Halfey on How Stuff Works

How "light bulbs" really work? They should really be called Darksuckers. See, what they do is you turn them on, and they suck all the dark out of the immediate area. Once the dark is sucked out, you can see in the area. The more powerful they are, the more Dark they can suck.

Of course, they can't STORE the Dark that they suck in. It has to come out somewhere. That's why the clouds coming out of power plants are usually black - they're chock-full of all the Dark that's been transmitted back down the lines to the power plant. If the clouds are coming up white, then there's not much Dark in them, which means it's probably daytime and more people are keeping their Darksuckers turned off.

It's slightly a different process for your air conditioner unit, which is just a giant Heatsucker unit that sucks heat out of your home and dumps it back outside... (because 'Cold' is not as 'manipulateable' as the 'Dark'). What do the air conditioner unit do is actually removes moisture from the air. That's why it is called a Air Conditioner, not an Air Cooler. The cooling effect is just a byproduct of the moisture removal.

By the way, 'Coldsucker' actually do exists, which are used to keep rooms warm.

Is your curiosity cured now?

Halfey's Lolicon Life

Answering "Why lolies?" and "Why lolies never too young for you?"


“They're the best. Old enough to breed and young enough to make me nosebleed!”

“They're old enough when they leave school and they leave school at 3:30 so why should I wait any longer?”

“If they are old enough to pee by themselves, they are old enough for me.”

“If they are old enough to sit at the table, they are old enough to 'eat'!”

LOL! No offense people.

MAKE EARTH HOUR HAPPEN IN YOUR TOWN

A list of ideas you can implement, no matter where you live!

8:30pm Saturday 28 March 2009

In 2007, more than two million Sydney businesses and households turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour - sending a powerful global message that it’s possible to take action on climate change.

Just one year later, Earth Hour reached more than 50 million people in 35 countries across 18 timezones, and the campaign shifted from a Sydney event to a global sustainability movement.

In 2009, Earth Hour aims to reach one billion people in 1000 cities worldwide. If you want to bring Earth Hour to your town or city on 28 March 2009 at 8:30pm, this will help you get started!

Your Goal

Get the most people, businesses and government involved in Earth Hour and get them to turn off their lights for one hour at 8:30pm on March 28, 2009.

Making Earth Hour happen

1) Building your team

A good team is one of the biggest success factors for making Earth Hour happen around the world. Put together a team of committed people and organizations to help plan how you can turn out the lights for one hour in your area.

Members of your Earth Hour Team could include your friends or schoolmates, members of your family or your neighbors, the local mayor or business leader, or your local school principal.

Pull together a team of people and organizations willing to put the time and effort into making Earth Hour happen and you’ll be ready to get started.

2) Spread the word about Earth Hour

To inspire yourself and those you speak to about Earth Hour, check out www.earthhour.org to watch the Earth Hour video. This video will go a long way to inspiring you and those you speak to, to get involved in Earth Hour and to help take a stand against climate change.

Think about how you could spread the word about Earth Hour in your area, how can you encourage the most people and businesses to turn their lights of for one hour at 8:30pm on Saturday 28 March 2009?

Thinking small can be big thinking

We’ve created a website to help you spread the word about Earth Hour. Register at www.earthhour.org and recruit your friends to the Earth Hour cause. Getting your friends and neighborhood involved is the easiest way to be a part of Earth Hour and help make a difference to our planet.

Think big

Who in your town uses lots of power? First stop? The city. The city is one of the largest users of power in your area. Write to your mayor or present the Earth Hour idea at your local council. If you can get the city involved in turning off their non-essential lighting for Earth Hour (you can leave street lights on for safety), your town can make a huge difference.

Office buildings and big retail stores also use a lot of power. Write to the businesses and stores in your area and ask them to darken their buildings, neon signs, stores and restaurants for one hour for Earth Hour.

Ask your favorite restaurants to have a candle-lit dinner hour (using beeswax candles of course) and feature fresh “cold” dishes in the menu or use local products.

Write to your local newspaper or television channel and tell them what you’re doing - try and get some news coverage of what your town wants to do for Earth Hour and the planet…think big!

3) Be creative!

As well as asking as many people and businesses as possible to turn off their lights in your city or town at 8:30pm on 28 March 2009, think creatively about how to bring your friends and family together for the night.

Organize a “block party” in your neighborhood with “in the dark” games and activities, organize a movie or music night at someone’s house, look up at the stars, use the hour to talk about what you can do every day to save energy.

Think about the different ways to have fun with Earth Hour.

