To keep it flashlight related
Ah, the Nitecore TIP…
I had such high hopes for that one. Bought the CRI version with a little less output. Frankly, I liked it except for some glaring flaws like the casing being in two complete halves with edges that didn’t line up perfectly. But the real breaker for me was the parasitic drain in lockout mode. In about a week or two the light would be totally drained and that’s with minimal use (maybe a minute or two total on lower modes). Nitecore couldn’t figure this out, something they’d solved in other lights like the EC4GT. So their solution? No electronic lockout, but instead a plastic covering to protect the buttons from accidental activation. Wow, what a fail!
Somehow i like things that challenge things i am in no way able to keep up with, like math.
So things like astronomy - quantum mechanics - string theory - entropy tickle my brain, which is kinda funny cuz the reason i am bad at math is i have a very hard time learning something when it can not be properly explained to me, so saying ” thats just how it is ” well that make me shut down hard.
Maybe it is due to i do not need to know these sciences / subjects, i can just make do sitting back and marvel at its glory.
I do also enjoy watching craftsmen make just about anything, and as a machinist i can almost get sexually aroused just watching a 5 axis mill do its thing.
Hoho, I’ve seen those videos!
