XKCD: flashlights

Hubby pointed me at today's XKCD, because well you would when the postie has just delivered you a new Fenix PD35 tactical that very morning!

Re: Today's XKCD

I love XKCD, and yes, this sounds familiar

XKCD has been producing some great, techie comics for years now. If you have time to spare, work your way through the archives... the day will be gone before you know it and you'll still be asking for more.

Nice!

I came here just to tell you guys about this if nobody had seen it yet. XKCD is great.

Setting the whole forest on fire at the same time sounds like a challenge. I've seen lights burn wood, but I don't think I've seen anything at that kind of range.

What model is this? I need a flashlight that has sound effects and sets trees on fire.

It's an added bonus if it has recoil as well.

We're famous!! Famous, I tell you!!!

And I'm pretty sure that the light he's using is a DripTorchvn.

Flashlights WERE dim when I was a kid, at least the ones I had access to.

Oh, totally! So was I!

Fifty-some years later, at least the lights have gotten brighter!

Just go to the original XKCD site and move the cursor over the comics. You will get a hint of the website.

oh yeah... the Time series of comics was truly epic! It took me a little while to figure out the comic was being updated every half hour or so. It didn't take me long to start saving each one, which is a bit of an obsession when it takes weeks (or was it a couple of months) for the series of comics to reach a conclusion (of sorts).

there is a fun little simulation of the catapult used in the early part of the Time comic. A great way to take a break at work!!
