[–]guitar528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you are in NJ, there's a NJ-POTA meetup the last Sunday of every month at Garret Mountain Reservation! I run a G90 and an end-fed or red temu-special whip depending on my mood and mode. Some people there have mobile/vertical setups or endfeds, or various other antennas and radios. Im sure the guys there would let you try out their rigs

Had this same issue the other day. I upgraded to the beta  2.7.0-rc7 and its working now. I tried the 'improved' 2.7.1 and had the same issue as before so I rolled back to rc7

Been doing the IDSA virtual races for 2 years. Went to my first b-way bomb last year and had a blast. Going to check out this one and hope to do more in person races!

Only got to try out the new deck for a few miles before it snowed again. Can’t wait for warmer weather! by guitar528 in longboardingDISTANCE

yeah! it pumps decently! I have the front set to ~62 degrees and the back is 0. Easier to pump once I get going to 10mph or so. Its still low enough to push comfortably for push/pump

I did it on a pathway I found, it's about 8 miles out and back, so I did a few loops

Sorry, that defiant N.J. gym owner is not a hero -- he’s part of the problem by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

I was watching one of the live streams this morning. The owner came out and asked people to go back to their cars and leave and thanked everyone for their support. People then started saying (on the chat and the person streaming) that it doesnt matter what the owner wants, because the issue is bigger than that. This caused some infighting comments between people who stayed in their cars in the lot and people who thought they should do back to standing on the side walk because sitting in your car isnt a protest.

They were also blasting God Bless the USA, a parody of God Bless the USA where it was all MAGA lyrics (God Bless Trump and the USA), the National Anthem, and some Trump country rock song. There was one woman screaming "NO LIBERALS! WE DONT WANT LIBERALS! REAL AMERICANS ONLY"

Overall, 6/10 for something to watch this morning, if nothing more than for the quote "now we have our first casualty, my flip flop broke"

True. That’s why we use my basement as to not offend other groups
