Something I heard about at work the other day - overshoot day.

Aether Cones are superb great sound great battery life but probably too big if you are asking about 'small' speakers.

my lad has an Anker one, cannot remember the model but it can kick out for its size.

Err. Ok.

Sometimes, when aiming for the missus' tits I overshoot. Does that qualify as an overshoot day?

I can't do a lot about using a car. I can get a more efficient one. I'm changing my car in Feb.

Last week I started to eat a lot more vegetables, I haven't eaten meet since last Monday, I do like salmon and I love butter.

I bought some soy milk last week, tastes like engineering lubricant used on milling machines.

That's one of the big questions that wasn't asked - they ask how efficient your car is, but not how often you change it. Building a car uses about the same amount of energy as it does in its whole life on the road, and far more than the difference between an inefficient and an efficient one, although bviously if you have to change it then it makes sense to get a cleaner one.

Like you I don't really have a choice to use the car, unless I changed my job - carrying multiple amps on public transport isn't feasible for an amp repairer, and my other job can't easily be reached other than by car either.

I could eat less meat though...

Ouch I'm scrapping my 14 yr old car and going on scheme where I change every 6 months.

Promotion of smaller families in order to solve problems we don't fully understand... one word for that - dogma.

Thomas Malthus was a great man, but his ideas are not cast in stone. The notion that over-population is a cause of these problems is incorrect.

ICBM

Very true, although the reduction in population growth - which occurs naturally as living standards rise, it doesn't need to be imposed - will help solve the problem in the end. It's not all good, and there will likely be major problems before we finally get there, but more technological progress is the solution and not the problem.

This is worth watching if you haven't seen it before.

Also in terms of meat production, the only argument I'm seeing is that we should be eating more rare steak!!

Indeed, that would cut down on our energy consumption. We wouldn't have to cook it for so long.
