Yeah, what I said implies that nobody can currently know what direction the climate is going. I don't know what you mean by prepared for all cases, though. I'm prepared for the climate to do what it's been doing for a long time since there is no reason to believe that the climate is going to...

Not millions, just thousands. That's a ridiculously low resolution for the accuracy required for their claims. The living room of a typical house would require dozens of thermometers placed throughout it to be able to measure the temperature to a tenth of a degree accuracy. It's simply...

So you're saying that Bitcoin is at its "return to mean" at its current price? Bitcoins are worth about 10X what they started the year at. If you were to draw a trend line for the Bitcoin price in 2013, then it would still have a pretty extreme upward slope. I do have to say that Tesla's...

That's not an argument. It's just a lazy way of ignoring reality. That picture didn't apply to Bitcoin and it won't apply to Tesla Motors. And another thing I forgot to mention is that Tesla Motors is the only American car manufacturer that is not in debt to the government.

TSLA closed at over 161 today. This is the future. The Tesla S is faster than any Porsche in its price range, more efficient than a Prius, safer than a Volvo, and has carrying capacity rivaling a minivan. The Tesla S can get a 200 mile charge from a Supercharger in about 30 minutes and...

I wasn't really sure where to post it, so I went with what seemed the most vague category. I'm also not really sure of what "hot topics" is supposed to be for. I wouldn't care if somebody wanted to move this post.

I should also mention that I had no idea he was going to do what he did.

Yeah, he definitely wasn't thinking straight. At least there wasn't any violence involved. The ammunition in his car is probably because he worked as an armed security guard and just likes to make sure he's prepared for whatever. He was a damned good security guard. Lived to protect people...

I have a good friend that works at Walmart and he's paid more than enough to survive. He's good with money, though. He recently got married and bought a house. No welfare of any sort. He's actually doing better off than just about all my friends that graduated college since he doesn't have...

CFL's are great for any light that is on constantly. I use them for porch lights and just don't turn them off since they use about a quarter as much power as an incandescent. I've yet to have to replace any of those after a couple years. They're also good for light fixtures that have a low...

Anybody see this video of the Cupertino City Council trying to get Steve Jobs to bribe them so he will be allowed to build an awesome new headquarters? It's worth a watch.

It's still nature. They are creating no original code. Monsanto is just using a combination of selective breeding and gene splicing from other organisms. It would be like if I installed a piece of software that I didn't create on a computer that I also didn't create and then saying that I...

First off, "fiat" means "by government decree". Without that government decree, something cannot be fiat. Get over it, y'all. Nothing has intrinsic value. Value is a property that is bestowed upon something by a living organism, whether it be tangible or not. A squirrel can value a nut, but...
