If you’d like to continue your education, its actually an acronym. I’ll leave it as a link because its not exactly family-friendly in its fully explained state: SNAFU - Wikipedia
I never said I didn’t like him Jason, I’ve had multiple Personal dealings with him that he skewed. Direct dealings, no way to blame it on anyone but Neal. Believe how you wish.
I won’t be buying one period. My initial interest was in support of Fritz, that light no longer exists. If I still want it, I’ll make it myself… I bowed out a long time ago when the original light died…
I live near a military installation. Seems like I’ve heard SNAFU all my life… Situation Normal, All F’d Up. ( we can call that fracked if you wish, close enough for government work)
Edit: sorry, I was thinking in terms of oil extraction and wasn’t aware of modern translation. To me it means broken, fractured, messed up virtually beyond repair. But yes, it’s a vulgar term coined by frustrated disgruntled soldiers.
A difference in culture? I’m quite sure my original post does not call for censorship, and yes you are definitely entitled to a “tread with caution” warning, but it need not specifically insult certain individuals based mostly on opinion. I’m not suggesting anything contrary to western culture, basically treat your Neighbour as you would want to be treated yourself, nothing more.
The way most logical arguments are rebuffed these days seems to be to push their logic all the way to the most extreme version possible to make the original argument seem illogical
The first time I heard it was in the movie “Saving Private Ryan”. They went to a lot of trouble making that movie more historically accurate than any WWII movie had ever been before, so I am quite confident the term dates back at least as far as the 40’s.
Please remove me from the list. The list in the TLF is now updated.
Thank you very much for your efforts and apologies for the chaos caused.

I don’t need this, but what the heck. It’s an impressive collaboration, and the tail e-switch is neat. Put me down for one with LH351’s.
I missed the discussion surrounding emitters - was SST-20 ever considered? I’ve been pretty happy with them in smaller TIR lights. I don’t mean to say that an established decision should be reconsidered or anything, I’m just curious. It’s a swap I might consider down the road, if they weren’t specifically rejected for some reason.
It definitely seems worth trying a swap, given the low cost a triple board with SST-20’s can be had for. I’m hoping to compare it LH351D’s and SST-20’s and decide which I like better.
I think the SST-20 is a great option for a future update. I will definitely put SST-20s in one of mine.
It wasn’t yet known to this community when voting on the emitters for the FW3A took place, and trying to add an additional option now would only delay production.
