Selene Toykeeper never disappoints with flashlight firmware update notes.

A text post from the subreddit r/flashlight discussing hardware-specific changes adding breathing modes to certain lights with an aw2016 chip. It mentions options like "breathing," "fast breathing," and "heavy breathing."

I turned in my ballot weeks ago and so far nobody with a filled circle next to their name has disappointed me. If anything I've been more impressed with our statehouse candidates as the race comes to a close.

@cetan I have my complaints but on the flip side the insulation is top notch and the heat pump has kept our heating and cooling costs way lower (adjusted for inflation) than any of our older houses. For most fall days we can let the sun warm the south side with the windows open and cost on that […]

@heidilifeldman I'm disturbed by the number of otherwise sensible people whose reaction is "screw Comey; his ineptitude cost Clinton the presidency". This isn't about "karmic justice for Comey", it's about LEGAL justice for everyone, not to mention scaring future Comeys into submission.

This is the first house I've owned that was built less than fifty years before I purchased it, so the first time in my life as a homeowner that I'm dealing with "builder grade" materials and installations.

BBC snitches on Trump for blowing off a deposition Friday claiming matters of national importance, which turned out to be campaigning for Mike Collins. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As the Motion explains, Plaintiff President Donald J. Trump’s deposition was, after
much foot-dragging, initially scheduled for October 16, 2026. On September 28, 2026,
however, Plaintiff’s counsel informed the BBC that “the President is no longer available for his
deposition on October 16 due to other matters of national importance.” See ECF 181-2 at 3.
Plaintiff’s claim to be unavailable on any date before the close of discovery led the BBC to file
its Motion. On October 16, the Court granted that Motion (ECF 182) and set the issue for
hearing on October 22.
The BBC submits this Notice to raise newly available information regarding the
“matters of national importance” that Plaintiff claimed kept him from his scheduled deposition.
As the BBC now knows, on October 16, Plaintiff attended and addressed a campaign rally in
Dalton, Georgia, alongside Plaintiff’s favored candidates in Georgia’s upcoming U.S. Senate and gubernatorial elections.1
Plaintiff subsequently traveled to his resort club and residence at
Mar-a-Lago for a Republican National Committee fundraising event.2
