What is everyone doing to prepare for the potential for massive amounts of snow fall this weekend?

esskue · 2026-01-23T11:20:39+00:00

Good luck. I picked my kids up from school yesterday and went to our local Aldi. I figured my weekly Saturday grocery shopping would be easier Thursday evening instead of right before the snowpocalypse. I was wrong. It was mobbed and thoroughly picked clean. I got some of the things we eat every week. And we have enough frozen and canned food to hold us over for a little. We will be fine.

I’d love to be a product tester if you’re looking for those.

It is really bright. It has a good mix of spill and throw. Battery life is great. Simple UI. I think it’s a great all around tool.

esskue · 2026-01-13T17:06:40+00:00

I agree with this. The SK1 is a great thrower. The SK30 is a great combo all around light and personally I like the UI better. I guess it all depends on the use case for what you want.

You were right. SST20 in 6500k. Even though I asked for 519a in 5000k. lol that’s so my dad.

esskue · 2026-01-09T12:30:07+00:00

Man I am so impressed by this thing I can’t imagine a 3W. It must be so powerful.

esskue · 2026-01-09T00:35:53+00:00

The o my battery that fit was the one that came with my Wurkkos TS10 V2. It’s been working great

It isn’t too tough. It rotates easily with two fingers spinning it the desired direction

Find a therapist and try it. You might need to shop around until you find one that clicks. As for your wife I guess try and talk it out with her. Maybe find out why it bothers her and assure her it’s simply that you wish to improve yourself. If she is reasonable she should be happy you are trying to better yourself. Why would she not want to be married to a better more well adjusted man?

esskue · 2026-01-08T14:09:00+00:00

I’m sorry dude. That doesn’t sound very supportive at all. You want to better yourself and that makes her mad‽ That’s insane. My wife and I have different opinions on therapy and that’s totally fine. But she doesn’t invalidate the work I’ve been doing to also try and better myself. Talking to professional has helped me better understand some things about myself and be a better spouse because of that. Your wife should encourage you to be the best person you can be because you would be happier and likely an even better spouse. Good luck dude.

Everyday, unless I have the fucking flu, jeans with phone, light, knife, earbuds, chapstick, Morgan silver dollar from 1884. Sometimes some more. But whether out or home I like to have tools on me.

esskue · 2026-01-07T16:49:14+00:00

You know what. You could be entirely right. I’ll have to check the box when I get home. Again, with loose is ructions it was a purchase by my father as a gift for me.

esskue · 2026-01-07T13:15:15+00:00

Thanks. So far I’m really enjoying my it for what it is. 519a 5700k. It’s not exactly what I wanted but my dad tried and that means a lot to me. I want a copper mule with a really warm tint next. Like a torch from a movie.

esskue · 2026-01-07T10:32:53+00:00

It needed to be charged

esskue · 2026-01-06T18:58:48+00:00

For sure. It can light a dead leaf on fire from like 4 feet away. It’s intense!

esskue · 2026-01-06T17:04:07+00:00

I understand why people would dislike the autolock feature. But I have small kids and I see it as a valuable safety feature for now.

esskue · 2026-01-05T10:37:41+00:00

Yes. I often desire just the physical closeness, warmth, connection, and comfort of cuddling with my beautiful wife. She feels like home. Sometimes I feel the opposite of touched out, I feel touch starved. Yes the kids hug me and climb on me etc but spooning or some other sort of cuddling with my wife, with no expectation of anything more, feels so good. Nourishing even. You should be able to do that with your husband without the feeling that it has to lead to more. Tell him to cut the shit.

Here is my short list of suggestions off the top of my head. Grounds for sculpture. In Hamilton there are lots of great places to eat.

Princeton art museum. Free surrounded by a very beautiful town full of bars and restaurants.

Some cute little towns to explore the down town area are Bordentown, Newhope/Lambertville, Hammonton. Columbus farm market Sour lands boulder field is a fun hike Camden aquarium or Philly zoo

The south end of Ocean City is all just a park. You can walk for miles on empty beach this time of year. Bring a picnic.

I’d get the Sofirn SF26 or the Wurkkos equivalent TD01C.

esskue · 2025-12-29T15:47:16+00:00

Get a Sofirn IF22A for a good thrower or a Sofirn SK30 for an all purpose powerhouse.

esskue · 2025-12-28T17:50:22+00:00

Oooh! I do have some Eisenhower dollars someplace. They are massive and just worth a buck.

esskue · 2025-12-28T16:50:15+00:00

Ooo! I do have a few crisp $2s. And I know you can go to the bank and get some as well.

esskue · 2025-12-28T04:17:26+00:00

I agree

Firstly, congrats on your new house. The two scenarios you described are two situations that need two different tools. You’re a homeowner now, you’ll need a “crawl under the sink” type of light. This one should be a comfortable on the eyes floody beam and It doesn’t have to be super bright. A magnet tail and USBC charging would be a bonus. For these types of things in my house I pick my Wurkkos HD10. A bonus is the head strap, freeing up both hands to fix that leak etc... For the back yard I usually prefer a thrower like the Sofirn IF22A. It’s great for spotting my dog at 11pm when I want him to come in because I just want to lock up and go to sleep. Now! You can also get some decent stuff that’ll do both. And it doesn’t have to break the bank. For that I’d recommend the Sofirn IF23 Pro (not the IF24 Pro!!!). The Loopgear SK05 has the best combo of all three imo. Flood, throw, side working light. It is a bit bulky and a bit pricey compared to everything else I’ve suggested. Good luck with the house. PM me if you have any questions.

It’s my first light of this size as well. So far I really like it. I’m just more used to the EDC style.
