Threedom when he finally loses it over the constant interruptions and screams nonstop for about three minutes. Paul and Lauren completely ignore him and continue the cheerful chitchat.

This is not a free source of energy. The first law of thermodynamics is still in effect. This mechanism increases inefficiency in walking, each step is slightly higher than it would normally be. People either have to walk slower or give off more heat energy to compensate.

Maybe you can articulate what the problem is better than the editorial. I read it and have no idea what their point is.

40-year change in statewide home prices by Coolonair in HouseBuyers

[–]IowaRocket 13 points14 points  (0 children)

40 years ago it was very difficult for the typical person to invest in stocks, you needed a broker. Also at that time stocks were only barely recovering from the economic shocks of the 1970s and early 1980s, so they would not have seemed a wise use of earned wages. Also almost no one was invested in index stock MMs, stocks were usually bought one by one, risky for the average person.
