You're about to close on your very own, suspiciously affordable and comfortable house. Just before you sign the contract, the realtor shows you the required legal disclosure: your new house is haunted by the type of presence you'll get from this spinner wheel.

Of course it is.

Craftsman lovers, you must see this perfectly preserved 1922 home in Phoenix, AZ. 2bds, 2ba, 1,678 sq ft, $665k.

Craftsmans traditionally have creamy off-white walls, but I think it looks good in green. This is a very large living room.

The layout is different in this one. The typically brick fireplace flanked by enclosed shelving and windows isn't centered, so I'm wondering if the wall between the rooms was removed to open it up.

It now houses a piano and seating, but this is clearly the dining room. It has the traditional wainscoting and beautiful built-in China cabinet.

I love the Forest Green kitchen remodel. Great choice, and the understated counter color plus subway tile backsplash tie in nicely.

They also left the original door and window.

Very nice laundry area off the kitchen.

Original hallway with the built-in linen cabinet and doors leading to the bedrooms.

This would be the primary bedroom. Look at the original glass door knob on the closet.

They're using the 2nd bedroom as a home office.

Cute bath with the original vintage tub.

Awesome yard in the back with a bonus guest house on a 7,800 sq ft lot.

Check out the beautiful guest house.

Love the colors. It has wainscoting and sliding doors to the yard.

The kitchenette has a sink and a fridge, but there's plenty of room for a stove to turn it into a rental. Next to the blue cabinet, there's a washer/dryer behind the curtain.

It has an adorable little vintage tub.

Dining room.

And, bedroom.

This is one of those things where the discourse is just completely broken. Both of these takes are shit and no one is concerned about the actual problem.

Republicans want to bring back incandescents because they just want to trigger the libs and have decided light bulbs are woke.

And the "LEDs are fine" crowd are throwing people with flicker sensitivities under the bus. And, no, you don't have to be "pretty far on the spectrum" to notice a difference. And even if you did... why in the world is this person so dismissive of the millions of autistic folks?

LEDs, for the most part, are superior to incandescent bulbs. Collectively they save people billions of dollars in energy costs and greatly reduce fossil fuel use. You have more options for color and brightness. You can control them with your phone. LEDs are fantastic.

Unfortunately there is a design flaw that makes LEDs hard to use for certain people. Due to AC power, most LEDs have a 60hz refresh rate. Meaning they turn off and on 60 times per second. With incandescents this didn't matter because the filament didn't have time to lose its glow between cycles.

Most people cannot see this flicker in LEDs. But there are millions of people who are sensitive to it and it can cause migraines and discomfort.

The solution is definitely not to go back to incandescents. There are flicker free LEDs and I think with some regulation we could make sure all LEDs are flicker free or at least make sure flicker free bulbs are easy to find and not priced at a premium.

Thankfully there is a group testing bulbs to find the ones that will most likely cause no discomfort. They call themselves the Flicker Alliance and their website has a pretty decent selection of tested and approved bulbs.

So if you feel like your LED bulbs might be causing you distress, that is a good resource to try. I think there is also something you can do to make sure the LED drivers are using DC power, but I haven't really looked into that.
