Ukraine having F-16s.

I would also add that there are a lot of them on Lemmy, which is even more uncommon.

This is a great way to approach the problem.

I agree with this after writing out some more comments. It’s basically just my experience and opinion as someone who went down the EDC flashlight rabbit hole.

I respect that, and really it’s about what works for you. For whatever reason, I’ve just found my phone light to be sufficient unless I have some real “work” to do. In that case, I’ll dig out a stashed headlamp or flashlight.

I do 100% believe in dedicated lights on bikes, because that shit is treacherous at night!

I’m also young, and maybe I’ve overlooked older people having a bigger issue with low light.

I might get some downvotes and that’s okay, but I disagree for EDC.

I went down this road and found that

1. a headlamp is nice to have when needed
2. strategically placed “bright” flashlights are good (like in your car)
3. my phone is always with me, and good for 99.9% of my “normal” situations

I do think flashlights are amazing, but I didn’t like the hassle of keeping up with them day-to-day (I used an olight mini baton in my keychain for years, which now just lives in my backcountry first aid kit).

Reading through again, I do think it’s a good buy to have a flashlight, just maybe not for EDC for most people.

The federated concept as-is has been very hard for some of my friends to grasp.

How does one fix this?

No worries! It just happens to work for me early in the morning (ie. I’m really lazy), and keeps me reasonably full.

I like Soylent and related products.

If you don’t mind me asking, is it still this cheap?

Also, thanks for running that lemmy instance! I’m able to find the news I’m looking for there rather than reddit 😁
