edit - turns out rebooting it five times is what works.
when I'm using any of my Plex players, it acts like my server is turned off. when I go into settings, it says that my server is unavailable with a secure connection. I've tried restarting everything, rebooting everything, I can't watch my server.
my browser always asks if I want the simplified view which always bypasses the paywall
it's time for your lesson of the day: race is made up. I remember top gear making fun of the French being called racist as a kid, and that was the first time I really realized that everybody has their own idea about race.
there was a period of time where only black or white people could become American citizens, and people of various ethnicities would have to petition the courts to be declared white. Slavs and Scandinavians and Italians had to gain white status through the American courts...

i like him better when he was still Narsil.
when I'm checking them once a year, I do occasionally find corrosion before it becomes a problem, but I keep Energizer Lithium in all of my important things
you know I was expecting mostly what I got, people commiserating, people giving explanations for why they exist, people talking about how their flashlights don't do that, but something genuinely useful, that I did not expect.l
no, surprisingly, Fleshlight has actually figured out how to make an on/off button.
the vibrator? what brand
I can't remember the last time I had a flashlight that did that. I have one in my bedside drawer that's been using the same battery for at least 6 years. and the other ones around the house, I just double check anytime a hurricane is supposed to be rolling in and they've always been fine
I've generally steered away from them because of price, but I do have their Maximus headlamp. I don't remember spending almost $500 on it at the time, but it was pretty steep especially for not having a removable battery
how do you change the mode?
all these super bright LED flashlights you buy on amazon, or at the checkout counter of the hardware store, I just now realized they don't have adjustable focus and I've never needed it with them.
does it have a brand name on it aside from O'Reilly? maybe a part number somewhere in it
so the solution is installing Linux on the flashlight?
Anker.
I don't know how it is with four AAA, but I had an Anker that had the three AAA cassette, where it holds them all side by side. the cassette broke, and when I called asking for a replacement part, they told me they weren't making that anymore so no more parts, but these three cell AAA cassette could be replaced with a single 18650
I do appreciate you taking the time to look though.
that's what I was looking at. c-cell is kind of annoying, it's the only one that I don't have rechargeables laying around for, 18650 would be more convenient. but, mainly, the lumen output looks awfully low for a flashlight that size
oh man, they're still offering incandescent models alongside their LEDs. none of them are really inspiring hope though, even the smaller LED lights seem to have pretty pitiful lumen output compared to what I'm seeing out there
I haven't looked into maglite since proper LEDs priced them out of the market. I'll take another look
see, one of mine is supposed to be almost that easy. you press the button normally to turn the light on and off, and it always remembers the last setting. then, you lightly press the power button to cycle through modes. the problem is, there's no way to press the button hard without also pressing it soft first, so most of the time you're cycling at the same time that you're powering.
once a year I email my favorite flashlight manufacturer to ask if they've finally made a flashlight that just turns on and off when you push the button, and every year they're like, "no, but thanks so much for your feedback!"
be honest, have any of you ever used the flashing feature on your flashlight? did it actually come in handy? handy enough that I have to scroll past it every single time I want to turn my flashlight on or off
watching Wild Green Yonder with a friend, me watching the movie on my Plex, them watching the version broken into episodes on Hulu.
i pulled Hulu up to make sure i stayed synced, and the Hulu version quickly pulled ahead of mine. i didn't notice a missing scene but i wasn't paying close attention to the Hulu version.
when Hulu auto-cycled to the next episode, even with outro and intro credits, it brought it back to sync with my version. we're β through episode two, and Hulu is currently 14 seconds ahead, although we started this episode synced.
there's like a dozen different subredd!ts but I'd prefer not to.
the one's over on Reddit all have cryptic names so I'm not entirely sure how to search
I don't take it very often because I don't want an addiction sneaking up on me, but it certainly makes crowds more manageable. almost enjoyable
I quit smoking about 6 years ago. about a year ago, I bought some nicorette lozenges to try to cop a nicotine buzz and got absolutely nothing. some people are telling me that nicotine pouches hit better, but I'm not sure what the science behind that is.
what's your preferred smokeless nicotine delivery system?
I tried searching for one but I'm just getting clumps of philosophy majors
when I tap on a notification for a mention, it's no longer highlighted, so it's showing it as being read, but the little number up at the top doesn't go away unless I hit the "mark all read" button.
