Two is better than one.

Yesterday on Woot I bought two toasters. I only needed one, but two is better right? I mean now I can make 4 pieces of toast at the same time. I could give one away to the needy. I could make on into a robot. I could have toast upstairs and downstairs. I could have a spare in case one breaks. Heck I'm even ready for wedding season now not that I get invited to any weddings, buncha jerks. I really can't find any downside to having and extra toaster. I mean I don't really need two, but I needed one and they came in two packs, so what are you going to do right? In all seiousness though I only paid 15$, two toasters, shipping included on that price. I thought to myself days before 'Man I need a toaster, but it'll proablably cost like 30$, and I don't want to spend 30$, I could spend it on other cool things that don't make me toast.' But then I logged on to woot and I got two toasters for half of what I thought it would cost me to get one! I'm pumped. Anyway to wrap this up I'll do a product review when I get my extreamly cheap toasters in the mail.

Also recieveing toasters in the mail is awesome.

Toast rules!

This is the problem with France

France it seems is always at the cutting edge of technology and science. They always seem to be the first to implement something new and creative, however they implement things in the most ridiculous of ways.

Recent example: France is now home to the first CCS, or carbon capture system. The CCS captures carbon from power plants and stores it as pure CO2. France is now helping the environment by cutting carbon emissions drastically, but what are they going to do with all this CO2 they have now? They are going to bury it. Thats right, bury it in the ground. They plan to put it in depleted natural gas wells. Now I hate to be the one to say it, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

It's pure CO2, in large quantities. CO2 is plant food. CO2 is a desired component of many spray cans and other pressurized systems. CO2 is useful. The french want to bury it.

Ignoring the fact that they want to disregard the creation of a brand new high quantity resource, they are still being very dumb about this. If one of the gas wells they are impregnating with CO2 is effected by a seismic shift of some kind and the gas is disrupted a poisonous cloud will erupt from the ground, and here's the best part, it will be silent, colorless and odorless, but still cause people to suffocate as it sweeps across the landscape.

I recommend that the gas be used to feed plants in sealed greenhouses which will in turn grow larger and faster than normal plants. Higher levels of CO2 boost plant growth and with proper regulation this could provide the extra resource needed to make vertical farming a very real possibility.

The french need to get a handle on this stuff. I mean really. Come on.
