Yes, you are right, but I meant the safety shutoff mechanism. Normally it just cuts the power to all dangerous stuff or brings it to a safe state. Here it's not "cutting the power to the magnet", it's physically releasing the helium and damaging the superconductor in the process.

Yeah, I can imagine someone thinking it's entirely electrical shitting their pants too a sound of Smaug roaring.

If it's not baked that actually sounds delicious.

Aaaand it's people like you who make other people hate vegans.

But remember. Most stereotypical metalheads know that their masculinity isn't defined by something like this. I've seen metalheads with beards and long hair absolutely slay in skirts and dresses.
I really love when "the stereotypical metalhead" is pulled out for masculinity comparisons because most I know don't give a shit about masculinity and just want to be themselves. And I love that.
If a cute and goofy name of a pancake can make someone insecure for ordering it, then they suffer really huge insecurities.

That's how zombies are created.

At Aperture Science we boop the whole snoot, not just the Nose. That's 40% more boop per snoot!

While I agree that this would certainly be interesting I don't really know how this could work. First of all: Real current sensing can only really be done with a constant current driver. Not saying that this would be accurate but this should indeed work for an estimation. But now the first problem arises: Most CC drivers also include a FET for turbo and/or the higher range of the ramp. The moment this switches on you're out of luck. Another option would be to add a sense resistor. This - again - would surely work to measure current. But you now have the problem that you introduce an (unnessisary) resistance in the driver, limiting the output of the flashlight (if it includes a FET). And lastly I just think that while it surely sounds like a cool feature it's just not something most flashlight enthusiasts would use regularly. Altering the flashlight circuit for a feature some people may use once or twice out of curiosity with a given flashlight does not seem reasonable and ToyKeeper IIRC has many things on her to do list that she wants to implement. Since this is such a nieche feature that (for what I know) would need hardware modifications on many flashlights out there, I don't think that this will get implemented.

I'm really picky when it comes to clocks. They need to be ±1 minute. If they aren't it really starts to bother me.
