She made an important scientific breakthrough.

In my opinion, thats very sexy. 10/10, five stars.

Really? It think of sexy and scientifically-productive as kind of orthogonal qualities. Case in point: Marie Curie was undeniably brilliant, but I wouldn't have much of an urge to sleep with her.

Comment Summer cooling? (Score 4, Interesting) 247

Here's something I've been curious about. I would expect that if there's a between the solar panels and the roof, this would lead the attic to stay a lot cooler in the summer. Because the sun would be mostly heating up the panels and not the roof. Anyone know if that can significantly reduce the temperature of a home's living spaces?

I'm not sure chicken wire will reliably keep out rats. I once had a rat in my basement, and it caused no end of problems for me. The little bastard actually ate through my sump pump's power wire (in addition to other stuff). I found this out when my sump pump well produced a lot of small flies from what I assume was the rat's electrocuted, rotted corpse.

Seriously - don't underestimate the ability for rodents, especially rats, to gnaw through strong metal for no discernible reason.
