They have their place, but it’s not my preference for EDC

Tailcap switch could be nice, but I haven’t missed having one.
My SureFire has a tailcap switch and it would keep getting turned on in my pocket.
It’s a personally owned light, not medical equipment. And, I also can use it on moonlight mode to check pupils, works better than the lights we are given.
And, why carry a big light if a small light can do the trick? I have a bigger light (noctigon K1) with a 1 mile throw, I can’t lug that around in my pocket.
I mechanically lock out the light in my pocket so it doesnt accidentally get turned on. It’s my choice to carry a light with those capabilities, it’s also not that dangerous…
I have two D cell maglites, I give them to the kids when they need a flashlight so they dont start a fire with my light, or lose an expensive one.
Used to EDC one of those. Switched to an Emisar D4DV2, it’s way better.
False
It’s really nice when working ambulance and trying to work a patient at night. I’m able to illuminate the scene well enough that everyone can see.
Have also lit up yards while looking for patients/hazards.
Armorsuit protectors have worked well for me on s21 and s22 phones. Might be worth trying.
Got two bulging discs 5 years ago (L4/L5). Have impingement on my femoral and syatic nerves.
I ride a desk for work and do hobby farming to stay active outside of work, and work part time as a first responder (EMS)
I have a cane for bad days, and meloxicam for really bad days/weeks.
Doing CPR sucks, running sucks, basically most excersises suck. I can’t pick up my kids as much as I’d like, and I am having a hard time convincing my wife to let me try bull riding… doing to much gives me nerve shocks down both legs from by butt down to my heels.
But, I push through and try to stay active.
I’ve done physical therapy twice, both times made it worse. Tried a chiropractor, each visit would give me about 45-60 minutes of relief after the procedure.
Long car rides are about the worst. I’ll be bent over almost double getting out. During isn’t bad, it’s the straitening out afterwards.
It’s about $80/month each for me. I’ll usually keep two deactivated while they are parked in the barn. I’ll have two active, and the other two are either waiting for me to repair them, or waiting till the other two break down. Sucked that one time I had three down at the same time…
I’ve had good luck using permethrin as a bug repellant instead of a clothing treatment.
I used a sapphire. I’m a ceramic engineer, and sapphire is just alumina, so I think it’s cool, and you can get basically any color you want.
It’s getting harder and harder to make things smaller, but they are making things thinner now, which means they can layer them, thus increasing density.
I have updated my comment to direct to a comment from @weststadtgesicht that is more accurate.
Lee Strobel (former athirst, investigative journalist) wrote a book titled The Case For Christ.
His goal was to write the difinive work on proving that Jesus wasn’t who the Christians claim him to be. It backfired on him and he became a Christian.
(See below comment from @weststadtgesicht with a more accurate quote.)
If you’re wanting to read more on this topic, definitely read both sides and determine which has the stronger case. But the Strobel book seems to be well researched and well written, at least to me.
I don’t struggle a lot with it. Occasionally I’ll have an issues, but it’s not bad at all. Sometimes I have to switch severs, but I’ll usually find a working one in 1-2 tries.
The only outright block I run into is sometimes .gov sites won’t let me in unless I’m set to a us server.
I’ve been using Proton for 4ish years now and like it. Email, VPN, drive, and calendar. I use something else instead of proton pass, but just for diversity.
I’ve been very happy with the whole Proton suite for almost 4 years now (though, I’ve never used the free plan)
It’s configured wrong and that’s bothering me…
