as the nights draw in, please save your local epileptic a trip to A&E or worse by not attaching strobe lights to your bicycle / dog / living room windows / children / clothes and encourage your friends and family to do the same 
a note on the bicycle thing: you are actually making yourself considerably more unsafe by attaching a strobe light and depending on how you've set up the rest of your lighting system and where you are in the world it might not even be legal
@nuala Yes! I don't use blinkies myself, but it's been so long since the last time this argument came up that I forgot why. So I read http://bikeleptic.com/index.php/2014/07/10/all-lit-up-redux/ to remind myself. It's a brilliant article
@g1comics ooooooooooh this is a good article
@nuala furthermore it's ANNOYING AS FUCK
@nuala Thank you for these insights!
Now why do strobe modes even exist - I believe they save a lot of battery life.
@ffeth wow that's interesting! They do also look cool lets be honest (I didn't always have epilepsy and I can remember the effect they have)
