I love playing with my Lego plastic bricks!

I love playing with my Lego!

I love playing with my Legos!

So everyone you know in person says the second one?

"I play with my Lego often"

LEGO is a trademarked name

Correct way to talk about Lego bricks is to say Lego bricks

"Pass me all your Lego!" Is not a correct sentence. "Pass me all your Lego bricks!"

If there were 15 Lamborghini cars in a parking lot. You'd say "That's a lot of Lamborghinis"

Lamborghini doesn't have to worry about Lamborghini becoming synonymous with "cars". So Lamborghini doesn't care.

If everyone keep saying "Legos" for "Plastic Bricks". Lego could have a trademark situation on their hands, so they try their hardest to stop people calling the individual plastic blocks Legos.

It being plural is like a myth.

I have many Lego. I enjoy playing with my Lego. My Lego makes me happy.

7+6

You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.

I'd split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head

Same thing as 7+3+3

One million seconds is 11.6 days

One billion seconds is 31.7 years

In total approximately 70% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface while around 30% is reflected back to space and does not heat the surface. The Earth radiates energy at wavelengths much longer than the Sun because it is colder

No, the energy captured by solar panels wasn't already going to turn into heat to be released and trapped by earth's atmosphere.

If everyone had solar panels and thought like you, we'd still have globe warming

Energy is heat. There's no such thing as cold, just lack of heat.

Trapping sun rays then releasing hot air warms the planet. That's what your system is doing. Removing heat from your house and putting it outside while your electric motor throws out extra heat.

It just doesn't have the air pollution that burning coal or gas does.

I always found it interesting that Rolls-Royce had to let vibrations and noise in the back of their cars. Moving in a car without identifiers really trips with the brain.

That's why I use tungsten. The superior metal

But if every person thought like that, we'd get a 3rd party candidate elected

If the 300m people lived in the same area and you got a true random sample.

Sunsets at 9:09 today in Michigan

Sunsets at 8:04 today in California

Sunsets at 8:34 today in North Carolina

Sunsets at 7:57 today in Alabama

Sunsets at 7:38 today in Arizona (They are on standard time)

Sunsets at 7:13 today in Hawaii

Sunsets at 11:36 today in Alaska

Someone in Arizona might want the sun to set at 7:38. It's blazing hot all day.

Someone in Michigan might be fine with sunsetting at 8:08 with standard time.

Someone in Alabama might not want the sun to set at 6:57.

Someone in Hawaii probably doesn't want the sun to set at 6:13.

Even if you split up the 1000 people to equally represent all states, that's only 20 people per state.
