OLight took their already-overachieving OClip 2 Ultra, slapped “Premiem” on an already long list of adjectives in its name. The Ultra 2 introduces a wealth of new features, in addition to its 580-lumen flood / 450-lumen spot, and new dual red/UV beam emitter.
It has a 360° rotating clip with detents, allowing you more flexibility in where you clip it. The head tilts to 115°, allowing you more flexibility and control of the direction of the beams. Clip it to a hat brim, pocket, pack strap, or steel surface and actually point the light where you need it instead of illuminating your shoes and half your face. You have 3 new ways to charge the unit: a USB-C port under an IPX6 hatch on the side, and a magnetic charging circle compatible with OLight flashlights.
The Premium adds a snap-on charging base to the Ultra 2 package. This charging base has its own USB-C port but also functions as a stand-alone power bank, effectively doubling the OCLip Ultra 2’s runtime.
OLight’s Ultra model flashlights are made with OAL aluminum alloy, which OLight claims to be nearly twice as hard as 6061. And their Ultra also features the highest battery capacity of their respective models (at least until they make another leap in technology and I guess they start adding numbers).
If you liked the original OLight but wished it allowed a little more control over the direction of the beam, the Ultra 2 is a welcome upgrade.
DiscoveryOpt makes high-quality scopes at a remarkably low price. The same value and performance are present in its scope rings. Their 6061 Precision Multi-Dimension scope rings are CNC machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, offering rock-solid reliability and strength.
The rings come with precision-machined shims, which allow the 34mm rings to hold 30mm tubes when attached. The precision rings and their shims are machined in pairs from a single piece of aluminum for accuracy and consistency. The rings are assembled with high-strength T-20 torx screw with designed with built-in recoil lugs in their bases.
These scope rings are serialized, vibratory tumbled, hand-bead blasted and finished with a Type III hard coat anodize, achieving a durable finish with exceptional scratch and impact resistance. The ring’s inner bore is pre-polished.
If all of this wasn’t impressive, perhaps its most unbelievable aspect is that all of this costs $25.
I went to the Weird Al at SMC (Fresno State’s Save Mart Center arena). It was part of the Bigger and Weirder Tour with Puddles Pity Party as the opening act. Unlike most music concerts I’ve been to, it felt more like going a table-top-gaming convention.
Weird Al and his band sang in sync to projected footage of his music videos. Visually, his concert was somewhat underwhelming, leaning heavily on projected footage of the music videos of his songs. Al’s vocal abilities are often overlooked and underrated, especially his rapping ability. The musical performances were excellent, and the evening was one of the most fun and positive concerts I’d attended.
Sadly I had to cut out some of the footage from my videos because of Copyright limitations.

This week, videos started showing up on my feed, with a blonde anime girl in a Harry Potter student uniform with the word “Malfoid”. I decided to click one and bam, I dropped into a weird but ultimately cool Rabbit Hole.
Malfoid is the name of a new internet trend that is the center of a Venn Diagram of Harry Potter, AI, Anime, and also Woke Politics because nowadays anything entertaining has to offend some community on Blue Skey.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Malfoid is the term given to the internet meme and fan art trend of a female Draco Malfoy instead of the original male character (played by actor Tom Felton in the movies)
Malfoid is a portmanteau combination of Malfoy and the incel term “femoid”. Whether this was coined as a derogatory term by Blue Sky Redditors against the popularity of the trend or used ironically by fans is debated.
Also oddly, in the Malfoid content, the character is not called Malfoid but simply named “Malfoy”. By the way, in my research it appears that FanFic female versions of the Draco character are more commonly named Draconica, Dracaena, or Draconia.
Fan-generated fiction aka FanFic, that expands on the Harry Potter story and characters has been around since the books first came out in the late 1990s. A common sub-genre is called shipping (derived from the word “relasionSHIP”). And another common sub-genre is gender-swapping characters (ie. What if Harry Potter was Harriet Potter?). None of this is new.
On September 22, an anime version of a female Malfoy was posted on X by @redten and it went viral with over 20M views. https://x.com/redteneri
It inspired the trend that others would term Malfoid. In less than a month, there has been an explosion of fanfic short stories, art, anime, and even AI videos like these.

