It's funny thinking of the entire Star Trek TNG cast driving themselves to work every morning. Hard to get an ego when you're fighting LA traffic every morning.

Any time. I might still owe you a mojito from last time.

edit Right side, eh?


I did the exact same thing trying to tag *long on Deanos carpool vid! And I was wondering why this one wasn't nsfw. I never learn...

No worries.. I'll just honk from the driveway.."

If we are to raise awareness, how about we raise awareness about how electricity production works? Or if you really want to save the planet how about a "ride your bike to work day" or "form a carpool day" which would raise environmental awareness and make a real difference.


One is not exclusive of the other.

You have this insistence that it has to be done your way, or the way that "your people" do things.

"Ride Your Bike to Work Day" - my people did that, not yours. Your people were saying "Drive Around for No Reason and Honk at Stupid Bikers" day.

"Form a Carpool Day" - my people did that, not yours. Your people said "Buy a Hummer, smoke a cigar, and taunt faggots and sluts with your buddies."

A real difference? People all over the world, tonight, shut their lights off for one hour. We did this with a collective intent to make the world a better place. Not an end, not a means, maybe not even a beginning: but a statement of fact.

You did nothing but ridicule.

No, I just believe that if you are going to take the time to do something, it should be done the best way possible.

All around the world people turned off their lights for an hour, but completely neglected the fact that power plants don't just turn off when people hit a light switch.

Nuclear, wind, hydroelectric, coal...these sources of power are constantly running according to peak demand, and cannot be turned off at 8:30 and then instantly brought back online at 9:30. Electricity is not stored, so when people don't use it...it just gets wasted. Thus, even if electricity demand slightly decreased during "Earth Hour"...electricity production, and thus emissions, stayed exactly the same -- and all the electricity which could have been spent on useful work lighting peoples rooms was just wasted as millions of people stared at computer screens in the dark. Add to that fact the millions of candles that were likely burned in the process.

If we are to raise awareness, how about we raise awareness about how electricity production works? Or if you really want to save the planet how about a "ride your bike to work day" or "form a carpool day" which would raise environmental awareness and make a real difference.

You're just being a contrarian.

maybe he is just so used to everyone around him being there for his convenience that he just forgot. like the bmv and audi SUVs and their solitary drivers that just forget that the carpool lanes are not there for them.

I agree, if I could call a do-over on American energy policy I'd have slowly cranked up gasoline tax over the last 3 decades so that it was something like $8-$9 dollars a gallon in 2000. The marketplace would've slowly adapted to that over the years, and we could have used the extra revenue for public transportation, or incentives for consumers and business to come up with alternatives (though high gas prices probably would've done the trick).

These aren't consumer incentives, thats government regulation. What I mean is as a consumer choosing not to buy inefficient cars, or seeking alternatives to gasoline dependence such as public transportation or carpooling, or inflating your tires (ha)--in order to reduce demand and thus reduce the price of gas.

Have you been beaten for not paying taxes? Have you heard of someone who has

Try not paying taxes next year....see how long it takes IRS agents with fully automatic weapons to enter your residence and confiscate your belongings and take you to jail.

Nah, they were just carpooling. Everyone is getting more creative with transportation now that gas prices are so high.
