As someone who has primarily a pizza diet I’m the same way… unless someone else brings it or its offered to me, I personally wouldn’t get it. I have accounts with Domino’s, Papa John’s, and Little Caesars instead. I’d say value wise Domino’s is the best, with Papa John’s/Little Caesars are tied. Then there’s the local businesses which while more expensive have really good pizza.

Probably Mountain dew, green V or Redbull.

Today I reported a couple of smashed 26w CFL Sylvania Suburbans on a laneway, unfortunately they will likely just have a new lamp stuck in, since the diffusers aren't made any more.

@Econolite03, I agree with you, 100%. Pizza Hut is NOT what it use to be. It use to be so good, now it's like... "ehh, at least I ate."
Nothing worth remembering or going back for. At all. And super stale crust?... so I think that will be the last time I get Pizza Hut.
I may give in if like, my job orders Pizza Hut, or if my friends want to order Pizza Hut at their place, or my place... but other than that,
Pizza Hut is trash.

Pizza Hut ain’t what it used to be. It was better before 2017. The quality has slipped, the value isn’t great compared to other chains, and their customer service is lacking. Yum! Brands is clueless.

I got nothing special to eat either... just some Pizza Hut, stuffed crust pizza. 5... out of 10.
They gave me the pizza... I confirmed it was fresh. Why is it that the entire crust seemed... stale?
Very tough to eat -- my jaw hurt eating that pizza. :( I feel like I just ate a jaw breaker from the TV show Ed, Edd, n Eddy.

Unfortunately it looks most conventional light sources would fall under this and even some LED lamps won't fulfill that criteria. Unfortunately this will encourage manufacturers to phase out conventional lighting products and even with LEDs probably phase out the higher CRI ones in favour of lower CRI (70-90) LED...which don't look as nice as the higher CRI products.

In Canada I believe they are looking to ban fluorescent lamps by 2030, using mercury content as the reason to ban them.

Nice find! Looking at the pole it looks like they retrofitted it for some kind of remote ballasted HID, maybe MV, maybe HPS.

Toronto still has a few up but it's been a while since I've seen a functional one.

Found in Wakaw, Saskatchewan, long gone by now, also looks to be the only one.

Reason I was there is because I was looking in streetview as they are one of the very few Canadian towns that has a Federal Signal Thunderbolt siren, let alone a working one, at the fire hall.

Starting July 2028, the EPA will be expanding the lumens per watt requirement from 40lpw to 120lpw, and no longer exempting fluorescent lamps from the rules.

Unless Congress does something, of course.