One side of this popularity is the outrage and hate this character is receiving among haters on Blue sky and Reddit. Claiming it’s misogynistic or a Manosphere dog whistle. It seems like they’re upset with anything supporting anything organically cute and attractive to heterosexual men, especially if its supporting JK Rowling because they consider her transphobic. Whatever. Haters gonna hate.
But on the fan side, I find this level of creative output inspiring. I like the Tsundere character of Malfoy better than Harry’s canonical wife, Ginny Weasley.
Malfoid got a lot more aura, and I root for her like Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice or Helga in Hey Arnold! And she’s kind of hot in a femme-fetal kind of vibe, like Femke Jensen in 007’s GoldenEye. As @SmugAlana put it in her livestream on the subject, by changing Malfoy into a Tsundere girl, normie guys finally get why women were into Malfoy.
Also, I find the level of artfulness in these AI-generated anime and “live-action” to be surprisingly good.
Based on the story and comic by @Grin2702 and writing by @Axolotl52032346 (post in replies) If you like this please follow them, as it would not possible otherwise, I'm not able to come up with as good of stories.

This book company’s mascot is Clifford the Big Red Dog, is one of its best-selling franchises since its debut in 1963. It is also notable for publishing The Hunger Games, Goosebumps, and the Harry Potter series.
SVBony keeps making optics that force you to check the price tag twice. The SA207 is a compact 8x scope with ED glass with a light weight magnesium chassis and the features you’d find in binoculars double or quadruple the price.
The ED glass deliver high-fidelity color with very little fringing, even off-axis. Weight is average but lighter than you’d expect. Nothing feels cheap or rattly.
It’s not a Swarovski or Zeiss, but it doesn’t pretend to be—and the street price under $300 makes this a good value
The new OSight K GN is physically identical to the red dot version of the OSight K. The large 6MOA dot is preferred by many combat professionals and competition shooters because the larger dot is more visible in bright daylight and faster to reacquire in rapid fire.
Like the original K, this budget reflex sight has a RMSc footprint compatible with CCW pistols and slim-profile slides like the 1911. It is powered by a user-replaceable CR1620 coin battery in a side tray. It comes with a wide selection of install screws and a cool skull-shaped Torx wrench.
Like many people, I’ve grown to hate and fear clowns. But one clown has a mesmerizing tenor voice.
Weird Al’s “Bigger and Weirder Tour’s” opening act was Puddles Pity Party. Puddles is a 7ft tall Pagliacci clown and an amazing singer. Puddles is concept performance act created by musical artist Mike Geier. He first gained attention as part of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live Tour in 2010. In 2013 his video went viral after fronting Postmodern Jukebox’s cover of Lord’s “Royals”. And in 2017 he appeared on America’s Got Talent.

This bank is the 8th largest in the world. While a British bank, it it is larger in Asia than in Europe. It’s popular name is its 4 initials.
The Outrider is something most people do not expect from a tactical long-range scope company like Arken: fudd. The Outrider is a traditional hunting scope: second focal plane duplex reticle, and capped low-profile turrets.
When Arken released their first 2-12×42 Outrider, it was generally praised, but there was a common complaint: the Outrider lacked an adjustable parallax focus. Arken listened, and quickly released the Outrider 3-18×50.
The Outrider features edge-to-edge sharpness and a color-accurate image. They offer an illuminated fiber optic center dot that is daylight-bright and a cheaper model without illumination. It has a good eyebox and is pretty lightweight, especially compared to Arken’s other scopes. Moreover, the Outrider is covered under Arken’s U.S. lifetime warranty.
My only remaining criticism is the Outrider could be improved by adding discrete BDC stadia to the vertical reticle stem for elevation holdover; a standard feature with Vortex, Burris, and Zeiss hunting scopes. But ask 10 different people their opinion on a reticle, and you’ll get 20 different opinions.
For those looking for a Arken quality for practical hunting instead of long-range competition, the Outrider is your scope.
The SV29 is a budget 25-75×80 mm spotting scope aimed at target shooters, birders, and anyone who wants high magnification without paying a premium-price. I got the tripod starter kit which comes with an SVBony light tripod, and a phone adapter for taking photos and video. In addition, the scope has a Vixen-style dovetail so you can slap on a red-dot or optical finder, a feature usually only found in astronomy telescopes.
The 1.25″ eyepiece is detachable, so you can swap in astronomical or electronic eyepieces from 3rd parties and SVBony. The tripod kit includes a forgetable but basic, light weight aluminmum tripod. While there are higher quality spotting scopes, I haven’t found many as good or feature packed as the SV29 for a street price under $200.
