What I don’t get, you have two top ten matchups at Oxford and Athens but SECN is showing Vandy-OU ? Who makes these schedule decisions ?

Like others said, pretty easy and almost guaranteed acceptance the first time. However, if I recall correctly you must stay current on future tax obligations during the payoff term so take that into account

18-22 weeks to start laying, not per egg. Read up on farming and egg production. Laying hens will produce 2-300 eggs per year on average once they start

150 million chickens lost is not the same as 150 million eggs lost in a year. Chickens lay considerably more than one egg per year

Suggestions? There must be an easier more affordable way to bring nuclear power back.

If it were me, I think I would start by talking to the U S Navy. They have been operating reactors for 50 + years and seem to have few problems. Think I heard that a carriers reactors could power a small city. I guess they do have one advantage in that they have unlimited water available for cooling

Thought about that so I removed the cover/globe so bulbs are exposed but did not fix problem

Flickering LED bulbs

Posted by ArkBengal on 3/2/25 at 1:27 pm

Question for any electricians. I have one two bulb ceiling fixture in the house that new LED bulbs (regular screw in type) will work fine for 2-3 months then will start a flickering action before going out.
I don't have the problem with the same bulbs in any other fixture in the house so don't think I have a system voltage problem. Lower cost LED's but they work fine in other fixtures. This has been going on for 2-3 years and drives the wife nuts and I am tired of replacing them every 2-3 months.
Should I check for loose wires or bad sockets or just replace fixture - they aren't that expensive, but I don't want to replace fixture and still have the same problem.
Edit to add, they don't flicker constantly but will do it for 5-15 seconds then go back to burn steadily. TIA
