David Attenborough on how to save the planet
Nuclear energy is the only way we can do it, we can run the planet forever and do things cleanly and more densely to leave more of our planet for wildlife.
The trouble is almost everything we hold as common wisdom about it is completely wrong, using breeder reactors have enough uranium to run the planet forever leaving almost no waste and removing the possibility of big accidents which actually aren't as harmful as commonly believed anyway.
We have thorium too, and many designs of each that can do the job. In fact we have a wealth of of options, but also a decades old and highly effective PR campaign from the fossil fuel industry to convince us otherwise.
LiquiGlide: Nonstick Coatings Leave Zero Waste Behind
I'd assume that the waste is worth more than the cost of the stuff that makes it come out so the consumer would 100% be willing to pay the added cost.
The companies make less because of no waste so they would logically resist this.
How To Roll A Blunt featuring Afroman
PLUS you can "bake" with the remnants and have some kick ass edibles! No waste whatsoever. WooHoo
I only use my vaporizer , no smoke, no odor, and very tiny amount get you higher than all that wasted weed used in joint. You get higher vaping than you can smoking a joint or bong.
How is the New Featured *Promote Panel (User Poll by lucky760)
So here's my *rough* mockup of something that I think could work...
http://i.imgur.com/85T5i.jpg
Mini-thumbnails would be displayed for all currently active promotes (upto the sensible limit of 10). Clicking on the mini-thumbnails would make the area above swap to that video's larger thumb and details, and as you can see there is a 'tab' to highlight which mini-thumb you currently have selected.
Maybe the 'tab' could automatically cycle through the promoted videos until the user interacts with it?
The mini-thumb bar could not appear at all if only 1 video is currently promoted.
Maybe the other 9 unselected mini-thumbs could be darker to help highlight the selected one? (bit of javascript magic maybe, I dunno?)
Maybe hovering over a mini-thumb will instantly make it selected and the larger top part change to it, so you could scroll through them by simply hovering your mouse over them?
Maybe hovering over a mini-thumb, could bring up a small mouse-tip that has the title of the video...
Anyway, just ideas, and another possible implementation to discuss. The key to this one is that promoted videos are all visible... no wasted power points. And also, a fixed amount of real estate dedicated to promoted videos.
The Light Bulb Conspiracy
No waste left behind, except when there is -- consider the eons old refuse we're currently burning as fossil fuel. The reason so little seems to be wasted in the natural world is that something has evolved to use almost all of the available waste streams.
The video conflates two different ideas: the design life for a manufactured product, and consideration of how to handle that product at the end of its life. It's hard to imagine an iphone so perfect that it wouldn't be irresponsible not to plan for its demise at the time of manufacture.>> ^mxxcon:

Perhaps it's worth reflecting on the apparent fact that we ourselves seem to be programmed to fail after, roughly, grandparenthood. Seems to have worked fairly well for our species, as well as many others.
except when you fail, where's no waste left behind. If you can make my iphone fail the same way, I think you'd be a very rich man.

The Scrollwheel
This is why I love that I can remote on with my current job. No wasting time telling the client what to do and have them fumble about, I just take over and do it myself. Bliss.
The Energy Problem and How to Solve it - MIT Prof Nocera
i like this energy idea
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nl100550k
engineered bacteria that use Sunlight and CO2 to produce simple sugars that can be converted to ethanol using yeast. almost no waste products and uses waste products.
Does the world need nuclear energy? - TED Debate
>> ^lampishthing:
Does anyone else disagree with the characterisation of nuclear (fission) power as renewable?
I'm still for it but that annoys me.
Also, I'd like to see costs. I was always under the impression that nuclear power was cheaper.
Seeing as how much there is, it is quite renewable:
How long can Uranium last for nuclear power ? 5 billion years at double current world electricity usage.
Breeder reactors can transmute non-fissile Uranium to fissile Uranium. So that means you can burn up almost all the Uranium. This includes all the so called nuclear waste. This can also be burnt in a similar process, leaving you with virtually no waste.
What's Stupid About Bottled Water?
I'm only *Promoting this to attack the absurdity of the claim that bottled water is good for emergencies. NO. IT IS NOT. No matter WHAT the situation, bottled water is NOTHING but a drain on resources and an ecological disaster. Energy to draw the water, energy to "purify" the water. Energy to bottle the water. Energy to Ship the water.
GET A FUCKING ON-TAP WATER FILTER AND A FUCKING REUSABLE BOTTLE YOU PRICK.
Emergencies? How about a fucking water bull? It holds 400 gallons and has 5 dispensing points. Not enough? Use some of these. Then give families a couple 5 gallon water jugs to cart the shit around with.
No wasted plastic. No trash. No litter.
Bottled water should be fucking illegal.
Hillary's Eloquent Response to Republican on Woman's Rights
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
OK, that's it. I like Hillary again.
Winstonfield - Yes, government regulated healthcare is so wasteful - [ahem] the free market system has proven so efficient at providing lean, unpadded, cheap healthcare to America's public. No waste in the current system, - it's not like anyone is getting shafted or overbilled or anything right? It's not like patients would be billed $12K for a CAT scan. oh. Like many Republicans your attitude is "I'm covered, so STFU non-rich people".
I love my fair, reasonably efficient, public healthcare here in Australia. I'm afraid to travel to the US with my family in case something happened over there. Wouldn't want to have to sell my car to get a broken arm set.
Bus Vs. One Lucky Cyclist In China
"he simply walked away"
what? no wasting the courts' time with a million dollar lawsuit?
Sen Dorgan speaks in Congress on Govt. Waste and Fraud
This is a Democratic witch-hunt against the Republicans, pathetic. Like Bill Clinton's 8 years in office had no waste and fraud.
Upvote for the guy from North Dakota-- nobody even lives there for crying out loud. What does he know.
Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute Band: Life By the Drop?
Hello there, my old friend,
not so long ago it was 'till the end
We played outside in the pouring rain,
on our way up the road we started over again
You're livin' a dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
Up and down that road in our worn out shoes,
talkin' 'bout good things and signin' the blues
You went your way, I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time
You're livin' a dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
No wasted time, we're alive today
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
Time's been between us, a means to an end
God it's good to be here walkin' together my friend
You're livin' a dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
Its a good song that can cause a grown man to cry. But hey I'm a guitarist and singer, and there are a lot of songs that can make me cry, even while singing them.
