Wife wanted new light bulbs. She tells me to pick up some LEDs (more like LEDeez, amirite?)

I go to Lowe's. Holy shit these things are like $6 each! The packaging makes some bold claims about each bulb lasting 22 years and only using 72 cents per year in electricity. I get only a small handful to test them out. These things are amazing! It's like I'm seeing things in a whole new light now (literally and figuratively). Gonna go back and get some more. Probably need 20+ to finish the house.

I'm also in the process of creating a "Music Room" in the basement. When I'm done my basement will have a Play Room, Music Room, and Game Room. Does anyone ever get any work done here? No.

I got a bunch of those a while back and didn't like the hue of light they put out. Have they improved that at all? They had that "daylight" look to them, which I hate.

Funny you mention that. I bought two different types without noticing until I got home. Two of the ones I purchased are indeed "daylight." You're right, it is an odd sensation. Stuck them together down in the basement. The others all have that traditional yellow/white look. Like a "regular" bulb but superior.

Actually to get even more specific, this is what I got. Normal on top, "daylight" on bottom.

I couldnt stand the led bulbs my bought so I just gelled them with some spare rosco gels I had.

e-cigs have health issues, sure, but they have fewer health problems than traditional cigarettes. That's the whole point.

I've always wondered why everyone sees problems with e-cigs, considering they haven't really been tested by anybody yet for health effects. Unless something has come up from the last time I looked, in which case, please point me in that direction.

afaik, it's mostly just stuff tied into how nicotine is still bad for you, which is like... well yeah?

I don't smoke but I probably eat things more unhealthy than ecigs all the time

I'm pretty sure the brain told the tongue to say that.

Christmas is going great and it hasn't even happened yet. Got confirmation of a pay rise a few weeks back (starting January), got 2 awesome presents in my secrets santas (a Fox Amiibo from my house mate and a Nintendo eShop card from a work colleague) and I just got home from my work christmas party to find a letter from revenues and customs - with a cheque for £500 in tax returns. Merry Christmas me!

Girlfriends family is in the wars atm. Her grandad had a fall and broke his arm and her dad collapsed at work. Both seem on the mend now fortunately, but its kinda scary.

Well, from what all I can tell, there isn't much assurance as to how nicotine is bad other than addiction. Not that I am promoting anything, I just get interested in stuff like this. I like cyberpunk stuff, so e-cigs and vaporizers go in line with that.
