I've gotten some good deals on lightly used 24" dishwashers. I've never seen an 18" come up, though I'm sure they're out there. I think I paid about 50% of MSRP on my current one that has been very good to me.

I see lots of people saying there are plenty of 18"s, and I'm sure that's true if you buy them new. I guess I just wanted to agree with you and share my experience.

If you're in the sand box, does it count as a blumpkin? Or is it toilet specific.

That's awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.

I agree, it would be great if we had more varied and tailored options.

If someone has been involuntarily committed it means they've already shown an intention to harm themselves or others. So the goal is not to stop them from feeling bad but to physically prevent them from doing harm.

If I had my way, regulations would require a physical connection for all door handles, and not just that a secondary physical release be available. I don't know how you would go about finding injuries associated with each design as a layperson, but I bet there's a death or two associated with each novel design.

An old man roasted in his Cadillac XLR because the battery was dead and he didn't know where the secondary release was. I think it's under the seat on that car. I don't care how cool that electronic door release was, or if the old man was negligent in not knowing his exits; it wasn't worth his life.

They might be, food photography is weird

That's how I like to see us too, but I've definitely met some Z hating millennials.

I met a fellow "old millennial" recently who said "we're the last generation to be raised right". I disagree, but hearing it from a guy my age really cemented me in old man status.

Then he told me he had 3 kids. Who's responsible for raising that generation!? Lol.

Haha, fair enough. I seem to have lost track of the years somewhere in there.

The creamers and syrups are very weird. Some people here are passionate about them too. It's always a mixed bag when someone says they're picky about their coffee.

My go-to is a big pour over, maybe 15g of coffee and 500mL of water. Of course, being American, I measure everything with plastic spoons from McDonalds instead of a scale. I like espresso too, but I'm not big on lattes. Generally no cream, sugar, or anything added.

On the other end of the spectrum is diner coffee. Usually strong but stale. It's not my favorite but it has a special place in my heart.

If you ever do meet an American coffee snob ask them what they like. We have a whole variety of them.

Flashlight is an S6 with Osram W1. The mount is designed to aim at about 10 degrees down from the level of the top of the stem, whatever that is. With the Osram the hotspot ends about 20' out.

From left to right:

S2+ TI - XHP50.3 4000k - 4A convoy 6V

S2+ - 519a 2700k dedomed - 5A Convoy CC

S2 - Triple 219c 4000K (FW3A) - 5A Convoy CC

S8 - SFQ65 3000k - Dr. Jones H17Fx

Roche F12 - 519a 4500k - 5A Convoy CC

S2 - Osram CSLNM1 - 5A Convoy CC

S6 - 519a 3500k dedomed - 5A Convoy CC

The boost driver (S2+ TI) and Dr. Jones (S8) are staying where they are, but I plan to replace the constant current drivers with buck drivers. I'm also going to make the S6 a triple with the same 519a 3500K dedomed, swap the 219C Triple for a spare XPL HI from my other FW3A, and trade the Osram for an SFT40; all three of those will get 8A drivers, and the others 5A.

I know the Roche isn't really a Convoy. But I got it from Simon, and they're all just tubes after all.

 

It's just a little guy, but I think it looks great on the S2+. Some bending required to get the fit right, but they do clip on securely without modification. Be careful bending though; I broke a couple where the arms meet the clip.

It does extend just past the head, but not enough to keep it from tail standing. At least if you align it with the space.

I'd still like to find another clip I like better, but so far I keep coming back to the press on convoy clip. Before this setup I had a Dr. Jones H17Fx with XHP50.3 HD and OP reflector. That setup went into an S8, which I think suits it a little better.
