How else would I know the power strip was on? It's not like it's charging my phone and powering the fan, if it didn't light the room up I would obviously shove forks into the sockets because that's something I regularly do in my spare time
You might have some kind of problem with your eye sight.
... good night vision?
I think it's a cost thing. It's cheaper to get these blue LEDs than the old, dimmer green ones, so they buy these instead and change nothing else. It would cost money to change the resistor value, so they don't bother. Instead they take the same boad, stick the new LED on it, and ship it that way.
I really wish that street lights were required to be turned off after midnight on all but main roads. It would help with this.
So would banning fucking motion activated spotlights that activate after a certain time at night.
At leat that has a real function. It's annoying, but it's a planned annoyance, and sometimes it really is useful so it's tolerable.
But so many of these LEDs indicate nothing except "this has power," which is readily apparent 99% of the time because it's plugged in and the house has power.
Tbh I think we need laws about them to get this shit to stop.
It's objectively bad for people's health to be surrounded by bright light at night, because it impacts your ability to sleep.
If someone can't tell that a FAN is plugged in without TWO LEDs (one on the fan itself, another in the plug) then I'm sorry they shouldn't own the fan, they may actually hurt themselves with it.
It's a fan. When you plug it in it spins. If it isn't spinning, you either didn't plug it in, or didn't hit the power button on the fan.
Do it bro it makes a huge difference. Blinking ones are even worse to me.
Yep, its part of why this drives me crazy. I notice a big difference in my sleep when I'm in, say, a hotel that has any of these LEDs in it.
The pentagon would not survive an audit. It's unfathomable that with $800 billion they can't afford to replenish ammunition supplies.
If not by their actions, how do you judge someone? I cannot know "who they are" unless they either tell me or show me, and actions speak louder than words.
So many people will claim to be "good people" then go on a 20 minute rant about the "gay groomer agenda" and how gay people should "leave children alone" and how black people "commit too much crime and need to be policed more for it" when you give them one glass of wine and start talking about politics. Their overall stance is clear, and it isn't on the side of "being a good person."
This is also a test
