There's the Islamic calendar, which uses the lunar cycle instead of solar one. The Javanese also uses lunar calendar, but with different formula for dating.

I know there's the Chinese calendar, which is based on lunarsolar cycle. Are they the same?

Which exactly proved my point. You can make your gun at home.

If you see one getting caught, imagine how many at large.

Wow, you really hit the spot right here!

Wouldn't that be nice?

But the truth would be: someone will find a way to make guns on their own, then the rest of us would be defenseless against that.

This is the reason why militaries have nuclear weapons despite wanting peace.

This is my two cents as someone in the industry.

Because, while you don't want to nitpick on each instruction cycle, sometimes the code runs millions of times and each microsecond adds up.

Keep in mind that people use this kind of things for work, serving real world customers who are doing their work.

Yes, the language itself is not optimal even by design, but its easy to work with, so they are making it worth a while. There's no shortage of people who can work with it. It is easy to develop and maintain stuff with it, cutting development cost. Yes, we're talking real businesses with real resource constraints.

Where is BNC, and why is uFL here?

 

I'm from a less fortunate country, looking to move to EU (or Aussie).

Been looking around and all the job posts I see requires that I'd already been living in their city. This is not feasible for me as I'd need visa, which would need company sponsorship.

Any advice?

Baofeng GT-3TP, anyone? (self.amateur_radio)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by pastermil to c/amateur_radio
 

Any love for cheap chinese radio here? Yes, I know the Japanese ones are superior, but I just wanna play around here (and I'm on budget).

I just got a UV-5R and was thinking to get another one. It would be great to have multiple batteries handy for different HTs. Plus, the UV-5R model have battery case for AA and AAA batteries that might come handy for emergencies.

I could just get another UV-5R or a BF-F8HP (upgraded UV-5R), but I was looking at the GT-3TP, which is said to basically have the BF-F8HP guts in a weatherproof enclosure. When I looked at the battery model for it, it says BL-5, the same one as for the UV-5R. However, the battery looks a bit different (albeit very similar), and some have said they're incompatible.

Anyone here can shed some light?
