Thanksgiving coldest on record in the NEast

I think more like 45-50 Million...but who's counting..he did not win without cheating
I think you are right. I did a logical calculation tonight. I think I came up with 42 million, give or take a few drunk bums who didn't remember who they punched.

The economy in collapse and it’s all about warming

Didn't Obozo do this once before? Damn those we sorry assed, bizarro looking light filaments. LED is getting more play now, and less need to change out lights. LED is great for boat trailer lights but indoors not so much. Wife bought 3 flush mounts for the kitchen and 2 burned out in less than 2 years. They are a pain in the ass for this old geezer to wire up as well. :mad:

The issue is LED’s run on DC. There’s a rectifier in every LED bulb that can fail.

A car is already DC.

The diodes themselves are ridiculously reliable and efficient (and expensive).

I have no idea what a rectifier is. I just know it's damned easy to change a lightbulb, and mounting a LED light is a overhead is a PIA, and long term reliability sucks---speaking from personal experience. :mad: So a rectifier converts DC to AC? That's the weak link? Educate me!

The slow are outraged you have doubts there are 81 million Americans stupid enough to vote for a shrub who made promises in Democrat debates and is keeping them. Only dozens would show at Brandon's rare campaign rally.

I formulated a classical mechanics formula. To get 81 million votes for Biden I had to insert a massive down ticket blue wave. MASSIVE.

Yep.

Every LED I’ve ever seen actually runs on DC. Companies will say theirs can run on either but there’s always a circuit build in that converts.

The weak link in any AC LED circuit is where the electricity type is converted.

I’ve been a Product Manager for our LED light system for over a decade, our lights have a 7 year warranty and our transformers have a 3 year warranty…if that tells you anything. We almost never see LED’s fail. We have one pointed at a sign in our training center that’s been on continuously for over 6 years. They are pretty awesome tech.

Color temp control (kelvins) and color accuracy have improved dramatically over the last 5-7 years, and costs have come down.

Thank you. That's good to know. I was wondering why the lights were failing when I've had such good luck with boat trailer lights. Let me guess, the rectifiers aren't replaceable. You sneaky bastards! 😂

Diodes allow current to flow in one direction. AC flows back and forth hence alternating. A rectifier with multiple diodes set in a certain configuration allows current to flow in one direction during both he "forward" and "backward" phases.

LEDs are Light Emmiting Diodes

Diodes are sometimes called electrical check valves

A stock image that has been waiting its whole life for this moment.
Famines, sea level rise, extreme weather, more pandemics—by this point, you’ve probably heard about the most disturbing consequences of climate change. What you might not have heard is that it could also hurt Major League Baseball. That’s right, America’s favorite pastime is imperiled by its other favorite hobby: burning fossil fuels.

I just heard on the Levin a warmest claiming 195 more home runs have been hit in MLB the last 3 years because of warming 😭😭😭😭. I have to find this on Twitter
Jesse Watters is running a segment on this as I type! 😂
