What did you BREAK today?

You broke it already???

I was just about to fill my mug when I lamed out. That said, I’ve had bad luck with my feet. I broke my right foot 2 years ago doing something stupid. And back in the 70’s, I jumped off a roof and fractured my left heal because I got too stoned to climb down the same way I got up… Yep, I’m a piece of work…lol

I dropped the tailcap. The PCB is glue-ed in. It’s being taken care of though. I can’t say if it’s a tailcap misalignment issue or another problem. I’ll figure it out in a few days- but I will say… Illumn is amazing.

Thankfully I didn’t break anything today. If I break something at work usually a repair is in the 10’s of thousands of dollars.

There are far too few pictures in a thread of breaking things…

I’m sure it’s nothing serious. You got that right about Illumn’s customer service. They’re the best. I know that from personal experience.

Just broke the XM-L2 in my Convoy C8. I had dedomed it a few months ago but figured I could make it look a little better and lift off a sliver of silicone that was left behind. I broke both bond wires :weary:

I didn’t break anything today, but the AF sensor of my Canon 1Dx broke 2 weeks ago, it will cost me almost 800 Euro to get it repaired…

Pictures of breaking things in front of the camera (also not today).

I think I at least sprained my brain just now.

Someone please tell me where and how this driver board with build in LEDs is going to be useful?


Anyone make a transparent flashlight?

As it is a bike light you would be looking at its rear end :blush: all you would need is a hole next to the switch with a bit of clear/opaque plastic in it.

Cheers David

Ah, thank you. I hadn’t realized that bump in the middle of the driver board is a switch.

Unfortunately, yes it is a small world when people do that!

Ooh with 30°C in the shade breaking sweat is what I do now

One of those small but terribly useful bones in my ankle.

:confounded:

Be careful with those and take it seriously!!
I broke one thirty years ago and didn’t recover fully. Seriously!

I broke my Opus BT-C100 lol

LMAO, you should send that video to gearbest

Paypal told me they’d give my money back if I sent it back to GearCrap. Sending a $12 item back to China’s got to cost around $10 or more. I sent GearCrap a message to cancel my account.

Update: GearBest gave me my money back. I guess that video worked.

Well it survived for a half a year, maybe a bit more but it happened, forgot the flashlight on turbo with reflector side down for about a minute, stepdown was kicked in so for sure it was more than 45 seconds. Its okay tho, everything else survived.

FYI 30Q was inside, fresh off the charger, so this was running at 9A at the time of accident :smiley:

Dang
Friday our internet modem went crazy
Lost connection
The night before big thunderstorm
But we have a surge protect build in where the electricity comes in
And vital stuff powered by extension cords with surge protection as well (the phone line also loops through it)
So I figured must be somewhere at ISP.
Called and tomorrow somebody comes to check it out

But some bamboo has shoot up in a hedge that in itself has grown really high as well.
So armed with a bunch of different saws I started trimming things down
Putting the branches at the start of the driveway (close to where I was cutting)
In the evening a pile was formed
2 meters at the highest 5 meter at the longest.
I was tired so planned on putting it on the campfire place Saturday

Woke up Saturday with a small red disc on the skin and some irritation. Inside leg 5 cm above the knee.
It became bigger, hard, hot and painful.
In the evening painful to walk and stretch.

When bending and using force with the leg it was painful pretty short after waking up.

Must be a insect of plant.

Drank a bunch of herb tea my wife made, against inflammation and to force lots of peeing.
Used some oils to help it

So had a couple of toilet visits this night to empty the bladder.
Every time my leg was more painful
But when waking up and getting up it was a little less painful
And the hard warm red is not getting bigger today.

So my leg is kind of broken and that pile of branches (some size of small trees) is still there
It needs to be removed because no car can enter or leave now.
Will just repeat the teas and oils from yesterday and do it tomorrow.
(And dang even calendula oil does not stop the itching argh)
