For real. When I'm not sleeping, I am pretty much always available to work. I am minute-to-minute, and make my own hours and schedule. As long as I get shit done, nothing else matters.

We will meet one day, Riverman! And then you will share your long kept concert stories from your "gig bag of life." Only then will I take a "first step into a larger world."

I didn't know you worked at the DMV!!
 
I have long appreciated the 'environmentally friendly' electric and hybrid cars. It's almost amusing how much some people don't realize how harmful they really are in production and that in disposal, it gets even worse.

I'm all for energy alternatives but they still need apparently need to go back to the drawing board for the bigger picture to be an environmental net win.

Actually they already have...they decrease the amount of lithium by half every 5 years for the same power...project to be able to recharge all existing lithium storage with new technology by 2030....and cars are a tiny part of lithium use...computers and portable devices are the big market...any of us using a computer or cell phone is using the technology daily. Toyota is claiming they'll be able to recharge any storage unit moving forward..the world uses batteries for just about everything....oil companies and big rig drivers don't want this technology to be successful so there's a lot of false fear about hybrid production...I'm very, very happy with mine...also bought a solar panel in the local electric grid ....dropped my monthly bill by 30%...lot of folks are in denial about stuff.....I've embraced it and in my life, it's proven to be an asset across the board.

I read that the smartest man supposedly on the planet conducted a world wide think tank for environmental health and after deep research found the worst culprit was the misuse of color......black tar...tires...rooftops...roads...all intensify heat....black tires wear out faster than light blue colored tires for example...their conclusion is that color and clear cutting vast areas causes the majority of global warming. If you want to get rid of anything and protect the environment just drop it in a lava vent on the Big Island and it's vaporized...gone...history...volcanic lava can recycle anything we need to disappear...didn't find the article but this is the dude

But, but a blue sky heats the planet and creates global warming, while a grey cloudy sky cools the planet.


OK, I’m just messing with you. Good post.

I'm not the smartest dude around but I'd consider having Christo drape the poles and let them freeze over again!

Always wondered how some of you guys have the time to be on here all day. I usually am only on here on off days or late at night. But I see some who are on here what seems like all day every day.
How do you not get busted at work?
I might work 15 straight days or be off 15 straight, so I have no real "normal" times on here, but what about you guys that have a regular M-F gig?

Dude... you posted during the 1st quarter and halftime of games you were working... I'll let the Blazers know you consider them off days. :ghoti:

you use the term "posted" lightly....most of those were selfies
 
I work as a land surveyor for oil and gas development *GASP* in rural Wyoming.

I'm almost afraid to admit that to my former fellow Portlandians...

Usually check the forum either in the evenings, or from the front seat of a UTV in the middle of some godforsaken hillside miles from civilization (not braggin), if there's service.

My line of work is slow this time of year however, so lately I've been able to screw around online pretty freely.

And that's global warming in a nutshell.
 
I only mainly post in game threads during games I manage to catch. Other than that I will post occasionally if I'm bored.

As for what I do? I get paid to watch after slypokerdog. Someones gotta puppysit after him.

That's not accurate at all.

I'm a big fan of Michio, listen to his weekly podcast. Read all his books and got to meet once at Powell's bookstore. One of the great minds of our generation. Give him a listen, some of his guests are mind blowing.

I may have him mistaken with another article...thought it was him...color theory on climate change took me to his Wikipedia link so I assumed he was the guy..happened about a dozen years ago ...my wife and I talked about it ...sorry if I linked misinformation....just a first shot guess at the source

I usually check in when I'm not to busy scouring Goodwills or moving furniture for my family's antique boutique business. I'm usually in-between being on the road or refurbishing something. So I'm probably that impatient dick head in a large coat behind you at a thrift store line.

The coat that is 4 sizes too big
 
I think I'm on here more than anyone. I am a preschool teacher during the day but sneak on throughout the day mostly to argue with @Denny Crane, @blue32, @MARIS61, @MarAzul, and all the other conservative peeps in the OT....then of course after work im on all the time.
