If I popped a flourescent bulb in a public setting the hazmat suits would shut the place down and the police would hold a press conference explaining the time line of my terroristic actions.

Thanks !

THAT DOES LOOK NEAT !@ I just have a CFL spiral bulb keeping the Star Grass alive ( and quite well)
I will put more plants when I get a proper hood and lights. I have over come some fish sickness and initial start up problems, I am learning a bit everyday.

Looking good, BR. But where's the red tiger lotus? Don't make me come over there!

Edison never invented the phonograph. He never invented anything. He hired a bunch of smart people to invent things that he patented.


He didn't invent the light bulb, he didn't invent the movie camera, he didn't invent most of the things he's given credit for; he did one thing: the phonograph.

His was the first sound recording device which took vibrations from the air and
transfered them to a media via a needle--just like records did for generations afterward.

I wonder what they did exactly with the light-bulb that "burnt out"

WTF is with the black and white? Also, turn on a fucking light bulb.

LED bulbs will soon be more affordable, and they use even less electricity than CFLs, however, they can be sort of blindingly harsh.
This one looks nice, and like they addressed the harsh light, http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/8/8/7

Be careful how you change your bulbs. The 5 mg of mercury in a single CFL is enough to make as much as 50,000 litres of water undrinkable according to Canadian drinking water standerds.

I can't wait to test drive one of those. >> ^Peroxide:

As far as Fraking goes, the only controversy is how these companies continue to get away with it. Water means life. *Quality PSA.

If you cut out all the back and forth rhetoric that inevitably spews between oil(and gas) corporations and communities who want clean air and water and a future, it all comes down to neoclassical economics' false dichotomy.
Corporations (and left and right wing politicians who over romanticize the free market) will tell citizens,
"you can either have:
a) a strong economy, or
b) a clean environment."
and
they
will
insist
we
can't
have
both.

In Canada for the last couple elections people have been scare mongered by this false dichotomy.
I tell you, there is a sustainable economy, there is a sustainable future: dare to dream. Let's all grow the f ck up and build the new economy that defies the bullshit neoclassical economic lies that have been entrenched in our culture. They will tell you the choice is between a job or cancer. Fuck. that. shit.
It's time for the next industrial revolution, the green revolution, I'm in. Change your light bulbs, then change your leaders.

absolutely, this short term thinking they want us to buy in to is nonsense and is ruining everything for future generations.

Fuck IKEA. I'm done with them . Everything in their store is well below shit quality. I don't care how cheap it is, most of it is not even worth having. I'll never buy another piece of furniture from IKEA.

First example: their tealights. Wow, 100 tealights for $5!? Seems like an incredible bargain. But a tealight that won't even stay lit is worthless at any price. IKEA tealights just don't stay lit... the wax doesn't burn away fast enough, and the wick is limp. So the wick dips over and snuffs itself in the liquid wax. Don't ask me why I'm fucking around with tea-lights (I used to have girls over and light candles etc... now that seems like a previous life). I'd rather pay $10 for 40 tealights that will actually stay lit until the wax is gone. I bought a bunch of IKEA tealights back when I moved into this place... I was there every week for a couple months, and half the time I'd just snag a pack of tealights thinking they were a great bargain. It took me a couple years to finally accept that those tealights were worth less than the plastic wrapped around them, and just throw them all out.

Don't get me started on the lightbulbs they sell... Every once in a while I get some new bulbs for all the little underlights I have around for vases and shit... the bulbs last a few weeks of infrequent use on average.

Their tea-lights

I bought a whole bunch of IKEA shit just under five years ago when I moved into this apartment. Shelves, lamps, some mats. Most of it has literally started to fall apart from regular use. One of my BILLY bookshelf sets sufferend a "pancake collapse" of the shelves inside, which could not (ironically) support the weight of the (comic) books I was storing on them... the shelves are now basically useless until I figure out some kind of repair on the parts where the shelves connect to the bookshelf body... that's where it all came apart.

And once you've put doors onto a BILLY shelf it's up around $250 for a set (maybe more? I can't remember), at which point you may as well look at some real shelves made for grown-ups.

It was just... so unimpressive. It was 9 minutes of the same damn thing. Light bulbs rolling on a table, and not even particularly well synched to the music.
