Taking things to extremes..

Yes, I am certain it was. LOL… I guess that hammer they paid $435 for was made by Surefire too!!!

The seats I was referring to were not any mil spec tootsie toasters…. They were just standard ole plastic rings…

And if the stealth bomber was built out of 24k gold, it would have been cheaper!

The truth is that in the other forum this thread would have been closed right after the first posts. But if people would have managed to post all this stuff there, I would not be surprised if some bans would follow: CPF Rules and FAQs

^ I, for one, won’t last 30 seconds.

Oh dear!! Are you allowed to hover? :~

ROTFL!

Lmao!! +1

You can try, butt a little untimely air turbulence and you could wind up frozen to the seat…

Great! Now I have a visual of an anime chic trying to hover in a C130 doing barrel rolls….

I think the hammer was a specially commissioned design made of a soft type of brass so as not to spark when used in environments close to explosives. I’m not sure that article claiming they were ‘plastic’ toilet seats can really be trusted either, it’s easy to make assumptions and I don’t see any references.

It’s generally the cheapest items where the waste is highest as there are relatively fixed costs in the ‘procurement’ of an item itself. You see the same in free prescriptions from the NHS in the UK; it generally costs over £20 in administration to obtain and give someone a prescription, whether that be for a £500 life-saving treatment, or for a 50p packet of hayfever tablets. The govt has now introduced a small fee (about £7) to put people off getting cheap things on prescription and just buy over the counter instead.

Still, it’ll always be the case that people are less careful when spending other peoples money.

Especially when its the government.

Not so fast, if you are getting Surefire just so you can own one to collect, I’m still going to disagree and say Uranusfire is better! When entertaining guests or going on a camping trips, which one will bring more jokes, enjoyment and entertainment to follow?!? Plus, there are many times fewer Uranusfire lights on the market, and they are likely to go out of business once someone in China figures out another possible meaning of their name, making them a much better collection point! :wink: Get your Uranusfires while you still can!

LOL+1 :smiley:

Yes, some of the lights I order from China come to California by way of New York. Two governments involved.

i like bloody mary's.

Nick, that’s a new one for our DRINKS OP !

Slightly off topic, what is the feeling on Ledlensers here, at the “other” forum you ain’t allowed to mention the product with out getting flamed.

Really? Why is that? I think you can mention anything here. But some people may not like the light/brand, some having more or less fans than others…just opinions, and as I see it, opinions are less filtered, more reasoned out and more in favor of quality vs price here, which I think is best. But some don’t agree, and some want to buy Surefire, and that’s fine too. :slight_smile:

Just looking over that brand they appear to be pricey for the lumen output, and Ni-mh but if you dont want Li-ions maybe they are good, I dont know much about pricing for those.

Didn’t leatherman buy Ledlenser? My only knowledge of ledlenser, their prices are seem a bit high.
