For non Americans: The bullet ballot is special voting process used in some rural areas, where they hang effigies of politicians up at a range, and issue a box of bullets to each voter. The voters then line up and fire their bullets at the politicians they hate the most. The politician with the fewest holes in them at the end of the day is declared the winner.

Mass immigration from certain very "unenlightened" areas may have ruined that forever, and also brought in an ideology that is extremely hostile to LGBT people and liberal values.

I rather take $120 and buy shittons of physical media with it. There's a fire sale on it everywhere right now because everyone is dumping it.

Disturbing, that's right outside Gay 90s.

Such a letdown, I had hoped that with the downfall of Twitter people would finally kick their addictions to vapid trash media.

The coddling is a fairly recent thing. People born in the late 90s is who it started with, about the time that 24hr ~~propaganda~~ news channels became a thing.

Outlook 2010 is better than this new office 365 shit too.

Absolutely, yes, I've had it disabled since the first W10 feature update. It gets harder with every new release, but it is doable.

You need to manually disable these services with Regedit

-Update Orchestrator (UsoSvc)

-Windows Update Medic Service (WaaSMedicSvc)

-Windows Update (wuauserv)

-Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate + edgeupdatem)

-Microsoft Edge Elevation Service (MicrosoftEdgeElevationService)

Then you need to go into Task Scheduler and disable all the tasks under the services listed above. I'd also suggest not using Edge, as it will now aggressively repair Windows Update, even with all this stuff disabled.

Also, in an attempt to provide some comparison data, and to find out what is too heavy to comfortably carry, I have weighed an arbitrary selection of common lights to compare it to the E07X.

Based on these results, the weight is good, the flashlight is balanced well, and it feels good in the hand. I'd say the E07X fits nicely in the large coat/hoodie pocket carry category. It's fat head and thick tube make it uncomfortable in a pants pocket however, so you'll want to make use of the clip and clip it to a belt/webbing/pouch etc. Overall I'm impressed with it, it's a solid addition to my lineup, the new FFL emitters are spectacular, and I appreciate the improvements over the old E07.

All weights are with a full complement of batteries

Lights:
Acebeam X45: 710g
BLF LT1: 626g
Emisar D18: 480g
Sofirn SP36: 432g
Noctigon K1: 378g
E07 TiCu: 310g
Emisar D4SV2 (26800): 260g
Sofirn SP33S: 238g
-> E07X Canon: 200g <-
Emisar D4k (Mule): 136g
Sofirn IF19: 94g
Sofirn SC21: 58g

Batteries:
26800: 116g
26650: 96g
21700: 66g
18650: 44g

For All Mankind (1989)

  • Not Rated

  • 1h 20m

An in-depth look at various NASA moon landing missions, starting with Apollo 8.

The decade long Apollo Program was the largest and most expensive undertaking in the history of Man that wasn't devoted to a war. During the four years between December 1968 and November 1972 there were nine manned flights to the Moon. Twenty four men made the journey; twelve actually landed on the lunar surface. They were the first human beings to leave the planet Earth for another world.
