Code Red -Climate Warning

[Joe pike]

Prepare for more restrictions on top of covid.

These Governments are ramping up the control.

I like to do my bit for climate change.

Instead of filling the basin for a shave, I like to leave the hot tap running for the duration of the task - gives the razor a better clean. Recently started using hot water for teeth brushing, again running the tap for duration. 
 

With foreign holidays becoming more expensive and less frequent we should all do our bit to make ‘holidaying at home’ more appealing.

[Joe pike]

Maybe  have a less hot curry for the greenhouse gasses.

[jamiesd]

Stay indoors, don't go out ?

[Redforever86]

I leave my fridge door open to help cool down the planet.

Good source of light too which should help with the leccy bill ?

[Fridge]

I had a a flat once , never had to pay a factoring fee and the stairwell lights were always on 24/7

So fuck knows who was paying for that

[Zeus]

^factoring fees. Good pet hate. 

I'm going to stop leaving the car running for 15 minutes in winter to defrost the car windows this year. Do my bit.

I make my own water,  it's so much wetter when you make it yourself.

That was you!?  Some filthy bastard did that in the Maryhill Mcdonalds last year while I was using the cubicle. (it was in the urinal actually) 

[BrianFaePerth]

Eh fill my pool with room temperature tap water, and let the solar panels warm it up. No hot water tap for me, that would make Greta upset.

Obviously we should be conserving water, but my filter will crap out if the level gets too low, so you see my dilemma

Water isn’t wet. It makes things wet when it clings to them.

? Water isn't wet?  Incredible thing to say. 

[maryhilldon]

The leccy bill for my solar panels is enormous,  worth it though to save the planet.

Wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material.

Whether an object is wet or dry depends on a balance between cohesive and adhesive forces. Cohesive forces are attractive forces within the liquid that cause the molecules in the liquid to prefer to stick together. Cohesive forces are also responsible for surface tension. If the cohesive forces are very strong, then the liquid molecules really like to stay close together and they won't spread out on the surface of an object very much. On the contrary, adhesive forces are the attractive forces between the liquid and the surface of the material. If the adhesive forces are strong, then the liquid will try and spread out onto the surface as much as possible. So how wet a surface is depends on the balance between these two forces. If the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are bigger than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material becomes wet, and the liquid tends to spread out to maximize contact with the surface. On the other hand, if the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are smaller than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material is dry, and the liquid tends to bead-up into a spherical drop and tries to minimize the contact with the surface.

 

Summary:

 

Wetness isn't a property of a liquid, it is a property of an interface. Thus, water alone cannot be wet. However water has a propensity to wet things. It generally has liquid-liquid interactions that are weaker than a lot of solid-liquid interactions which allow it to wet a lot of surfaces. However, there are several surfaces that won't be wetted by water.

That one doesn’t work, how could they use electricity?

You would have to state they had some sort of function a normal solar panel never had.

FFS. That's a mega whoosh.

No it’s not. The joke was that people were using energy to do things inefficiently or pointlessly. 
 

A solar panel can’t consume energy unless it has been modified. Hans uses energy to make the blades to turn. Your solar panel can’t shoot solar rays back into the atmosphere, therefore it has no means of consuming energy.

 

Its ok you’re a retard we get it.

Won’t need to when it’s 22deg in February. See.  Everyone’s a winner.

Certainly thinking more seriously about my move to Baffin Island. 

Likely to be one of the last habitable places, and also we can keep the riffraff out. 

Someone get me LGIR's EMail so I can start the process.

It’s the one I cut and paste from aye. Knowing that water isn’t wet helped when doing a search. 
 

As you were. ?
