I didn't even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

You're entitled to use electric flares if you want, but I will use the chemical ones.

First, I would point out that my comment is in response to your comment pointing out that electric flares may-or-may-not have a charged battery.

Second, magnesium flares have much-better visibility.

As for life, you can get longer ones, and use as many as you want; I carry three extended-size ones.

I also have a flasher on something like a 400 Wh, large lithium battery that I keep in the car, but I'm not going to rely on that to have someone not slam into me in the fog.
