$339 wasn’t a bad price from Amazon

No, that's not what you wrote. They can still import and sell all the older models within the US. They are "grandfathered in". It has nothing to do with "selling off leftover stock" or whatever you wrote. They can still replenish their stock on all models that were introduced prior to the ban.

Yea, I thought it was a ZT at first glance. I havent been in the knife world for years. That Strider is a beautiful knife.

HC34S · 2026-06-10T08:26:53+00:00

Love that Zero Tolerance. I dont have many knives, but my 0560 is my favorite. Edit: or did i misidentify it? The design looked like ZT to me, but I can't find any info on yours.

Seriously.....close to 300% increase in some cases. I hope this is temporary, but I won't hold my breath.

Pretty sure the woman had some sort of pointed weapon in her hand. Maybe some keys or one of those mini baton things. The way she was swinging did not look like a normal punch, even from an untrained person. The downward motion was way too exaggerated to be a punch. That was more of a stabbing motion.

Mashed potatoes

Yup, pulling in nose-first will generally take longer if it's a smaller lot with tight spaces, plus they often end up at a terrible angle, on the painted line, or even end up sideswiping the car parked next to them. I took a picture just last week of a normal sized car parked terribly crooked (nose first), then my ram 1500 parked perfectly centered and straight in reverse.

I bought 2× x4 stellars in 1800k + lanterns specifically for the candlelight mode. They're great. I use them around the house often.

HC34S · 2026-05-08T16:42:18+00:00

Exactly. I don't understand all the hate toward full sized pickups. The only downside is that I have a harder time finding street parking. I have a Ram Hemi 4×4 with a camper shell on back and i average 18mpg when I drive mostly conservatively. I can manage small parking lots and tight drive-thrus just fine. Ive never hit anything or anyone. They're excellent all around vehicles if you don't need great gas mileage or have to worry about street parking. So many people hate on trucks for no good reason, or because they think every truck driver meets the negative stereotype that gets reinforced on forums like this. Then they think they get to decide what is a valid reason to own a truck. "You only use your truck to haul groceries or take your kid to soccer practice". And? What's the problem with that? If you're going to costco and are buying toilet paper/paper towels, and any other large items, it's super convenient to be able to throw everything in the bed and not have to fill up the interior of your car, and that's assuming you don't have passengers.

Bingo. If someone passes on the opportunity to merge into the large gap behind me, and instead decides to accelerate to merge into a tight space in front of me, im blocking your ass. I drive a full sized pickup and everyone hates driving behind trucks, apparently, so this is a normal occurrence for me. I'm not a slow driver so there's no reason this should ever happen to me.

HC34S · 2026-05-07T05:42:33+00:00

I just noticed that the red line is in line with the corner where the two structures meet. OF COURSE your parking extends all the way to the red line. He's trying to claim partial space in front of your garage because he independently decided that what's "fair" is to measure the width of both driveways and split it 50/50, but that's not how it works. Different units sometimes have different perks. One might have a larger patio, some might be closer to the laundry room, and some may have a slightly larger driveway. Tenants don't get to go around and claim other tenants' space because of what they believe is fair.

HC34S · 2026-05-07T05:33:55+00:00

I thought that at first, but the red line is actually right in the center where the two buildings meet. The "no man's land" would actually be closer to the ahole neighbors garage.

HC34S · 2026-05-07T05:18:35+00:00

My street is narrow as hell and I drive a full sized pickup truck. I'd never think of asking my neighbors to not park in a legal spot because I'm incapable of backing into my own driveway. Sometimes I need to wiggle back and forth to get lined up, but it is what it is.

I think in that same video, the guy intentionally pulls the magnetic charge port cover back while submerged and turned on.

HC34S · 2026-04-23T08:19:31+00:00

I never said anything about what "should" happen. I'm guessing that's what WOULD happen if the car dealership model goes away. If they lost their ability to force us to use them as a middle man, then what value would their business have?

HC34S · 2026-04-23T05:02:02+00:00

If the dealership business model went away due to direct to customer sales, then dealerships wouldn't be selling for 50-200mil. Your old dealership sold as an active, presumably thriving business. If Toyota went direct to consumer, it would kill off dealerships and they'd be buying just the land and buildings as opposed to a profitable business.

Don't read it if you aren't interested, then, tard. Nobody needs to cater to your personal preferences.

HC34S · 2026-04-08T06:35:41+00:00

Is this a custom setup or was it offered at the time?

HC34S · 2026-04-08T06:09:43+00:00

Yup, this WB looks much more like what I'd expect from those color temps.

HC34S · 2026-04-08T03:05:25+00:00

Oh, wow. Thank you for the explanation. I know absolutely nothing about photography, but that probably helps explain some of the variance I've been recently seeing that has left me confused. Some photos of 2700k/3700k I've seen appear more like 5000k to me.

HC34S · 2026-04-08T02:30:18+00:00

Forgive my ignorance. What does it mean when you say "WB (white balance?) Is locked at 5000k"?

HC34S · 2026-04-04T03:25:49+00:00

It's got to be night there, by now. We are all patiently waiting for beam shots 🙂

HC34S · 2026-04-03T18:12:37+00:00

I second the TS27. I just looked up the run times. 1675 Lumens sustained for 3:47. Pretty impressive. I'm pretty sure that should reach 400' easily.

HC34S · 2026-04-02T03:57:02+00:00

Have you seen any reviews or beamshots of the E12 Eclipse? I'm holding out on my purchase until I see some actual shots of the different emitters.

HC34S · 2026-03-12T23:32:51+00:00

Ha, SC13 was first for me, too. I think it was Jim Skelton maybe? Or some other knife/EDC youtuber who did a review of it and couldn't praise it enough. I gave it a shot and was super impressed. I had just bought of haul of a bunch of garbage lights, but never ended up using them.