4) What to do everyday

Turning off your lights for one hour at 8:30pm on 28 March 2009 is the first part of getting involved in Earth Hour. Making a difference to the future of our planet by making energy savings every day is the second part.

When spreading the Earth Hour message, don’t forget to encourage your friends, family and workmates to turn off unused lights and appliances every day of the year.

5) Make it happen

Every town and city is unique and can bring its own special touch, identity and passion of its communities to create its own Earth Hour on 28 March 2009. But making Earth Hour happen is up to you! Whatever you can organize to help turn out the lights on 28 March – whether it’s a backyard barbecue or asking your local mayor to turn off the city’s nonessential lighting - will be a success. You can make Earth Hour happen if you work together.

Join us for Earth Hour at 8:30pm Saturday March 28 2009!

My Passion?

This is what I get from my passion quiz at facebook:

Your Passion Type

Passion is your middle name

Key Traits: approachable, enthusiastic, energetic, open-minded, positive, animated You are a positive spirit bundled with insatiable enthusiasm. You aren't hesitant about diving head first into new adventures and relationships. Although you might find yourself surrounded by people similar to you, you are about as open-minded as can be. You love to absorb yourself into different cuisines, different sights, different cultures and even different opinions. That's why, when seeking a romantic partner it's more important to you that they possess the same enthusiasm for life and love, rather than the same stance on a political proposition. There are few things you find more attractive and appealing than meeting that special someone who can hold his or her own in a debate AND go adventuring with you.

I wonder if it is really like me though.

Wait! It says "your passion is your middle name". I wonder which one it is.

Blogging Supremacy Over Forumming

Some people already asked me why I began to like blogging more than forumming? Here are my answers:

1. Because I have grown sick of many stupid forummer who are annoyed of long articles. What? Forum is or discussions so what is the meaning of discussion if not using long text or what is the point of discussion if we cannot use long text? That is why I say those people are stupid.

2. Because blog allows future or backdated posting, which is very-very convenient for people like me who have internet access only once in a while. If forum software has that feature I would have been stuck with forumming only, but too bad so far no existing forum software I know has it though. I think I am going to develop my own forum software with that feature soon.

3. Because it is one of the most effective to generate income by placing click ads. Click ads website has to be easy to spot on the net and unlike forum, blog is much better at this.

4. Because none of my posts are deemed as SPAM. Only the replies do.

5. Because I don't want to get confronted by some stupid people who dislike my ideas. I have lots of them (ideas) but too bad there are also lots of stupid people on the net who tend to confront me as well.

6. Because my posts fits blog better than forum. I like to write 'blogable-like' articles therefore they are more suitable in blog.

7. Because no other people may interfere when I am having a debate with another blogger. In forum, there are always stupid people interfering whenever I have serious debate with certain fellow forummer. What i mean by stupid here is those people only know quoting my 'opponent's posts and then just simply putting "I second that" or "+1 to that" and nothing else.

Quoting Supremacy: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly About Quoting

(In response to a comment here)

You once said opinion is opinion, but now why do you justify my opinion, saying them childish, this and that? Now you are eating back your words.

It is not about quoting in general here, it is about quoting long articles. However, if THAT is what you're talking about, fine, I'll just follow your flow.

There is a BIG difference between quoting external sources (to support your statement) and quoting your opponent's words to highlight them, only to manipulate them to turn your opponent down. While the former is acceptable for academic discussion, the latter is what makes me think you are eating your words back. Why? Because by doing so, you are like judging other people's words (opinion) by pinpointing at where you think they are wrong or in opposite to what you think or believe, like a hacker taking advantage on loopholes and security weaknesses in computer system. That makes quoting may become somewhat a crime (when you misuse it of course).

If quoting is everything then court trial judges would have approved quote-heavy arguments, and we would have seen quote-heavy arguments in court trials as well, but are there any? If debates mean the clashing opinions then everything must be explained using original words based on your own understanding. Remember, quoting only works if you want to point out at certain part of a long article, where it is impossible to convey your message by just putting a link or reference.

I must say here in academic discussion, we don't have such thing as quoting. Instead, we have what we call 'citation or sources or references'. You've seen how dirty political debates, haven't you? It wouldn't have been that bad if those opposing and arguing politicians are citing statistics and facts rather than resorting to quoting each others words, turning them into somewhat a mechanism to condemn and assault each other. In other words, quoting in that way won't resulting a fruitful debate; it will only turn debates into word fights. Even in writing essays, it won't give us extra marks for quoting. Instead, it is our own, original words that matters the most.
