re: #423 Cato the Elder

Fucking curly bulbs. No one bothered to tell me that they last less long than the regular old bulbs if you stick ‘em in a chandelier with a dimmer switch. So last year I replaced all five ordinary bulbs in my dining room with curlies, at the cost of $16.95 each. Almost $90, including tax. Fuckers all dead now. Never again.

So don’t put them in a chandelier with a dimmer switch. They are still the best bang for the buck in terms of normal usage. I have some that have lasted coming onto three years now.
