I don't believe that childbearing is something that the government
should have the power to prevent. Discourage, perhaps. But not
prevent. That is a horrendous violation of personal liberty. And if
women want to be free to terminate pregnancies, they should also be free
to choose to become pregnant and to carry them to term. Doesn't mean
the government should subsidize them, just that the government should
not make it illegal.

Okay, we are talking about different things. I am talking about whether
it is a reasonable thing for the government to dictate to people how
many children they can have. I do not feel it is reasonable, because it
is a gross violation of personal civil liberties and a two-faced comment
on reproductive freedom -- a totally consistent approach on reproductive
freedom being that that you might not ever want to have an abortion or
have more than two children -- the two sides of the reproductive freedom
coin -- but you should respect the choice of someone else who chooses to
either have an abortion or have more than two children. As far as some
people here, what's good for the goose (abortion proponents) is not
what's good for the gander (those who wish to have more than two
children).
It's a more libertarian stance, I suppose, but of course, I suppose
there are libertarians (of which I am not one, I don't think) who are
hypocritical when it comes to this issue.

On the other hand, complete personal liberty on procreation
is what completely destroys so many third world economys.
Particularly when arseholes like the roman catholic church and the moslems go out
of their way to enourage the stupid to have as many brats as is physically possible.

Then there's the real world where that personal freedom
ensures that the country cant hope to progress economically.

Thats all very well in the modern first world where every single country
isnt even self replacing on population now if you take out immigration,
but its academic cloud cuckooland with the third world.

Nothing whatever to do with privilege at all.

That *is* a transformer (or it contains a transformer); we're talking
about the "old school" ballasts, which are just inductors.
But what I said before about not bothering arguing w/this asshole still

They clearly dont have a clue about the difference between a ballast and a transformer.
A transformer has two separate windings, a ballast/choke/inductor has just one.

Anthony has covered the EER bit, but there is more in choosing an AC.
There's also something called Energy Star. Energy Star appliances use
less electricity.
A 10.7 EER Energy Star AC can potentially use much less electrify
than a non Energy Star 10.7 EER AC.
Generally the savings will come when the AC is not at max cooling.
Energy Star ACs tend to have energy savings modes. For example, in a
"regular" AC the fan runs all the time, whether the compressor is
running or not. So you are always using the sizable amount of energy the
fan draws, whether you are cooling or not. In other words Energy Star
appliance can use dramatically less power while idling.
Another common feature is automatic fan speeds. When there is a lot of
cooling to do, the fan automatically runs faster. When it is just
maintaining a temp, it will run slower and quieter.
They may also have sleep modes that let the room warm up a bit after a
time delay, and then cycle back to the set temperature for when you are
getting up again.
All these features are switchable and you can enable or defeat them.
I'd buy a better AC. I upgraded my window ACs last year and I'm much
happier with the new units even if I wasn't saving energy. I love the
remote and the quieter operation. And electricity pricing can only go up.
I just sent someone off to buy a 600BTU AC. The 10.8 EER Energy Star
was $138 (Lowes), the cheapest "regular" was $85 and was a 9.0 (Brand
Smart).

More of a pain than it's worth for a lousy 65 newspapers. You have to
go pick it off your lawn or drive 65 times. Presumably, you are not
providing a tip so you are not a valued customer. The paper rep will
bug you for continued delivery at the end of the 13 weeks. They may
forget to quit delivery and then you have to deal with that.
You have already wasted more time on it then it's worth.

Did they just start dropping it off or did you request it? If it is
the latter you should read the small type as you may have given them
permission to bill you after the 13 weeks.
For years I have had the SF Chronicle and the NY Times delivered. The
Chron seems unable to deliver a dry paper. On many days I got a soggy SF
paper next to a dry NY Times. I have a home office but recently canceled
the Chron except for Sunday (the coupons more than cover the cost).I go
through their website quickly and the next time the world ends I will
drive to the nearest vending box.
I keep the Times because it is worth the price, I like having
something to read when riding public transit or going out to lunch and
there are stories in the print edition that are shorter or do not appear
on the web site.

No, they did it to the entire neighborhood. I guess I'll stop it soon,

They might burn better if soaked in wax or oil first (not gasoline).
