Comment Re:nature will breed it out (Score 1) 950

If you change "male" to "female" then that's exactly what feminists were saying back in the 60s. You can fix the problem by adopting feminist ideals. Feminists want the same liberation for men, always have.

Meanwhile your fellow SJW PopeRatzo is busy razzing men for being unmasculine "pissbabies"; the masculine idea, of course, is to never complain.

Comment Re:Circular logic (Score 1) 216

It's completely in accordance with Smith v. Maryland, which is the controlling law. Smith v. Maryland involved one tap on one person's phone; it's been used to cover the NSA bulk metadata collection program, thus proving the slippery slope is not a fallacy.

It'll take the robed 9 to overturn it, but they likely won't.

Comment Re:Transmission loss (Score 1) 299

It's not transmission losses. Turning fuel into electricity at large scale is 40% efficient. Turning electricity into heat with resistance heaters is 100% efficient. Turning fuel into heat at small scale is ~85% efficient with a regular furnace, ~95% efficient with a high-efficiency furnace. The big gain in using fuel for heat instead of electricity is avoiding the Carnot limit, not transmission losses.

"need to be installed at least a foot and a half off the ground"

For what purpose? That old wives' tale of putting a battery on the ground causing it to discharge or drain is absolute bullshit.

Cooling, most likely. Charging and discharging a battery results in heat; this battery is probably designed to take cool air in at the bottom and discharge warm air at the top.
