They're sold here and there. There are LSD and non-LSD true D cells out there. I'm using Tenergy Centura D cells. They're 8Ah and LSD. PowerEX claims 9.5AH for their Imedion LSD cells, but they're a lot more money. The power supply is a benchtop laboratory style power supply. I have a few...

I'm using Tenergy Centura D cells. They's LSD and 8Ah. I saw reports on CandlepowerForums that they had lower internal resistance than the PowerEX LSD cells. NiMH D cells are expensive to get into simply because the charger costs so much.

Glad I could help. I've done both methods myself. I was doing a runtime test of a lantern last night and found 3 of the 4 D cell NiMH batteries were under .25V this morning. I set my power supply to 1.2V, the current limit to 100mA and connected each one until they got to .8V. Took 15-30...

For which? I don't buy lights with proprietary batteries. The L6 uses 26650s and the Meteor M43 uses high current 18650s. I got Keeppower protected 26650 cells for the L6 and Samsung 30Q button top unprotected cells for the Meteor M43 since they're in parallel and the current draw is too high...

The Airpods are a real product. The buttplug subwoofer is not. To your second question, friction.

Hardforum and servethehome both use Xenforo. It's pretty much interchangeable with vB from an end user usability standpoint IMO. It has some nice improvements though. Specifically on mobile devices.

I see you got the joke.

Attempting to edit my post with mobile Firefox on my tablet caused it to make another new post and leave the original in place even though I clicked Edit Post. I can't delete the extra posts, but I was able to edit them on my laptop.

I play with use them. 6600 lumens is nothing to sneeze at, but yes it's not a throwing light. For that, my neutral white Convoy L6 arrived today, but I don't have any batteries for it yet. They're on backorder. :frusty:

It probably is at too low of a voltage for the charger to recognize. Connect it in parallel with a good charged one for a few seconds. Or hook it up to a power supply set to 1.2V with a low current limit of like 100mA for a minute.

So I sort of accidentally bought a Dark Grey Noctigon 4*18650 Meteor M43 with Nichia NW 219CT LEDs. The $50 off coupon code didn't hurt. :bomb: Do not look in flashlight with remaining good eye :beye:

They're completely interchangeable.

What do you mean? NASA has been massaging the data for years trying to show whatever it is that they want to show. http://principia-scientific.org/nasa-exposed-in-massive-new-climate-data-fraud/...

It's amazing what you can show when you're busy fudging the numbers.

Interesting. I don't really have anywhere in need of such a drive. Granted, I'm using a 1TB 850 EVO as my DVR drive in my server, but it's only seen 1.38TB of writes so I'm less than 1% of it's rated endurance and it will probably last way beyond its rated lifetime should I actually get there.

So my 3D copy of Captain America: Civil War arrived on Blu-ray yesterday but I haven't even watched my copy of Avengers: Age of Ultron yet. I suppose I should do that first. I've also got the whole season 2 of Agent Carter recorded and unwatched and the 2nd half of the 3rd season of Agents of...

Is this really the forum you intended to post this in? :scratch: Which consumer SSD are they most closely equivalent to? An 850 Pro?

No, I meant stealing the whole printer. Like pulling a Mission Impossible-esque heist to get one instead of buying it. Hence the joke. I have a networked B&W Brother laser printer I use when I need one. But, I don't use it much.

So, I had another instance of Windows 10 just rebooting my computer randomly for an update. This time on my laptop. It hadn't been rebooted in probably over a week. I had been using sleep. I had a browser open and was using the computer. I stepped away for a minute or two to use the...

It was a joke... Since you said you don't buy them. You didn't say that you don't use one. :p

You steal them now too? Highfive! 8)

Neither did the public at large, which is probably why they're selling it. :rofl:

Of course it's not news to me. It would be nice if their range estimates was a range rather than a best case number.

So my Astrolux S41 with Nichia 219b LEDs came yesterday. It's a fun little light. The turbo mode is just silly for the size of the light. The light also heats up rather quickly in the top few brightness settings and requires a very high current battery, but that's not surprising or...

Unless you turn on the HVAC controls, roll down the windows, or it's cold outside.

Not to mention the crazy rolling shutter.

I found confirmation that they're in series for this light, not parallel. The 6800lm is definitely duration limited. Look at the specs: Mode 5: 2625 lumens / 2.8 hrs, Turbo: 6800 lumens / 2.6 hrs If you get 2625lm for 2.8 hours you can't get 6800lm for 2.6 hours. The best I could find it...

The 3500s are better than the 3400s for high current draw applications, but there are better high current batteries. The Sony VTC6 (unprotected) is the best of them, but are expensive and fairly hard to get. The vapers are buying them up like crazy. The Samsung INR18650-30Q (unprotected) is...

What's the point of e-mails having unsubscribe and subscription management links if they don't actually unsubscribe you? I'm not talking about random spam, but promotional e-mails from companies like Dell and others. I've unsubscribed and yet they keep coming, and coming and coming. In some...

Perfect! I'll get right on that after I make sure my homeowner's insurance is up to date.

I need to go into the attic over the garage to adjust modify some wiring before I can install them. I need to replace an existing electrical round box with something that will hold a 4 outlets, one set a GFCI. Then I need to add another box on the ceiling closer to the door. It's been way too...

Great! I made sure to pick ones that didn't have torn or beat up boxes.

How much computing power do you need? There are a number of fanless NUC enclosures. Some are even sealed. http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Fanless%20Chassis&type_sub=Fanless%20NUC&model=A-NUC22-A1B

You don't know me very well. They're so in the box.

So I noticed they were $23.99 in store today. Some sort of promotion that expires today. I bought the five I wanted for my upgraded garage lighting.

FWIW, I only buy lights in neutral white and have for several years. I don't care how fancy or awesome the light is otherwise. No neutral tint offering, no buying.

Yep. They realized everyone hates taking photos with their cell phones due to the lack of a viewfinder. They're eliminating their mirrorless cameras too.

Maybe Olight S1A or Klarus Mi7 if they sold either in neutral white.

You probably need a different pain medicine.

What's a near year delay between friends?

So I'm not really sure if the 15 or 16 minute eggs were really distinguishable from the 14 or if it's just my imagination, but I really liked the 16 minute egg today. The yolk had a real nice texture that I didn't notice on the other 14 and 15. No idea if the time difference accounts for it or...

Well it's not his fault. We're kept in the dark by the US head office in CA. At most of my jobs before this the bonuses have more been incentive plans. Here it seems like it's more of a bonus based on company performance. I don't have any influence on shipments / billings to forecast and...

At this company it's not quite so cut and dry, but it's typically 33% for my position per year. A bonus is paid every half, so basically 33%/2 is the target per half.

What do you mean? 10% of what?

So I got my first bonus at this job today that I got late last year. The payout wasn't terrible at about 60% of nominal though I generally did better at my last job in terms of percentage of nominal, but I was still quite unhappy about the way it all transpired. After asking for the...

I get some Sushi every Tuesday from the restaurant in the building (they bring in a Japanese Sushi chef), and I rather enjoy my lunch even if it is very similar every day.

Sounds like a lot of money still in my pocket to me.
