The There Are No Stupid Questions Thread

I am confused about the prices of double AA penlights vs some of the 18650 rechargeable ones that come with batteries .

I purchased a Sofirn SF13 a while back and I think I paid 10 or 11 bucks for it .

I see on Amazon you can get a 1000 lumen, double OSRAM with a 2600mAh battery for $10.99

It seems the AA’s would be much cheaper or the other much more expensive

Even the better penlights that are 20-30 dollars seem pricy vs the 18650’s that are budget priced and come with batteries .

Why do yanks still use the ancient imperial system for measurements?

Will it explode their brains to join the rest of the planet and use the metric system?

Hey, we have 2ℓ bottles of sody-pop, so there!

We use what we’re told to use and what is around us constantly. Same as you. I think any complaints you have should be directed towards the government.

Isn’t this a Q and A thread? I’m not complaining, was hoping for an actual answer to my question

I don’t think there’s anyone from the US government on this forum that can answer you.

Damn, thought I might find Arnold Schwarzenegger or Kanye West on here…

Yep, it’s not a question that can be answered by the citizens.

:beer:

I have no idea how legit that light and battery are but there are a lot of products that can be made and sold dirt cheap if you don’t care about the quality or brand. Here is a pack of penlights (no batteries though) for about $18:

Its cheap as hell but doesn’t mean I’d want it for personal use.

The water content in weeds is very high. Water doesn’t like to burn.

I use a propane torch on graveled areas instead of herbicides to avoid chemicals.

I only singe the weeds very quickly with the torch and that is enough to kill the exposed foliage from the interior moisture in the weed bursting the plant's cells.

The weeds do grow back since the roots do not heat up enough to be killed but after a few times getting the foliage's attention with the torch about once a week the weeds do seem to eventually die.

Or a single squirt of Round Up lol…

I put Reeses Cups in the freezer so a cold Halloween might not be a bad thing .

Why doesn't the rest of the world get rid of the metric system ?

If the mind is the devils playground .. Does that explain the monkey bars and the slide inside my head ?

<< that's evil right there !

How very American of you :smiley:

Don’t you know that the US already is using the metric system?

They just like to convert it back to the imperial system.

Girls push!

Chemicals are quicker but could make you sicker and also maybe richer:

There are alternatives…plus after paying 10 billion you think they haven’t rectified the problem?

What ?? You have rectifying problems ?
