Your phone can’t put out 4000 lumens
Is that a challenge ?
And it never needs to.

Thank you, kind stranger.
I love the small but powerful LED lights that can light up an entire room. Was able to impress a few people in just the right moment with those and always have one with me.
This is similar to the feeling I got a few days ago when I finally got to use the shopping cart wheel unlocker that’s been in the back of my mind since watching the Defcon talk about it. Instead of the misconfigured and disabled cart being a giant roadblock in the store I was able to take it and use it normally. Feels good.

Where the heck y’all live where the power goes out so often?
I’m in the middle of the frozen tundra in Canada, we’re powered entirely by renewable energy, we’ve got snow storms, blizzards, floods and some serious thunder storms and I can’t even recall the last time we lost power for any noticeable amount of time. If anything having to reset the clock on the microwave is the only reason I’d know it went out. There’s talk of moving to a smart grid system because ours is dated, so wtf are you people working with?
I do love me a good flashlight though, I’ve got a couple around the house just in case and one in my bag at all times.
Likely Texas, they have a private grid(as far as I last checked) and are prone to rolling blackouts.
I am also in Canada. Our province runs the power grid on coal and sold the utility to a private company that doesn’t bother with the expense of upkeep on infrastructure. They built a sweet skating rink though.
Energy in Canada should be a crown corp. I’ll fight you over that one!
Uh, I agree?
Damn straight you do!
Energy distribution in Canada should be a crown corp. I’ll fight you over that one.
In Florida we lose power during storms very regularly. After one particularly bad hurricane we lost power for weeks.
Weeks? That’s fucking insane. A neighbourhood might lose power for a few hours during a major storm up here but I can’t think of the last time it was a day. I was probably a kid, 30 years ago.

That’s probably why. For example, Hydro One uses old equipment and doesn’t give a fuck about maintaining their aging equipment so it all just breaks catastrophically eventually, especially during bad weather. Transformers blow fairly often in bad weather tbh.
I get so aggravated by video games with weak flashlights. Like, we live in an age where my keychain flashlight can light up the nearest mountain.
I have solar panels and a backup battery. I was actually disappointed when the power didn’t go out when it got cold here in Texas last week.

I value having good tools. I bring a small flashlight when I travel. How often have I needed it? Not often, but when your in some hotel and the power goes out, it’s my time to shine!
Hell yes, it’s good to be prepared!

I have three niblings (2 nephews, 1 niece). Each one is getting a flashlight and a tiny Nitecore whistles when they get to a certain birthday, not sure which age yet. I know their parents would never forgive me if I gave them the whistles now.
The power was off for a little over two days, so we used our flashlights and other lights a lot. It really doesn’t take much money to prepare. A lot of the gooseneck lamps these days use USB, so you can combine a lamp and a power bank to create a task light away from the backup battery.
I can tell you from experience of being a boy scout camp counselor: Do NOT give whistles to minors!
Tho tbh, would’ve probably helped with what was happening in scouts in the 80s.
Yeah, I was probably going to wait until 18 for the whistle. It’s not as loud as a pea whistle, but it’s still annoying. The only reason I would ever give it to them earlier would be because we’re in an area that is under threat of a Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake. But if they’re just going to get it taken away because they can’t control themselves, it’s not going to be much use. For this particular whistle it is hard to produce a nice satisfying screech, though I suppose they might just take that as a challenge.
For the flashlight, I was thinking more like 15 or 16. The only risk there is losing it, but it’s cheap so that’s kind of their call on whether they value it enough to replace it.
I’m not like a full prepper but I have a rechargeable flashlight in every room of the house in case the power goes out…
Not because it does often but because I stub my toes on shit even with the lights on and I’m not going through the gauntlet in the dark.

This is like the r/edc guys whipping out their knives at every opportunity or r/guns hoping some day they can justify shooting someone
One of these things is not like the others.
