Well if I had the money Silo Home

And this is when I wish I could mod funny someone who responds to my comments :)

So can you pee into the air and let it evaporate before it hits the ground rather than wasting water to flush toilets?

...sorry for some reason your post made that image pop into my head...

I think the water behind dams may have a higher evaporation rate. Though my understanding of the Colarado river and such, the bigger issue is that diversion for irrigation is leading to the river essentially drying up before it reaches the ocean.

Glad it works for you, I'm still waiting for it to be affordable to me. My typical monthly electric bill is $50 a month so half that would be $300 a year or 16 years 8 months of operation with no maintenance to pay for itself.

Just bemoaning my predicament though... enjoy your solar :)

I don't think its so much the strong emotional attachments so much as evolution doesn't do much for the fear of death whereas religion does. Could be wrong though...

Wish more people that had more influence than I do would speak out about these things. Thanks!

Actually I'm just picking the first data I could find searching on google and too lazy to search any further for data supporting one way or the other. Works good when work is boring the S out of me...

I eat fast food or less than healthy restaurants at least a couple times a week and my wife's cooking from scratch isn't exactly healthy but it is damn tasty. I'm 5'9 and 145 pounds (OK 148 but working my way back down again...). I can't say for sure what keeps me at a healthy weight but I think it's bringing in one lunch bag of food and eating that throughout my work day. Probably ~750 calories. Then having a plate of food for dinner.

I also try to lift weights and hit the bike three times a week but working OT lowers how often that happens. So I don't think its really exercise that is my "diet", just not eating a lot. There is some to be said for quality vs quantity but my quality is pretty lousy and I'm still pretty healthy from low quantity.

Did you read the parts where I said very short and variants? What I'm pointing out is there are things within the trend that need to be understood better. Also the linked graph indicates either cooling or leveling out in temperature over the past decade.

Interesting though when someone states I'm not saying there is no global warming, just that we need to understand it better that the responses are often defensive. I'm not attacking global warming, just saying to continue research with an open mind while we decide what to do.
