  1. Re:Hey California, I have a solution for you on Sweden Is Closing Many Prisons Due to Lack of Prisoners · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There's a very good reason for that.
    People who put themselves forward and offer services as a politician should be the last choice to fill that position.
    People of sound mind, kind heart and good will should be extorted into fulfilling that duty, if we are ever to be a success.

    Admittedly, it would have to be something like a dome for the average heater on the 'tube, or a small house. There are some though, suited to task, like the guy in Connecticut with the 60' dome greenhouse. His mass heater is under the sand/pebble floor, and he is regulating temp. for an aquaponics system
    So to keep fish, banana trees, vegetables happy in Feb. he goes through a 40 lb bag of wood pellets, daily,But then that is the dead of winter in Conn. and it is a greenhouse and he's running a lot of fan assisted pipe under that.
    The radiant energy from this IS nice and if you noticed the drum in the video, that part DOES supply immediate radiant heat until the cob can dispense its supply.
    I have a friend heating a garage/shop with one this year and so far it's pretty damn amazing, on a concrete floor, cinder block building. But then it hasn't gotten below 35 F here yet. So far I'm sold.

    Never heard of the Repubmocrat tyranny. Well, if the majority of the U.S. populace can be suckered into trading freedom for comfort and security, maybe the rest of the world should check themselves.

    I like to season it, then split it, so I don't break my back whacking needlessly with the maul. Storing in a dry place decreases the amount of stress you have lighting it after seasoning.

    Because it takes a whole lot less wood and the output amounts to some steam, the heat from a few handfuls of wood can heat for a couple days at 30F in some cases.
    A lot like dome architecture for tornado and hurricane states, local official morons need to be educated about the " cutting edge" antiquities at our disposal.
    Rocket mass heaters would easily save loads over gas, coal oil, electricity, and have the advantage of not being a polluting, costly mess like the aforementioned.
    Of course it doesn't drive commerce, so you get to pay for electing idiots or do some very hard convincing, because after all, we're talking about bureaucrats.

  22. Re:EVEN CRIMINALS HAVE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS !! on Bitcoin Donations To US Campaigns Might Soon Be Allowed · · Score: 2

    Let's just save some money and do this right for a change.
    First; gather all political donations to ALL candidates regardless of party. In fact,this includes every party right down to the independents only registered in one state.
    Then; organize a 50 states in 50 days tour like Lollapalooza. ( If George Thorogood can do it, someone wanting to be president can do it.)
    Make them all ride in the same bus, no consulting with campaign managers who will be left behind, along with cell phones.
    All day debates on 5 stages. Everyone is given a chance on a level playing field to show their stuff for the voters with no bullshit drama to distract from the naked( so to speak) candidates.Then finally at the end have an all week television debate on network t.v. for those not disposed to crowds. Any remaining money could be spread across charities.
    THIS is the way the voters need to see candidates. Naked, without a net, without aid, talking about what they would do and why, without any interference from "image" protectors or speech writers. Who the fuck cares what a campaign manager tells a candidate to say? The campaign manager is sitting home rich, while his candidate ruins the country. Time for change. Be smart about it this time.

    I think you've missed the point as I predicted others would.
    I can see the authors point, but I doubt that his target beyond /. would.
    The average /.er is equipped to take in his mouthful, but I'm afraid he lost the mildly interested, the fanboys, the wannabees and the skimmers. Outside of /. his logic would be lost without an editor.
    Essentially "Comparing the big number of hydrocarbon-powered vehicles which caught fire with the 3 cases of Tesla cars is, to put it very mildly, totally misleading !!" is kind of his point, sideways. His fear is that the recently , highly scrutinized by media, Tesla will be unfairly characterized by its ratio of burning contrasted to the burning ratio of infernal combustion agony wagons. Therefore he would like to see a fair reporting of the situation in order to satisfy his fan-boy security blanket.

    Yes, they're nasty smelly places. The problem is, when you have a world full of people waiting on their hamburger, it takes a world full of cattle to be eaten.
    This takes a lot of acreage that can't be spared. So, much beef is raised by Mega-feed yards who service mega clients like; McDonalds and their ilk, entire state public school systems and prisons, Big box stores like WartMart that people are willing to buy MORE of this CHEAP beef INCREASING the demand.

    What can I say? Get your beef from good sources, Butcher shops, farmers, small beef processing shops, health food stores (you gotta try the Beefallo) and even some fine restaurants will sell you prime-grade A Beef. Some is even advertised as being free range and/or chemical free. Failing that raise your own.
    Don't come whining to me about cost. I come from the other end of your problem where cost is still the problem. Dont like it? Go buy a corporate death-burger.
    That is the state of the world today. Horrible, but at least you still have options.
