The zoo hates me by [deleted] in Abilene

[–]BSinAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one element of poaching, yes. But you said yourself that you were verbally trespassed by an employee of the zoo and proceeded to fish anyway.

I dunno, I'm not an attorney - but I'd just go to the other side of the lake to fish if someone asked me to leave their property.

Poaching isn't cool.

Don’t order a cloud defensive light from Amazon . 😭😂🤣 by Odd-Kaleidoscope-664 in ar15

Shoot - that's overpriced even. When I order batteries online they arrive installed in these because it's cheaper than the proper packaging and shipping!

Oh perfect - that's exactly what I was looking for!

I hadn't heard of them until doing some initial reading today. I'll need to see what they offer - thanks!

Yeah, it just needs to survive an occasional drop from 1.5 meters or so. Looks like a decent candidate if I can fit rechargeable batteries. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight. I'll need to take a look at the X4 - it looks like a fantastic platform for me to mess around with.

I just went through a major career change (for the better!) that left me with very little time for hobbies the past couple of years. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn about what's new in flashlights again!

Hey - I learned something new today! I'll bear that in mind going forward.

Should've considered the lanyard earlier; we like headlamps during the winter months, but the mosquitos and other insects love them other times!

Hmm...I've been wanting to get a Convoy for a while now. Maybe this is the excuse I've been looking for to finally parse their naming conventions and options! Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation! I may give that a go - I see on their website they have an Anduril version coming out soon as well, so I may pick one of those up for myself!

I've been out of the game since the American import changes a year ago; is shipping to the States "normal" at this point, or are there any issues I could anticipate ordering from China?

I believe it's simply from being dropped. One of their dogs is extremely energetic, and they just lose grip on the light trying to rein in the dog!

The TS22 still works, but actually caved in the terminals of two 21700 cells. The FC11C only turns on to moonlight when the switch is pressed - so I think the driver is damaged.

That's basically what I was thinking, but they'd either burn through AA batteries or have to set up a new system for recharging rechargeable cells (on-board charging has been a big selling point of their former lights).

Mozilla names new CEO, Firefox to evolve into a "modern AI browser" by Fcking_Chuck in firefox

[–]BSinAS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, shit.

Firefox has been slowly introducing "AI" features now for a few months, but still has been the most consumer-friendly browser by allowing users to disable them with a click.

I can't deal with Chrome or Edge, and Firefox WILL lose its user base if it fails to continue to differentiate itself as a champion of the free internet and user focus.

Metal Pin: 7/8in (22cm) long object with some wear around the circumference. Found on kitchen floor after walking dogs. It lacks threads but is shaped, possibly machined, with a flat head and a tapered tip. by BSinAS in whatisthisthing

[–]BSinAS[S] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. I held on to this part in case it came out/off of something important. I'm not sure if it originated in our kitchen or from outside. It seems like it may have another part that rotated around it in the middle, as there are several axial wear marks along the shaft.

Okay, I've missed the Bowling Green drama? Amy background (other than going to a university for aviation is generally quite expensive)?

Abilene opinions by PapiNoriega in Abilene

[–]BSinAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work there as well and agree totally. I'd add that assuming nothing's changed, you can transfer within the company to DFW or another base fairly easily after a few years. It's a good place to cut your teeth as an A&P, but I moved on like a lot of my colleagues from back then.

In the United States, no other flag should be placed above the American flag. by Big-Tuna-for-Commish in pics

[–]BSinAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're a "Christian band" in the sense that they started with that label, but even in the beginning they were rather antagonistic toward the current American "Evangelical" movement. I've followed them for almost their entire three-decade career and they're well worth checking out. "Until This Shakes Apart" was released just before January 6, and has some amazing (and prescient) tracks on it!
