Why would someone buy a house so someone else could slowly buy it from them? They would essentially be acting like a bank.

Who keeps up with the house maintenance?

Landlords are unneeded middlemen. A good system doesn't use them.

Your idea is "rent to own".

You can rent to own a Playstation that's 300 dollars for a small monthly price but at the end of the loan you're going to pay 600 dollars total for the Playstation.

Why am I going to go to Best Buy, buy a Playstation for 300, then let Jimmy down the street play with it while he slowly pays me back my 300?

Why am going to buy a house for 100,000 and let Jimmy rent to own it?

600 a month for 15 years. He'd pay for it.

If I put 100k in the S&P500 for 15 years, I'd have 415k.

Would I rather:

A. Help Jimmy get a house

B. Make ~300k for just sitting

Push for Supreme Court ethics reform, term limits and add amendment to make even the president not above the law.

It's like a large trading card that you can use to play music

Except the upside-down flag

Waterboy is a must

Iron Maiden and Slayer are vastly different

One million seconds is 11.6 days

One billion seconds is 31.7 years

In total approximately 70% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface while around 30% is reflected back to space and does not heat the surface. The Earth radiates energy at wavelengths much longer than the Sun because it is colder

No, the energy captured by solar panels wasn't already going to turn into heat to be released and trapped by earth's atmosphere.

If everyone had solar panels and thought like you, we'd still have globe warming

Energy is heat. There's no such thing as cold, just lack of heat.

Trapping sun rays then releasing hot air warms the planet. That's what your system is doing. Removing heat from your house and putting it outside while your electric motor throws out extra heat.

It just doesn't have the air pollution that burning coal or gas does.

If the 300m people lived in the same area and you got a true random sample.

Sunsets at 9:09 today in Michigan

Sunsets at 8:04 today in California

Sunsets at 8:34 today in North Carolina

Sunsets at 7:57 today in Alabama

Sunsets at 7:38 today in Arizona (They are on standard time)

Sunsets at 7:13 today in Hawaii

Sunsets at 11:36 today in Alaska

Someone in Arizona might want the sun to set at 7:38. It's blazing hot all day.

Someone in Michigan might be fine with sunsetting at 8:08 with standard time.

Someone in Alabama might not want the sun to set at 6:57.

Someone in Hawaii probably doesn't want the sun to set at 6:13.

Even if you split up the 1000 people to equally represent all states, that's only 20 people per state.

You could lift the potato without setting off the trap pretty easily

Ahh, yes, 1002 people is a large sample size, like .003% of the population.

Your article is also about switching. Doesn't say anything about if people would prefer to stay on DST or standard time.

"Summer time" is DST

If you removed DST, we would always be on standard time.

What you are saying is make DST permanent, not removing DST

Why do you want the sun to set early?

I'd rather have an extra hour of sun after work than an hour of sun before work

I think most people enjoy DST. Most complain when it's dark at 5 pm.

I remembered it wrong. He wasn't doing laundry. He was pouring concrete into the guy's washing machine.

No idea what that guy did to deserve a messed up washing machine.

"You ever use the gentle cycle?" Absolutely hilarious /s

You have to have grown up with it and gained an unconditional love of the characters. You don't care that they are an asshole to a character you don't like.

Look at Kramer he is so stupid he can't figure out a washing machine! Lol he's going to try to pour a bunch of detergent in next and act like he's drunk because he's that stupid! He's so funny!

Edit: Remembered it wrong. He was pouring concrete into the washing machine. Classic asshole

It was always played with a keyboard. No one is ever slaping a bass

There are the "I like to keep my house at 66°F because I like to wear a hoodie or use a blanket". They are going to say that 75°F is warm or even hot for a room.

If an average person sat naked in a 75°F room they would be happy.

68°F or 20°C is cold for me. Even 70°F or 21°C. I keep my house around 72° to 74°F and bump it up or down a degree. Coming in from mowing the yard, bump it down, sitting all day watching movies, keep it the same, cold winter day, bump it up.

Older people keep their houses at 78°+

100°F doesn't mean "not fit for human habitation"

Anything above body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) you are slowly cooking yourself. That's why 100°F is important.
