Yeah, I still have an old one around. Was just guessing that maybe with the old incandescent bulbs becoming a rare thing maybe they switched to LED and a dedicated IR bulb like they have for reptile tanks. Could make for some interesting effects since you could change the light color that way too.

Old style ones where just a standard light bulb, not sure how the modern ones work. So no more than a regular light fixture, just less light output for the wattage.

In the janky old vehicles I had back when that was a thing I would do stuff like smear some heavy grease on the edge to block the wind. Bottom dollar cars get bottom dollar fixes.

Funny enough my dad used to mention about 4*80 ac in the car for similar reasons, which makes me wonder if there where a lot of speeding tickets at the time.

Maybe it was an idea from back when trucks used to always have those little triangle windows?

In related news JD Vance reported that he has opted for a room at the local Motel 6 for his accomodations...

including the garnishment of their wages and retirement benefits

If that doesn't say the education costs too much and takes too long to repay I don't know what else one needs to see.

Yes, but the price now is hardly more than that. Cheap tech leftovers are plentiful and I'm certainly not the only one who had a WiFi only phone for a while. Spend $40 for a cheap functional handheld and you can get all the apps if inclined. Can probably even find plenty for free if you look about.

Way the guy stands I'd bet he had a stickup something

Cheering section for when you really need to grab onto something and give it hell.

The practice existed long before smart phones, they used to call them loyalty cards or memberships or something like that. You can go to pretty well any chain gas station for some kind of perks membership card where you get a free coffee for buying gas or whatever. The switch to it being done by apps is in part because it's easier, and they get more realtime and personal info.

Who thought to label them a 'covid-19 advocacy' group? Sounds like a branch of the save the viruses foundation.
