Spoiler alert: it very likely wasn't consensual.

We made rocks glow with the power of lightning.

Not with that attitude.

Absolutely, just like there's some things a horse can do that a car just can't.

I don't plan on buying a horse or needing to do those things, and I don't think the vast majority do either.

The end result is that there will still be ICEs in niche applications, but those who know how to operate them and the supply chains that currently make them cheap and dominant will slowly die off.

But solar panel costs are falling way faster than battery costs.

We also use it for engine displacement.

The super credits used to unlock the second battle pass can also be found in game in a relatively healthy amount (including in the first battle pass), making unlocking that second battle pass very possible without spending real currency.

Our heat pump didn't really kick in the resistive auxiliary heat until temps were well below 0°F, but humidity also plays into that. It wasn't ever running the resistive heat exclusively.

If sized correctly, heat pumps also don't really like setbacks in the winter. Just set the thermostat to whatever and leave it -- don't have it cool down at night and warm back up in the morning.

If you own anything with "white" LEDs, I have some bad news for you...

7? Psh.

Try 40.

No but seriously, it's addictive. One moment you're like "I just need a good flashlight" and the next you're telling somebody how the flashlight they got from Lowes has terrible tint and CRI compared to your hand-assembled copper and titanium pixel camo Emisar D4v2 with dedomed Nichia 519As you got for like $120 from a Chinese guy named Hank.

 

Emisar D4V2 mule - W1 Amber. It's got that same monochromatic yellow as an old sodium street lamp, to the point that I briefly felt a tinge of nostalgia on firing it up for the first time.

Light, sound -- it's all just waves, man.

 

I was thinking of getting a 519A DD CCT-shift for the giggles of having that much high-CRI rosy light. What's everybody else getting?

 

Emisar D1K UV emitter fried itself. Bit of a bummer, but I've already reached out to Hank. Anyone else run into this with the 5W UV emitter?
