+ Tankless water heater mounted inside a garage so it doesn't freeze (and the type with an anode rod to last longer, and check it)

Also:

+ Short and insulated outdoor faucets

+ Whole house filter* ahead of all indoor water

+ Regenerative water softener applied to all indoor hot and cold lines except for the kitchen main sink

+ RO filter + permeate pump** + UV under kitchen sink applied to tap and refrigerator

+ Water hammer arrestors where needed

+ Recirculating hot water loop (3 pipes) to begin with

+ If you're feeling extra spendy and don't want even the possibility of nasty shit from tap water in your plants, a carbon block filter just after the water meter

* 3 big 20" filters in series with a pair of bypass valves and a bypass line

** Critical to reducing waste during production

You can go buy high CRI, high quality bulbs right now. Nothing is stopping you.

The issue isn’t that MBAs have cost reduced bulbs for no reason. The issue is that 95% of consumers will only choose the cheap bulbs, period. As a result, that’s what gets produced at scale.

> We know how to mass-produce quality LEDs to the point entire TVs are made of the things.

They’re not the same thing. Displays are optimized for specific R, G, and B color points. White LEDs are optimized for full, smooth spectrums.


on YouTube 3 channels I really recommend : history with CY - very easy to follow animated videos and great narration , Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages - have everything and good quality, also talk about mythology. World of Antiquity - most scientific vibe

Norway just launched the satellite NorSat-3 with the purpose of locating boats that turn off AIS. I see that it passes over this area in Agentina several times each day.
