Tankless (flow-through) is quite popular, but so are storage units - anywhere from 10 liters to the 60 or 80 liter monsters we had at home when I grew up. The tankless are painful to use - the water flow is like a 3-year old pissing. Anything more and the water temp drops drastically. My...

Guess that's a polite way of saying I'm in over my head :rofl:, and you'd be right. The stuff's going to hit the fan when the wife finds out how much I've spent on "flashlights".

A testament to the tenacity of human beings. After we moved to our current location (which is about 3000 feet above MSL), I really miss the central heating that is common in the US. Minimums are ~ 14°C; nothing by your standards, but cold without heating. We are renting now, so no hot water...

Yup. I gave up trying to post in another thread because it just sat there spinning. Seems ok now.

Excruciatingly s-l-o-w right now.

Handy, be wary of claimed turbo output. Very few manufacturers will tell you run time at max output is limited - 3 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, etc. Either the circuitry will step down the output, or you will because it'll get too hot to hold. Fenix lists this info in the manual for some of their...

Thanks for the info, jtr, very useful to know. I Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge here.

Way too many flashlights do not use LiFePO4, specifically banning their use. It's also difficult to find good chargers for them. Handy, please read the instructions for the charger before deciding the charging rate. At least for NiMH, chargers look for the termination signal to stop charging...

A Very Happy New Year to All! May it be filled with robust health, abundant joy and great prosperity!

Good you're noticing these things, Dave, you'll make your little girl a good dad!

Happy Holidays to all!

I'm pretty sure you took this shot to show us the mixed light. But I'll still risk stating the obvious - don't get mad at me! But when / where possible, you could position the subject so more of one type is on the critical parts like the face. Towards the large windows for natural light, or...

Thirded!

I know you guys cycle for the joy of it, but sometimes, this may be handy.

So what are you going to give them? Win 7? How long is Win 7 going to be available before they pull the plug on it (sales) and make Tannin even madder?

Thanks guys. I'm aware of the consumer / business lines most PC/laptop makers have. My question was for a family member who's price conscious, not tech savvy, but wants a reliable machine. The laptop in my home is a 6 year old Lattitude D531 that my company allowed me to keep when I quit it a...

So HP's ok to buy? Other than Dell & Lenovo, which brands are ok?

Absolutely awesome, thanks Merc! ROTFLMAO!

OT: Fushigi and Pradeep seem to have completely disappeared from the forum :(

Happy Birthday, jtr!

I don't see how is this different from a hybrid drive other than the amount of flash.

Your link's messed up, Lunar.

+1,000,000 to what Merc said. I am not on Facebook, but some people I know have uploaded group pics and identified me - without my permission. They just don't see it as a big deal. There goes my privacy down the toilet.

Resourceful little monkey, aren't you? Kudos to you for getting it to work and saving money at the same time.

Yeah. Some states got split about a decade back. More opportunity for more politicians to enrich themselves; where there was one govt. now there are two. Etc. Now there is talk of splitting yet another state. What was once a gazillion different ethnicities was united (mostly) by the Muslim...

Totally awesome, Merc. I too always wondered why you guys have so many states. They used to teach kids rhymes in school that put the states in alpha sequence so they could recount all of them. I guess my daughter's forgotten it now.

Gosh, SH, I had no idea OBD-II was so complicated. Curious to know if the stuff you linked to applies to Saturn only (obviously the link refers to Saturn), early implementations of OBD-II, or to all cars, even current ones. What a royal pain, indeed.

Thanks jtr, I'll read up on that link.

Sheesh, man, do you think I'm stupid? I never said I read every spam mail. I eyeball the sender column and if there's a genuine email, move that to the inbox. The rest get axed in one stroke. So much for helping people. Nasty sarcasm is the result.

Much of what you said is Greek to me, jtr, I know these chemistries exist, but know little else. Most chargers don't seem to charge LiFePO4, if I recollect right. Thanks for the info, it helps to learn more abut these things. I'll try to read up on them. For now I'm sticking to NiMh and AAA /...

I've been talking about one of these.

I always inspect mail in the spam folder first, because there sometimes will be false positives sitting there. Then I manually empty the spam folder by clicking on the trash can icon next to it. Do this almost everyday. I don;t find this to be a chore to do.

Thanks SD. I think those EagleTac 18650 batteries are protected; I'd be pretty darn surprised if Eagletac was releasing unprotected batteries this powerful. Oddly, their website has no link for accessories (where I'd think batteries would be), and no search function. Some of the 10 reviews on...

But the idea is that single retail units are packed so well that you can toss them around and the drive shouldn't get hurt. The "oem" drives are sold wrapped in an anti-static bag and noting else. If you drop that, then all the bits get mixed up inside.

Thanks SD, I forgot you had written about them earlier in the thread. I think I'll pass on 18650 for now; it gets expensive, and getting them delivered to me would be a pain. I haven't read the latest on TSA's rules for transporting primary and rechargeable LI batteries. I've finalized on my...

Even with WD Retail drives (I mean the single drives in full retail packaging) ?

Wow, the guy's all over the place. 'nix, Windows, apps, what not. Thanks Merc, this will come in useful someday.

Gosh, I guess you go to some pain to ensure they can't get out of the enclosure through small cracks and gaps.

The problem with the EagleTac MX25L3 is that it uses 3 x 18650 batteries. If you have another flashlight that uses a single 18650, then you're good. Otherwise it's kind of odd. Which 18650 charger do you guys use / recommended?

I raided the data I have collected for my own use, and have eliminated any that are known to be floody. The ones below are 1xAA, and may or may not be floody; you'll have to do a quick check of reviews. Fenix LD10 XP-G R5 Fenix LD15 XP-E R4 L3 Illumination L10 Colors Nichia 219 L3...

Why do you run & hide, you little monkey?! No need to be afraid of telling the truth. Silly goose. C'mere, let me give you a real big hug and hoist you on my shoulder.

And on the banks of freshwater rivers. The seas don't give you potable water.

Is the '11 an Audi A3 as well?

Welcome to the forum sedrosken! Most forums have restrictions for new users; this is pretty common. As Handruin pointed out, restrictions are eased as your post count goes up. I'm surprised (and somewhat flattered) that you think me knowledgeable. In my opinion, I know less than anybody...

I use both Firefox and Chrome equally. Started using Chrome because Yahoo mail was terribly slow in Firefox and used to hang frequently. So Chrome is used for email. Firefox is used for SF and another forum; these are the only two sites that have permanent cookies. All other cookies are deleted...

The area is unstable. Frequent earthquakes and landslides (Indian landmass still head-butting the Asian landmass - the reason for the Himalayas). Torrential rain some parts of the year. It's a challenge to keep the "roads" the way they are in the video. I was there in 2006, and underwent similar...

Cool. And what it that on the counter top? A puddy tat with the tail hanging down?

Well then, what do I do guys? I don't want to throw money on a new drum and / or cartridge (unlike HP, they are separate pieces in my Brother printer) and find nothing's improved. Jut bite my teeth and wait till one or both need(s) a replacement, try that, and if there's no improvement, dump it...

It was inevitable that they would climb down to the level of the others and be part of the lowest common denominator. Just surprised it took them this long. The old IBMers must have retired.

Thanks Chewy. Kyocera certainly operates here, and have a branch in my city as well. The following bw lasers are available in A4 size: ECOSYS FS-1040, ECOSYS FS-1060DN, FS-1110, FS-1320D, FS-2020D and FS-6970DN. I'm sure one of them will fit my needs. The real issue is the print quality. If they...
