at 50 miles you are looking at a HAM radio or something else you need a license to operate. I have one of the most powerful walkie talkies you can operate without a license and I think the max distance is 5 miles on it (25 miles line of sight apparently). I use https://rockytalkie.com.

3-5 miles average, plus the atmospheric skip and AM noise that makes that band unusable at times.

If the SHTF and the cellular network goes offline in a region, any unlicensed frequencies like CB and FRS are going to turn into unusable sh*t shows with millions of people congregating on the two dozen or so available frequencies. Ditto for licensed GMRS, MURS, etc.

Ham radio operators live for the day that the cellular system collapses, and most counties have active ARES or RACES groups with hams providing and drilling for emergency communications to coordinate disaster recovery. Plus, the National Weather Service uses hams for storm-spotting via SKYWARN. If you want to communicate during a disaster, get your ham license...and drag your friends/family along to get theirs at the same time.....

I brought my new Husqvana chainsaw up north to the cabin this last vacation. But I messed up putting the bar & chain on, not cocking the chain lock properly before taking the cover off. So I had to take it to the local Husqvarna dealer, two towns over.
I pulled up to the little hardware store in my red BMW, with Onslow hanging out the window, wearing a tye-dye shirt, and entered the store wearing a face mask.
Turns out this hardware store had nothing much besides a bunch of saws, and lots of right wing pics and sayings of the type I can't quote here. And two guys who looked like badly groomed ZZ-Toppers behind a counter.
I explained my problem, and one says, "Well you bought this on the internet, didn't you?"
I defensively said, "No! I bought it from a nursery in Brooklyn...."
"Brooklyn! I didn't know they had trees in Brooklyn!"
The other guy, "Yea, I hear they have one."
"If you bought it here we would have put it together for you & showed you how to work it."
I countered, "I had to transport it in my car so told them to give me just the box....."

They charged me $15.; I gave them $20. because they humored me.

Thank you. It's my midlife crisis blue. Every car I have had since 1992 has been black or some shade of grey. I ordered Long Beach Blue last time and chickened out before production started.

Congrats! That's one nice mid-life crisis mobile, and thank you for being one of the rare people in the world to buy this car in an actual beautiful color other than the usual dreary black, white, gray, etc.

Congratulations!

May I suggest translating that into German (Blaue Bestie) or French (Bête Bleue) to make it sound more European and menacing?????
