Light Bulb Replacements
LoveOO writes Boston.com has a story about three companies which are trying to replace the Light bulb. I say it's about time and what about hydrogen powered vehicles? Two things that annoy me are filling the gas tank and changing light bulbs. It's time we did alot less of both."
I think we should go farther. Encourage the use of energy efficient technologies by forcing the consumer to pay the cost up front. Tax the incandescents till so that they're the same price as the LEDs (or floresents currently ~$10-15).
While we're at it, lets make SUV owners pay a yearly environment tax that pays for the damage they wouldn't have done if they drove a more efficient vehicle.
i don't like my old sig.
You'd think after all of these years someone would learn how to spell the words "a lot".
There is no such thing as alot, the word is meaningless.
a lot on the other hand is quite useful: to a very great degree or extent; "we enjoyed ourselves very much"; "she was very much interested"; "this would help a great deal"
it's a sig, wtf?
The part where gun aficionados always omit the phrase "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State." And no, "well-regulated militia" does not imply that any bozo can possess any type of firearm without limitations, quite the contrary.
HYDROGEN POWER as a replacement to fossil fuels is A MYTH! There is NO WAY to generate hydrogen that doesn't use fossil fuels to begin with, or take more energy than the hydrogen will generate!
The quicker people realize this, the quicker we'll be able to move on to the next "great idea."
Green is a mix of blue and yellow. Green is a secondary color, not a primary.
Hammer of Truth
The major problem I see is: "How many blondes does it take to change a light emitting diode?" just doesn't seem as funny.
