Making Ice Without Electricity
j-beda writes "Time Magazine is running an article telling us how Dave Williams is trying to make ice for third-world applications using the Hilsch-Ranque vortex-tube effect (first developed in 1930 by G.J. Ranque), where swirling air is split into hot and cold components." The method is horribly inefficient but Williams is hoping it could yield helpful results in areas where electricity is really not an option.
Like New Orleans?
fuck it
As my father lik@(munch munch)...
In conservative America, racists blame the victims.
What does racism have to do with it? I wasn't looking at the color of any one's skin, you were. Now who's the racist?
I was only considering their ignorance and idiocy at their decision to stay in a flood plain for a massive hurricane, when free busing was available to get them to higher ground.
There's people that were victims (lost their homes), and people that were stupid (lost their lives by staying in their homes).
And still I donated to the Red Cross immediately after the hurricane, and immediately before I was called an uncaring racist by most of the victims.
Ironically, the word ironically is often used incorrectly.
You might not mean to answer some of the harder questions, but I do want to know. Especially that one about your apparent "self-sufficiency". And I'd like a better answer than the circular, empty "I vote because it's better than not voting". Though your "no taxes" option really makes me curious about your self-sufficiency, and its scalability to 300M.
Or you can continue to tacitly admit that your answers are "I expect to get things to which I'm not entitled, but no one else is, though they might pay for it, because that leaves less for me". If that's what you mean by not answering.

I guess you learned how to spell "teats" in home schooling since someone with your attitude obviously would not use public education.
I think you're a homo. The best government is no government at all. Quit your god damn whining. "Bush hates black people! FEMA is racist!' Suck my wang. (I tried to post this anonymously 'cause I know this'll be modded down as a troll, but Slashdot seems to think this IP posts a lot of "bad stuff" which is nonsense. Thus I am forced to post under my registered username. Oh well. What is karma good for if not for burning?)
What is your penile percentile?
Read the recent columns by Paul Krugman (liar) and Thomas Friedman (liar) in the NYT for lots of details.

What do you need electricity for? Just stick it in the freezer.
