What an average person can do to slow down out of control Global Warming

1, Use Less Electricity.
Most of the electricity that is sent to your house is produced by burning fossil fuels like Coal, Oil and Natural gas. The more you use, the more fossil fuels are burned to create that electricity. The burning of these fuels creates Carbon Dioxide CO2. CO2 is a Greenhouse Gas which acts like a barrier to thermal radiation while allowing the higher frequency radiation, light, to freely pass through. Simply put, visible light passes through CO2 unhindered, falls on the earth, people, pavement, roof tops, lakes and oceans etc. These things absorb the light and get warm and release this warmth in the form of lower frequency Thermal Radiation. CO2 is opaque to Thermal Radiation thus, it can't escape back out into space. The result? The temperature of our environment goes up. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more energy is trapped. CO2 is not the only Greenhouse Gas but it is the most abundent. BTW, Glass is also a very efficient substance for allowing light to freely pass but it's not very transparent to thermal energy. This is why a Greenhouse is made of glass.

Here's how to use less Electricity;
Turn lights off when they're not needed, same with ceiling fans. My house has 2 outside lamp posts. 1 is halfway up the driveway and the other is by the back corner of the house. They have a sensor which turns them on when it starts getting dark out in the evening and they go out when the daylight reappears the next day. They are very convenient for when you come home late at night. The bad part is they light up my bedroom like it was broad daylight so in order to get some sleep I have the close the blinds. That's not the worst part. Are you ready for this? Each lamp post has a 500 watt bulb. So they are normally on for 9 hours a night. Do the math, 500X2X9 = 9000 watts a day, 7 days a week. That comes to 3,285,000 Watts a year, 3 Million, 285 Thousand Watts. And guess who pays for that? It didn't take me long to unscrew the bulbs from these 2 lamp posts. If I need lots of light outside at night for whatever, I just reach up and screw the bulb(s) back in and the light comes on.

It’s Just A Matter Of Time.

Time waits for nobody, or so they say. This must make time the most precious resource of all. Once squandered, it is lost forever. It cannot be regenerated or recycled like water or money. No Save and Restore, no rewind and no backspace or delete key.professor

And yet, some people use their time so effectively compared to others that it does seem to wait for some people, which brings us to the old question; is time constant or relative? Also, if it is relative, then what is it relative to?confused

Every century a day gets 1.4 milliseconds longer due to the earth’s rotation slowing down, so at some stage it will stop spinning! Will a day then last into infinity?dunno

Einstein said that gravity slows time. I never understood much of what he said but if I understand this one right, astronauts must age a few nanoseconds faster each day they spend in space. Apparently my interpretation of his relativity theory – that if you pull hard enough on your shoelaces, you can lift yourself up into the air – is not valid.rolling on the floor laughing

But to come back to Einstein and his sidekicks, some believe that the expansion of the universe is an illusion created by the slowing of time. If that is true, then eventually time must stop altogether, which will make us immortal. All that bothers me about that is how I am going to get my eggs soft boiled if there is no time to measure it against.doh

And I can imagine some doctors finding it problematic to determine a patient’s pulse rate but that cannot be much of a problem as all mammals have the same lifespan; about 15 billion heartbeats. Elephants only appear to live longer than mice because their hearts beat much slower.heart beating

In 1930, Stalin abolished the weekend to increase productivity and the Soviet Union changed to a six-day week. This went on until 1940 when they reverted to a seven-day week; effectively getting rid of more than five hundred days during those ten years. If Stalin could get rid of a day in each week, why can’t we just abolish time? I’m sure we can find alternative employment for all those watchmakers.idea

All we really have to hope for is that when time eventually comes to a standstill that it happens on a public holiday so work can be abolished with it.yay

No, I did not smoke monkey weed and yes, what is left of my hair used to be blond once upon a time, but that does not apply to men.laugh

May the new year give you plenty of time to get your things done.wave

WD-40...

It's safe to say the whole world knows about WD-40.
Sold in cans as a water-displacing spray, people probably use it more for it's penetrating oil lubricating properties than it's ability to repel water.
Having dozens of household uses, WD-40 gets squirted into sticking locks, squeaky wheels and stuck door hinges. If someone spray painted your car with graffiti, WD-40 and a soft cloth can usually liquefy the paint and remove it without harming your cars finish.

