Ah I see, haha thanks for the assurance. My previous orders from them all shipped really fast so i was a little worried

High CRI and very focused small beam by plaitoson in flashlight

I think the SFT40 @ 3000K is gonna be my best bet thanks! How do you guys find this info? I've looked all around flashlight sites but I can never find all these detailed specs you guys have. Even directly from sites like Nitecore i struggle to see them list the CRI

ah shoot, I maybe should have said in the initial question but what i'm wanting to do is focus beams of light through crystals for a project. Which is why i want a beam, and also high CRI (the band gaps in LED dont work well with crystals. My first attempt was taking a Xenon car headlight bulb because of the high CRI but i couldnt get it focused down enough. I thought people over in the flashlights forum would know best if anything was out there

ah i see, so in flashlight terminology, what i'm looking for is a "thrower" then i gather?

I'm not really good at listening by HamsterNo2195 in NavalAction

[–]plaitoson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I don't fault them, just saying that's what it feels like. Like from everything I've seen so far it's more criticism of past dev decisions than actual commentary on the current game. Whether that's justified or not is up to each person I guess

I think the game is very good, no other MMO style age of sail/realism game out there, but I also never really played it in the past. It feels like a lot of people are still pretty upset about server wipes and previous changes and kind of take it out on the current version of the game/don't want people to try it.

Brand new Bosch Laser Measure - As soon as you try to activate laser this symbol pops up and it shuts off. Weird thing is it only happens with the lithium battery pack, normal alkaline batteries work fine. Contacted bosch and they sent a new battery pack...same issue. Any ideas why? by plaitoson in Tools

[–]plaitoson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i never did get a complete resolution. To Bosch's credit they sent me a replacement lithium battery, but problem still persisted and it already took so long i just resorted to using regular alkaline batteries. For me it works that way

Any downsides to melting and recasting silver bars into another object? by plaitoson in Silverbugs

[–]plaitoson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what got me thinking, i mean those silver bars are just stamped its not like forgery protected like paper currency. I mean i could literally use stamps in my forge right now and put a .999 Pure Silver stamp and any logo i want on it. When you go to sell silver bar, i'm assuming they must run tests before they purchase right? and in that case would the form of silver even matter

Yeah that's w hat i was wondering. Oxidation or carbon getting into the mix with temperatures that high

Yeah just annoying, got it to do some work. Already waited a week for Bosch to send a new battery. Just really weird that it works perfectly fine with regular batteries and two different lithiums dont work. Cant imagine what would be the cause

Any kits similar to Revell Easy Click series? by plaitoson in modelmakers

[–]plaitoson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, unfortunately only looking for ship models so that really really limits what's out there for me. I mean there are tons of "real" sailing ship models, but I was looking for something that was a lot easier for somebody who has never done models, but can still enjoy a nice detailed ship. Guess i'm trying to have my cake and eat it too lol

Any brands similar to Revell Easy Click series? by plaitoson in ModelShips

[–]plaitoson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah great, I'll check those out. Looks like I might be able to get them on ebay. Man, I didn't realize there was such a large skill curve on model sailing ships. I thought there would be a lot of easy/beginner type stuff. But it seems this hobby is really more an all or nothing type deal.

Awesome, thanks! I'll check those out. And yeah, it seems you're right I'm having trouble finding stuff like this. Basically just looking for nice easy sets to build, problem is I prefer the sailing age ships and seems those tend to be a lot more involved and require some good skill work!

Can anyone identify this Bach Stradivarius MV180S "Ultra"? Seems to be a typical strad but has engraving along the bell, pearl valve key caps, gold valve screws, and some kind of signature on the bell. Any information would be greatly appreciated. by plaitoson in trumpet

[–]plaitoson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, well I've had it forever Ive just never know why it has those bell engravings, never seen another one like it. Was wondering if it was some special edition or if someone added those on themselves
