  • Ethical? Just get Jimmy Carter back up there. If Dems are willing to look past the age issues with Biden and say shit like "you're electing an administration, not a person", they might as well go with someone that actually has a good track record.

    Bonus points if he can pull off a new "energy crisis" too. Might do us good to increase the incentive on transitioning off fossil fuels....

  • Yeah, all my Linux installs after about 2003 were liveCDs. I used to carry my Gentoo CD around as my diagnostic tools for a while helping people fix their windows machines (or just backing up everything off it before reformatting).

    I think Knoppix was the first live CD I used. It was mind blowing. Now you can just carry around a whole personally configured system on a USB stick. Pretty cool.

  • No, it should be roughly the same.

    The thing you're trying to take advantage of when placing a fan a meter or two from a window is that when you have a moving mass of air and it passes by static air, it "drags" the static air with it. As a result you move more air mass that what was blown by the fan directly out of the fan blades.

    A blower fan still blows air in a direction, and can likely take an even bigger advantage than a traditional box fan since a blower fan's output direction will be more orderly aka closer to a laminar flow than a box fan. But the real advantage of the blower style fan is that its enclosure allows you to direct both the intake and exhaust portions of the air being moved.

  • The goal is the same.

    Scenario: cold air outside, hot air inside.

    Goal: replace hot air inside with cold air outside.

    Method: open one intake window and one exhaust window. Use a fan to blow hot air out the exhaust window while the low pressure vacuumed created inside will cause cold air to be sucked in through the intake window.

    Maximize efficiency of method: follow video posted.

  • Lots of other places do too. That's why true city size should be counted as the metropolitan population, not just the city borders. In that case, Houston is 5th, beaten by Dallas/Fort Worth at 4th, which surprisingly means Texas has 2 metropolitan areas out of in the top 5 in the country.

  • Not OP, so can't comment on the vaccine part but the "modern medicine isn't modern" is actually a cute analysis. When it comes the healing major woulds, even ones inflicted intentionally like during surgery, we don't actually know how to heal the body. We know how to clean the wound. We know how to remove malignant tissue. But we don't actually know how to heal the wound. The best we've got is "keep it clean and let the body do it's thing". To OPs "poison" point, when it comes to things like antibiotics, those are really just other stuff in nature that we found out kills stuff inside us. It also kills stuff we don't want to kill inside us, which sounds kind of poisony. Chemotherapy and radiation treatment are similar - just dose this person with this stuff and hope the thing we're trying to kill dies before the person does.

    Surprisingly vaccines are probably the most "modern" example we have of medicine, especially the RNA stuff.
