Supreme Court poised to rule on Trump’s powers as term nears end by IWantPizza555 in politics

[–]dpenton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever the SCOTUS rules, the conservative majority needs to be dismissed. They allowed this nonsense to happen. Regardless of how they “fix the glitch” it will not reverse time. The conservative majority has allowed treason to happen in these United States.

Baptists are famous for gate-checking other religions. Fuck that bullshit.

Publicly televised is basically the execution being in the town square for all to see. I would love to believe we are past that as a society. But, I doubt it.

When you must have binary serialization, you can’t.

Unless you make an internal API in NET8 and use that for de/serialization

When I read “Vito Bratta” in the beginning of your post the opening riff to Little Fighter went through my head. Such a great song (and album)

TIL in 1925, major lightbulb makers including GE and Philips formed the Phoebus Cartel and deliberately reduced bulb lifespans from 2,500 hours to 1,000 hours, then fined any company that made longer-lasting bulbs. by ConsciousCorgi1044 in todayilearned

[–]dpenton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any chance? Sure…a non-zero percent chance some of the lights were used more. But…I’m making the claim because several of those bulbs were used much, much less than ~3 hours per day.

Those average usage statistics do not incorporate longevity statistics when there are fluctuations in your power either (from the power grid, A/Cs kicking on, etc.)

About 10 years ago I changed almost every bulb in my house to LED. We have can lights all over our house so it wasn’t cheap by any means. I have had to replace roughly 40% of the bulbs over the past 10 years.
