I use a small wax heater for removing body hair. 20$ and gets the job done. If you plan to do more than one chain at a time though, it's too small. I'll probably buy a used crock pot or instant pot at some time to wax more than one chain at a time.

I'm not the one who mixes them up... The one I replied to was presenting RCV as a panacea that would help with this party voting when in fact it entrenches the most popular party and remove most chances of other party to ever win an election.

If you want smaller parties to win, RCV isn't the solution, you need proportional representation. You can combine both though, but that's not what was implied in the comment that I replied to.

No, nothing in ranked choice voting says that it becomes proportional representation. Ranked choice voting in the same first past the post system still stays first past the post. If you want proportional representation, it's not it.

This is a debated topic where I live. Our current PM would love ranked choice voting because it would solidify their position, kill most changes of a conservative victory and eliminate any chance of most other parties to have a meaningful impact on the government. That's why he abandoned the electoral reform because every commity and experts said that it would be way worse for democracy.

In French they can be. In France, no because they don't have a large repertoire of sounds. But in Quebec, all 3 E sounds different.

Yes I saw that one, I also like the presence of aux lights so when it's closed I get some lights that people can see. I was just wondering that if the optics are that small, maybe the throw wouldn't be enough. I guess it's fine. It would be quite a powerful flashlight.

Did you go with or without dome for the 519A?

The SC33 would be great, but tail switch. Not as useful for me because of the way I hold the flashlight while riding. It uses the XHP70.3 HI emitter, so I might get that type of performance in a D1K with this emitter. For the SC29, this is a great option, it checks a lot of boxes. Thanks!

Yes, I'm looking for a light that I hold in hands. So I don't think these form factor are the best for my use case. I want to aim it at the ground (I need to see holes and cracks in the road), but I also need to aim it at street signs or something I want to see in the woods for example.

It happened a few times that my Thrunite battery was all spent before getting back home. But maybe it won't happen with a 21700 though.

A 21700 is fine for the weight. I won't mind I'm fine going bigger than my Thrunite. The only thing about the SP36 is it uses 3x18650, which is quite hefty. It's hard to hold on with the wrist guards. It's doable, but if I can get a bit smaller light I can also just bring a few extra batteries if needed, it's better imo.

Thanks again for the suggestions though!

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't know about this community, just subscribed. I might post there too later. I can't find the W51 to do more research unfortunately. But I would prefer a 21700 battery since I would like to match the battery with another flashlight I have in mind for camping purpose.

I migrated from Bitwarden to 1password because I wanted something that works better on Linux. With 1password-cli and PAM integration mainly. Bitwarden worked beautifully under Windows, but once I switched over to Linux, I realised that 1password had more Linux friendly features. I track some discussions over bitwarden that talk about implementing those features, I might come back at some point.
