Effect Does Not Translate Directly From Equation To Reality

 Ev <>Er

Hairy and Herr D have both approved of nakedvillainy.com, though for different reasons. Herr D enjoyed the 'practical, however conservative, centrist enough to be sane' views and said that blogger presenting occasional fiction was 'fun.' Hairy said he didn't understand the humor and didn't like the lack of supporting math, but DID like the issues concentrated upon. The issue came up about emissions being changed by the United States only and the likely results.

Comment supplied:

1. HAIRY UNAVAILABLE BUT MADE SIMILAR REQUEST BEFORE MIGRATING TO CHECK OUT ARCTIC.

2. DATA AVAILABLE SUGGESTS THAT U.S.' 15% WOULD NOT TRANSLATE DIRECTLY TO 15% IMPROVEMENT, WHERE IMPROVEMENT IS (-) BECAUSE:

  A. INFLUENCE BY EXAMPLE, (+7% TO -10%)

  B. REBOUNDING OXYGEN 'PLUME' IN ATLANTIC (+3% TO -5%)

  C. STORM SYSTEMS 'REBALANCING' EFFECT CONTAINING MORE CARBON IN PRECIPITATION AND THEREFORE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT. (-1% TO -7%)

  D. ESCALATION OF ATMOSPHERIC POISONING DUE TO WORSENING CONDITIONS CAUSED BY OTHER COUNTRIES NON-CHANGE. (+5% TO 0%)

3. THESE AND OTHER VARIABLES SUGGEST EXTRAPOLATION TO NOT BE A WORTHY EXERCISE. ALL POSSIBLE FUTURES ARE RIFE WITH PRIME MOVERS BEING INTER-RELATED.

4. CITATIONS:  PRECIPITATION CLEANING EFFECT APPROXIMATED FROM AGRONOMY SITES RELATED TO VPI & SU AGRONOMY PROGRAM. AIR QUALITY INFORMATION (B & D) APPROXIMATED FROM DATA CITED IN STUDY REGARDING INCIDENCE OF POISON-RESISTANT ALGAE IN AFRICAN RIVERS. SOCIOLOGY DATA TAKEN FROM STUDY IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING NEIGHBORS OF A SOCIOLOGIST COMPLYING WITH LOCAL REQUEST NOT TO WATER LAWNS.

Maybe Just The Tax Man Leeching A Gray Water Area

1. Current programming requires an entry for human calendar month of March. 
2. Hairy is still swimming to the north and largely unavailable.
3. Recent chatbox observation revealed popular opinion that a former blog entry was incorrect.
4. Herr D, on receiving question, responded with:

It wouldn't surprise me at all that it happened backwards from what he thought. If Maryland instigated the tax BECAUSE  people were saving too much money by using gray water, then they've just punished people for doing environmental work again, instead of incentivizing it.
Government usually IS backward.
It still is a good way to save money and help the environment.

Herr D designed "Gray Water Demo" on heromachine.com.

I had a small argument with Herr D today about this picture. I told him I thought the green in the barrel was emphasizing toxicity. He said it's a color that makes most people think of money.

His references to stereotypes about color were -- colorful.

Ha! Well put, Shelob. He said that neon glowing green would be his choice for obviously toxic waste. In the end, he does know stereotypes better than me.

Shelob put me on this topic because of the arguments in Maryland about the so-called 'rain tax.' I have to know, because I couldn't find out any other way--             Is there a 'gray water' exception? The problem is runoff. If people deal with it properly, then maybe they shouldn't pay it. The newsfeeds Shelob prepared didn't mention it, and I'm not going to hack into the legal code.

I asked Herr D to illustrate how easy it is to make a gray water assembly from a roof. He says he's made a few for clients out of old water tanks and used barrels. He says that any old garden hose with leaks can be drilled with a good drill bit and 'mashed into the hole in a barrel.'

 I guess if you don't make the right size hole you should use concrete or mortar to seal around the hose.

Gray water kits are available through various merchants.

Sure they are! But if you don't want to be paying taxes, I would assume you don't mind borrowing a few tools and picking up some trashable odds and ends instead of buying something outright. Besides, then you don't also have to pay for the water to water your lawn as often. I CAN say from experience--

Rephrase.

I can say from, uh, my preliminary research, that the runoff from Maryland doesn't taste as good to . . . the fish and plankton as the runoff from Virginia except for a few small properties I've turned in anonymously to the authorities already. Will that do, Shelob?

Yes.

Okay. Question for the day. Who's done gray water stuff before, what sort of plants shouldn't you water with them (Shelob couldn't find any,) and is there a gray water exception to the rain tax?

"Gray Water," Herr D, heromachine.com. When I asked him about rights on this,
 he said, "Spread it around; no one should have exclusive rights to this!" --I
 would have to agree with that. --Hairy Deewon
