Not really. The men who CAN get laid will rule all. Which is kinda how its been since... the beginning.

RealDolls are definitely natural selection at its finest.

So instead of breeding women with bigger breast we can just get them siliconly enhanced?[/quote]

Even better:

No need for pick up lines, intelligence or even hygiene!

Our ability to reason, think and use tools is part of our evolution, folks. That means we have been evolving very quickly indeed, as our knowledge, cultural and technological base grows. Absolutely everything we do is a result of natural selection, including our manipulation of DNA, since it was nat...

Recycling the Theme! Woot! :)

Now I just have to figure out how to Reduce and Reuse the Theme....

<snip> Has anyone ever played with the idea of a non petroleum burning flame thrower? I know propane is the primary fuel, but I don't really want a gun if it is the only method. <snip> Sure! Lycopodium powder is a pollen that burns with a bright yellow flame when combined with air and lit. It is no...

Hi all! I was just curious (and perhaps this has been addressed already) but.. I think it would be helpful to have a section called something like "The Renewable Man" which has areas on Green Projects, suggestions, tips, and so on. The forum is a way to archive this content, and you never know when ...

I don't know.. I think that "taxing" is a really bad idea, yeah. But there are easier ways to put their values where their mouth is that won't alienate people. Like incentives. I happen to think that using fossil fuels is a Bad Idea (tm) and am in the process of getting my house over to self suffici...

Build a GIANT YURT! They are essentially arbitrarily scalable.. That would be AWESOME. Especially working out all the wigglies with the roof beams. Woot! I'd love to have this problem! If I had enough peeps, I could even do it almost entirely out of salvaged materials. And with the wonders of epoxy,...

Emergen-C is in foil packets, probably platicized. Don't pull the top all the way off and put the packet immediately in your MOOP pocket where you'll be putting all your trash and the MOOP you'll pick up along the way. Empty it in camp into a secure container. Hrm.. well I'll have to test this out ...

It's "always" easier to say how much greener a ridiculously expensive solar and wind setup would be than it is to pay for it, or to get it to deliver enough wattage! This is just a temporary, short-term use. The amount of fuel a small Honda genny will use in that time is a drop in the Burning Man t...

It is *always* easier to use a generator and lug in fuel than to use electric only, powered by renewables. *Always* That being said, check these out: http://www.batteryweb.com/ub_slavrla-detail-UB-8D%20AGM.htm if you have the cash and the load capability, 4 of these will give you 6-8 hours of troubl...

You do realize that your contribution would probably have been bigger with electric, don't you? Using a generator to make electricity is going to be less efficient than using it for direct drive. I know you mentioned solar, but unless your borrowing panels from your house that you use all year, the...

Go here: http://evparts.com and also check out the EVDL: http://www.evdl.org/ 1700 lbs is not too heavy, and at 7.5 MPH you won't need a lot of battery. BUT, you should get real deep cycle batteries. Don't use car batteries.. they are designed for lots of output for a small period of time. You won't...

Virgin here but I've been desert camping. I always, always put some electrolytes in my water. I take along Emergen-C packets and dump a bit into each container. This means I don't have to care at all how much minerals I get in my food, and I can convert pure distilled into "good to drink" in moments...

The AEZ has a fella who makes an Evapo-Tron, which is basically a slow track that dunks rags into the gray water and slowly brings them up and around a track. By the time it gets back to the water the rag is dry. I believe they filter out solids and burn them at the end. You could make something lik...

I HIGHLY recommend that you folks check out the worm wood society website, if you want details on Absinthe and how to drink it. It is an Anise flavored liquor. You *might* like it if you don't like anisette or licorice (my case). But, if what you drink is not (a) actual Absinthe or (b) prepared righ...

Hello folks.. my first post here. I know quite a bit about Absinthe, and am a drinker of it. There are posts here that are a bit off kilter, which is understandable given there has been no good source of Absinthe info for some time. I'll give you a link and a little dialog to try to clear a few thin...
