    Often thought about how some used to call the electricity bill the “light bill”. Incandescents are straight primitive if you think on it a moment.

    “Run power through this thing until it’s white hot. Ya got light!”

    AC died right before I moved from Chicago. Had to turn off all the lights because of the extra heat. I could feel the only 60W bulb from across my little living room.

    Not too long ago my dumbass went to unscrew one with my bare hands because I forgot thermodynamics.
