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.

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.

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.

They used to be about the best you could expect from broadcast TV before David Ellison and Bari Weiss took over CBS.

Not really, but I’m interested too. Front line antifascist groups are also apparently making effective use of drones, so that might be a perspective to look for in a recent documentary.