It's truly amazing stuff... and I read the 39 other attempts at creating this product failed. Hence the name WD-40. I can only imagine that WD-39 sure must have been nearly the same. Surely...

AI, and just what goes on in counseling...

...Individual adult therapies, groups for children, families, couples, even our dogs. Most folks would be surprised to learn of how the various programs that train counselors teach the craft. Many adhere to unproved dogma, such as rank behavioralism, or Freudian psychodynamics. Where there is some evidence of efficacy, as with CBT, didactics are often sloppy. You read papers or books on the techniques, then have supervision during training, on what goes on in working with your charges. Rarely, mostly in learning family work, two way mirrors are involved. but systematic testing on knowledge, techniques or success is not the rule. No wonder we hear of so many incompetent counselors. But when AI advances enough, perhaps using depth cybernetics, based on quantum phenomena and speed, and including near human levels of relating, psychotherapy may finally be much more effective. And as an added bonus, no more having the doctor trying to put her hand up your kilt.

Jussie Smollett saga....exploring the underLYING dynamics...

Oh, ye light in the loafers Peebles! From those of us who used actually to get paid to ponder such juicy topics, I aver without a trace of malice. Not a solicitor (yet?), so I'll skip the discovery gleaned info, which is everywhere to see, ---and jump right into an anecdotal rant. So, this disgusting pile of piss poor black homosexual protoplasm allegedly tried his racist scam because he wasn't WHAT?!?! Happy with his "thesbian's" income. Puleeze! Look it up, and wonder which of us wouldn't swap paychecks with this cad. And allegedly paying only a little over $3 large for a couple of brothers to join in the fun. So he's also a tight wad. (Ask any wait person for the lore on tipping by race.) But I digress. This sculduggery is certainly greedy poor judgment on steroids. But what else, my people watching friends? Place his criminal antisocial escapade in context of how the alt left media typically jump with treetop automatic support onto such stories. Then consider how the same pundits fail to correct and appologize for such fake news "reportage". And finally, look at how many of these cases have been put upon us all over the years, beginning long before that despicable Towana Brawly's own little version of "Let's accuse, then sue, Whitey, and have 'Reverend' Al help us to get dem big bucks and a big book contract". Lot's more, chumps. But does the highly regrettable slave heritage explain it all in mere cultural terms, or has genomics had generational time to enter into the HARDwired fray? Industrial melanism, this time sans tree moths. Yet, what do I know?

What is Reality? – Part5 (Conclusion) - Other Perspectives of Reality

It is difficult for an open-minded person, especially if he/she has a scientific background to deny that the various issues of the socially-accepted concepts of sense-experience reality are open to question. Yet, despite the above-stated factors, very few people are willing to give serious consideration to seeking other perspectives of reality. Perhaps the main reason for this is the very powerful factor of social conditioning or socialization coupled with the need to avoid a feeling of aloneness in one's existence.

Social conditioning is necessary for the existence of a society, otherwise there will be chaos and confusion. Nevertheless, it tends to rob an individual of some measure of his/her individuality, giving in return a certain degree of social security which has a vital role in helping an individual to overcome a feeling of aloneness in his/her existence. This social security may be defined as a sense of belonging and recognition within the society. The actual amounts taken and given by the social conditioning process vary with different individuals.

Social conditioning has such a powerful effect on one's concept of reality that very few individuals are seriously willing to seek new perspectives of reality even though many realize that the perspectives of the socially-accepted concepts of sense-experience reality are very open to question. If they attempt to do otherwise, they run the risk of being denied the social security mentioned and of experiencing alienation and estrangement from society, and of facing a frightening and almost unbearable feeling of aloneness in their existence, and most are unwilling to take that risk.

The few who realize the shortcomings of the socially-accepted concepts of reality and who dare to seek new perspectives of reality are faced head-on with the question: Is it possible that one can experience some form of reality in life which transcends human sense experience and the process of logical reasoning, since these factors necessarily give a distorted view? What do you think?
