F Minus by Tony Carrillo for October 23, 2018

uh… right (and it’s not YET making you two choke on carbon monoxide)

Wait’ll you see the tiny fireman.

Open the flue! Open the flue!

Guess its safer than the nuclear bulb.

I guess whoever came up with the compact fluorescent (costs ten times what a normal bulb does, burns out in two weeks, can’t be used in areas of high humidity, vibration, or on a dimmer, and requires hazardous-material treatment to dispose of it) needed something new to justify their existence.

Me, I’m this close to going back to whale oil.

I don’t spose the color is indicative or anything – or one.

No, no, no! When it gets dark, you go to bed. That way you won’t use electricity which means we won’t use coal and you’ll help save the planet.

Not just the middleman: it eliminates all mankind.

you know, there are some things called ‘candles’. Some people use them in birthday cakes

Another donny dump energy savings plan!

Finally finished LED conversion of my house when LED shop lights became available for the workshop (MUCH brighter than fluorescents). New oven already came with LEDs.

I suppose it beats the plutonium bulb!

Burn tiny lump of coal → Boiler makes puff of steam → runs mini-turbine → spins generator →one watt LED. YES!

Before we had light bulbs there were arc lamps, which were carbon (kind of like coal) rods powered with electricity.

Arc light.

tRump would love it.

All those Republican d-bags in Washington would love that!
