In French they can be. In France, no because they don't have a large repertoire of sounds. But in Quebec, all 3 E sounds different.

Yes I saw that one, I also like the presence of aux lights so when it's closed I get some lights that people can see. I was just wondering that if the optics are that small, maybe the throw wouldn't be enough. I guess it's fine. It would be quite a powerful flashlight.

Did you go with or without dome for the 519A?

The SC33 would be great, but tail switch. Not as useful for me because of the way I hold the flashlight while riding. It uses the XHP70.3 HI emitter, so I might get that type of performance in a D1K with this emitter. For the SC29, this is a great option, it checks a lot of boxes. Thanks!

Yes, I'm looking for a light that I hold in hands. So I don't think these form factor are the best for my use case. I want to aim it at the ground (I need to see holes and cracks in the road), but I also need to aim it at street signs or something I want to see in the woods for example.

It happened a few times that my Thrunite battery was all spent before getting back home. But maybe it won't happen with a 21700 though.

A 21700 is fine for the weight. I won't mind I'm fine going bigger than my Thrunite. The only thing about the SP36 is it uses 3x18650, which is quite hefty. It's hard to hold on with the wrist guards. It's doable, but if I can get a bit smaller light I can also just bring a few extra batteries if needed, it's better imo.

Thanks again for the suggestions though!

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't know about this community, just subscribed. I might post there too later. I can't find the W51 to do more research unfortunately. But I would prefer a 21700 battery since I would like to match the battery with another flashlight I have in mind for camping purpose.

 

I'm looking for a new light for EUC riding. I currently have a SP36 which I find too big and heavy and also a thrunite TC15 that lacks throw and uses a micro USB that I dislike. A buddy of mine uses a Fenix TK16 v2 and it seems to be a good balance of flood and throw, but I dislike the buttons. I really like the features of my SP36 and the single button.

I need good flood and medium throw in order to see further ahead. I looked at hank lights and I'm quite interrested, but I'm new to all this. Through my research, I think a D1K might be a good format. I saw a few people riding EUC that said the D4Sv2 with XPL-HI is best, but this emitter isn't offered anymore.

What do you suggest?

I migrated from Bitwarden to 1password because I wanted something that works better on Linux. With 1password-cli and PAM integration mainly. Bitwarden worked beautifully under Windows, but once I switched over to Linux, I realised that 1password had more Linux friendly features. I track some discussions over bitwarden that talk about implementing those features, I might come back at some point.

They complain and they offer a bogeyman. That's enough for most people since it comforts them.

This setting doesn't exist for me. I just use another launcher anyway.

I don't have it on mine. I finished high school (college) 20 years ago. There are way more relevant things to put in my resume than that.

I just met one. He doesn't think that Trump is a fascist. He thinks that Trump and Biden are the same. The thinks that we should bring the whole system of oppression down. He doesn't realise that in order to make change happen, we must make allies, that electing someone who wants to bring the democracy (even though it is flawed) is worse for his goals. He even repeats right wing propaganda.

They are few, but sometimes they can appear.
