Gomez Chamberlain posted:I'd go the opposite direction, I don't like that clinical blue-light in my home lighting at all. I've vastly preferred the softer LED bulbs, including the fake filament ones. I switched to LED for my bedroom and just bought the basic blue-white bulb. The brightness and stark white were so harsh I immediately threw them out and got the incandescent-color bulbs. Everything looked wrong and painful.

I broke the glass around the LED bulb in my fridge and it still works fine even with the sharp jagged edges.

I live near a specific location where in one view, you can see high pressure sodium, low pressure sodium, warm white (i think) LED and red-green 'environmentally friendly' LED lamps (though those are pretty distant). I intend to go out at night some day to take a picture of them. My city has used the low pressure sodium for incredibly long. I've never seen them broken, while the high pressure ones just start cycling on and off after a while. They just replaced one street's low pressure sodium lamps a month ago, with LED. Walk 2 minutes, and you get TL street lamps and mercury lamps from a nearby school too. It's pretty cool to see all the different ones in such a small area.

I have a really old and "crappy" CFL bulb in my bedside table lamp and I am going to be really sad when it goes out. It takes a few minutes to get to full brightness, which sucks except when you turn on the light in the middle of the night. I never have to cover my eyes to keep from going blind.

Greatest Living Man posted:Either that or it's due to the phosphorescent material they use to make white light LEDs: they generally use Ce:YAG for that, which doesn't really have appreciable phosphorescence (if you blast it with UV and utterly saturate it it'll be slightly visible in a pitch black room - nowhere near the lingering brightness of a LED bulb).

Stopping on the highway is also incredibly OSHA. Even if you stop on the hard shoulder it's incredibly dangerous. I stopped once to check in with a biker who had trouble with his 1950s british bike (what else lol). I watched out for him while he tried to get his chain back on. He eventually gave up, but i had to instruct him to hop over the crash barrier/guard rail and not just stand next to his bike along an active highway...

LimaBiker posted:Stopping on the highway is also incredibly OSHA. Even if you stop on the hard shoulder it's incredibly dangerous. I ended up in an accident because a mattress fell off a truck and took down a guy on a motorcycle. The rest of their bike gang turned around and drove the opposite direction on a freeway, at night, to help their buddy. The car in front of me slammed the brakes when they saw them approaching and forced me to stop too, so then I got clipped from behind, destroying the driver side of my car. The person just kept going, so fast I couldn't even tell the make of the sedan. No injuries that I know of, but the wheel was mangled and the tire had a fist-sized clean-edged hole in it. Don't stop in 70-80 mph traffic.

Lol, I was getting mad at the drivers pulling over to the tiny inside shoulder at the start, then I remembered the person holding the camera was already just chilling there

A couple weeks ago in MA I saw some cars ahead swerving to avoid something in the road, as I came up to it it turned out to be someone's foot long pet chameleon trying to cross the highway. As much as I wanted to stop and rescue the thing I knew that stopping there and especially going into the road there was extremely dangerous and didn't attempt it. Hope the little guy made it.

Details are a bit hazy, but like 10 or so years ago, someone stopped their car in the fast lane on the highway to help a family of ducks or some poo poo and they got rear ended by a motorcycle and the motorcycle people died.

When I first started driving in the US, the most terrifying thing to me was the zip merge. I was used to yielding when merging to a freeway, like a good little Yuro. It instantly taught me that the American freeways are death traps waiting to devour you during your compulsory commute, and that you gotta go fast or else.

I've lived here all my life and I still can't get used to it, basically everything else I do in driving revolves around planning ahead and acting early because you assume every other driver is going to be selfish and acting purely for themselves.
