Just a data point, I have a $800 watch (Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire) that has a built in LED flashlight, including a red hue. I bought it to have backup GPS in off grid situations and for health and activity tracking, but tbh the feature I would never want to give up is the flashlight. I use it all the time and it’s, frankly, invaluable. I’m not sure if other smart watches have good flashlights, but they should. I almost never use my phone flashlight as a result.
Me too! I thought it would be somewhat gimmicky but I use my Garmin flashlight all the time. For instance I was just trekking in South America and at camp while everyone else was using headlamps to get around at night, constantly shining lights in each others' eyes I could use the more subtle watch light to get up and find the toilet, etc.
Apple Watches also have a "flashlight" feature, including a red light mode for SOS and running modes, but they just turn on the screen to full white or red output with some brightness controls. It's not a dedicated LED emitter like yours appears to be but it's sufficient for finding things in the dark or not tripping on something.
Hunting laws in general vary state by state but for the most part you can’t just go out and kill any random thing flying around. There generally has to be some sort of formal designation that a species can be hunted. Otherwise don’t kill it.
There's absolutely nothing stopping me from killing ants, or even stopping my cat from killing rats. Hunting is regulated, but it's not all species by default.
Right now is an exceptionally good time to be a Ruby developer. There are so many jobs that pay well and the Stripes and the Shopifys of the world are eating all the great talent up.
I've been noticing how many recruiters have been reaching out to me with Ruby jobs. I try and explain that "Yes, I did Rails 2.3 and 3.x back in the day - but that was a LONG time ago". That doesn't seem to dissuade them in the slightest. Now, on one hand, recruiters are a hungry bunch. On the other, it's interesting to me how big of a need this is right now.
My guess is, that a ton of this stuff was built in the 2010s. Those Ruby developers have moved on... leaving a ton of infra behind. There's a desperate need for folks to come in and get to work on it. Most of these shops say things like, "all of our new stuff is in Elixir, but we still need to support all the old Rails stuff"
All I can say is, it's probably better than coming in to support VB... or COBOL!
An important addendum is that if you leave any part of the knife exposed (such as knife on the inside of pocket, but clip on the outside) that is considered "brandishing" and can trigger a stop by the police. This is a common pretext for a stop and frisk.
When I lived there I switched to a Case folding knife so I wouldn't accidentally run afoul of this law.
