Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

Or, is it kinda like the staff of Shockley Semiconductor quitting that company and banding together to form 'Intel'? The "those who know" identification is a facile argument that can be pointed in any direction; that makes it virtually useless.

There was a heatwave in France. People died. I was on holiday there at the time. when I was hot, I simply swam in a lake or the sea. no big deal. Only idiots die of temperature.

No, the only things people need are food, water, and oxygen.

Idiot, dropbox is a place to share pictures, it doesn't reveal the source.

Semiconductors were a new thing back then and Shockley did NOT know how to run a business. His co-horts obviously did know how.

And when was the last time you risked everything, even your house to fund a startup company ? Not long ago for me.

And shelter and power. You can freeze to death without shelter - it's called dying of exposure - and access to some kind of power make it a lot easier to stay alive in very cold weather. Prolonged hot weather kills people too, and enough power to drive effective air-conditioning can prevent that, if you can afford the air-conditioner.

A Scottish wanker wouldn't worry about hot weather, but he should know about death from exposure. It kills quite a lot of drunks in Scotland.

Talk about proper clothing.

If you have sufficient food, the metabolism will produce at least 100 W. As long as you have food and the cloths keep the generated heat at your body, you will survive. Inuits have survived on their long hunting trips.

Think about animals, the wolf has a thick fur and as long the hunt is successful, the animal will survive all winter.

In a hot environment you have to get rid of the heat generated by metabolism and in addition the heat entering from the environment. With sufficient water intake, you can sweat out this heat. In a hot but dry environment, you can directly evaporate that water. Things get uncomfortable, if the relative humidity is also high.

Think about Bedouins who live in very hot climate, the important thing is to have sufficient water.

Heat and AC are luxuries. Wear a jacket indoors if you're a sissy. Or get naked and f*ck each other.

It's high time they got rid of those subsidies, farming is not a charity.

That's shelter.

Wet-cold can be lethal - if your clothes get wet, they don't insulate all that well. The Inuit built up a lot of specialised knowledge to let them survive in their enviroment. and temporary shelters - snow igloos - were part of their answer.

We are a sub-tropical animal , and we don't have a thick coat. The wolf also has a den.

uncomfortable, if the relative humidity is also high.

Not so much uncomfortable as lethal.

And a dry enough atmosphere to let it evaporate fast enough to get rid of that 100W.

Try that for a month or two and let us know how it went.

Kinsey could teach Bear Grylls lessons -- particularly the lounging around a hotel suite when you're supposedly surviving on snakes and urine.

Sounds like a plan! The man has more sense than appears, at first sight...
