I'm switching out my lightbulbs - to halogen lights.
I can't stand the visible flickering of LED lights, nor that they don't light in a continuous spectrum. Some colors will show stronger and some less in LED light, which irritates me.
It's like listening to music with an 18-band equalizer, and three random knobs turned all the way up, and the rest down.

Halogen lights don't have that problem, and you can get them in many color temperatures. They're far more efficient than regular incandescent bulbs, while still having the advantages of an unbroken spectrum and little flickering. They're also safer for the environment to dispose of than LEDs.

The statement did say "observable universe."

No.

That's weird, I understood it perfectly as an (admittedly somewhat simplified) explanation of how space expands and how light travels through that expanding space. Don't blame your lack of understanding on what you imagine to be the GP's lack of clarity.

No-one said there is. There is light hitting us which was emitted by objects which are now* more than 14 billion light years away.

*for a given value of "now," that is, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy trying to explain that to you.

Is it possible that you perhaps haven't considered every single possible application this might have?

Happy now?

Colonized by wankers. Couldn't find a decent culture to be colonized by.

Mine's a cheapy, bought at an army surplus. 2 or 3 kilos and doesn't pack tight at all.

What do you sling a hammock between in Iceland? Two rocks?

Google 'lightning incidence map' and avoid looking like a smug idiot next time.

SF would have PUDed long ago, but PG&E owns all the transmission into the bay area anyhow.

So they prefer to continue getting fucked the old fashioned way. Kind of surprising for SF.

Mythbusters notwithstanding.

When asked to polish a turd, what they are really asking you to do is cover it in glitter and spray paint.

Never forget that and actually try to polish a turd.

Only runs on LPG. Right out.

My old Primus stove is great and light. Will burn anything short of diesel fuel. White gas is much more energy dense vs. LPG.

Windscreen/heat exchanger are part of the pot set. Was pricy, but doesn't wear out.

Only with extruded food. So your pallet is 'Cheesy Poof', 'Slim Jim' and 'Noodle'.

Pressure cookers cook faster by raising the boiling point/temperature of steam. Less cooking time beats time to boil.

Because cooking is all about how fast you can get the BTUs into the food?

Is there any kind of cooking, besides bringing water to a boil, where this will actually help? Any market beyond English/Scottish food?
