One thing that's fucking tilting me is my stupid friends who change their facebook profile pic to a giraffe because they're too stupid to recognise an obvious trick question when they see one. It makes me want to not be their friend any more.

I don't mind on facebook. Honestly, I'm not jealous of other people's success. I consider happiness to be success, and I'm happy, so I consider myself more successful than those in an unhappy relationship or a job they hate. My first serious girlfriend recently got married after winning £10k on a TV programme and has a better job than when I was with her. I'm happy for her, genuinely. I'm not jealous of any of my former friends, that's for sure. But I certainly feel sometimes that old friends judge me because they consider that my life has gone backwards since I knew them. All that does is make me happy I'm not their friend any more. | |

Other than a bathroom mirror, who the fuck uses 100 watt bulbs? Are you lighting a baseball field in your home? | |

I guess the key point though is that light bulb left on in an unoccupied room is totally needlessly wasted energy. Your fridge is keeping your subsistence fresh and edible - a pretty fair use of energy. Also, I do believe efforts to conserve energy and natural resources is in fact a very human concern, from a species-survival point of view. | |

How much energy cost is there in turning lights on/off? Accounting for life of bulb too. I've heard that a lot of lights last super long if they're never turned off, and I've heard the surge of turning a light on costs a bit more energy than letting run for a while. No idea if those are true though |

I'm all about being environmentally friendly and ecologically conscious. That's why I don't give a rats ass about end-level consumers when it comes to this topic. We're talking about the ~6% of the total electrical energy being used that is in households. Turning off your lights in rooms you're not using while you're at home is such a minor portion of your electrical useage that it's scandalous to mention it in the same breath as "energy conservation for survival of the species". | |

japan managed to cut their entire country's electricity usage after the tsunamis as a national effort to deal with losing 25% of their power supply. Just sayin'. | |

and that savings came from households as i understand it, so that industry could continue business as usual. | |

A lot better to have a few light bulbs on heating the house than the furnace kicking on every few minutes. Today the high was 40 degrees here. |

Agreed and these things are definitely in the works, I'm convinced that heavy funding of such research is enough to get us there fast enough. But there is no need atm because the status quo works for the moment for big oil and big money. And I don't mean there is some kind of conspiracy going on, it's just a fact that things never get moving unless they really need to. Same with the environment. We as mankind will have to use our technological advancement to restore the planet soon enough. We're already past the point of no return of fucking up the planet according to pretty much every way this is being measured. And I do think we are capable of this no problem. But the environment hasn't quite gotten bad enough to really motivate big money to go there. Once the big ecological disasters start happening this is bound to change. | |

I totally agree with the sentiment, but it's a bit off topic. I'm not arguing that turning off your lights when you're not using them is bad. I'm arguing that it's probably not nearly as bad as a bunch of other things you do in a day. So letting a single non-issue get you worked up is just a matter of bad scheduling of your time. | |

Yeah that's my main position on it as well. It's like how a month or so ago I commented here about how my sister stresses a lot about money and buys a bunch of expensive organic food. She doesn't listen to me when I tell her that the benefit she gets from eating organic is probably smaller than the benefit she would get by not spending so much on food |

I hate this new trend that a lot of news type websites are starting to adopt where they make it so arrow keys will load up the next/previous stories. When I'm reading something on the computer I'm always hitting keys that shouldn't be doing anything for the hell of it. Two of those keys I have drilled into my head that are safe are the left/right arrow keys. | |

This is mostly about being able to update the backdoors they installed for the government. This is 100% the case for skype too. Some guys did a test a while back where they communicated a secure web address that noone knew about over skype and within minutes it was being visited and scanned by an IP address registered to Microsoft. All of the software from the big US internet media companies is basically one enormous spynet. Less than two weeks ago Google found out that their entire backend, where they transport all of the data they have gathered from all of their services, had been hacked by the NSA. A few pissed off Google employees came out to curse at the NSA and said they had encrypted their whole backend to put a stop to this, but yeah it does show just how bad it is. | |

old style german toilets, for some reason, has a plate of sorts where your poo lands. when you flush, the water flows from the back of the toilet over the plate and your poo drops down the hole at the front. it means the bathroom stinks a lot more when you poo. | |
