  • Actually they should be connected in parallel. Because tungsten resistance increases with temperature, if one bulb starts out with a slightly higher resistance, it will get hotter faster and you will end up with inconsistent lighting or damaging that one bulbs (if not designed for operating at 120V nominal. 6 ideal bulbs in series would operate at 20V which would necessitate lower resistance and would explode at 120v). The higher temp and resistance would cause it to generate a higher than normal voltage drop/current/power, likely much more than the designed power, and the other bulbs may be much dimmer in comparison.

    Also if one bulb drops out / blows it will take out all 6. Either way the power (150W) would be the same.


  • Im pretty sure this is Love Quinn from the tv show “You.” She is like murder people to get what she wants crazy. I guess the expression is more of an “are you sure about that” or maybe something related to whatever scene this came out of idk, we in the same boat here

    Or maybe it was meant to be said with the expectation of a “no youre not” and shes upset because she takes it as him calling her crazy


  • Usually this can happen when you are owed money by an institution (bank, insurance, stocks, etc) and you either dont claim it, dont get the check, forget about it, or it happens outside of your knowledge (e.g. grandparents set up an account). In the US, you can usually check with your state’s Comptroller’s office. For example, NY has unclaimed funds under the office of the New York state comptroller

    I’d reccomend going directly to the state .gov website and looking there or making sure you have the state website if following a link. They will let you search by name for unclaimed accounts, and then after choosing the one you want to claim, it will ask for ssn, dob and name, etc. If they can verify that information, you get a check in the mail. Ive gotten a few hundred from old insurance that probably settled some account after I’d switched.
