Do you still use fluorescent lightbulbs in 2026? Or any other bulbs that aren't LED?

Hell, most if not all of the lighting in my apartment is LED.

Between 8 rooms (counting the hallway and both bathrooms), theres only 5 fixtures that accept 'bulbs'. 4 table lamps and the light in the vent hood over the stove. Everything else is 'non-servicable' lighting like LED boards built into full fixtures (celing lights), LED tape lights (under counter/shelf lights), and some string lights that nobody can be bothered to take down after xmas.

I haven't had to replace a dead light in at least 8 years though.

What hill will you die on even though it absolutely doesn't matter?

Either way it's wrong.

As a Canadian that works with sheet metal and has to put up with American units; it is so bloody annoying having to use decimal inches, fractional inches, sheet gauge (which varies in thickness depending on the type of metal, 10ga aluminium is not the same size as 10ga steel), AND millimetres for (some but not all) non-american customers, plus converting between each depending on who drew the plans and where we sourced the stock this month.

Just use mm god damnit, why do we need four+ different systems...

Nice to see the sheriff took action, since the school doesn't seem to give a damn.

charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence

The girl has been allowed back into school, only after a school board meeting voted to allow it; but 'on probation' and with the expulsion still on her record. The family is following up with a federal lawsuit because of that.

I'll note she didn't just hit him out of no where. She first reported it to school staff. They did nothing. She then tried to contact her dad and got told by school staff 'parents don't need to get involved'. The school then put her on the same bus as the offender, who showed off the image again to other students in front of her.

What else was she supposed to do. I'd have hit him too, and I'm almost 30.

It wasn't your fault

Rapists know they'd be punished and/or shunned if they spoke of their crimes, so they don't talk about it.

Victims on the other hand are encouraged to seek help; talking through the trauma as a means of coping and healing.

It only makes sense the victim would be more commonly known about than the offender.

On top of that; a rapist is more likely to have created multiple victims, it's not just a 1:1 comparison.

Eric Swalwell Expertly Roasts Donald Trump In Inquiry Exchange With Hunter Biden

Lmao.

SWALWELL: Any time your father was in government, prior to the Presidency or before, did he ever operate a hotel?

BIDEN: No, he has never operated a hotel.

SWALWELL: So he’s never operated a hotel where foreign nationals spent millions at that hotel while he was in office?

BIDEN: No, he has not.

SWALWELL: Did your father ever employ in the Oval Office any direct family member to also work in the Oval Office?

BIDEN: My father has never employed any direct family members, to my knowledge.

SWALWELL: While your father was President, did anyone in the family receive 41 trademarks from China?

BIDEN: No.

SWALWELL: As President and the leader of the party, has your father ever tried to install as the chairperson of the party a daughter-in-law or anyone else in the family?

BIDEN: No. And I don’t think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC.

SWALWELL: Has your father ever in his time as an adult been fined $355 million by any State that he worked in?

BIDEN: No, he has not, thank God.

SWALWELL: Anyone in your family ever strike a multibillion dollar deal with the Saudi Government while your father was in office?

BIDEN: No.

SWALWELL: That’s all I’ve got.
