@Kermit1 That's what we're going to find out.😉😉(I ordered one) The details on that Menards link above say a 5 year warranty. Although, I think I've had a couple LED bulbs die before die before their warranty. But on average, they do last 2-3x+ longer than incandescent.

I would have ordered multiple bulbs, but I have to make sure I like this bulb before consider getting more. I didn't want to end up sitting on extra bulbs that I hate.

@WoomyNNYes
Are you telling me incandescent bulbs are still the standard in the US?
They've been forbidden since 2013 in Europe.

@Mioaionios same with Canada, but I might need to double check.

Sometimes Canada feels like an odd combo of the US and Europe.

@Mioaionios 60-150watt LED bulbs are easy to find & buy. But 3way LED bulbs in the US didn't exist over 150watt. The 50/200/250watt 3way incandescent bulb was a standard, but since there wasn't an LED alternative, the incandescent version is still made - although, they've been hard to find for 3-4+ years now.

This week was the first time I've seen a 3way LED bulb that goes over 150watt. All bulbs in the us are either single wattage, or 3way.

Regarding bulb standards/law in the US, I don't know much more. If an LED was available, that's always been the preference since they cost less to run, and last longer than incandescent bulbs. I never look for incandescent bulbs under 200watt, so I don't know if some lower wattage incandescent have been discontinued or not. There's also the Compact Fluorescent bulbs, but I haven't gotten one of those in over 3 years, since LED is the better bulb.

@Mioaionios the heat won't kill you, the humidity will.

In times like these I'm glad to live near the sea. (the sea breeze is lovely)

@Kermit1 Wouldn't mind being you right about now, the closest one to where I live is about 20 minutes away minimum :/

@Kermit1
To be honest, I don't think I'll ever visit the States again.
I went to Las Vegas once and it could just as well have been another planet.

There was some fun to be had for sure, saw a lot of live shows, but the extravagance of it all didn't sit well with me. Which is something I experienced in Atlanta as well where I needed to switch planes. I don't know... everything felt so extreme, alienating even.

@Mioaionios Las Vegas, (I've never been) is not the best first place to go in the US, I'd pick Texas before Vegas on my list.

That reminds me. I need to see the world one of these days, I've been stuck on an island for my whole life. In other words I want to go to England lol.

I’ve been to Vegas. It’s fun, a bit of a visual overload, but it’s almost like a theme park. The interesting part is a single strip of buildings, surrounded by generic city.

@Kermit1 Yep, MRIs can be loud and unsettling. I went through one several years ago to help diagnose some knee issues.

@Anti-Matter Gotcha, so Park Beyond is like a theme park simulator. I DO enjoy those, so I might look into it a little as well. Though I generally try to stay away from those types of games these days; they can be quite the time sink.

As for Moving Out, it's not a game I've played but one I know a lot of people like. I'm sure the sequel will be just as good, if not better going by the developer's track record.

@TheJGG Can't speak for the other FFs, but VI is accurate.

@Mioaionios To be fair, Las Vegas IS almost another world compared to a lot of the US. I just went for the first time a few months ago during a long holiday weekend. Interesting place, one I'd go back to eventually, but it is very much its own animal.

Keep in mind that the US is quite large and varied. Geographically, culturally, traditionally, linguistically....There's a lot to experience. Both in and out of cities. The trappings of places like New York City, Las Vegas, and Chicago are very different when compared to smaller cities and countrysides in The Great Plains, Midwest, wooded Northeast, etc. Heck, I live here, and there are some parts of the country I haven't been to yet....Not to mention I'd also like to visit more of the world someday.
