    Your video edits are fine. I can't speak for persnickety people but I can say you're editing and starring in my favorite Internet channel and the edits have never bothered me once. Your story is too inspiring to get caught up in edits that aren't frugal. Keep it up. 😃👍 You're awesome😎

There will be another round then they'll reset and another round it runs until dec 15th i believe. I think I'll make a blog post with all the details to help everyone better understand.

    Hey! I believe there is about 400-600ms of delay added to a satellite call, you may want to test making a call over Starlink by using something like google voice which allows free calls. I found the delay to be acceptable but noticeable, I have not tested it with Starlink though.

But I will be going back out one day to get a surveyor to find it.,Your videos are great! Especially since I might one day homestead there ( in Arizona) I don’t think I will do all that this young man has done , but I’m sure learning how to get started. You’re amazing!

    Just fyi,I switched to 100% wifi calling a few years ago and it really does do everything you need it to do. Except one thing. Mobile phones are used for ID verification these days, whether people realize it or not.
    So a wifi number will NOT be able to be used for banking, correspondence with the state or IRS, etc. It can also not be used to do simple things like verifying your ID to log into your email. I got locked out of my google account permanently after switching to wifi only. I had that account for over 10 years, and it wasn't a free account. I had been paying for it for years, and they still wouldn't let me in. You'll still need a phone with a SIM card in order to do things that require ID verification. I know that's stupid geeky stuff, just a heads up.
