Good question. I was wondering the same about underwear...should I go strategic or tactical?

@thomasfuchs Toxic masculinity.

@thomasfuchs They help you see now. They don’t help you see into the future.

There *is* a strategic one, but be careful what you wish for...

@thomasfuchs I think an operational flashlight would be practical, but a grand strategical flashlight sounds fancy

@thomasfuchs My pacifist torch is quite the thing.

@thomasfuchs This thing and a trolley, probably. https://egopowerplus.com/portable-area-light-lt1000/

@thomasfuchs

Tactical means it's big and heavy enough to beat somebody with.

Strategic means it's small and useful for looking at maps, perhaps with a red lens to save your night vision.

@thomasfuchs then there’s classical flashlights which perform far better than the b-roke ones.

@thomasfuchs If you have a fusion powered razor, you simply must also have a tactical flashlight.
