Oh shit, Kat is back. :sour:
Just back from the mall. This is how you can tell when an entire genre of video games has crashed and burned

Its Geodude. A pokemon.
Basically, its a magnet for a C&D letter.
There's a fertilizer plant near where I live I think, but about twenty years ago all houses nearby were emptied and demolished, I think near all chemical plants (and apparently no Dutch plants even make ammonia nitrate).

Berlin from the ISS. The streetlights still have different colors in east and west.
Huh, I never noticed that before but makes sense...
It does? I'm fairly sure all have been changed at least once since the fall of the wall.Quote:

Heh, didn't think of the fact that fixtures would be different, thanks. Of course they could produce the same lamps with different fixtures, but that's probably too much effort unless there's a good reason to change it.
Looked up if they are using LED for street lights here (and it's being piloted), and apparently we're moving away from orange lights because colour recognition isn't as good in orange light, which affects social safety.
*nods* They're doing the same in Chicago - the metal halide lamps are much more expensive, but you can use less energy since the light is perceived to be brighter. I believe LEDs are also being piloted in a few places (but not Chicago). The orange lights are also hella ugly, even if they are cheap.
There's also new designs for the head of the streetlight to increase the amount of light that is sent downwards and reduce the amount that escapes unnecessarily upwards. It's good from both an energy perspective as well as a pollution perspective.
Indeedy, certain small details like that in East Berlin are still different (some traffic lights and even some signage). I never noticed the street lights, but it makes sense.
It's actually the old fashioned gas lamps in West Berlin that will be replaces by LEDs first. The east already uses electrical lamps.Quote:
