Hmmm... actually, it appears to be the same photo. I'm guessing yours was taken off a screen?

I 100% agree. It'll suck to be her, but we need her to ask the questions and take notes. There will be more elections, and if/when Dems are back in power, it sure would be nice to have a record of the immoral, unethical, and illegal shit that the GOP did while in power.

What do you suggest our represenatives do as an alternative? Give up? Say and do nothing for 4 years?

As painful and exasperating of a job it's going to be, we still need idealists like AOC to go and do their best, even while in the minority.

Back in the (late) 90s, for $10 or so, Elwood would record a customized "you've got mail!" message for you. I had him create one for my (now) wife, using her real first name, as well as her nickname. "Elizabeth, you've got mail!"

Never. Never is the correct answer. He's been delusional his whole life.

Heat.

While the actual LEDs (*) may be rated up to 20,000 hours+ in optimum circumstances, but the actual 3rd party bulb manufacturers, especially the cheapo brands, are building bulbs with poor heat dissipation designs and cheap and/or poorly designed circuits. Same goes for other parts they may use, such as the power supply. To reach 20,000+ hours, you need everything - not just the LED - to be working optimally together.

(*) the best LED makers out there right now, e.g. Nichia, Cree, Phillips - really do some amazing engineering.
