In a true emergency, I don't know that it matters whether or not you're licensed.

I agree though that getting licensed might be useful for knowing how to use it.

It's a quote from the comedy movie "Blades of Glory"

I think the issue is that color blindness is typically the result of a physical abnormality with the rods/cones in the retina.

Your claim is essentially akin to saying a black-and-white printer could somehow print in color. It's a physical impossibility. Whether certain substances could trick the brain into believing it can see colors is another story altogether.

That said, there are forms of color blindness that are caused by neurological issues, but those are far more rare.

There is something to be said about this particular style of argument, as it's akin to the "paradox of tolerance".

Ultimately I think the most fair thing is to let both sides attempt to build support until a clear victor emerges.

I'm not saying that Firefox on Android has significant market share; rather that Android has significant market share, and those users could be served by switching to Firefox solely for the purpose of using an adblocker.

If all Android users did this, something would change.

Firefox on Android supports it without any issue. That would cover a significant enough segment of the population that it might encourage actual change in the industry if people started moving to that platform.

You'd be required to jump through the hoops to get your custom firmware approved by the necessary regulatory bodies, just as Tesla did for theirs.

It's not really feasible for a private owner, so I can see why it's not offered as an option.

I live in a not-so-great area of town. There were two murders in the last 6 months. One in my neighborhood, and the other in an adjacent public park.

The always-on lighting is a deterrent to anyone trying to hide from police.

The lights are indeed outdoor, and cover most of my backyard. It's a neighborhood within a major metropolitan area, but the light doesn't bleed beyond my property lines.

As for the "why", the answer is security. If someone attempts to hide in my yard, they'll find it quite difficult to remain unseen.

Most of my neighbors have floodlights of their own (though mine are easily the brightest), and I've gotten no complaints in the years I've had them. If any of my neighbors voiced concerns about them, I would try to work with them to find a solution. I have to live next to them, so it only makes sense to stay on good terms.

I have a pair of PAR38 LED bulbs from Cree Lighting (2100 lumens) that are rated for 25,000 hours. They're in a flood-light mounted under the eaves of my house.

I never got around to putting them on a dusk-to-dawn timer, so they've been burning 24/7 since I purchased them at the end of 2020 (except for the occasional power outage, of course). I paid $20/each for them.

Sample size of 1 (technically 2), but there are definitely products on the market that meet your criteria.

As the saying goes, "past performance is not indicative of future results"

It's 40% of the _starter dose_ (2.5 mg), which is what patients begin taking to get their bodies accustomed to the drug. The "maintenance dose" that patients build up to can be many times higher (10-15 mg).

40% of the starter dose (40% of 2.5mg = 1mg) would be between 6-10% of the "maintenance dose" (betweeen 10-15mg).

Not all supporters of a given political party agree on everything. They may simply align with the party on the topics that are most important to them, even if they disagree with other topics that are lower on their priority list.

It is disingenuous to suggest that any group of people unilaterally agree on a diverse collection of topics.

Not to mention that these "phone books" also included everyone's address, and married couples were usually listed together.
