Yeah, I get that people don't want to move. But... TyrReborn Send a noteboard - 21/10/2019 10:52:03 PM

Why don't they just enclose these spaces, and air condition the enclosed areas. Surely that's less wasteful than just... air conditioning the outside.

Have y'all seen this? Qatar is air conditioning their open-air markets and stadiums. TyrReborn - 19/10/2019 06:06:47 AM 777 Views
This is nothing new. Qatar has had indoor ski slopes for years. *NM* damookster - 19/10/2019 11:32:07 PM 202 Views
cold air remains low to the ground or something? *NM* Roland00 - 19/10/2019 11:32:28 PM 200 Views
Right, but... surely an enclosed stadium would be more efficient. *NM* TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:49:37 PM 191 Views
Well, the city was built... fionwe1987 - 20/10/2019 09:48:37 PM 456 Views

I think the extravagance is the point *NM* aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:53 PM 196 Views
Speculating here, but... fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:45:23 PM 419 Views
Why is it always the Gulf Coast that gets complained about when we rebuild? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 07:50:35 AM 423 Views
huh? aerocontrols - 23/10/2019 12:37:50 PM 402 Views
Re: huh? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:52:29 PM 408 Views
That may simply be because earthquakes are less frequent than hurricanes, especially now *NM* fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:46:47 PM 194 Views
They're less frequent, but we know where they're going to happen. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:42:15 AM 422 Views
No one is sneering... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 02:05:19 PM 432 Views
You did use the word, idiocy. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:09:45 PM 446 Views
Fair. But I don't mean it at an individual level. I think... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 08:46:06 PM 472 Views
Re: huh? aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 06:01:36 PM 409 Views
That means we need to abandon places where millions of people live. Just in the US. Ghavrel - 28/10/2019 02:24:36 AM 454 Views
Please read my 2nd paragraph again aerocontrols - 28/10/2019 04:06:32 PM 372 Views
Aerocontrols do you think Augusta Kansas should not exist? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:35:22 AM 410 Views
I think there's an argument to be made aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 05:50:26 PM 412 Views
But the Halloween flood of 98 was not like that Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:41:28 PM 353 Views
Augusta flooded again last spring. aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 08:24:39 PM 421 Views
A little over sensitive? damookster - 23/10/2019 08:21:39 PM 392 Views
Very. I had enough of people blaming us for Katrina to last a lifetime. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:53:44 PM 200 Views
to my point, however.... damookster - 23/10/2019 10:27:04 PM 421 Views
I don't really know how that's relevant though. I'm not talking about insurance. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:40:58 AM 409 Views
I guess my point damookster - 24/10/2019 02:03:08 PM 488 Views
Mookie why aren't you using the same logic about the California fires? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 07:53:19 PM 426 Views
because to the best of my knowledge, homeowners insurance in California is not unobtainable damookster - 25/10/2019 03:07:57 AM 436 Views
California Insurance for Fire is becoming a Market Failure Roland00 - 25/10/2019 06:35:28 AM 399 Views
As someone who *lives* in California Jeordam - 25/10/2019 04:38:49 PM 440 Views
Sigh you are missing my point I was saying about Scapegoating Roland00 - 25/10/2019 09:45:48 PM 479 Views
I didn't miss what you said.... Jeordam - 25/10/2019 11:35:23 PM 430 Views
Let me see if we are on the same page here. Roland00 - 26/10/2019 01:08:45 AM 427 Views
*nods* I knew what you were saying. Jeordam - 29/10/2019 09:53:30 PM 400 Views
Are you also calling me oversensitive Damookster for I had the same complaint? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:30:59 AM 395 Views
I was teasing Gabe. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:06:17 PM 385 Views
Sorry for misunderstanding Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:43:36 PM 559 Views
You do realize that all of Qatar is desert? Legolas - 21/10/2019 07:53:24 PM 413 Views
What I was really commenting on is, wouldn't it be more efficient to enclose those areas? TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:51:00 PM 435 Views
Probably. For the stadiums, I thought they did do that, not sure about the markets... Legolas - 22/10/2019 05:57:11 PM 368 Views
Most of Antarctica is desert aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:04 PM 395 Views
