  • There’s also weird stuff how things like fuel consumption is measured. In the US we use “miles per gallon” which makes sense in a non-metric country. I was born in a metric country where we used “kilometers per liter” which also makes sense. But then cars have this setting for European countries where they show “liters per 100km”. WTF? Who in the hell measures things like that and why?

    TL;DR it’s possible to do stupid things with any measuring system.






  • I hate lawns. They suck water like nothing, require a lot of work and never look quite the way you want.

    But let’s keep things in perspective here. The big argument against lawns is water use. I agree. But in California, for example, all residential water use accounts for less than 15% of the total use of water in the state.

    If we want to save the environment we should start with what’s taking the remaining 85%.
