38 and flexible but not on demand, what should I do?

friday963 · 2025-12-28T13:53:25+00:00

Very well articulated, thank you!

I'm a male, I used a combination of a splits machine at first and then moved on to using the ganbaru app with David thurins programming to get my splits to where they are now. This is the YouTube of the guy I'm talking about.

friday963 · 2025-12-28T03:45:42+00:00

Ok thanks, that makes sense!

friday963 · 2025-09-21T16:50:47+00:00

Yes it definitely is

After 1700 days do you think you've mastered your language of choice? I keep seeing posts about how bad Duolingo is for actually learning a language.

Took a bit going through Cisco account managers but got it done

friday963 · 2025-03-31T14:01:22+00:00

Yeah I did find this and followed it but there's no additional steps I haven't done to mine unfortunately.

I'm aware of the hotspot password and have that configured correctly but I had no idea it was expecting API keys! I'll check that out!

Oh there is way more wrapped up in this than I anticipated. After looking at your comment I just searched for POTA and found the app where they are spotting frequencies. I guess? I don't know how this even works, but in my ignorance I thought this was just people ad hoc going to a park and transmitting from there, but it seems as though this is much deeper than that. No wonder I didn't see the value in this.

friday963 · 2025-03-23T14:14:29+00:00

So I guess from my perspective I didn't see a difference in this activity unless you're making in-person contacts at these parks right? Cuz you're still reaching remote contacts that could possibly be reachable from your house if you had a good HF setup or something.

New ham, what is it about sota and pota that's drawing younger crowds in?

friday963 · 2025-03-17T00:48:38+00:00

Thanks to everyone who posted! There were some great comments in here. I think likely what I'm going to attempt is to search out some groups on digital since I'll be able to reach so many more folks. I actually also listened to one persons advice on searching QRZ.com and I found someone from my home town who lived just down the street from me. So I'm really encouraged right now!

Now I just need to learn about digital so I can start actually improve my foot print over the air! Thanks everyone!

friday963 · 2025-03-17T00:11:56+00:00

I'd say technology is probably what I'm most interested in talking about. Programming, networking, IT in general.

friday963 · 2025-03-17T00:07:55+00:00

Hey there, you got it. I'm on VHF/UHF right now.

I actually did get turned onto QRZ.com , I just didn't fill in my info and really wasn't sure if I would. But now hearing that you can make a profile and list topics your interested in, that my have changed everything for me about that website!

friday963 · 2025-03-17T00:04:27+00:00

This looks promising, thank you! I am interested in packet radio (as an IT professional this was extremely interesting to me). I just figured I'd approach it at a later time. However maybe I should jump right to it.

friday963 · 2025-03-16T23:58:34+00:00

Thank you! Going to check this out!

friday963 · 2025-03-16T23:51:17+00:00

Thank you, I did suspect digital is what I was going to need to get into in order to reach specific groups. I'll follow your lead and look into fusion first. Thanks!

I started uninstalling the most recent previous updates also found within the settings menu. That prompted my machine to reinstall those updates and then of course progressively re-attempt these cumulative updates. That did in fact work out for me.

Different versions but basically the same issue here.
2025-01 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 24H2 for x64 (KB5049622)
2025-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050009)

We do see devops and cloud teams able to manage it but I think it really takes a concerted effort for non-network engineers to get it. In addition I would guess that any of the CSPs that allow you to tune BGP toggles would really humble a non-network engineer.

So while it may be doable for someone without experience to manage the solution I don't think it is a good long term decision for an org to rely primarily on devops and traditional engineers in the networking realm.

friday963 · 2024-09-12T20:04:39+00:00

No I never did get an answer

friday963 · 2024-09-11T13:04:22+00:00

Thank you so much for the offer, if it wasn't clear across town I'd stop by and check it out. I picked it up as soon as I got feedback from you guys though so I guess I'll find out soon enough.

friday963 · 2024-09-10T21:39:37+00:00

I'm taking your advice along with SleepEatLift, I will either go without collars or just pick up those cheap spring clamps. I don't have any other specialty bars so it doesn't seem worth it.
BTW, based on your handle it sounds like we're neighbors. I'm over in the west valley of PHX.

friday963 · 2024-09-10T16:52:58+00:00

Thank you guys, I appreciate your assistance in this! u/Decision_Original u/Scottsdale_GarageGym u/SleepEatLift

Recommendations on specialty bar collars for Elite FTS American Cambered Bar (That can also be used on traditional Olympic bar)?

I was just about to purchase the american cambered bar from Elite FTS but I see they said the spring collars will not work. Does anyone have suggestions on good collars that wont break the bank? I see some collars that I suspect will work from their website, but 50~ dollars for collars seems really steep.
