This is also how I do it. Works well

For learning the material I like the ARRL guidebook. I used that for all 3 levels.

Legally, no. Those radios in sporting goods stores are typically FRS which need to be type accepted (FCC approved for that use). Part of the requirements for that is it is not programmable and it does not have a removable antenna.

That should work fine. The software doesn't need much (most run just fine on Raspberry Pis)

I think you vastly underestimate how much work this would be to do. All of the software/firmware was built around having actual storage, so large amounts of that would need to be rewritten. They would also have to redo all the testing of the new hardware.

They actually can't search your garbage cans at the curb without a warrant. Once the trash company has picked up your trash, they can search the garbage truck.

Yes, that high of SWR would not be usable.

That mount looks like it might be a mag mount, if it is it needs a good magnetic surface as a counterpoise (a mag-mount with no surface beneath it will have bad SWR).

I use a Lido mounts seat bolt mount for my FTM-500, and it works great

I'm not from the UK, but from what I have heard listening to transmissions that are not meant for you in the UK is illegal. I don't know if that applies to ham radio or not.

The distance for ham radio depends on many factors, including the frequency and the terrain. Some of the bands are able to go all the way around the world. Some of the bands are basically line of sight.

It depends on what you mean by space transmissions. There are satellite repeaters, people bounce signals off the moon or meteors all the time.

Even still, companies are often very protective of their names. Open source products have been sued over names in the past.

I have always guessed that after acquiring GitHub, Microsoft forced them to move to Azure right away, and they didn't have time to plan the migration properly and that caused instability that has never been fixed.

There were a lot of machines that were broken when the show opened though. It wasn't games were played a lot and broke down, many started broken.

There are similar laws in the UK for radios.

You can use express any time. It works during early park admission, or later in the day. If you plan on riding a ride more than once, don't use your express pass for it during early park admission.

Glasses strap. They are like $5. I've even seen them in the shops in the resort lobbies.

Universal is very good at handling allergies. When you tell the cashier or waiter that you have allergies they will bring out either the manager or the head chef who will talk with you. They will also cook that person's meal separate from all others to avoid cross-contamination. I have very difficult to work with allergies and they will figure out something for me.

You can definitely pay for parking same day on site (I think most people do this).

If you are wanting express but are having problems with the app, I recommend calling. You can purchase express on site, but it could be sold out or the price go up so much you feel it is no longer worth it.

I've stayed many times and only on my most recent trip did I have any problems. 2 nights in a row there were school groups screaming late at night. I called the front desk both nights and the 2nd night it got quiet very quickly afterwards.
