    I think calling the leader of the Catholic church a "heretic" is a pretty wild statement to make outside of a seminary.

    I think the structure of Catholicism is strange and agree with you that they've perpetuated a lot of harm throughout their history. But "heretic" is theological insult that shouldn't be casually thrown around.

    Lol I'm trying to find even market reason for a light bulb manufacturer to spend the time and resources to manufacturer less efficient, more expensive to make bulbs that have less flexibility in utility as LEDs can do things like go through the entire color gumant.

    I honestly don't care about you personally but a bunch of brainwashed cult followers can't be good for America or Democracy. You hate liberals, illegals, and the alphabet crowd, you consistently fall for propaganda, and are joined at the hip with a conman and his billionaire "friend." On the surface you don't sound very much like a Christian at all, more like a bitter old prick who does what he's told. You've been had, just to foolish and stubborn to admit it.

    This mother****a has zero empathy, I wouldn’t care for one second if he’s murdered, but it would be nice if the people who voted for him saw and recognized who they voted for and learned from it.

    we have kitchen pendant lights with old-style fittings, new bulbs do not fit in them. We're too cheap to get the pendants rewired with new sockets

    Should Trump create an executive order that makes tv manufacturers have to make TVs with RCA composite inputs because some people have old DVD players they want to use still?

    It was on Bush's watch we landed in this bizaro timeline with his bungling of multiple trillions dollar catastrophes along with a rightward shift to the bottom, and I'll never forgive SCROTUS for squashing all challenges to florida with essentially a one off decree.

    Bush contributed. Clinton contributed. Reagan started this timeline.

    Around the time GE was manned by Jack Welch is when America began its downfall.

    LED's are $hit compared to incandescent in terms of longevity. They are also $hit for lighting above 4k because they can cause eye strain, the more expensive led lighting you would put in glass fixtures are up there in pricing because they do a great job of mimicking incandescent lighting below 3500k...... Its not a big deal but lets not act like incandescent does not have advantages over LED either....

    While no one would want to go back to coax the same way no one would want to go back to CNN being an actual news source I wouldn't mind the Trump administration doing something about media content ownership. We no longer get to own movies, music or video games in the name of convenience but that shitty 480P DVD is still yours and will always be yours as long as the actual physical media is not damaged or lost. Why do you hate ownership and consumer friendly products?

    Donald Trump is currently double fisting multiple dicks of tech bro billionaires like Musk and Bezos. These are the exact people who are diametrically opposed to physical media.

    The AI president which Trump sees himself as isn't even remotely considering shooting guys like Bezos in the foot who rely on consumers not owning physical media to be as wealthy as he is.

    Why would ever think that Trump would want to do that? Dude started meme **** coin pump and dump scenes as a President for goodness sakes and you think he's going to advocate for the consumer? The same president who gutted the Consumer Financial Protection bureau?

    Really? Really?

    This has nothing to do with led bulbs dying. LED bulbs have electrical circuits that regulate current flow. Cheap led bulbs have cheap capacitors. Good quality capacitors have near lifetime lifespan as long as they operate within its temperature limitations.

    A more expensive LED bulb with more expensive capacitors will in the long run be far cheaper than incandescent bulbs. Like after half a year you probably just recouped your cost and now are saving money moving forward.

    Yeah but consumers don't generally look to up spend when it comes to light bulbs, especially with so many cheap Chinese $hit on Amazon and even the cheap options at Wal-Mart and or Home Depot..... A cheap incandescent will out last the cheap LED while more expensive on the electricity bill in long run but cmon.... Is it significant enough to move an electric bill much? Long story short, incandescent lighting isn't a bad choice for consumers.
