Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

Complain to your city council. They can make LEDs any color now.
They even make bright LEDS with 592nm frequency light (the same that sodium vapor bulbs give off).
Such a narrow band was great because it meant your rods did most of the work.
You can literally see better in the orange light.
There's also awesome new streetlights which will fade off when there's no traffic and fade back on when a car comes through, adjusting the brightness depending on the quantity of tradfic
Any city that has already paid to install them is not likely to pay again to change the color.
They can just replace them as the old ones die, and use the better color in new installations
