Godammn vacuum cleaner broke. Took it apart, its just a part of the brush roller that is broken. Should be an easy fix. But they don't sell spare parts for my vacuum. They never have, they just want you to buy a new one. So one little easily replaced plastic bit makes the whole thing into non-functional mostly plastic waste. The vacuum is even clearly designed to be easily repaired, it's one of the most intelligently laid out appliances I've ever seen.
But it's not profitable to sell spare parts, so I have to send this thing to a landfill if I can't figure out some ghetto fix. This intentional wastefulness is one of the things that pisses me off about capitalism nearly every day.
Well you have to appreciate that's anecdotal evidence, and presuming that you're using both kinds of bulb in the same way there's really no reason why that should be happening. Like for like, a CFL bulb should last anywhere from 6-15 times longer than an incandescent, and an LED should last more like 25 times longer. This doesn't mean that all CFL bulbs will last that long, there's always defective units, power fluctuations, ambient temperature, high numbers of cycles - these can all reduce the lifespan of a bulb.
Unless you're using especially cheap bulbs, I'd guess your usage or power supply isn't conducive to long bulb life.
