How to Open a Master Lock with No Key or Special Tools

cryptoz says...

check for same date of manufacture. have you picked a lock yet?... helps understand tension of hold and varied force of taps to move tumblers.

I dunno...I've spent more than five minutes rapping away, exactly how he does it in the video. And nothing.

Daylight Saving Time 101

cryptoz says...

lol, ok dude you keep advancing your clock an hour and leave it at that.

ChaosEngine said:

What do you mean "one part"? There's only one part to DST.

"Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months by one hour so that in the evening daylight is experienced an hour longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times."

cryptoz says...

not sure what you mean "keep it all year" but I think it means you like one part but not the other so in the end your "meh"

ChaosEngine said:

You have now. DST is awesome. I love having an extra hour in the evenings. I can go for a bike ride, meet up with friends, have a bbq.

Quite frankly, I'd keep it all year.

Nuclear energy is awesome

So you need to understand Exponential Decay a bit better. Try http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/beyond/articles/ExpDecay/decay1.html
Then you discount how long people would be producing it. Sure, its not millions but that wasn't the point, just an exaggeration to help make the point, life can come back from carbon, nuclear waste is a destroyer of worlds.

First up, it's not 500 million years. Nuclear waste (typically Plutonium 239) has a half life of around 24000 years, an eyeblink geologically. Even if it wouldn't be too flash for life as we know it for a while, the planet will be fine, and life will recover.

Easy now, ol' Elon admitted a few days after that he over hyped his power packs and the whole "save the world with solar" pitch. His number didn't account for numerous problems ans was a perfect situation only.

I kinda agree with jmd in that the people with the resources to effect change are comfortable where they are since they are making all the money and do nothing risky to make it. Changing gears would require some effort to hire people to do the work...

ChaosEngine said:

Excellent. Now we're getting somewhere. By god, I will drag people kicking and screaming into making actual arguments with real data if it kills me.

That looks interesting. Does it account for transmission losses? What about areas like the UK with high energy consumption but little sunlight?

cryptoz says...

This is absurd. Current pollution could wipe out our speices and maybe all the animals... but the planet would survive and could replenish. Cover the place in radiation for 500 million years and its screwed.

I'm not against new forms like the end of the video talks about but sticking the nuke drug into the problem with the hopes that maybe someday we will have a treatment is a stupid crack pipe dream.
