    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    Where could I pick up some of those for my car?

    Adapters for 3(L)R12 available in the USA?

    It's been a while. I thought I'd post here to see if there were any updates. I still can't find 3R12 or 3LR12 batteries domestically for a fair price. I would still like to have an adapter to use AA batteries. Ideally, I'd love to have some rechargeable B cells to use as well. But no one...

    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    When I go on trips, it’s usually a three D cell Maglite (newer LED variety). I figure it’s got plenty of runtime, can take abuse of a roadside repair, and in a pinch can be wielded as a club (my dad’s influence), old school cop style. My dad was a cop for a while. It’ll likely live under the...

    Silicone lubricant suggestion?

    I have several of the metal body Streamlight ProTac lights, such as the 1L-1AA and others. There are also some Maglites in my collection, as well as some polycarbonate body lights with O-rings. I never thought that silicone grease would react with anything, let alone with silicone O-rings! I...

    Student Loan "Relief"

    (Despite a nagging little voice in the back of my mind saying, "don't respond", I shall one last time. So go ahead and get your last word ready.) Name calling? Merely apt descriptors. Firstly, it's the work of Republicans that got us here. Secondly, the three that Mr. Trump pushed into the...

    Student Loan "Relief"

    Whether I like it or not is beside the point. Without getting too deep in the weeds with you, I said what I did because they are not in fact reading the law, the constitution, or precedent at all. They are making it up as they go along. Gorsuch, as an example, sees his role as that of an...

    Silicone lubricant suggestion?

    Thanks, I assumed it would be silicone grease. Is that something I shouldn't be using with flashlights with o-rings?

    Student Loan "Relief"

    You are proving that no matter how carefully one states one's point, it's bound to be misunderstood by others. So, you would have the entire education system propped up by charity of scholarships and grants? Not tenable. And since you keep harping on blue-collar jobs (let me be clear that I...

    Lots of B.S. to address. ;-)

    Student Loan "Relief"

    Since you started this, perhaps you can explain to the rest of us the thought process behind your stance? I sincerely do not understand. I, and others that aren't staunch conservatives might benefit from elucidation. Because, as it stands, I have only what I can ascertain from the stingy...

    Student Loan "Relief"

    K-12 is a very good example of how "spreading the cost" as you put it works for the entire society. And yes, as you dropped the word, that is socialism. Your fire department, your police force, your heavily subsidized roads, that's all socialism. The benefits of a highly educated population...

    Silicone lubricant suggestion?

    Sorry if this isn't the right place to post these questions. But first of all, should we be using silicone lubricant on the o-ring gaskets in light such as the Streamlight ProTac series? And if so, are there any specific ones that can be recommended for safe usage? And finally, good sources...

    More like everyone, and I do mean everyone, has been taken by the stolen Supreme Court.

    Student Loan "Relief"

    So, if you had to take a loved one to the hospital and it turns out that the bill is say 30 years of whatever your salary is. And since you signed the paperwork with the hospital and/or your insurance company promising to pay whatever they deemed was going to be the cost. You'd happily pay it...
