I did literally that.

The real solution is regulatory, though, because obviously my boycott has done absolutely fuck-all to change manufacturer behavior.

That assumes they wouldn't deliberately want it to look like shit and have obvious remnants of Trump's name afterwards.

There's a better way that doesn't even require a wizard.

Tap for spoilerIt's Linux, and using a package manager.

You know what's really fucked up? The zoning code (at least in my area) mandates minimum parking requirements for bars. The law expects people to drive to them and enforces that behavior to be accommodated!

If an open flame matters, so does the fuel producing it. As such, the only open flame cooking anybody should care about is a charcoal or wood grill outside.

You say that as if saving $10 on a bulb once every few years is worth the risk of spending $100s or apparently even $1000s if they get damaged.

There are reasons cars have been getting ever more unaffordable (above and beyond inflation), and stuff like bespoke model-specific headlights requiring complicated tooling to manufacture is one of them.

Garak is right there.

My Miata with pop-up sealed beams gets ~30 MPG. Any aerodynamic problems it has are due to being a convertible, not the headlights.

Uniforms do not work that way!

Quark himself, on the other hand, ought to be wearing the most garish rainbow Ferengi suit imaginable.

Meanwhile, only 30 years ago when we had sealed-beams in standardized shapes, you could replace a headlight for like $10. And the lens was actually glass instead of plastic prone to yellowing and abrasion.

Yes, but also it can get worse.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
