The food is part of it, but the heat source must have some involvement. Combustion of gas produces byproducts, no way around it, and studies of camping stoves have shown the cleanliness of burn is wildly variable depending heavily on basic

Cooking with gas or electricity? I've heard before that cooking with gas causes significantly more indoor air quality problems, but I'm curious what your observations are.

Finding that particular omission just feels like visual trickery, rather than anything to do with knowing how a bike works. Like any number of puzzle books that include a "find the missing X!" and friends.

Yeah, I'm hopeful that we will reverse the dependency, but I think it needs to be more organic/grassroots than the Sierra Club can drive. We need to come to a collective understanding that we want more alternative forms of travel,

IMO phasing out automobiles as the primary form of transit is a herculean battle the environmental groups probably don't feel like they have a prayer of winning. I bike & bus to work, but speaking on a grand scale cars prey on our

It was probably both. Surely there is always a little optimism (our active fund manager can get us 8% instead of 7%!). But also- For the period 1950 to 2009, if you adjust the S&P 500 for inflation and account for dividends, the averag

The two concepts can coexist. We are born to run, but we are also born to dream of figuring out how to make ourselves run better.

We seem to take it very much case by case. Running efficiency augments are controversial. Drugs are verboten. But better bicycles are OK, and football players can wear eyeblack and grip-enhancing gloves. The closer a sport is to pure human

But, also in theory, cost of living drives competitive salary, which in turn drives whether a company can afford to hire employees in a particular city. So if you build more housing, cost of living goes down, which attracts more companies t

If the public service of justice is slow and expensive, we need to fix the public service, not replace it with a free market simulacrum. The argument is that the justice system is slow and expensive because it is overloaded with cases tha

you can cut back on short-term expenses immediately. Can definitely agree with that. There's hundreds or even a thousand or two on the table with phone bills, insurance of all kinds, etc and even those are trivial to change up compar

Depending on where you live, pick-ups are not just handy but rather a cultural icon. Have you ever listened to country music? You're not a real country boy if you don't have a pick-up. The real bait-and-switch though is the disapp

There are surely privacy concerns, but it seems like the evolution of all insurance markets trend towards better risk profiling. This is a good thing IMO. The point of insurance is to pool risk, not get your high risk subsidized by some s

Sure, and that could be the next step. Unfortunately building reactors is a decade long process. This can be where gas turbines, which can be built far faster, could be a bridge.

I'm a greenie, but I do figure natural gas could potentially be a stepping stone while we try to figure out the fossil fuel alternative. I don't see it as a long term solution, but at half the CO2 and much cleaner burning, it defi
