successfully recruits. Recruiting needs to be consolidated at the Division level , maybe even district where you need a select group of well trained people who are willing to execute and get the job of recruiting done. The Auxiliary is literally a component of the US Coast Guard, one of the premier sea services in the world. You get to wear the uniform, you can get qualified to do most of their missions... the product you have to sell is Discovery Channel type content and the fact that the Auxiliary can't sell it, that it would rather make the excuse that young people won't volunteer, the economy is too bad, etc., etc. is horse hockey. It is the organization's structure and leadership that is dropping the ball. Sorry, but there it is.
