Fix the issue with read posts. Can’t stand having to see the same top posts over and over again.

Looking at the datasheet and pictures I think the heatsink is just aluminum. Looks like an extrusion (which means it’s the same shape over the full length) with a solid center that they machine down in the middle area to mount the LEDs. The large amount of material and good conduction of the aluminum will absorb and distribute the heat without needing water cooling or heat pipes.

These LEDs use up to 200W and the heatsink on here probably weighs more than 10x as much as a heatsink on a 500+W graphics card. Watercooling and heat pipes are necessary when you need to get a lot of heat out with a minimum amount of material, such as for cars and home computers. Costs more than a big block of aluminum but the you don’t need to move that much wieght around. For a light like this, the extra weight and space it takes up doesn’t matter.

This is from 2022, it is not news. Are there any more recent articles on this? How’d it go?

Clickbait.

Article is nearly 10 years old.

Article contains no studies or surveys showing this result.

The 50% figure is calculated by assuming a paltry annual raise and consistent large pay bumps by switching companies.

Cheap drivers that drive the cheap LED modules too hot without enough cooling.

The lightbulbs thing was (possibly) different. There’s some physical limits on the performance of lightbulbs so the time to failure test was more of a proxy to make sure bulbs of a certain wattage were outputting similar strength and color light.

I don’t know if there were other reasons this glass tech didn’t catch on besides the obvious capitalism issues, but the lightbulb thing is definitely a misunderstood piece of trivia.

You can set the taskbar stuff to stay on the left, at least in the version of win11 I use for work.

I hate that I can’t tell if video game, render, or AI generated anymore.

MAKE GAS LANDSCAPING TOOLS ILLEGAL

Give away free electric tools if they trade in their gas ones. It’s so bad for health to be huffing 2 stroke fumes all day every day.

Edit, I realize that this is meant for a electric leaf blower since it would do fuck all for a gas one. Doesn’t change my opinion about landscaping tools tho

If you can’t tell who is doing them in the walk in, is it really a problem?

Can’t fix anything if we use all our resources preventing regression. Snooze implies we go back to sleep for 4 years.

🟥 go back to sleep (bad dreams)

🟦 get up (get to work)

⬜ sit there (along for the ride)

Fair. Logs are natural unless otherwise specified. You wouldn’t put log(37) if you wanted base 10, you’d do log_10(37).

Would a tostada then be a floppy cracker fried crisp?

No, crackers are a type of bread. Tostadas are cracker versions of tortillas. Corn tortillas are whole grain flat breads.

Pupusas and tamales are like his pizza example where the masa dough is cooked with its fillings. But those are both types of dumplings, which would make pizza an open-faced dumpling 🤔

It’s no frills but on the kind of flights I think most people use them for, who needs frills? If the flight is under 3 hours or so, a snack pouch and free soda is plenty nice. Plus you don’t feel like you’re second class having to walk by the nice seats on the way to the back.

I took a United flight from California to Chicago (cause it happened to be cheaper and better timed than SW) and I couldn’t tell you the difference from flying SW besides maybe I knew my seat before boarding?

Risky strategy because it is probably either a luck of the draw scenario or the prosecutor (is that how they’re called in Canada?) deciding which cases have the lowest chance of winning on trial.

If Canada is anything like the US, most criminal cases never make it to trial and the judge is only involved to approve a plea deal. If every criminal case went to trial it would overwhelm the courts.

Oops on the way to get my pillow I noticed something cool and now I’ve been reading Wikipedia for an hour.

Would that be a subregion within the mountain west?
