I think you need a green LED for that! But it does help spot him at night.

Owls can’t see 660nm red.* This light is specifically for wildlife observation in a respectful way. “Blasting” them is just a joke because they make fun of my flashlight habbit.

• With qualifications. This is also true of mammals.

Generally I prefer to buy direct if possible, but I recognize I have more options in the US. Sorry about that!

Wurkkos FC11C flashlight with Nichia 519A emitter in 4000k color temperature. An exciting color like orange or green! Should be about $20 direct from their site. (Always on “sale”).

This will introduce them to the world of high power/beautiful/fun flashlights. If they are inclined, it can be a rabbit hole that leads to modding your own “hosts” with fancy LEDs and custom firmware etc.

No, the lantern modes run cool to the touch. I just put the light in the candy bag to make a strange picture; we didn’t have it inside the bag when we were trick-or-treating.

The potatoes definitely were weird. I figured I was out of the loop on some pop culture reference, but maybe just a neighbor with a weird sense of humor.

Radio is a Tidradio H3 with Signal Stick antenna. Used it on GMRS with my kid on his walkie talkie out and about in the hood.

In case someone’s wondering wtf, this is because dairy industry oligarchs are trying to make it illegal to call anything milk that doesn’t come from a cow. That said, I’m not sure why an alternate spelling was chosen here.

Book reviews, including positive ones, are found in many scholarly journals. It is understood that it is simply a review by an expert, not a peer reviewed article. That said, an academic book review is kind of a weird thing to share on social media.

“‘Look, it’s not as though he’s an accused money launderer son of a convicted member of an armed criminal uprising without a valid passport who crossed multiple borders via uncertain methods and for uncertain reasons in order to enter the United States in a concealed fashion for uncertain purposes,’ explained ICE representatives.”

And the Trump crime syndicate supplies the visas

Do you have experience with the office software or cloud drive from Mailbox.org? Proton’s spreadsheet app can’t even handle my modest flashlight collection and their Drive won’t mount as a drive on my Linux machine.

I’d like to thank Andy for introducing me to Proton’s competitor Tuta.

Hm, I think I’m not that tactical most of the time lol. But good to add to the memory banks as a use case.
