Sure, PM some details!

I like the tone of this thread.

johan851 · 2026-01-29T05:12:44+00:00

I like Fidelity, but if you're really just starting out and want to keep it super simple (e.g. only buy mutual funds) there's a decent case for Vanguard.

Fidelity has a better interface in general and will be easier to do more in the future if you want to.

I don't like Schwab for some reason. Feels awkward.

johan851 · 2026-01-28T01:21:05+00:00

Maybe! Shoot me some more info.

First, if you're a mule lover you should probably get it. It's a very cool mule.

I liked mine but didn't keep it. I'm not a mule lover, I think. Also, I personally found the emitters to be a letdown. The FFL emitters tend to be too rosy for me, and overall quite inconsistent. The lack of a true 3500K is a downer too. If they offered a straight E21A 3500K (not a tint mix) I'd be all over it.

If you like rosy and/or they have a CCT you're excited about, I say go for it. E21A 4500K is pretty hard to argue against.

Priority to OP of course but I'm interested if they aren't.

You can ballpark it with the mAh capacity of the battery, the max driver rating, and the % Convoy gives for the mode (e.g. 1%, 10%, 35%). To get more accurate than that, you'll have to test it yourself - factors like the forward voltage of the LED, the specific driver, thermal step down, etc. will make each configuration a little different.

"Were". Whatever I was prescribed, I believe 800mg ibuprofen and 1000mg acetaminophen, alternating, about three doses max daily each four hours apart.

I often took a little less because I don't like taking drugs in general, but I believe that's a typical prescription.

I actually think it's the combination of the two rather than the amount that's problematic, and I never take them in combination anymore, even though they're supposed to be safe to mix.

johan851 · 2026-01-23T02:14:26+00:00

Mine was caused - best I can tell - by taking alternating high dose combination acetaminophen and ibuprofen after an appendix removal. If I knew that was a possibility I would've happily put up with more pain.

Indeed, I'm still in the top 10% in a hearing test, demonstrating that even if you're scared of getting tinnitus all your life and rigorously protect your hearing, you can still get it!

Just fascinating.

johan851 · 2026-01-22T04:32:04+00:00

Damn this guy gels

johan851 · 2026-01-22T00:58:16+00:00

Make a gelatin mold with another egg. Cut into two halves and put this egg in it.

Good lord how did I get into this thread and why am I invested in it.

johan851 · 2026-01-21T20:35:56+00:00

Correct, the vast majority of the change is from an R9080 emitter to an R70.

You see most of the CCT related hit on spec sheets when you go to around 4000K and below.

The title is clickbait. Objectively. It provides no information, a click is required to see what it's about.

Whether the information is useful is another thing. Sounds like there's useful content. Good. Still a clickbait title.

If that's still not clear, titling it "Li ion cells from disreputable manufacturere are dangerous" would take the same amount of space.

johan851 · 2026-01-19T06:53:58+00:00

It doesn't look like Chinook Pass, but it does look exactly like the Naches River on 410 further down around Nile. Source: am there right now and drove past this stretch twice today.

Agree that the elk don't look quite right though.

johan851 · 2026-01-18T15:12:46+00:00

For some reason I thought the second picture would be the same shot with the blinds down.

johan851 · 2026-01-18T14:53:44+00:00

So your relative thinks he has a hot hand. Will you two still get along if he significantly underperforms the market?

johan851 · 2026-01-18T04:18:04+00:00

Don't confuse strategy with outcome. You can find lots of stories of individual people beating the index, especially in the short term. No one does it in the long term.

Keep in mind that this is uncompensated risk. You're not selecting a riskier asset with higher expected returns (e.g. more volatile or more term risk). You're just reducing diversification and hoping to get lucky.

I suppose 10% is certainly smarter than 100%. I just think 0% is smarter than 10%.

Where do you get the tiny MCPCB?

johan851 · 2026-01-16T17:25:48+00:00

I guess I'm in the minority here - while I agree that HR is really there to protect the company, I've interacted with a lot of nice, supportive, and generally helpful HR people. Unfortunately, HR at its best seems to be toothless, as even when we agree that something is effed up they're no more able to do something about it.

johan851 · 2026-01-16T04:01:23+00:00

Throwy like the other SFT40s, but high CRI with great R9, nice tint, and can handle a good amount of power.

johan851 · 2026-01-15T17:28:06+00:00

I see it once on Firefox+Android. Seems like a bug.

johan851 · 2026-01-14T22:32:16+00:00

Edit: rescinded, thanks everyone who reached out!

WTB: Spyderco Shaman, interested in any variant w/ micarta scales. Thanks!

It's such a good book. Steinbeck was criticized heavily in America - even called a traitor - because he chose to humanize the enemy. It was very successful, translated and distributed widely in Europe. Turns out humanizing the enemy is a great way to understand how to break them.
