    What happened to everyone?

    Honestly, the arbitrarily strident moderation I observed is what led me to leave long ago. Mind you, I'm absolutely not talking about you Greta. I don't recall hoping that anyone would care, so I guess that worked out... But OP asked the question, and I was in the neighborhood. This...

    Fenix E99 TI Limited Edition

    I ordered five of these, four as gifts, one to carry. All five had varying degrees of slightly gritty threads. Super Lube and Krytox each were equally effective at improving the movement, but its definitely not silicone lubed aluminum. Examining the one I chose for myself (the others are packed...

    Fenix LD22 Question ... ?

    Actually I was just enjoying this light a few minutes ago. Its an awesome piece of engineering, as is my Fenix TK41 and TK50. I have this problem that each are my favorite light when I pick them up. All three are that good. To answer your question, no, the LD22 with XP-G2 has the same...

    Purchased Fenix TK41

    I know this is an old thread, but I had to offer this as I'm surprised noone else did. Scar, just give the tailcap a half twist to disengage the circuit and avoid the current draw you're worried about. Give it a twist when you pick it up. Do it with the light on to see how little the cap...

    Anyone using Linux OS on their computer?

    You won't be sorry. One piece of advice that often isn't given to Linux novices: During the install, partition your drive so that you have a separate /home partition. As you might possibly know, /home is where your personal directory is, ie. /home/chesterqw. That is where all your www...

    Sold/Expired 2.5" THROW MASTER by Fivemega

    So the consensus is that this wouldn't work with, say, the TerraLUX TLE-6EX? Or at the very least, would be wasted on it?

    solar watch with no battery?

    Ah, ok. I was under the impression that they were one and the same. That being the case then I have to agree with the assessment of kinetic watches.

    solar watch with no battery?

    The solar ones, not the kinetic watches, which I believe legitimately wind themselves using your motion. My parents gave me one in the seventies that worked very well, a little too well in fact. I think they underestimated just how much movement an eight year old could kick out, the thing...

    This is pretty messed up...

    Of course you should assume the worst and prepare accordingly, (I still advocate a dog as an effective alarm system and burglar deterrent) but barring the not implausible event that the 12 year old made it up or dreamed/imagined it, be aware that this story sounds like there is likely a whole...

    my new wife

    You're thinking of B*A*P*S* from 1997. She starred in it with Natalie Desselle.

    my new wife

    Words of wisdom raggie, That girl you're looking at on TV or in the magazine... remember, no matter what she looks like, no matter how beautiful, pretty, or hot she is, some guy somewhere is tired of taking her *$#! (shamelessly stolen from someone right here on CPF)

    having some trouble with a history paper

    That's a tad bit of an understatement. Take for example the movie U-571. It portrayal depicts American sailors as the ones that captured documents vital to cracking the Axis' Enigma code instead of the British heroes that actually performed the feat. Talk about missing a small detail...
