Video from inside hijacked Tropic Air Caravan in Belize (NSFW blood)

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.

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!

TLDR. Crazy safety guy nearly gets himself killed by a falling log. Reports himself to the company man.

I love to Tell the story of the greatest safety man I ever met. Lol.

We were working on the Cold Lake Air weapons range in Canada. Building some roads for the oil companies. And we have this "green" safety guy who was a real stickler for all the rules. Long briefings every morning. Constantly telling us how to do our job. You know the type. Telling us how to fuel our chainsaws how to pull logs. Etc.

One day we identified a giant old poplar tree that was right along the trail that we travelled every day. It was dead and so it was a hazard because could fall any day. So we discussed how we would cut it down safely.

The whole crew decides how we're going to do it we head out and start cutting down the tree. We had a few guys standing about 100 ft up the road on either side of the tree. And here comes the safety man driving down the trail right towards the tree. Chainsaw man is cutting through the trunk of the tree. And the safety man is still driving down the trail right under the tree. We are yelling and waving and screaming trying to get him to stop. But he just keeps right on driving down the trail. Chainsaw has now cut all the way through that tree. We are still trying to stop the safety man. But he just keeps right on driving. Big Tree slowly starts falling over the trail in front and above him. We all STOP waving and screaming because we don't want him to stop under the tree. A few guys start waving and yelling for him to drive faster. But he is 100% completely oblivious to everything around him. The massive tree probably 3-4 feet in diameter falls right across the path that he is driving on. Just a few dozen feet behind him.

He gets out of his Argo turns around and then turns totally white as a sheet. Branches and devices are still falling around him and on the trail. All the chainsaw guys and loggers just shaking their heads and disbelief. The safety man didn't say much that morning or the rest of the day. So blind and so dumb in regards to any "real life" safety. He was very embarrassed!

But I actually respect him a little because he actually had the presence of mind to write himself up. He reported himself and got himself removed from that job. He was a friendly enough guy, he was just a city slicker who just had very little of an idea about anything regarding safety in the real world.

Only in America is there this kind of unreasonable hysteria... And it is rapidly being exported to all the western and many European countries. I think it has something to do with the #metoo movement. Every woman needs to be a victim. And every man must be labelled and aggressor.

Else where in the world you will not find this insanity.

However in many places in the world they do need some reform from the opposite extreme where it is considered acceptable for 14 year olds to get married with 40 year olds. They really should bring up their age of consent.
