  1. The best way to reduce the costs and pollution of flying is simple: don't fly. Most flight is luxury, not necessity.

  2. I wanted a new body, but I quit while I was still ahead.

  3. Nice work as usual, Joe. But you might want to try cold showers again. They are a shock at first, but then they are addictive, the colder the better- or rolling naked in snow. It makes you really awake. And it's obviously good for health- and longevity- as well. Try it. Cheers from warm Vienna, Scott

  4. A perhaps more interesting question: why do we have base ten mathematics, when base twelve would be much handier? I guess not enough of us have twelve fingers.

  5.  @Mynameaintcraig1323  Who really needs to fly from London to Moscow? It's a luxury at the expense of life on Earth.

  6. Interesting stuff. But no, Hero of Alexandria (born 10 AD) did not invent the pipe organ. That honor goes to Ktesibios (born 285 BC). Google is your friend here.

  7. Good to know. I'll try to avoid guillotines.

  8. If there was life on Mars, why didn't Jesus preach the Gospel there?

  9. War is hell. But it's also profitable. Here I, as an atheist, have to quote the Bible: cupiditias radix malorum est. While greed might not be the root of all evil, it's certainly the root of a lot of it.

  10. Hey, what's the problem here? As long as the miners have darker skins than the users, who cares? That's the basic justification for exploitation here. Do we want to live this way?

  11. I've also had lucid dreams. They are rationally explainable. Astral projection is not.

  12. We environmentalists have been right all along. Not that being a "I told you so" brings any joy.

  13. The Electoral College should be abolished. But the Republicans will never allow that to happen, because it's their only chance to win the presidency. Hillary would have won if the vote had been democratic.

  14. Yep. I too stole a bit of brick last week. I was hiking in the Alps along the Austrian-Italian border in East Tyrol and Corinthia. Beautiful nature, no cars, no internet. But lots of emplacements and trenches from WWI. Most of the poor boys stationed there died of cold or hunger, not battles. They made makeshift shelter of rocks, but also of bricks they hauled up on their backs from the valleys below. When will we ever learn? Nice work as usual. Cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott

  15. Dictator for Life, right?

  16. I suffer from Long Covid: my equilibrium is disturbed. It's harder for me to balance. But with a bit of practice, I'm back to at least 90% of normal, so I can function normally. My heart goes out to those who have serious problems with it.

  17. Climate change is not happening, because 1. It would be bad and I don't like bad things 2. Even worse, I might feel guilty for contributing to it 3. Even worse than that, I might feel that I should do something about it 4. And that might mean sacrifices on my part, thus 5. Climate change is not happening.

  18. Amazing stuff. And here we are.

  19. Agreed. Not that the last coalition was that great. Grüße aus Wien
