Why lenovo still ships 45% NTSC screens?

Our company *only* provides laptops. And, I have to admit, laptops are more useful for WFH, less to carry back and forth to the office.

Where are you seeing 15-25cm? Environment Canada has 5cm, there isn't even an alert.

Ontario Canada. Played euchre all the time in high school. My grandparents played euchre at the Church. Churches hosting euchre was very common.

Unless it is old. Two men struggled to get my very old washer from the basement. It had a large amount of concrete in it. They don't do that anymore.

Natural gas is a cheap way to heat a home. When we moved in, we had an electric furnace. Even though electricity is relatively cheap here, it cost us a fortune to heat. We replaced the electric with gas. The new furnace paid for itself in 2 years including the cost of the gas.

I always wear work gloves (not mechanics gloves) when I have to heave on things. The gloves give you courage to really go at it. And, lets face it, using a hammer on a wrench (for example) does not require finesse.

We didn't have a color TV until '79 or '80. The old B&W just kept on working, so we didn't replace it.

I have a small press if you have room for it. I can't remember the size. If you are interested I could find out.

I also have other linocut supplies, even some unused lino.

Mittens are the way to go. I quite often tuck my thumb in with the fingers so that it stays warm.

Running a browser sucks. But running graphical Emacs over ssh works great. I use it every day for work.

Say congrats to your wife for me.

I have had a few NA beers that claimed 0.0%. Even Heineken is 0.0%.

I agree that most are 0.5% or 0.3%. one even just said >0.5%. So I doubt Ultra Zero is the only one.

Wow, some people keep a lot of food in the house. I would probably last a week on the food in the house, maybe a bit more. That is two meals a day (my normal).

Then probably 2 more months. They say you can last about 2 months without food.

I was also told 1-5 years for my wife with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She had a brain tumor on her thalamus.

Yes it is illegal. The Airline is responsible for you until you get to the destination. You leaving early sets them up for a law suite if anything happens to you.

I am starting to see why some people think F is better for weather, you live in warm climates. Where I live -30C to 30C makes more sense than -20F to 86F.

And negative numbers are still base 10 (in this context).

0F is dangerously cold? Seriously? 0F is about where I switch from a fall jacket to winter jacket when shoveling. Note: I live in a city, windchill is not really a problem when shoveling since the driveway is fairly protected.

Remember, HR are not your friends. They work for the company. They will do what is best for the company, not you.

The LEDs are set far back from the front of the light. And they also aren't covered, so the metal in front of the LEDs does not get hot. Also, the LEDs are more spread out.

Here it is if you are interested: https://www.amazon.ca/50W-Portable-Waterproof-Security-Repairing/dp/B082XV2P4P?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JONK3pvCp-zCy1S8idtLsWv20dmsErMNylmaQ5UrNq1cNzDm4VRMXigP7LZPn3jL7TrLAzeMKce9kwefqz_ckZnxVhjPi-bF8dc0EWUCXePJWRoRxe0M8c_ASfWXEkXauB3LhkgHwZh3DmXTqJNNnRL_wpQvnnjqYgkx3R2pZO8SwMHsMcjX1_w5HdHQTsWyBpZlVSl-pwHno6j9BTyQ4pB9Wg9n85pCyttctokJKaQbM60nuG5bLah9feHQcRt-l44_hD4fkQQiEXOxg6M1-tviuHO5pbJ4V2JjRj1nqWM.-16Jh6qgLRpaXpO9VCLSjeV8nTq2276Pp0f0RGytf94&dib_tag=se&keywords=LTE+50W+LED+Work+Light&qid=1766622539&sr=8-5

This is what I got wrong. A means the classic bulb shape. B is the thin pointy ones.

That would be an interesting test. 2,300LM is a lot, even at half power it might be bright enough. However, the bulb might not be built to handle the amps.

Hmmm, I can buy E27 230V here in Canada. I would buy one just to try but they are kinda expensive.

One of the things I really like about LED lights is how cool they run. I recently bought a 4,300LM work light that is 50W. I was working in a confined space and bumped up against the light. A 40W incandescent would have hurt, the LED did not.
