It doesn't get this cold here. That global warming is gonna kill us all! Out of the mouths of [drooling] babes. Your horizons, from your remarkably dilapidated baby buggy, do seem somewhat limited. Your ignorance of reality is as stunning as your arrogance regarding the same. Just because you have no experience of something doesn't make it unreal. I'm sorry to hear that nice Mr Trumpet still cannot affect the weather for all his drooling electorate. This despite all his election promises to fix the entire universe. Does his public absence of tax returns suggest massive NRA funding? Wasn't Capone finally brought down by his tax imbalance with reality? There's still hope. Posted from sunny Denmark.

NASA's biggest worry right now: What if something goes wrong with the Webb telescope?
Chris.B:
I'm shocked to hear that US office bathrooms have no shower facilities. It must be amazingly stinky on a warm day after all the "workers" climb out of their sweltering cars after sitting in a grid lock for hours. 1. Some offices do have shower facilities along with gymnasiums where one can work up a sweat. 2. American cars are air conditioned. 3. Very few people sit in gridlock for "hours" during their daily commute. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Out of the mouths of [drooling] babes. I know you are, but what am I? Your horizons, from your remarkably dilapidated baby buggy, do seem somewhat limited. I grew up in Nebraska, where it's below zero for most of the winter and above a hundred form ost of the summer. That's one of the reasons I live in California. Now go have a grown up explain to you what sarcasm is, because you're clearly too ****ing stupid to figure it out on your own. dumbass. Posted from sunny Denmark. Well, that does explain a few things. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

My car does not go from 40 mpg on the highway with air coditionaing to 48 mpg without. In fact, I get more variation from using the cruise control (40 mpg) or not (41 mpg) than from the AC. You're gobbling down the greenie proganda you've been spoon fed. 3. Very few people sit in gridlock for "hours" during their daily commute. Really? Are we talking rural driving or city driving? If you really need to ask that, you're even stupider than you look. Free hint, retard: City driving is, by definition, a hell of a lot more people than rural driving. The mayor of New York has asked for "blocking" drivers to no longer to be fined because the instant sanctions process was actually increasing traffic jams! NYC is not exactly a paradise for drivers. It's very densely populated, with very dense employement districts, and working mass transit (which a hell of a lot of people use). It's not at all uncommon for New Yorkers to not own a car, or even know how to drive one. NYC is hardly representative of the US. Southern Ccalifornia is as many people, and everybody drives because you cn't hold down a job if you don't. Time for a flying tow truck methinks. Straight to the crusher with the offender [and his car.] Fairly typical mnurderous fascism from a greenie moonbat extremist. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

So yeah, most in my neck of the woods would not consider owning a car w/o AC. But So. Cal w/o AC - no way! I recall a nighttime trip across the Mojave Desert in a car without AC when I was a kid. It felt like we were in Hell. I don't drive to the desert (and the Mojave is a pretty good substitute for Hell), but my absolute criteria for a car are four doors, four wheels, and AC. Just because I can handle wild temperature variations doesn't mean I'm going to if it's avoidable. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

wrote: Regarding bicycling in cold weather: physical exercise keeps you warm. You've clearly never lived in a place that has real winter. You'll deny it, of course, then go on to say something that will prove me right. Do you think Stockholm, Sweden, qualifies for a real winter? Right now we have -10°C and 20 cm snow. Yes I've been bicycling in such weather and know what it's like. Skiing in the city is an alternative right now, and sometimes I also take shortcuts by skating over waters here. Quite frequently I also skate on waters away from the city, for recreation. In my youth I lived in some smaller cities in northern Sweden, Härnösand and Skellefteå (you can find them on Google Maps) where it's even colder and much more snow in winter. Do you think that's a real winter? Or do you think there's real winter only in central Siberia? |

...so why didn't the whole world go for 110-120V in household voltage? Why did most of the world go for 220V (raised to 230V some decades ago) in the households? Dunno. Maybe it's because we invented electricity and the rest of the world got it as a hand-me-down :-) Actually, Europe too started around 110V, but around 1900 some power companies near Berlin wanted to increase the power delivered to their customers. They did so by doubling the voltage, and paid their customers for new 220V electric appliances - they profited anyway because they didn't have to replace the wiring. And it caught on, so a decade or so later 220V became the new standard household voltage. In the 1990's this was raised to 230V. |
