At least the tradition is keeping on, keeping on!!

And to think the alternate being clung to was gas lights,

Which are proven to emit CO as well as whole bunch of other nasties

I hear sound operates between 20Hz and 20kHz as well... don't even get me started on light.... we're all doomed

Edison did mount a pretty screwed up campaign against AC current though!

This film is all about it https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2140507/

If Covid-19 had been about back then Edison would have probably blamed that on AC current!

Electrickery, you say? What is this? Witchcraft?

Burn the heretic!

The Catweazle ref probably lost on many under a 'certain' age.

Loved that show when I was younger.

Actually found some eps online recently - Still made me smile.

The use of Electricity for lighting is in no way harmful to health, nor does it affect the soundness of sleep.

I'm not sure - I saw ad advert somewhere earlier this year - imdb says it was released here in late February - so got clobbered with lockdown.

The film was actually released overseas initially in 2017 - but there was a lot of dissatisfaction with it and they reedited the film - so the 2020 version is called the directors cut.

I 'found it' *somewhere* during lockdown - But I think its back on at cinemas at the moment.

Hmm - Yep - Screening at the movies right now around the country: https://www.flicks.co.nz/movie/the-current-war/
