My iPhone went for a brief inadvertent swim in the Bahamas. Afterwards, it refused to charge due to the detection of water inside the Lightning connector. My companion is a collector of classic English automobiles (he’s Irish so I don’t know why he would want the automotive products of the country that colonized Ireland) and thus has extensive and bitter experience with Lucas electrics. “Use a hair dryer on it,” he suggested.

50kwh/year.. woe!!!!
Fun quiz. With the energy necessary to heat a given liquid mass of water from 0 C to 100 C (without actually boiling it), how high could you pump that same mass of water (assuming no frictional losses?

Getting rid of coal will probably be much more effective than getting rid of hair or coffee.
Although it could be a bit amusing if you had to have short hair to wish for the burning of less fossil fuels. I’m reminded of
