This image illustrates perfectly the ridiculous amount of space that cars are hogging in cities as compared to pedestrians, bicycles etc.:

They forgot the cars parked on the sidewalks.

A 15 mile loop of pipes serves steam to 71 buildings in downtown St Louis. It's used to cook hot dogs at the ballpark, and to make your Tums across the street. I can only imagine how well it would cook Parallax's ribs.

"The company burns natural gas to generate power, uses the waste heat to create steam, then taps the steam on its way out to make extra electricity. Ashley claims that the plant’s efficiency of more than 80 percent is the best you can do outside of solar or wind and has only improved since summer flooding afforded the chance to rebuild and perform a state-of-the-art upgrade."
Why does steam rise from sidewalk cracks downtown?

Humph, all of you rich folks with your fancy ass electric lights!

Yeah man, being a poor uni student I use this one.



Just kidding, in typical millennial fashion this is only used for decorative purposes I would like to use it when sitting under my favourite beech tree in the park in front of our house, reading a book, but I fear the neighbours may actually find out then what a lunatic I am. Maybe I'll take it down to the Isar next time we're having a BBQ by the riverside ...

Another noob.

The evil hociR must've sent him - quick, get the priest, prepare an exorcism! You got the whisky, I'll grab some bacon.

Just kidding,

I could tell, the wick is unburned and no soot on the globe.

Here in Oxford they really like traffic chaos. The hospitals decided it was cheaper to build a steam network between them, about a mile apart, so they dug up the road to put it in. Chaos. The the council said they did not have the right approval so they dug up the road to take it away, chaos. They applied for and received approval so they dug up the road again. Chaos again. Kept the road diggers and the road leaders going for a year and a half.
And chaos all the time impeding access to the major regional emergency hospital.

I recently replaced my incandescent Christmas lights with LED.

I think the LED lights cast a definite blue color, and the incandescent lights a much warmer quality of light.

Incandescent on top, LED the bottom.

You tell me.

Great example.
I had a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I now have a 2019 Ram diesel. The tow capacity on the Jeep was 2,000 lbs. The ram can tow something over 20,000 lbs. The obvious conclusion here is that all 2019 model year vehicles are better for towing than are 2015s.

I do actually have a bottle of lamp oil sitting next to the shelf, and I would like to use it, but living in an apartment without a garden I cannot use it at home, and opportunities to take it somewhere else to use it without looking like a ghost from the 19th century or an ultra-hipster are sparse

What the heck does towing capacity have to do with the color of light?

Wow, this is one old thread

The same thing that the color of one LED has to do with the color of another.

Wow, it's weird that you just posted for the 5th time in about 10 months.
Wonder if the lens giveaway had anything to do with it??

[CharLac]

Concur.

Confused.

The next post remarks on the thread being depressing, but the old lags know it picks up after some time. And here we are years (and many posts) later still waffling away. Next!

Here we go, another contest....sigh

Very observant of you.

Be sure and read all of the posts. There will be a test later.
