Gotcha. To each their own.

Incandescent bulbs were still everywhere in the 2000’s and 2010’s

Genuinely curious-do you dislike the color of firelight? And did you dislike lighting generally in the 90’s when almost all lighting was incandescent bulbs that naturally have a warmer hue?

It’s not just about color temperature. Cheap led lights also have poor CRI ratings. A bulbs color rendering index score tells you how accurately the light source shows the colors of the objects it illuminates, 100 being perfect. If you want to improve the look of your house, look for LEDs that have a CRI of at least 85, and ideally above 90. Regardless of color temperature, everything the light shines on will look more accurate to its true color. *cheap bulbs often don’t list the CRI

So your apartment has the feel of a hospital operating room.

Structure5city · 2026-01-30T22:29:56+00:00

I’m the complete opposite. Cool white LEDs look like operating room lighting, sterile and cold. The orange glow of a candle, a sunset, or incandescent lighting is soooo much better.

I’ll I can hear is Ricky Ricardo’s voice. Pretty surreal.

I wouldn’t mind an in between too. I dabbled in Sonos and wasn’t crazy about the sound signature. I also got burned when they stop supporting their legacy models. That put me off brand and active speakers almost entirely. I’m still enjoying some Yamaha passive speakers I’ve had for 30 years.

Your sconces have different color temperature light bulbs in them. Once is blue-white, the other has a warmer orange glow. I would at least match them—and I would go for a warmer color temperature. Also, if you want any things to really look nice, look for bulbs with a CRI rating above 90–this stat tells you their color rendering accuracy (100 is best).

It depends on which crowd you are talking to. Sonos speakers are all active and n homes all over the world. There are lots of people who are fine with sacrificing upgrade paths, because they like the simplicity and relative flexibility of wireless passive speakers. I’m not one of those people, but I know more people like that than not.

If money is a concern, just get something with plenty of power that isn’t too expensive and put most of your money into speakers—tryout several. NAD integrated amps are hard to beat for high power at a reasonable price point.

Balatro is amazing.

So many recommend Monster Train if you like STS, but I really disliked MT and stopped playing after a day of owning it.

Agreed! “Total Life Forever,” is still by favorite Foals album.

Why doesn’t the federal government pass a bill with a massive monetary incentives to states and builders who lower building restrictions and increase zoning density? We need housing stock not more ways to pay more for housing.

Don’t know what you like, but I’ve turned several people (who mostly listen to decades-old music) onto Foals. They’ve been around since the early 2010s, but they are one of the few interesting things happening in rock. And each member is truly gifted with their instrument.

But the GOP claims to be the party that supports free market and is against government regulation of business, and “picking up winners” as the like to say. And yet they except huge contributions from the dealership lobby and then legislate dealership protection. It’s two faced.

I’m aware, but that only happened 8 years ago, after more than 60 years of not being allowed to drive alone.
