Hmm. Don't approve of drugs but that article certainly makes one think that there is good money to be made illegally. Maybe I could start a whorehouse in my garden shed. I was going to make lots of bottles of xoggoth wine but the bloody birds ate all our grapes.bloggoth

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostI wouldn't want to bet on it. How much heat are we speaking about here? I assume it's a fair wack above average the average household.
The gas discharge lamps that site seems to recommend are around 15% efficient, so the energy wasted generating heat will be around 4000 watts. That's about the same as keeping granny warm with a four-bar electric fire, so nowhere near enough to attract the attention of a thermal imaging helicopter in a respectable residential area.Comment
