Sine wave? Attempting to be smart again?

Albert is that you?Albert? Couldve fooled me I thought his name was Caitlyn jenner. You misinterpreted me having all the pussy. Women throw it at me, I don't personally have one.

I didn't don't have a degree in Optics, but in Acoustics....but I work for an Optics company. Light, sound, vibe, water, whatever though a wave is a wave.

You do realize I am a Physicist right? Your snowball is melted

They are 2x the money for less flexible output. Hard to swallow at this point. I want quality, but I also need output and getting it out of a smaller package is tough. I looked real seriously at all of their lights, but what they sell for $130 you can get for $70 in a competitive brand these days.The cheaper lights always seem to die on me.I've had the same problem but not sure id call olight fenix or nitecore cheap

So even if it is a nice fatty steak I should use an oil? Any particular oil? Is it worth perfecting the open air sear or should I be putting the pan in the egg and doing a pan sear? Should I still use oil with a pan sear? Also, I was considering grabbing a stainless pan that I don't mind thrashing to do searing instead of a cast iron since the BGE can produce so much heat. any fat. I sold bother with a pan.

And a Candela is made by KLA. Real shitty piece of inspection equipment that makes them $100M+/yr. I've been working on some technology to obsolete it, but it is taking TOO LONG.

Trying to sound smart and failing is worse than just sounding dumb fwiw.

Much harder to get a crust like that if you aren't on a stone or cast surface. That will surely do it. To do it though, the goal is to get it going full blast and then stop the flames by choking it some. Then you cook on the coals, not the flames. It'll surely flare with fat, so you also need to appropriately trim your meat. A healthy coating of cooking fat on the surface is your friend as well.

Notice what that steak has yours doesn't. Nice crust on the outside and COLOR on the inside. No thick grey line at the bottom either and nearly wet looking meat it is so juicy. Yum. Of course had they shaved about 15-20 deg off that steak it'd be glorious.

If you are a wimp and need it medium, here is a good example. Any more than that and I wouldn't feed it to my kids. That is on the border of being destroyed already.

Should rest for WAY longer. Either way idiotic to cut a steak so thin. The possibility of destroying it are drastically improved

You cooked that steak about 4x as long as you should. Maybe 5 or 6. I'd have thrown it out and started over.Yea yea playing with the kids..kitty time. A steak that thin takes MAYBE 4min TOTAL to cook. How did you think you had time to play.

We had pork chops. BARELY 138F. ie, probably 20-40deg cooler than your steak.

Your grill isn't hot enough either and your butcher is a moron.

Ideally a throw for the boat, but I really don't actually even need that one just an ideal thing so a compromise is okay. The bike I probably don't need that much of a light either as the trail is a whopping 300' from my house if I really need to ride.

I will look at this later but I'm general I would really recommend fenix as a brand. They really make a solid product for a good price. Sometimes they are quirky with the UI however.Olight is Foursevens and nitecore is a poor man's surefire according to what I've seen. The m22 would be the best for the lake the nitecore the bike. I don't really need that much help on the boat so the compromise will go to keeping me alive in traffic versus the insured boat off the rocks

Company policy and my reality don't match, but that isn't the point of the policy.

I have flexibility that most don't have...

My residual is $500 so almost free

Streamlight DS HL $125 with charging cradle http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BK3EXMW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER - I love the cradle but NIMH -Output is a bit low: 640 for 1h15m, 340 for 2h Olight M22 Warrior - $78 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BUG0X6E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER -I have 18650's already so that is nice, but sucks I have to remove them -Output is good, but medium which I'd probably use a lot is lower than the Streamlight: 950 for 1h, 250 for 3hr Nitecore P25 - $84 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MA1HB36/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AQ01Z7KYQQY3H -USB port .... I'd prefer a cradle but better than removing batteries -Output is great: 960 for 1h45, 605 for 2h, 200 for 7h (I expect for biking 605 will be what I use and 960 for on the boat) Fenix UC50 - $121 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JKQFV8G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AMCCGH3BJHZB5 -Cradle charger...but not an 18650 -Usable output 900 for 1.25, 415 for 2.75 Sort of makes me either want the Fenix...but I hate the proprietary battery. The cradle hanging on the garage wall is perfect as I wouldn't have the then plug anything in. Output wise I think the Nitecore wins for what I want. Aargh. Why is this so hard.

So the cost of a lease would be (down payment plus monthly payment * 36) -0 + ( maintenance (0)+ wear and tear+ lease fees) =costDon't forget the potential over mileage as well. Those fee's hurt.Iirc my dad pays extra to allow for more mileage You missed the point. You either pay for mileage you do not use or you pay extra when you use too much. It's a cost and fits in your equation. If it is all paid up front you can be blind to it and just consider it cost, but if you go over you underestimated. There is one time I've seen where a lease makes sense. My boss bought a new Toureg. His lease payment was subsidized in rate such that the sum of the lease payments + the buyout were LESS than the negotiated purchasing price. Obviously then it is a no brainer. It was a whopping $300 difference, but why not as it gave him the flexilibility to walk away. The fundamental flaw of a lease is that you are leasing a new car. This means no matter what you suffer from a depreciation hit that is huge. The second problem is you are being loaned both the value of the car and the value of the residual which is why they use a money factor instead of an APR. They have to hide it from you. Add to that the fact that the residual value is based on whole sale you get doubly fucked. Manufacturers of course realize this and subsidize it to make it work sometimes. I lease a used car. No companies do this in a normal lease fashion anymore. The lease your dad has is a CLOSED ended lease. Meaning the price of the car at the end of the lease is pre-determined. I lease used with an OPEN ended lease. This means I pick my residual value, but am also responsible. ie, if I buy a car for $50k and pick $25k as my residual at the end of the lease if the car is worth $30k I can sell it and pocket $5k, but if it is worth $20k then I owe $5k. The advantage of an open ended lease is that the money factor (APR) is usually much lower as there is no risk for the leasing company. It also allows businesses to then lease cars for the tax write off.

You're killing me. I am actually just trying to ignore those pics and posts. I have nothing to add really and I don't want to know/lust so ignoring is healthier. I do listen to tubes more than any other medium at the moment, but my amp has 2 EL-34 Groove Tubes and 5 AX7's in jackets so they are of unknown sort.
