  1. Re:Better yet on Self-Parking Car Available In Japan · · Score: 1
    an hour of parking in new york city is $1.50 in most areas. an hour of driving about 20 mph is 20 miles obviously. an average car lets say gets 20 miles to the gallon. gas costs more than $1.50 per gallon in most areas.

    this is a gross oversimplification, but cost efficiency is about the same. the real solution is to bring a friend to sit in the car and read with the emergency lights on. cop comes, they can move, and they don't need to pay for parking.

    what happens when we forget how to park cars ourselves? technology is good, but people are getting too darn lazy these days. is parking really that hard? survey says: only for old people

  3. Re:Heat vs. Light on An Enlightened Look at an Over-Lighted World · · Score: 1
    .....global warming? are you even talking about the right phenomenon?
    global warming isn't about "i'm doing my part for the environment by not turning on this electric stove"---its not about heat production

    global warming (if it indeed exists) has to do with greenhouse gases. these gases (such as C02 and H20) allow heat to permeate through from the outside (heat from the sun gets in), but then slows the rate at which heat energy is lost from the atmosphere (the heat stays in). thus, out heat production isn't the cause of the problem. its greenhouse gases. the sun's heat energy would naturally increase global temperatures without help from our heat sources.

    please please please know something about what you say.
