I like beans

Alternative TS10 clip from Wurkkos for 1$. It is great.

saw many posts on reddit were people registered and could not log in, did not get confirmation mail, had too long names/PW issues… I could not register first, worked at the second or third attempt.

That book is by Steward Cowley,1978 Was lucky to find a copy in great condition a while back. It was one of my favourite books when I was a kid.

Here are a couple more pics… https://the-haunted-closet.blogspot.com/2011/09/spacecraft-2000-to-2100-ad-stewart.html?m=1

Lemmy is absolutely easy to use. once you created an account. But a lot of people have problems with that.

“Terran Trade Authority Handbook: Spacecraft 2000 – 2100 AD” - it is full with cool spaceships like this… I love this book.

Flashlight. I use it more often than my knife.

A knife is more essential of course, but still. I can open most stuff with hands, teeth or other tools, but I cannot see in the dark.

I think you should check out https://lemmy.world/c/flashlight :)

yes, get one for your Alu TS10 as well.

It is only 1$ and makes the light soooo much better. I ordered one extra just incase I break one or I might put it on another light

I got a free diffusor with my Copper TS10, you dont need to order these extra.

dont forget code JULY10 for 10% off

yes, this is confusing. if you choose “TS10” and “black”, you get the 2-way black clip I have on my light in the picture. I guess “silver” is the original clip, which is too short.

dont worry, the alu one is above excellent as well! I wish the alu version had a 3000k option as well.

I also replaced the stock clip with this one from wurkkos, can recommend that. carries deeper in the pocket and clips better to a hat…

yes, it gets that patina over time and dings and scratches just add character, but you can always “reset” and get it back to shiny if you want. (I usually just take a little ketchup and a cloth and wipe it and it will look almost like new)

orange is my fave aux color. all my TS10 have orange aux. I had red but red is dimmer, so I sold it. go for it :)

as I said… about the weight of an alu 18650 light… now I took my kitchen scale and checked…

copper TS10 weighs 98gram according to my kitchen scale. my alu FW3A weighs exactly the same! (both with cells)

a Zebra SC64 weighs 88g. Emisar D4 alu with stainless bezel weighs 120g, Alu Convoy T3 with 14500 is 74g - all with cells and clips.

regular TS10 with cell is about 50 gram

but the added weight just feels “nice and dense” in hand, not overly heavy. I dont notice the difference in the pocket. it makes a difference though when I clip it on my hat. my regular TS10 actually replaced my headlamp. I can still do it with the CU version, but I notice the difference.

you should. copper is fun because it is always changing. the 3000k looks great as well. I got mine for less than 30$. Absolutely worth it. I carried a silver one with 4000k and orange aux daily since the day it was released. TS10 is my fave light for sure.

I will still use reddit but not post any pictures there anymore as it is annoying to do without RIF and I wont be using their reddit app. Very easy here on Lemmy!
