    Best documentary about plastics ever, really i'm not kidding you must see this

    Guys watch it, really if not for an environmental standpoint, do it for entertainment. It has really phenomenal clips. One was how they dissected a random ocean bird and found tons of plastic in its stomach.

    http://www.megavideo.com/?v=89SVWWM6 (you are limited to 72 minutes of video in average, just let the video store in the buffer and disconnect from the net, then you can watch it in peace) Really some clips are unbelievable. The oceans are a plastic soup...you'll see what i mean.

    More important than private investments is a stable government, that can focus resources on a particular need.

    Off the grid living

    Yes, i can't deny that, but as technology advances tasks that were once hard are now much easier. And i believe today we have enough technology to make this style possible for more people than previously possible. Sure if your plan is to make yourself a fusion reactor you probably couldn't do...

    What are the benefits, it's more from an ideological POV. But then again, you can monitor your own quality, you are not bound by taxes. I live in a more arid area. Water storage has been used here for irrigation, which is what i'm doing right now. For drinking water i haven't yet decided...

    Yes, because being an accountant at Wal-mart or a game programmer is so much more meaningful? No really, i don't understand replies such as this.

    Off the grid living

    It's a concept i'm much interested in. Water: The average person (in our country) consumes 120l/day, make that 165l/day. Monthly that would mean ~5000l per month. This is how big one looks like (a 5000l tank, Solaris, a water tank): If you dig them underground you can easily make at least 5...

    Capitalism: A love story

    If we put aside the ad hominem arguments against Moore, what are some legitimate critics of this movie? Corporations clearly and borderline legally manipulated politics. Bribery, hidden deals, infiltration,... How does on actually minimize this from happening? Maybe from time to time an armed...

    I need sci-fi horror

    Sunshine was IMO very disappointing. But compared to Dark Floor it is gold. Did i say how bad Dark Floor is? Oh yeah, seems i did. It's really, really bad. It's worse than you can imagine. So bad i just have to repeat it over and over to make the bad taste in my mouth disappear. Like...

    Dark Floors..WHAT A LOAD OF CROCKSHIT! I'm 40 minutes in and i've already facepalmed once, rolled my eyes twice. How can you spend 4 million on it and sleep at night!!! Every minute is like torture. edit: pain, PAIN! Please avoid this movie if you care about yourself. edit#2: Why the ****...

    Bicycle Helmets

    Exactly what i'm trying to say, but you didn't seem to understand me correctly. The helmets i have, have very little elastic foam, the bulk of it is Styrofoam. This thing is very hard, it does not compact easily especially if the surface area is large. Dense rubber foam would be better to...

    I want both aspects to be included, not just the rare occasions where you might get a fatal blow.

    Bicycle Helmets

    In most bicycle accidents you won't hit with that much force. And a thicker shell and foam would not really prevent breakage. Modern cars are made so they squish...bicycle helmets and other are really poor at squishing. Making a steel one would of course be worse because you'd make it rigid...
