If LED bulbs are supposed to last for 10 years, why do I still need to replace them every 9 months?

  • What are you on about? I've switched to LED bulbs about 10 years ago, and I've never had to replace a single one...

    • What shitty things have your favourite bands/artists done?

  • Good for you if that's what you think. Meanwhile, I have no trouble finding other artists more worthy of my money and attention.

  • He has only been middle aged for less than half his career, depending on your definition of the term, and he has at various stages of his life described himself as bisexual, asexual, celibate, 'humasexual' and explicitly 'not a homosexual', but besides that: Yes. Which illustrates why his various -isms haven't been obvious until more recently.

  • Possibly. And had that one song remained the only indication of his mindset, I would still, possibly, be listening to his music. But it didn't, and here we are.

  • There's being pretentious and stupid, and then there's being a full on racist and hatemonger. The latter wasn't apparent until more recently.

    • Did the average European know about the New World around 1500? Did people fantasize about the New World in a way similar to how people fantasize about space travel today?

  • I'd like to point out that the notion that most medieval Europeans never travelled beyond their place of birth is increasingly shown to be a misconception. Most peasants at least visited the nearest town frequently for trade and to attend processions for religious holidays, and many made a point of going on a major pilgrimage at least once in their live. There also the fact that people were often forced to relocate because of wars and famine, went on crusades, were sent away to learn a trade, or simply visited distant relatives. The thing that didn't happen was tourism, which is how we mostly think of travel today. Here's a medievalist's perspective on it, and it's not hard to find more sources if you go looking for them: https://medievallauren.wordpress.com/2020/12/02/medieval-myth-busting-travel/

  • I read an article about that. IIRC it's mainly because there is only minimal bloodflow in your teeth - barely enough to supply it with nutrients (and still not enough you should skip external flouride etc.).

    • Can you recommend contemporary music artists without lyrics?

  • DJ Krush for some instrumental hip hop/trip hop.

    • What's with telling YEARLY salaries?

    Jump

  • Can't speak for the US, but here in Germany there often aren't 12 monthly salaries to a year. Many people get a Christmas bonus and/or a summer bonus, but just as many don't. Personally, I get paid about 13 1/4 monthly salaries a year, so telling you my yearly salary would be more accurate than the monthly amount.
