Introducing The Eject Powerstrip

[OvrrDrive]

All of the things I have that continue to use power when they're turned off need it for one reason or another. I'll just leave them plugged in.

I reside on the "this thing is stupid" bandwagon...

 

[FLECOM]

It would be nice to have a power strip that had a on/off switch for each plug area. That way I wouldn't turn off all devices plugged into it; I could selectively choose.

I consider the posted idea silly. It's not that hard to pull on the end of the cord. Who wants to completely unplug the cord? I just want to disconnect it from the power.

you mean like this?

Congrats, you can link to wikipedia?

Doesn't take that long to find fault with the pseudo-science of global warming deniers.

Doesn't take long to find faults with global warming advocates pseudo-science either. Theirs looks prettier because they have hundreds of millions of dollars to cover up their tracks with, and a large brainwashed base to go along with it.

...and contaminates our landfills with mercury as we dispose of them.

You do realize that you are supposed to recycle them. In most places it is illegal to throw away fluorescent light bulbs.

As someone else said,burning coal puts off mercury. With CF bulbs proper disposal prevents any of the toxic metals from going into the environment.

Doesn't matter. It will happen. Expecting recycling to happen is a pipe-dream.

Of course not everyone will recycle and many will end up in landfills. But businesses do and many people do. Overall the environmental impact of CF bulbs is much lower than conventional bulbs.

There is nothing we can do to eliminate the human stupidity factor. I however do get a kick out of watching people break florescent bulbs on you tube and then sit there breathing in the cloud of Mercury vapor that was released. Idiots.

Doesn't take long to cherry-pick faults with global warming advocates pseudo-science either.

Fixed.

Recommendation: Don't watch news or documentaries on GW. Stick to the science. And read all of it, not just what fits your view. The link I provided to wikipedia presents both sides and is therefore a fair starting point.

I haven't seen "An Inconvenient Truth" either--not interested in ANY propaganda, thank you. It's worth checking the wiki for refutations of that work, as well.

I would make the same recommendations to the Christian Scientists out there "researching" Intelligent Design, but I think I've hijacked this thread enough...

Businesses recycle?

 

[Weenis]

yeah they do, they get tax breaks for it.

lulz, I've been through the college courses at U of M that discuss those "global warming" issues. (took Chemistry, Atmospheric Chemistry, Environmental Science & Technology Studies, and Astronomy) We went into the issue pretty far in depth, especially in the Environmental STS 300 level class since it was a hot button issue. The science is inconclusive due to the historical past completely contradicting the arguments put forth today by global warming's political advocates and scientists. My professors even being how liberal they are consider the hype a joke.

In the end, I'll do what it takes to save myself the cost of energy in my own home, and do what is best not to pollute the environment with toxins. However, if you have given yourself to the global warming hype community, you have a lot of studying to do and many classes to take that will show opposing viewpoints to prove many of the advocate's arguments incorrect based off legitimate scientific data and historical climate studies.

I just want to know, if this whole Global warming concept is real, then why the hell am I still freezing here in Michigan.

Almost every day I walk outside, I pray for a little Global Warming, lol, even if it's just a degree, lol.


Anyways, I'm just kidding. lol

 

[DeFex]

if you insist on doing it THAT way then why not use guitar type foot switches so you can switch them back on. those would probably cost about the same and not break as easy as those things.
