I don't think that's what they're describing, but rather if you bet one side on one app and the other side on another with free money, you're guaranteed to win. For example, if I put $25 on the Celtics to cover the spread on Draft Kings and $25 on their opponent to cover on Fanduel, it's a guaranteed win with no risk because the bets are made with free bonuses (assuming the spread/odds are the same on each site)

Kind of? It is with overly bright tail lights. The standard for how bright a light should be is stated in watts. That was fine for incandescent lights but watt is a description of power, not brightness. So when more efficient led lights came out they still needed to be a certain wattage and are too bright for purpose. Example my led lights in the house are 850 luminaries. They are approx equivalent to a 40w bulb. They only draw 8 watts.

They only spend the winter in eastern Mass (this one is probably a visitor from Canada) but there are nesting spots scattered all over western and northern New England. If you walk up and down the Charles this time of year and closely scan the water and skies you'll have a decent chance of spotting one. I had one fly right over my car at the Route 20 bridge in Watertown one time.

It reads like this guy wanted a soapbox to share how smart he is for taking the money and walking. You know, like what's been discussed heavily the past week, and what tons of people are doing without writing an op-ed about it. Nothing novel, then the one kind of interesting part about taxes is dumped in at the end like an afterthought.

Tbh I've started using my brights specifically because other cars' headlights blind me and I need every bit of clarity I can get and brights help me with that.

It sucks but when the majority of cars either have blinding lights or are pickups/sun's which also have blinding lights. I'm pretty certain that brights are substantially less bright than those two groups anyway
