Well if you can prove the time distortion that's a lot of over time at least.

One of the headlights in my car burned out the other day. This morning I bought a replacement bulb. Normally, I would just buy the cheapest one, but since the next level up was only about $2.50 more, I thought I would try it. So I have one new, mid-grade bulb, and one el-cheapo bulb (that is at least 2 or 3 years old, but no more than 4), and I can't tell a damned bit of difference between them.
Well, there is always a chance the price went into durability. Check again in 5 years.

That would be hilarious! :DAlso, I'm not entirely sure that's a real groundhog.Please tell me it was a guy in a groundhog suit who bit off the mayor's ear.No, that's why they have the guy in the suit, because the Jimmy bit off part of the mayor's ear but then had developed a taste for it and kept trying to bite off people's ears even through a muzzle and had to be retired.
As soon as they stopped letting him bite people's ears his prognostications have gone in the toilet.

MrT is still at the hospital. MRI didnt happen yesterday (hospital is a bit gummed up due to covid)
He's on a light heart monitor, so that means he can now go to the bathroom himself, as the heart monitor he has now is portable. This pleases him.
So when he first got in they confirmed, yes, he had a heart attack, and his heart is damaged. But to dotter and place a stent, usually you have to be admitted within 6 to 12 hours. He was waaaaaaaaaaaaay past that.
I hope he can get an MRI today. It could be that he still gets surgery, if they deem it helpfull for his heart. But we're playing the waiting game.

Ugh. Those of us in the U.S. know that game all too well. "Just another hour or two" is code for, "You're going to be here overnight and there's nothing you can do about it."
Crossing my fingers that it's something as mild as possible.

As a fellow driver, that's a Good Thing.
In order of annoyingness/danger to other drivers, we have:
(1) No lights
(2) Overly-bright halogen lights that blind you (how I hate those)
(3) One light out
(4) Mismatched lights
I agree with Drejk; it's likely the $2.50 went to better-quality parts. Let's hope.

Yes, when it comes to car parts the extra money is spent on durability.
I actually had almost this exact conversation with our mechanic at work and was confirmed by Tiny.

Something that I think should be in ALL cars: Audi/Mercedes/BMW have been working on, and have put into production, laser (not LED, but actual laser) headlights with sensors that keep the lasers from emitting at oncoming vehicles and even pedestrians. You can still see them, but they aren't blinded by it. Complicated and expensive, but I think the payoff in both visibility and safety is worth it.
Except they're not legal in the US.

Oh, weird. In WW's family, they lick thei thumb, press the thumb to the palm of their other hand, whack the palm with the other fist, say, "cock-eye padiddle," and then they can claim a kiss from anyone in the car.
Punching is simpler.

You kiss your brothers? Because on our trips it was our parents in the front, then the three brothers in the back. Not exactly a place I'd actively want to get a kiss from any of them. (I know many parents who kiss their kids; I never knew a kid who liked it, much less would ask for it.)

Still no MRI for MrT.
If they cant plan him in for friday, he is allowed to go home to wait for an MRI apointment.
You're sure you didn't accidentally end up in the U.S. healthcare system?

I'm sure. Its due to covid. MrT his condition is not dire. So any patient who can not wait, has to go first. Also, covid means they can not take him to another hospital to get checked out, which would normally happen in a case like this.
If a patient with covid needs an MRI, it means that the whole MRI machine and room has to be disinfected, thoroughly. Which causes extra delays.
