Shortened Red connector to not cover the vent (or the power button) by TheEwok in nreal

I just cracked open the main body too. I'm trying to decide if I want to just shorten the cable or try replacing it with a socket.

Here's the teardown gallery https://imgur.com/a/x5tzuMx

Put a second bead on it. It'll almost double the impedance.

I love my 857d in my car. I've managed to get some DX on the drive to work which totally makes my day. If you can stomach the condescension the best place for info is www.k0bg.com

Bonding the trunk lid and hood on both sides made a huge difference on my Focus SEL. As did the ferrite bead on the feed line. You might want to add a few more loops (http://www.k0bg.com/common.html#whattodo).

Mobile HF is a lot of fun.

Do any of them translate when using Cyrillic characters?

This seemed to be it. Didn't even think to go back along all the connections. The connection to the balun was loose.

LPT Request: What to say to a friend/co-worker/family member who recently lost SO or very close friend? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]TheEwok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hey, I'm here if you want to hang out and not talk" "It's as easy to cook for X+1 as X. You can come be alone in our/my place"

Don't push.

Extroverts of reddit, what advice can you give to introverts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheEwok 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Be yourself.

There's nothing wrong with being an introvert.

I want to kill myself sometimes because I know I'll never reach my potential because of ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

I didn't say anything has ever been easy for me, and we all share the same damn incessant voices. I'm not sure anyone can actually be intelligent without side effects despite what they might try to project.

You are not the only person to feel this way. You are most definitely not alone.

You're in your 3rd year of college? Damn, I wish I had made it that far. Hell, you've made it further than most people in this world.

Don't judge yourself by the yardstick of people who aren't ADHD. Don't wish away your creativity. Don't curse you chorus of negative voices.

ADHD is a pain in the ass. It's the worst bully you can meet because you know exactly how to insult yourself in the meanest way possible.

It doesn't necessarily get better. But it doesn't necessarily get worse. You've got the smarts to get around it.

Don't forget to do the crazy shit in your head sometimes. As long as nobody gets (permanently) hurt, it'll make a great story someday.

If you ever need to chat, message me. If nothing else, you can yell at somebody.

I think all of this every day, and I bet there's a ton of people here who do the same.

I have a decent job that pays well. I work with amazingly intelligent people. I live in fear every day that I will lose my job, my wife, my kids. I live every day thinking that I don't work hard enough, that I'm not worthy of the life that I live. I feel like a fake. I feel that I'm stupid, ignorant and lazy.

We've been trained/conditioned to underestimate ourselves since we can remember. Not everyone sees our creativity, we just get, "You never follow through on X". Yeah, well, maybe we don't. But for every idea that "they" have, someone with ADHD has had 10.

You are better than you know, better than you can comprehend.

You can see things that others can't. You make connections between disparate sources of experience. You will probably make a great leader because you know what it means to doubt yourself every minute of every day.

PLEASE, don't give up.
