More cases of retards trying to reinvent the wheel without understanding fundamentals.

I’m waiting for a huge surge in designer bathtubs, with people getting skin infections or burns from not using porcelain due to fashion.

Pretty sure most bathtubs these days are fiberglass. Enameled cast iron was popular for ages, but those fuckers are heavy.

True, most are probably some sort of acrylic these days, which is chosen because of its colour (to see dirt) and thermal properties.

I'm sure a nigger will claim his great granpappy fixed this problem

Are there similar problems with the other sorts of municipal lighting, like street lights, crossing lights, that sort of thing?

I’d like to be a fly on the wall when some dipshit put an LED in their Scentsy warmer so they could save the earth.

A technological solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. The best example of this I’ve seen recently is automated paper towel dispensers in public bathrooms. A sensor detects when you wave your hand in front of it and dispenses a single paper towel. I have already seen loads of these fail due to issues with the sensors or other technological problems. How hard is it to just pull the paper towels out yourself? A increase in cost, an increase in raw material, an increase in labour inputs in production, all just to reduce the efficiency of a product which didn’t require any improvement to begin with.

It's to minimize nigger behavior like stealing or wasting the towels.

Oh right thats why we can't have nice things.

But the niggers will just get confused and destroy the expensive thing now.

We know they, they aren't allowed to know that.

Implement jim crowe laws. White bathrooms with paper towels, black bathrooms they can wipe their hands on their pants and thank us for plumbing.

[ - ] HeavyBrain 3 points 2.3 yearsJan 19, 2023 07:03:28 ago (+3/-0)

Let me guess those machines are expensive as fuck but filled with the cheapest single ply towls you can find, you know the kind you need 12 of to dry your hands while you get the same result with a single 3 ply.

[ - ] TheYiddler 2 points 2.3 yearsJan 19, 2023 06:46:51 ago (+2/-0)

But how will you fight climate change if those people are grabbing ten towels?

[ - ] NukeAmerica 2 points 2.3 yearsJan 19, 2023 07:34:01 ago (+2/-0)

Yeah, im not touching anything in a public bathroom.

probably not old enough to remember pay phones, are you sonny?

Die boomer

Even worse are automated water and soap sensors they are installing now. Wave your hands around, nothing, go to the next one, yeah finally a bit of soap! No water. Go to the next water sensor, yay finally you can wash your hands...

Everything sucks these days.

A technological solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

LEDs are vastly more power efficient. Amortized across a few million fixtures and this saves on taxpayer money, allowing the controllers of said money to stuff their pockets with more of it. Unfortunately, it's a new tech, which requires some good (expensive) White engineers to figure out problems with, which they don't hire anymore of course.

There's an obvious and easy fix for this of course. A cheap temp prob sealed in there with the single-unit bulb casing, and a small heater coil. It can draw up to as much power as the old bulbs to keep itself heated enough to melt the shit on it, and go back to power-savings mode when not.

You like paying taxes? The problem they solve is energy usage which saves city budget money.

A video about this specific issue:

Came here to post this exact video. Every new invention comes with unforeseen problems. It doesn't mean you stop innovation. This problem has already been solved while retaining the advantages of led traffic lights.

You're a faggot. I don't disagree with what you said, I just want you to know that I'm sure that you like being sodomized.

[ - ] voatersaredumbasses 0 points 2.3 yearsJan 20, 2023 11:41:36 ago (+0/-0)*

Good one. You seem smart. That means a lot coming from you. I'm the one that likes being sodomized but you're the one who's butthurt. Are you the one that's been following me around downvoting everything?

A few broken electric cars with smoking batteries (made from tons of toxic shit with a life span the fraction of an normal engine) are a little price to pay for the CO2 saved not using bulbs.

[ - ] NukeAmerica 1 point 2.3 yearsJan 19, 2023 07:35:41 ago (+1/-0)

LED traffic lights cost WAY less in electricity. Something like $75 compared to $7 a day in use.

the ideal would be to add heaters to them. in parts it would be almost nothing, but i'm sure the maker wouldn't charge "nothing" for it. They could also design it so that the heat sink for the emitter and driver was partially the glass. In this picture it actually looks like the visors were expected to do the trick, but there was abnormal wind (you know how there isn't wind in a storm?).

The savings from reliability (how many city workers does it take to change a bulb?) and power usage for led is high enough that it is worth it.

Think outside the box.

Roundabouts, no lights needed. Pun intended.
