but solid wood floors are kinda hard to drill through
it's not a wall issue shoulda specified... oh well also i rent from relatives who told me to just use wifi...

Great.. great. Another xkcd link.

you know that makes you look like a moron, right?

The moon is not a planet, so neither did we.

i had more depression trying to work for a living than i do collecting social security. when you face insurmountable problems there is a lot of depression... when you don't realize you're causing the insurmountable problems it leads to failed suicide attempts because lets face it, you're gonna try pills and you'll do it wrong.

i am better now and i am on medicine. it feels good to be alive now. and the only problems i face are ones me or others put before me. and since i am not fabricating evil self destructive thought with no one to stop it, well i can actually do things to feel good about now. i was very very depressed when i was younger because i played out in my mind doing bad things to people, the darker my thoughts the worse i felt but at the time it felt like striking out against the world the man etc. when i put the pieces together i realized i was actually sabatoging my own well being it took a long time, because in my social life i looked for the 'right words to say' instead of the 'right way to tell people what you want from them' so there was a lot of darkness in my life because i was causing it. it took time and medication to fix, and now i am much happier. i don't have may friends except online but i am much better now.

What's wrong with my posting history, you fucktard?

Once in a lifetime.

I'm just crazy enough to build this! Aren't I fucking clever?

I'm surprised that no one is modding you down for your trolling comments.

Clearly a troll, not that there's anything wrong with it.

shut up you fucking twat-waffle.

Never underestimate the power of marketing, especially the guilt-based marketing endemic to "green" foods. Someone will start selling insects as food marketing it as good for the environment, an alternative to factory-farmed meat, having a low carbon footprint, or whatever, and environmentally-conscious types will line up to buy them in droves. Some vegetarians will eat animals like fish, one argument being that simpler life forms like fish don't experience pain and suffering like cows and pigs do, so there's probably that market, too.

You're not going to see bugburgers at McDonald's any time soon, but this kind of stuff will be hitting the organic/whole/alternatives foods markets within a few years, I'm sure.

Insecticides, like nearly all poisons, are not fatal at sufficiently low dosages. Poisons are frequently rating with a system called "LD50" which tells you what dosage is lethal for 50% of test subjects exposed to it, e.g., the the LD50 of nicotine is 50 mg/kg for rats, 3 mg/kg for mice, and 30-60 mg/kg for human beings.

And a lot if insecticides will bioaccumulate in human beings (being fat-soluble, rather than water-, they build up in human fat tissues), so if a person eats enough of the insecticide, over time they may end up carrying a harmful or fatal dose of it.

We already eat some insects: Skittles and other glazed candies use the lac bug. Red food dye comes from the cochineal scale insect.

Do those efficiency numbers take everything into account, or is that just the efficiency of the fuel input to energy output?

That is, I'd rather have a 2%-efficient power source that I could just plant in my back yard and forget about, than a 57%-efficient one that I'm constantly buying fuel for, periodically maintaining, and so on. Maybe it'll take half an acre of these "power plants" to give you the same amount of energy as one engine---but if that's half an acre of trees that grow on their own, unassisted, just like natural plants, isn't it more efficient on the whole than a mechanical engine?

No, that information would be regulated by the ATF.
