solarbirdI know this is a weird thing to go off about, but I opened a new box of LED light bulbs and kinda freaked out because of old, old muscle memory.
At left is an old incandescent bulb I still have. At far right is the brand new LED. All the bulbs are in order of age/purchase, from ancient incandescent to the first reasonable-light-quality LED to an improved middle version (still quite heavy!) to a nice plastic bulb from last year.
The two on the edges are glass.
They’ve finally pulled off exact replacement. The texture and even the weight are right. (I checked; the LED is 3g heavier but I can't tell that just holding it in my hand.)
They've finally done it. It's so weird.
Full circle.
Wow.
