Yes! Add &mediaPlaying=true to the url. You might also need to allow audio autoplaying for the website first in the non-kiosk version or launch the browser allowing it.
I have heard good things about the Quansheng UV-K5/8/99. Primarily because there is a hack firmware available.
If you want a "good" HT as an introduction to the hobby, then the Yaesu FT-65R or older FT-60R are both good.
A "do everything" (analog) radio might be the Yaesu VX-6R, which I previously owned. It excels on reception, and is a "tri-band" radio, but the extra band was not useful in my experience.
I was once standing outside a night club in Brooklyn, next to a construction site, when a rat came charging around the corner being chased by a cat. The rat smacked straight into my ankle and bounced off, briefly stunned. The cat also froze, trying to take in the situation. A split second later they charged down the sidewalk into the gloom.
The rat was so big my ankle hurt the rest of the night.
When my wife lived in NYC she was walking home one night when there were an unusually large number of rats running around. She noticed that Fred Armisen (actor, comedian) was walking down the middle of the street next to her, and he looked at her and said something to the effect of "What's with all these rats?!".
He recently did a show in my city. Before the show he visited the art museum where my wife works as a curator. He spent a good amount of time chatting with the staff, and then mentioned how nice the museum was during his show that night.
Completely unrelated, but it was fairly recent and I found it super charming. He’s always been one of those celebrities I want to like.
I don't think I ever saw a rat on my dozen plus trips to NYC, but since moving here several years ago I have seen more than I can count. Many of those were in 2020 when I would see large groups (5-10) roaming around at night in search of dwindling food sources.
Who is responsible for picking up a dead rat in NYC? The biggest rat I ever saw was a dead one on William St and as an alien I wasn’t really sure what the protocol was. No one else around paid any attention to it.
That would be DHMH[1] or Sanitation, maybe. You may be able to put a report in via 311, but I wouldn't count on a timely response (unless you count "a bigger rat eats the already big rat" as a response).
The converse is also true, and applies to both guitar and drums. Being able to play quietly, with intensity and energy, is one of the hallmarks of a better player. "Good player but plays too loud" is a euphemism for "bad player."
And we had a M4.2 one there about twenty years ago when I was living there.
