Does It Hurt LED Bulbs To Turn Them On & Off ?
What is considered a "good" brand? And what is considered, "bottom of the barrel"? Are these things rated by Consumer Reports, or something like that?- billt460

Does It Hurt LED Bulbs To Turn Them On & Off ?
I know fluorescents should not be turned on and off constantly. It's better to leave them on. But what about LED's? Is it better to turn them on and off as you leave the room... Or just leave them on throughout the course of the day?- billt460

Those tunes that get stuck in your head
It's been said that all the good music has already been recorded. I believe there is truth in that statement. Look at, "oldies stations". They exist almost everywhere across the nation. Usually found on the higher end of the FM band. We even have one here out in the desert. Many that broadcast... -

Mag-lites circa 1983.
This is my 80's 6 D Cell Maglite I recently converted to LED. It's seen little actual use except for around the house. Which is why it hasn't gotten all banged up.- billt460

For me it is Paul Anka's, "Goodnight My Love". They played it on the radio when I was going to the gun club. Now it won't get out of my head! -
why so much hate towards electric cars?
I don't think there is one. Certainly not hydrogen. And we have had hydrogen fuel cells since before the Gemini Program. I don't either. The whole thing has become far more political, than it is practical. -
why so much hate towards electric cars?
It doesn't matter if it can't be made to work financially. Toyota has been trying desperately with their Miria program for several years now. And thus far it's been pretty much a disaster financially. Even with subsidized fuel. Because the cars become all but worthless once the subsidies run... -
why so much hate towards electric cars?
Hydrogen takes more energy to make than it produces. It's an even worse option than EV's for the masses. Because the infrastructure to support it is even more costly and difficult to put in place. -

And you keep comparing EV's to railroads and the Internet. What's next, how fast video games have improved? Jesus! -
why so much hate towards electric cars?
And I'm dubious you would have a million dollars to bet with in the first place. Be that as it may, in well over a century they have not been able to do better than 1% of the market share they have today. Yet you actually believe they will be the majority in just another 12 years. As I've... -
why so much hate towards electric cars?
Wrong.... Again. What, "killed them off in the past", is the exact same reason they're not selling now. People simply don't want them because they are a problem, not a solution. Do you see people screaming for incandescent light bulbs to come back? Or 8-Track tapes? I don't need "a link"... -

Respect has to be earned. It isn't automatically given out. All of your talking points about EV's, government, and regulations reek of socialism. It's not some accusation I simply threw at you. You've earned it well based on what you've typed. So now deal with it... Don't whine like some type...
