It doesn't make economic sense, perhaps, but once the excess production reaches a certain level, it will.

You are completely missing the point. But hey go explain that to all the New Yorkers that just love to brag about their house in upstate (or even their NYC apartment) that has no AC.

It's a cultural phenomenon. If you've ever lived there or known anyone who lives there (or heard hours-long rants from certain now-dead radio hosts that used to live there), you'll know that old-school New Yorkers see non-AC households as a mark of pride or honor or . . . something. It's weird but it's a thing.

Yes and we still have to be careful the tests are testing what we want to test not some other behavior we didn't understand.

Even something as simple as training a dog to sit can go horribly wrong if you and your dog have a different idea of what the goal is.

Yep...if you're your not careful with too many "counting crows", you might end up with them thinking they're a BAND...

So...CA requires you to be 18yrs old to buy just a BB gun!?!?!?

I know they are hard gun control out there, but sheesh...a BB gun?

I bought my first BB guns that I saved for with my allowance when I was like in 4th grade....no ID necessary for buying the BB rifle (Daisy) or ammo (BBs).

Alaska is north of the US Canadian border.

Lessee....

Alaska is part of the US, right?

Alaska has a border with Canada, right?

Now....think carefully...what would you call this?

You'd love snobs from New York. They brag about not having AC all the time! Or at least they used to.

Why in the world would they do that?!?!?

While I've never thought of it as anything to "brag" about...if I did, I would be bragging that my house is set up to where I am comfortable in it at 72-75F 24/7/365......

Alternatively, excess power can be used to produce synthetic alkanes.

The wolves are building the hen house.

Yes, the effort you put into posting "Don't care" definitely shows the kind of hard work you put into your apathy.

Soon to come: new Microsoft feature that requires webcam to be active when displaying the screen; it actively monitors for cameras

My first thought was even simpler than that...my first thought was:

Who the fuck uses Edge?

I can't imagine any other occupation where a lack of experience is seen by some as a positive note. All that would happen is even heavier reliance on bureaucrats and lobbyists to write legislation. It's like insisting first year med students would make way better doctors than someone with 20 years under their belt. It's absurd, and demonstrates the nihilism and idiocy of populist politics.

But what if I'm looking for non-dairy cheese adhesives?

Elmers and anchovies.....

Now THAT's good eatin' !!!
