  1. I heard the brunette in the short gold skirt was into kinky sex. From multiple independent sources. All of whom spoke English, and read cursive. We are all engines of karma
  2. +1 We are all engines of karma
  3. NICE! We are all engines of karma
  4. I had over 2000 jumps first time I stepped into a tunnel. Went in by myself, and... OMG. You would have thought a lottery was going off because I looked like a ping pong ball in there. A few minutes later, 2nd jump, went in with a piece partner who had lots of tunnel time. Simply kept eye contact with him, and everything was fine, once I stopped hyperventilating We are all engines of karma
  5. Brian is fantastic! We are all engines of karma
  6. That high? Wow. Where are you getting this from? We are all engines of karma
  7. Yes, I saw those numbers. But, they're assuming ALL of the carbon goes to CO2. I've never seen any 100% efficient/selective reaction. That's my point here. We are all engines of karma
  8. I'm absolutely up for learning something here tonight. So, if we do an atom balance around a good engine, with sufficient O2, how much of the carbon ends up as CO2? We are all engines of karma
  9. quade, in my experience you've really never been worth the effort to engage in these kinds of conversations. I think I've explained to you before that I have a MS in ChE, spent a decade as a professional in the industry writing large scale math models that were mated directly to plants in real-time. I did so for a living. Yes, I took chemistry in high school, and for many years after. Most greenies do not understand full thermo cycles, IMO. We are all engines of karma
  10. So, you're saying there is a 100% conversion of the carbon atoms in the fuel to CO2? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency We are all engines of karma
  11. Quote Ever take chemistry in high-school? [/reply/ Do you know what reaction selectivity is? We are all engines of karma
  12. What's the combustion efficiency for a Cessna 208 engine these days? We are all engines of karma
  13. A gallon of gas is ~20 pounds of CO2? How much does a gallon of gas weight? Uhm, I've never been impressed with green math skills, and there is a reason for that. We are all engines of karma
  14. I've seen youtube videos of this guy. He wears sideburns. Dresses like a Las Vegas cowboy. Calls himself "anonymous....something", I believe. Probably 50ish by now. Good guitar player, including his Hendrix covers. Has a 3 piece band. Tours college towns. Carries and brandishes a .38. Comes across as prickly and snobbish, possibly dangerous. Invited Ed King (Skynyrd) on stage, then kicked him off while brandishing his gun. Does this ring a bell for anyone? We are all engines of karma
  15. Never met Mike personally, but subscribed to his magazine for decades. Always looked forward to getting it in the mail. BSBD. We are all engines of karma
  16. Yes, the very people that condemn others for being "anti-science", yet probably can't even spell thermodynamics. Isn't the nuclear recycle problem solved? I've heard the French have that figured out (aren't they something like 80% nuclear?). We are all engines of karma
  17. From billvon: From lawrocket: From kelpdiver: Sounds like we're in agreement that something is wrong with the process. So, if folks are really serious about CO2 emissions, why is this? We are all engines of karma
  18. I can understand billvon's point that these aren't Walmart permits. Are there sound technical reasons why it takes 12 years, or is really because of government bureaucracy? We are all engines of karma
  19. So you're saying that, even with well established designs, taking years/decade to site a nuclear plant is reasonable? We are all engines of karma
  20. I'm seeing a mismatch here in your own words. Am I missing something? We are all engines of karma
  21. Well, if CO2 emissions are such a big deal, and we need solutions now, and the technology is proven (...the French can do it ), why take years for an approval? BTW, Cuomo is actually trying to close Indian Point. It supplies >20% of NYC's power, and surrounding areas. We are all engines of karma
  22. Just to add some levity to the thread... We are all engines of karma
