I have a five year old nephew that wants to be a mailman and a librarian when he grows up.
Halogen incandescents are available all over the place.
Number Nine is already gone. The Government records everything and stores it in the data center in Utah, or so we have been told.
I fear the Government much more than an Internet company, but the difference is likely to become moot.
As long as there are lightning storms there will be blackouts.
When I was a kid back in the 60a I loved to shift gears manually but even back then I would have taken the automaitic if it performed better and according to “Car and Driver” magazine they do.
I guess manual transmissions really will go by the way.
oops I’m supposed to include those mentioned.
0. The number of decent people telling ignorant islams and illegals to GFTS. Lemmings educated to accept mediocrity and whiners and islam rapists.
Wish I'd bought more 60W now.
FWIW, Ad Block Plus says it is blocking 12 ads and/or graphics and Ghostery says it is blocking 22 trackers; 16 advertising, 3 site analytics, 2 social media and 1 comments.
I’m using Slim Jet as a browser. Based on Chrome.
>>The Wall Street Journals Rebecca Smith reports that a former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission chairman is acknowledging for the first time that a group of snipers shot up a Silicon Valley substation for 19 minutes last year, knocking out 17 transformers before slipping away into the night.
People shoot transformers all the time around here. Snipers! LOL.
“Even the Ford F-150 pickup truck cant be purchased with a stick anymore.”
Dammit! How’s a girl going to, ‘grind her gears’ in the future? ;)
Socialism ruins EVERYTHING it touches!

Yep. It’s a new racket to make sure everyone has to pay full pop for the textbooks.

“No, government energy cops are not coming for your bulbs. .........
......As of January 1, 2014, the manufacture and importation of 40- to 100-watt incandescent bulbs became illegal in the U.S., part of a much broader effort to get Americans to use less electricity.”
So they ARE. Dimwit.
Blackouts will disappear?
Good, I can start drinking again.
There are some heavy use light fixtures in the house that go through 2 or 3 incandescent bulbs a year. Two years ago I replaced those with LED and haven’t had to change them yet.
Here ya go. All you want for $.41/ea. 2500 hour life.
Yet students will still somehow have to drop $1,000/semester on them.
“I have enough incandescent light bulbs to last me until the end of World War VII.”
Us, too! I buy some whenever I’m out. I cannot READ properly without my ‘Reveal’ bulbs. Pretty sure (that EVIL!) GE will continue to make them for...for-ever! ;)
They are now making “energy efficient” incandescent bulbs.
