The There Are No Stupid Questions Thread

Yep, that one too, or its twin ā€œoā€™dark-thirtyā€.

Sadly that doesnā€™t answer the main question.

Wellp, ā€œeveā€ (ā€œeveningā€) was always considered ā€œthe night beforeā€, presumably when people were still up and about.

ā€œChristmas Eveā€, ā€œNew Yearā€™s Eveā€, ā€œAll Hallowā€™s Eveā€ (Halloweā€™en), etc., are well-known examples.

Midnight was when the day would change (ie, no longer Christmas Eve but Christmas Day), so that limits the ā€œeveā€ part to before midnight, but when still dark.

Why only the nighttime before, and not include the afternoon or the whole day before? ā€™Cause itā€™d be called ā€œDay Before Christmasā€, then.

Just tell me when it is beer-thirty.

Funny you mention it, as I just knocked off some Warsteiner. My treat for todayā€¦

Iā€™m about to grab a brew myself. Cheers.

:beer:

Would someone suggest a 12V car charger that is pro-rated for a 10A draw? :+1:

TIA

I have not heard the expression All Hallowsā€™ Eve in many moons . I was beginning to think it faded into obscurity .

Oh, no. Iā€™m keeping it alive, even if I have to do it all by myself.

Already cold as hell for Oct and several inches of snow on the ground here, doubt there would be hardly anyone out Trick or Treating regardless unless the weather takes a sudden turn.

Still teeshirt weather here, but I think Iā€™ll put out a biohazard sign so no oneā€™ll bug me.

Just gotta love the mothers who put spiderwebs and lipstick on their babies in carriages, then go trick-or-treating.

Like a baby with 3 teeth in its whole head is gonna eat candy. Yah, right. You know whoā€™s gonna be engorging on ā€œfun-sizeā€ candybars that nightā€¦

umā€¦is keeppower the same as LG? cuz i got this as a free gift when i ordered ft03 off of BG, and it says keeppower, but also LG HG2

Here in NJ the governor sent out a complex set of rules he would like followed pertaining to the handing out of candy , going door to door , ect.

I hope it is cold enough for me to break out my gorilla suit . Last year it was too warm .

I thought north country folks were tuff, like polar bears.
Lutherans, correct?

No, LG makes the battery, Keeppower resells it. Keeppower resells several brands and sometimes adds protection circuits.

so these ones i linked are just straight up LG batteries? i dont need to worry about it being branded keeppower?

This picture, right?

It looks like an OEM LG battery. I donā€™t know what the connection to Keeppower is. Typically Keeppower will at least rewrap the cell with their name on it. Itā€™s possible you have a fake HG2 cell. The only way to be sure you get genuine cells just to get it from a reputable source. In your case I would try to measure itā€™s capacity to see if itā€™s around 3000 mAh (drain only to 2.80v then recharge and should be around 2800 mAh) Try it in some lights. If it works well, keep using it. If you have a clamp style ammeter you can measure the amp draw on turbo and see if it matches what other people have measured. If itā€™s way less amperage, then it might be a weak fake. If itā€™s very similar amperage, then it might be legit.

Has anyone seen my other sock?

Do BG sell fake batteries? I thought they were pretty legit since they dont have 3rd party sellers. But this being free kinda seems a bit sketchy, altho it is only 1 battery, and i think its for new userā€™s first order, so its not that unreasonable either

Yeah, itā€™s over there.
