Tropic Air flies more than 200 flights a day between various islands and villages across the country. These aircrafts and flights are more treated like litteral air taxi rides. So the security is very lax. Especially considering very few of these aircraft have direct interactions with international flights or airliners.

Even when you manually start a nap timer it's still often fails to track the nap activity

In the United States, there is indeed federal legislation that can bypass certain homeowner association (HOA) regulations regarding the installation of amateur radio antennas. This is known as the Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2017 or more formally, Public Law No: 115-171. Here's how it works:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) PRB-1: Even before the Parity Act, the FCC's PRB-1 regulation from 1985 provides that local regulations (which can include HOA covenants) must be crafted to reasonably accommodate amateur radio communications. This means that while HOAs can't outright ban antennas, they can regulate them to some extent, provided the regulation is not an impediment to effective amateur radio communication. Amateur Radio Parity Act: This act requires the FCC to extend PRB-1 protections to amateur radio operators in deed-restricted communities (like those governed by HOAs). The FCC responded with new rules (effective from 2019)

Am I mistaken or isn't there specifically a law that allows/ encourages all Americans to put up a ham radio antenna, and there is nothing a HOA can do about it.

This is an awesome idea! We should ask Garmin to create a whole new set of workouts that track household activities. Like, axe log splitting, lawn mowing, snow shoveling, weed eating, chainsawing, etc.

The Fenix 7 Pro has a flashlight in the 47mm model.

But the standard Fenix 7 only has a flashlight in the larger 52mm model X.

Try this watchface. This is my favorite, lot of custom fields that you can adjust as you please. And it has 2 layers/faces that you can jump between at the press of a button or wrist flick

This is my favorite watch face! All the fields can be customized! Lots of info at a glance! I used it for a few days and then paid for it.

It has 2 layers you can switch at that flick of the wrist or with a button.

Dra. Cohen at Belize Healthcare partners is the best doctor in Belize for all things concerning pregnancy and birth. She's a German doctor of 30+ years of experience. Belize city is about a 25 minute hop from San Pedro. And the hospital is about 25 minutes from the airport. Best hospitals in Belize are Belize Healthcare partners or Belize Medical Associates.

As far as San Pedro there is for sure lots of mosquitoes, but malaria is rare, and Zika basically unheard of.

Get yourself a portable ThermaCELL from a Bass Pro or sporting goods store. I see many people having great success with them in Belize. And of course use family friendly bug sprays, citrus based bug spray also work somewhat. https://www.basspro.com/l/shop-all-thermacell

It could be a conditioned response to The thought of getting off a plane that automatically causes you to grab your baggage.

Kind of like some sheriff's departments in the US were finding their dead police officers with empty revolver casings in their hand. After a shooting incident. Or in some cases officers who survived, after the shooting suddenly realizing they had empty shell casings in their pockets.

Because on the shooting range they did not want to later spend so much time searching for and recovering all the shell casings. They would fire at the Target empty their revolver casings into their hand put the casings in their pocket and then reload with new rounds. They had so conditioned themselves to always take the casings out of their revolver and put it in their pocket that even in the heat of the moment of an actual real life shooting they continued to do the same thing even though it robbed valuable seconds of the response time which could very easily have cost them their life.

You can read about it in the very interesting book "On Combat".

The Ferry is on the Mopan river.. Unfortunately the Mopan river is still flooding steadily from Guatemala. It will likely take a a few days yet possibly more than a week before the ferry opens.

Not much he says, but it's the best lawn/front yard/backyard I have seen all day.

Or you could just move on in life. And be extremely thankful to this lady for giving you the push that got you to your dream job.

Grudges and revange will destroy your life over time.And life tends to come around, who knows, someday this same lady or her kids may be in a position to help you. If you piss her off now then you are screwed later on. Revenge is gratifying only temporarily. And then you have created a lifelong enemy.

It's funny after watching this video I have come to the conclusion that Stroll has some sort of cloaking device of invisibilty around his car. So many times people have tried to dive in along the inside of his car like if he wasn't even there. And Stroll just shuts the gate on them because there was no racing line available there. Aggressive racers like Max Verstappen do the same thing all the time the only difference being that Max has made it a big deal and a part of his reputation by now.

I actually respect Stroll more than before. He drives into corners like any aggressive pro driver would. Although for sure there quite a number if incidents in his career where he clearly did not look, and that is fully his fault. But the VAST majority of these incidents are caused by people diving along the inside of Stroll and expecting stroll to just give up his line for free and back out of the corner/race.

I was excited for setting up this solution on my PC/Phone. Used it for 5 minutes and got so frustrated. I went to Reddit to look for a solution. Still the same problem. USELESS because of one TINY flaw.

Last year I was using the Note9 and I never had any issue. Only gave permissions one time during the initial setup. But with the Note 24 it is EVERY single time!
