    Well using it that way is fucking dumb.

    Conspiracists peddle the idea that “being in the Epstein files” means you rape kids, except they mean it literally. So between it being far from the literal meaning of the phrase, and it being how some people seriously misunderstand the situation, it makes it better to use some other phrase.

    The colour temperature of an incandescent lamp is, exactly and by definition, its operating temperature.

    A 2700K lightbulb will not melt steel. The glass is not that hot (you can tell because it’s not glowing itself). In any case, it’s really power that matters - a small object at 2700K will not damage steel if it’s not being continuously heated; it needs to be heated at a rate which brings the steel above its melting point before the heat can dissipate.
