I know you live for obscure, classy gems like these.

This has got NPR crowd written all over it.

Looks like a great coaster. I've only ever seen that type in Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Nice fail trombone at the end.

not to be confused with a rusty trombone.

600 square feet of panels is two 6'x5' panels on a rooftop--that isn't very big.

Elementary geometry says you need TWENTY 6'x5' panels to get 600 sq feet. Regardless, the issue is not the surface area per se but the COST to cover that much surface area. Photovolt panels are expensive, highly inefficient, and use toxic elements. They need maintainance, replacing, repair, and have a lifecycle. Same with the VERY expensive batteries you need to buy.

And it doesn't cost $50,000 per household.

Many estimates put the installation of a fully functional solar powered home at well over $50K. 660 sq ft costs $10,853 just for the panels using the cheapest product I could find. Then there is wiring, connectors, inverters, batteries, mounts, control panels, and monitors... The backhills of Alberta may be different, but in the U.S. it is highly illegal to install your own electrical system... You're looking at thousands in licensing, regulatory, and labor. $10K? Not on this planet.

But let's say you're super lucky and manage to get the whole shebang installed for only $25K somehow. That's about $150 a year in savings over 20 years versus fossil, or $13 a month. Is that worth it? Well, no. There's a reason people don't buy 20 years of food at once in order to save a few pennies a day. Same goes here.

Imagine you install your cool new solar system and 5 years later you lose your job. Unless you make up the cost in the sale of your house, you just lost $15K pal. Good luck selling your house when you're charging $15K more than the guy down the street... And get ready to pay ANOTHER $20K to install your new system in your next house... Oh nos! You need to move again in 3 years...? (Sad trombone...)

Solar is OK for heating water. It sucks for general purpose electrical needs. It is a pipe dream, because it can't be done in a way that makes sense because the technology is still too expensive. Yeah - people are 'doing' it... People are also 'doing' hydrogen fuel cells for cars but 99.99% of the population can't afford the $100,000 price tag.

Why do you have such a blind allegiance to the republican ideals?

I'm not a Republican, so I'm not even sure what you mean by this. This has nothing to do with politics. This is about common sense and what is actually possible with real-world physics and economics. I realize such things are problematic obstacles to people who are blinded by political blinders - but they still matter on planet Earth.

We should all be so lucky to
Come On Down, but if you lose, don't forget sad trombone. ;-(

and if you prefer a bit of anus with your handjob, there's always the rusty trombone.

A hint of Tori Amos. Lovin' the trumpets.


Not trumpets. Trombones.

That Lungcore show had this band with four tubas, three trombones, a couple of twins playing Baritone saxes, and a dude blowing into some kind of barrel with a weather balloon coming out of it!

Wow, no women? Tiny party?


They seem to have been scared away by my and Haldaug's air guitar / air trombone.

You know me well enough to know I don't use shitty slide vibrato, considering I sat next to your ass for the better part of a season and a half with SJYS...

... and I was totally ready to reply back with a nice matter-of-fact comment completely obliterating the case for slide vibrato, then noticed the "fuzzyundies" handle and immediately thought: "Wait... where have I seen that before?"

Son of a bitch.

Slide vibrato @ 2:40... why...


Why the hate on the slide vibrato? Bone players do that in jazz solos all the time. To express an almost-completely uninformed opinion, it seems like most contemporary brass concerti are closer to jazz than classical anyway. Mr. Vert, are you suggesting you've never used a slide vibrato?
