One thing I've always wanted to try is a bike ride with night vision on. Idk why I just think it would be cool

I think Kamala has much better odds than Biden did this time around. The assassination attempt on Trump was crazy and solidified his supporters.

I think it's a closer race than either side thinks

So the solar panel I have doens't have an on board battery, just straight to usb. It makes it lighter and less bulky so I don't mind.

I personally think most phones would be okay but I've read in a few places that some devices don't play nice with the variations in electricity from the solar panel.

So the battery brick is the middleman.

I got a folding solar panel that I use to charge a big power brick and then use that to charge devices. The goal is to use the solar panel on long camping trips and in case of power outages.

The brick alone will keep my phone topped off for over a week

It would be cool to have a brass catcher for rifles. If I was designing one it would attach to the picatinny rail on top. I hate hunting for brass but I want to keep things looking nice and do a bit of reloading

Edit: One google later and yeah people make them. Sick!

"A well built physique is a status symbol. It reflects you worked hard for it, no money can buy it. You cannot borrow it, you cannot inherit it, you cannot steal it. You cannot hold onto it without constant work. It shows discipline, it shows self respect, it shows patience, work ethic and passion. That is why I do what I do." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

I beats a parking lot that's for sure. Micro climate would improve. It could bring more shade, better water retention and more types of bugs and wildlife than the places around you.

As for big picture, not so much but every bit counts. Like light pollution for example. If property owners turned off or shielded one outdoor light the night sky would be a lot cooler to a lot more people. It's a collective effort and it needs to start somewhere

Yep it does! I prefer the step options because I don't mess with brightness very much. If I bump it and it changes it's easier to reset imo

The standard SC21 is what I carry when off work. I like how it perfectly fits the small pocket watch/zippo pocket on jeans.

I went with the warmer color temp (27k I think?) to see how I liked it compared to the cold white light that my work Streamlight has. I definitely like how gentle and cozy it is, very similar to incandescent flashlights which is great for what I use it for.

Yeah this little guy is obviously going to be outperformed by bigger lights but the light you use is the one you have with you. It makes it easy to keep it on me.

Check out binaural microphone headphones

This is a cool youtube channel to show the effect https://youtu.be/j18RKpKvL1Q?feature=shared

Shadows of Doubt! Its this sci fi noire game where you play as a cop that became a private eye detective. Their police force was replaced with privatized "enforcers" that uphold the policy of the new corporate government.

You solve crimes the enforcers won't and take on side jobs to stay alive, upgrade your apartment and build enough social credit to retire to "the fields"- a suspiciously utopian retriement zone far away from the grime, storms and thick smog of the city.

This is an immersive sim. Kind of like a procedurally generated Deus Ex. You can interact with a lot of stuff turn on sinks, open cabinets, read email and newspapers, eat food, watch tv and drink alcohol until you can barely stand.

When it comes to solving crime you can sift through camera footage, take fingerprints, crawl through air ducts, ask people for information, hack into govt databases and more. You put all of the clues on a big conspiracy board in the menu until you find the murderer and bring them in....before they kill again.

I agree this is quite a distraction for Russia to deal with. It would be a shame if other areas across the front took advantage of it
