Battery Experiment using John Daniell's 1836 methods

oritteropo says...

A little bit light on either the theory, expected outcome, or details of the original battery. He doesn't seem to have a terribly good grasp either of chemistry or electrical theory.

According to Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia, the original Daniell cell produced approx 1.1v. This should have been enough to get at the very least a dim glow in the 1.5v lamp.

Fracking: Things Find A Way

notarobot says...

Be careful how you change your bulbs. The 5 mg of mercury in a single CFL is enough to make as much as 50,000 litres of water undrinkable according to Canadian drinking water standerds. One or two lamps doesn't sound like much, but a million lamps means a lot of pollution.

As far as Fraking goes, the only controversy is how these companies continue to get away with it. Water means life. *Quality PSA.

>> ^Peroxide:

If you cut out all the back and forth rhetoric that inevitably spews between oil(and gas) corporations and communities who want clean air and water and a future, it all comes down to neoclassical economics' false dichotomy.
Corporations (and left and right wing politicians who over romanticize the free market) will tell citizens,
"you can either have:
a) a strong economy, or
b) a clean environment."
and
they
will
insist
we
can't
have
both.

In Canada for the last couple elections people have been scare mongered by this false dichotomy.
I tell you, there is a sustainable economy, there is a sustainable future: dare to dream. Let's all grow the f ck up and build the new economy that defies the bullshit neoclassical economic lies that have been entrenched in our culture. They will tell you the choice is between a job or cancer. Fuck. that. shit.
It's time for the next industrial revolution, the green revolution, I'm in. Change your light bulbs, then change your leaders.

Hersheys Teaches Foreigners about the American Way

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
...Unless of course they're foreign exchange students,
in which case they can suck eggs!

IKEA - Have a Gö

budzos says...

Fuck IKEA. I'm done with them . Everything in their store is well below shit quality. I don't care how cheap it is, most of it is not even worth having. I'll never buy another piece of furniture from IKEA.

First example: their tealights. Wow, 100 tealights for $5!? Seems like an incredible bargain. But a tealight that won't even stay lit is worthless at any price. IKEA tealights just don't stay lit... the wax doesn't burn away fast enough, and the wick is limp. So the wick dips over and snuffs itself in the liquid wax. Don't ask me why I'm fucking around with tea-lights (I used to have girls over and light candles etc... now that seems like a previous life). I'd rather pay $10 for 40 tealights that will actually stay lit until the wax is gone. I bought a bunch of IKEA tealights back when I moved into this place... I was there every week for a couple months, and half the time I'd just snag a pack of tealights thinking they were a great bargain. It took me a couple years to finally accept that those tealights were worth less than the plastic wrapped around them, and just throw them all out.

Don't get me started on the lightbulbs they sell... Every once in a while I get some new bulbs for all the little underlights I have around for vases and shit... the bulbs last a few weeks of infrequent use on average.

Their tea-lights

I bought a whole bunch of IKEA shit just under five years ago when I moved into this apartment. Shelves, lamps, some mats. Most of it has literally started to fall apart from regular use. One of my BILLY bookshelf sets sufferend a "pancake collapse" of the shelves inside, which could not (ironically) support the weight of the (comic) books I was storing on them... the shelves are now basically useless until I figure out some kind of repair on the parts where the shelves connect to the bookshelf body... that's where it all came apart.

And once you've put doors onto a BILLY shelf it's up around $250 for a set (maybe more? I can't remember), at which point you may as well look at some real shelves made for grown-ups.

Students from Hogwarts four houses say what their thing is.

Sagemind says...

Gryffindor
Gryffindor values bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Its emblematic animal is the lion and its colours are scarlet and gold. Minerva McGonagall is the most recent Head of Gryffindor. Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington aka Nearly Headless Nick is the house ghost. The founder of the house is Godric Gryffindor. Gryffindor corresponds to the element of Fire. The common room is located in one of the highest towers at Hogwarts, the entrance is situated on the seventh floor in the east wing of the castle and is guarded by a portrait of The Fat Lady. She permits entrance if given the correct password which is changed numerous times throughout the school year.


Hufflepuff
Hufflepuff, founded by Helga Hufflepuff, is the most inclusive among the four houses, valuing hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members. Its emblematic animal is the badger, and Black and Gold are its colours. Pomona Sprout is the Head of Hufflepuff. The Fat Friar is its ghost. Hufflepuff corresponds roughly to the element of earth. The Hufflepuff Dormitories and common room are located somewhere in the basement, near the castle's kitchens.


Ravenclaw
Ravenclaw values intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Its emblematic animal is the eagle, and its colours are blue and bronze. The Ravenclaw Head of House in the 1990s was Filius Flitwick. The ghost of Ravenclaw is the Grey Lady, who was the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, the house's founder. Ravenclaw corresponds roughly to the element of air. The Ravenclaw common room and dormitories are located in a tower on the west side of the castle. Ravenclaw students must answer a riddle as opposed to giving a password to enter their dormitories.


Slytherin
Slytherin house values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness and was founded by Salazar Slytherin. Its emblematic animal is the serpent, and its colours are green and silver. Professor Horace Slughorn was the Head of Slytherin during the 1997–1998 school year, replacing Severus Snape, who as well, replaced Slughorn when he retired for the first time several years ago. The Bloody Baron is the house ghost. Slytherin corresponds roughly to the element of water. The Slytherin Dormitories and common room are reached through a bare stone wall in the Dungeons. The Slytherin common room is a long, low underground room (probably under the Hogwarts lake, thus Slytherin house's affiliation with water) with rough stone walls and round greenish lamps hanging from the ceiling.

Bike Lane in NYC

Yeah, you're lucky he didn't just give you a citation for not keeping your mouth shut. Dude, they're cheap. Like one big imported beer cheap. You don't need a mega-strong $200 off-road racing lamp.

Like i said, i was a whiner. And frankly, considering how poor i was and how rarely i rode my bike and wasn't even in traffic, i'd much rather have saved the dough for one big imported beer. Gotta have priorities.

>> ^nadabu:

I was once warned by a cop not to ride without a headlight at night on my bike once. Fair 'nuf, but i was in well-lit park, not even on a proper road. He said that's why it was just a warning. Being a whiner, i still complained that i was a poor college student and rarely rode my bike (i walked and bused mostly), so dishing out cash for a light was hard. He suggested i ride holding a flashlight. Yeah... 'cause carrying a flashlight in one hand while steering a bike will really make me safer.

St. Mark 8.38 For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

2 Timothy 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

Matthew 5:15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Paul and his cohorts had to face lions; you can't even take a little ribbing on an anonymous thread that few people are even paying attention to. Now what does that say about your convictions?
