Not bad for a translation of the English original into Spanish and back to English again…

Err NATO-Restricted isn’t one of the highest security ratings. It’s one that’s sorta kinda a problem if it gets released rather than a “omg oh noes I am so dead if the leak gets traced to me” type problem.

It’s also actually a caveated protective marking. The NATO bit tells you that only NATO eyes can see the materiel which itself is marked Restricted.

The trouble is there are at least 3 classification schemes that I know of and in one Restricted is used to describe materiel that is called Confidential (or is it Secret? It’s been a while) in another.

Dude, get your B12 levels checked. Was feeling old and tired, so I went to drs for something else, he ran bloods just to make sure. Came back ok except B12 deficient. Now I get a B12 jab every 12 weeks and top up with high dose B12 pills every day after 4 weeks. Tiredness gone, cold feet at night gone, visual migraines gone grumpy old git moods gone. Oh and fucking around in a good way is way more on the cards!

There was no mold - the crack wasn’t there long and there was a relatively thick adhesive bed which stopped the water getting to the cement board.

Had a crack like that… The wife said “it’s only a 5 minute job”

Sadly the (correct stuff - we rebuilt the bathroom side of the wall when we moved in) wallboard had cracked for some reason so 5 minutes to yank out a tile and stick in a new one turned into a mission - chasing the crack in the wall board, cutting the damaged bits, repairing with new pieces then replacing 4 tiles instead of one.

It hasn’t cracked again so I must have done something right (or the wall has decided to stop moving)

What’s the moral? Do not expect it to be a simple job. If it turns out to be simple, fix it, get a beer and chill. You will probably need to get a bit more involved than just replacing the tile.

Take the cash on an commercial international flight without prior arrangements being made.

Obviously you could fly it around in your own 747 if you wanted to, but border controls invariably get twitchy when comparitively small sums of cash are transported.

Odd thing - many people consider trade with the US of A a risky venture these days… Can’t imagine why.

The T82 extremes are what we use at work… We have 10 of them and, despite being used by generally incompetent users, seem to survive day to day abuse in a high school. We have had them for nearly two years and have no casualties yet. Other schools in the area also use them - with no reported issues.

I know a couple of multi-band, so not specifically pmr, Baofeng users but can’t comment on their ruggedness or longevity other than to say I haven’t heard bad things.

Another popular brand to look at might be Hytera; possibly a bit out of budget for you. We did look at those, instead of cheaper handsets, but price won in the end.

I am a Motorola fan. Used to use their VHF kit back in the day and it took a lot of abuse.

At work we have their averagely rugged yellow things T82 iirc that work out about €35 each

At home, for the goblins, we have a pair of yellow Motos T72 iirc similarly rugged €60 the pair.

Both models have good range and are easy to set up. Work ones do group programming so you program 1 bung the rest on programming mode and transmit the config. Boom. 10 radios programmed identically in less time than manually doing 2.

They are just about as bullet proof as the cars are self driving. Dunno why anyone might think that they would actually be bullet proof, given Musk’s track record…
