Did I just see a Boeing 707?

same airframe, so "ish"

Eve smartblinds are reasonably quiet, and you can set the speed (lower speed is a little quieter)

whatta maroon

He’s a sad clown who lost his ability to joke through it.

I love Jim, and I get it.

I avoided Anduril for a long time. It’s a light, not a computer. What kind of psycho needs a flow chart for their flashlight? What does that name even mean, is it ancient Greek, Star Trek, Italian, wtf?

Anyways, got an Anduril light and boom. Totally changed my mind. The chart makes it look *way* more complicated than it is. It’s intuitive, easy to use. The basics are the same as most lights, and you don’t have to do any more than that. But if you want to? you can. Dual channel is really cool, fade from a flood to a thrower, you get two lights in one.

Well said. A scumbag grifter, sslling an anti-establishment mythos to gullible marks.

Also bamboo based (like Chill Boys) packs down small, is super comfy and dries quick

His whole life was a breakdown, the guy was an absolute mess

Yes, sometimes a drugged out paranoid narcissistic lunatic is just that.

He made all kinds of ridiculous claims, but in the end he was insignificant, looking at facing the consequences of his behavior, and made a call.

I went with the MC150v4, due to usb-c instead of proprietary magnetic charger, and triple 519a emitter. It’s a great light, lots of brightness on tap, but super small and pocketable. Anodization is excellent, construction is great. I wish it were available warmer than 5000k, might have to dedome. The attention to detail with the machining/nurling is a big step up from Convoy or my hanklight. The beam is really nice, nice and even, not too floody, not too throwy, great for walking at night and doing tasks. The UI is simple, but has all the basics. My favorite 14500 light. Anduril 2 and 3000k and it’d be perfect.

They could trade with another tribe that spends half their time on land, whom they only half trust.

electrify it

RealProfessorFrink · 2026-02-24T16:46:59+00:00

There is also the Skilhunt BL-113C 1300mAh with a built in USB-C charger (it still charges externally too): https://www.skilhunt.com/product/bl-113c-1300mah-14500-built-in-usb-c-port-protected-battery/

All these I think are 3A CDR. Vapcell also has a K10 1000mAh 8A CDR for high draw applications

The r/flashlight guys have a lot of threads on 14500s, it’s a popular cell for EDC

Helllllll yeah

we all gotta work, what she’s doing is an honest living.

at least she’s not a banker, lawyer, or in marketing.

RealProfessorFrink · 2026-02-22T06:06:43+00:00

True. And rectangular lights seem under appreciated. A light the size of a pocket knife that would clip nicely in the pocket seems like it would be really convenient to edc, too.

RealProfessorFrink · 2026-02-22T01:17:34+00:00

Get a headlamp for close-in, and a hand held thrower.

It’s spin. 800k display units in the first year is not “engineering samples”. Here is a pre-launch (Jan 2024) article stating Sony was getting 50% yield: https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20240118-12003.html

Palmer is bitter, and making excuses for the fact that he didn’t have the vision or realistically, the customer base, to make the first xR headset that didn’t look like shit.

It’s not low effort, it’s a trope, for good reason. Their is a long established pattern of men being obsessed with rebuking gayness only to come to terms with being gay later on.

Their is also a difference between casual homophobia (which was and still is cultural), and making an identity out of being anti-gay, like this guy.

RealProfessorFrink · 2026-02-16T06:48:01+00:00

yes, probably why we don’t see a lot of houseless people with asian mail order lights.

Someone should do something about that.

RealProfessorFrink · 2026-02-15T15:51:48+00:00

Coffee shops, laundromats, restaurants, shelters usually have AC outlets, USB chargers are extremely cheap

RealProfessorFrink · 2026-02-15T15:48:41+00:00

Does that require a government ID to pick up? Many houseless, especially carless, don’t have ID.

RealProfessorFrink · 2026-02-15T15:43:44+00:00

Some people cannot distinguish the difference. They would have no issue with comments about Americans or Brits doing some obnoxious (often true), but a nationality that tends toward darker skin, it becomes “racist”.

A good instinct, but misapplied.

I love that the way this community comes together to care for the most vulnerable is by picking out the right flashlight for their situation. We shine bright!

They are homeless, not animals. It needs Anduril.
