here's what I will tell you. the major carriers, #AT&T, #verizon and the other major carriers like #lumen and #fronteer will be sorry when a #giomagnetic #storm, and/or a #hurricane #katrina level event occurs and no one can call anyone anymore. #telecommunications was supposed to be a utility, not a cash grab. in fact, I worked for a gas station that literally ran on a #landline. so to lose the ability to make calls/receive calls to and from a landline because "property tax" and "it's too hard to maintain" is a stupid reason. in fact, the electricity requirements are very low, about 48v per call. you can literally runs several dusen calls with a hundred waughts as long as it can output 48v because the landlines only run at about 2/3v at any given time, and are pretty much on demand. and the #salt #typhoon #breech makes this fcc ruling even worse, because it's extremely bad timing. the remote management of #fiber connections with a computer is exactly the problem. you can't remotely get into a copper wired landline remotely from an office in beijing because it's physically impossible to do so. and the #property #tax / #taxes excuse? save the bowlshit! you are, in fact, causing even more of a proprty tax burden when you are running an #ai #datacenter or a fiber network because of not only the power required to run it, which is hundreds of times more than a copper line, but also the amount of power you are buying, which accounts for not just servers, but also NPU's, GPU's, bandwidth, etc. and you won a clamer running landline is expensive to maintain, yeah, fuck you, fellas at the #fcc . you'll be sorry when something like a nother hurricane Katrina level event happens and your customers bale on you because they don't have assurance that they can get connected with their families, let alone call #911 in crisis. reminds me of a song from #familyguy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ru0VHLumdI

Op verpakkingen van (slimme) lampen zie je vaak hoeveel lumen een lamp heeft. Dit is een maat voor de helderheid van de lamp. Maar hoeveel heb je nodig in verschillende ruimtes? En maakt de kleurtemperatuur nog iets uit?

In de ene kamer heb je meer licht nodig dan in de andere

Zo zit het met lumen, lux en wattage bij slimme ledlampen.

Just came back from a treacherous pre-dawn hike in the #woods. Started off with a wintery mix of #snow and freezing rain. A lot of the snow on the roads melted just enough to be coated in black ice. Once on the trails, there was enough old crunchy snow for stable traction. Barely any wind and just the soft pitter-patter of the now #rain tapping the snow.

Incredibly peaceful...until I crossed paths with *five* coyotes. And that was my cue to turn back. The first two scattered when they saw me. The remaining three were hidden in the brush about 15 feet from me. Their eyes lit up like Times Square when I scanned the area with my headlamp.

Here in #Massachusetts the #coyote is a wolf/coyote hybrid. They are the size of German Shepherds and do *not* fear #humans.

On a side note: I run a dual #headlamp system. A 1,000 #lumen one mounted on my head and an 850 lumen one secured to my sternum strap as a flood light. This flexible #system gives me two *independent* #light sources. Had I only been using the flood light I wouldn't have even seen them.

Good morning!

LUMEN 5.1 (1999)

Acrylic on Canvas - 30" x 20"



The shape of the opening admitting the glare of light is somewhat like a diagram of an eye, with the circle held by the figure representing the iris. The further one goes outward the greater one can see inward.
