Could be a coincidence. Maybe every time you drove by, it was mid off-cycle, and then this time it happened to be on. I suppose an intermittently working ignitor could be the cause, but IDK if that is likely. Some lamps take really long to cycle, I have seen one that takes around a half hour to cycle off.

Or maybe it is some sort of other intermittent connection, that is possible.

So a few months ago I was driving by a church that is on my route, and I noticed something really weird. The Ael 115 on the side of it was really nice and lit up. Except, my whole life living around here, I’ve never seen it turn on. Then the next day, the light was dead. Pitch black over there like usual. I’ve seen this happen to some other fixtures in my area too, it’s really rare, but really weird. What do you guys think happens to make them stay turned on for one night but then cycle the next night?

It's similar to fishing—you have to wait...

Either you get a detailed answer here from people who are really knowledgeable,
or you can look for the answer in other books, but not online as a PDF.

Other book titles are:

- Lamps and Lighting, H. Hewitt

These books are available secondhand.

Pizza Hut over here is pretty decent, better than Domino's I'd say.

Though the top of the pizza base is sometimes a little undercooked.

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.

But In the advert it says “devoted to the dough”

Lowes here has started selling Utilitech store brand CFLs

I do see what you mean!

Looks a little bit like our AEI Optispec, which was loosely based on the Atlas Alpha 3.

I kind of got a taste for this over Christmas 🤪

Lucky!

This seems to contradict our Dear Leader's love for old and inefficient technologies, as he specifically attempted to reverse bans on incandescent lamps and high-flow bathroom fixtures.

Your reply makes you sound like a condescending, partisan idiot. Just saying... I don't exactly agree with his policies, but I also don't treat his every word with derision and certainly don't call him 'Dear Leader'...
