She's a psychopath. Sadly, I don't believe she'll change.

So anon blames an entire country for their shitty life choices?

I don't remember the last time I ate fast food. I'm sure when I did, it was nothing like this - oh, it still sucked - but all I got was a burger and iced tea.

Though I completely agree restaurant portion sizes are insane anywhere. I akways get 2 meals out of a "serving", often 3.

Wow, nice blanket statement.

Or maybe you take everything personally, or with the worst possible interpretation - assuming intent without verifying.

People like that are tiresome.

Fucking psychopath at 17

Same experience.

As Tech Connections points out, knowing what your water is like is crucial.

I use powdered detergent - 1 Tablespoon in the wash door, one in the prewash. This is about 1/3 of what I'm told to use.

I've used Folder Sync since about 2011. Killer app.

I run rooted just so I can backup/restore apps, using NeoBackup. It backs up to a local folder.

That folder, along with pretty much every folder on my phone is synced to a server at home using Syncthing-Fork. This way new data (photos, downloaded files, etc) are always replicated, and I can effectively manage the phone file system by moving files around at home. Any changes I make will sync back to the phone.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I've carried a Walmart led light, 2 AAA, twist focus, for a few years now. The price varies, but I've never paid more than $15 for one, and I use NiMh rechargeables in them.

I've also carried this one, they claim 270 lumen, it's surprisingly good. On narrow focus it throws a good 150', though I'd say effective is more like 50' (it would reflect animal eyes at 150, and you may see them, if it's really dark out).

I think getting high lumen from a single AAA is a tough challenge, in that it's a bit niche so finding one is rare. I'd sure like to have one.

I picked up a single AAA light from Bass Pro for about $12, works fine for what it is, but it's no thrower. I can't find it on their website, but they have a rechargeble one that does 300 lumen.

Those are 18650 battery lights. A 18650 is about twice the diameter of a AAA. 18650 is the defacto standard for flashlights these days because of the size and energy density.

A 18650 is 18mm diameter and 65.0mm long.

The AAA battery is ~10mm diameter and ~40mm long, very close in size to a 10440 battery.

But you can't assume you can throw a 10440 lithium into a AAA flashlight, because lithium voltage is lower than a primary (alkaline, etc).

Honest question, do you think the outcome would've been significantly better without the reinforced block?

I don't know enough about the layout, the plane, etc, to have a good perspective.

The tower warned the flight of birds in the area

The crew transmitted an emergency message just before the crash

Sounds like it was a crash, not a lack of landing gear. Though the timing on those messages would be informative, I don't see the crew sending a mayday once they impacted the ground.

So I'm wondering if that wall made any difference at all (again, I really don't know, just thinking out loud). I do wonder why they'd construct something so robust in a risk path.

You could learn from this person, since all your other responses are adversarial.
