Dammit - I missed Earth Hour!
« on: March 25, 2018, 01:32:21 PM »
Dog gone if I didn't miss Earth hour last night. I'm usually pretty good about posting it here so the rest of you can participate as well. Sadly, I only used the normal amount of lighting last night.  :laugh:

We had a big bonfire at the lake last night. Much wood was burned creating significant amounts of smoke and other combustion byproducts which were of course released directly into the atmosphere. Does that count?

It does not.  Said carbon emissions were from carbon that was sequestered insignificantly long enough ago on a geological timescale, and would have been released into the atmosphere anyway by natural processes.

And for the 30+ consecutive year, odds on favorite Best Korea, won Earth Hour as the ebil US Sanctions reduced their oil supplies to to barely a trickle.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Has anyone come up with a process to make coal?

Lol, I didn't even realize that yesterday was Earth hour. Coincidentally, yesterday around 4:30 I was roasting the tires off of the Challenger since a new set is inbound.  =D

I purposely released unneeded propellant via paint overspray on a project this weekend.

Oops.

Inadvertently observed it.  I was napping.

I wonder if it might be a good idea to generate lots of CO2 to feed the plants and plankton that ultimately feed us...

Nah, that's non-PC crazy talk.  Fugedaboudit.

Don't worry.

It didn't miss you!

I don't even know (or really care) when it was. I've done my part. I've converted to all LED home lighting.
