never trust a guy who can’t throw a baseball.

Cant figure out how to throw a ball and he’s a scientist? Lol

I think at that same game he was sitting in the stands next to a couple of people and his mask was down around his chin. When he got called out on it he just dismissed it.

Sounds about right.

Honestly, in a weird way, this makes me feel better about the whole thing. I’d be more concerned if he was wearing it.

Im actually anti-boat guy. But I like the color scheme.

We’re grey with a nice Pacific blue for shutters.

But in general, I’m at Kinkos straight makin copies.

This would also need a different home construction design to really be effective. Sure, cooling the attic will help with A/C efficiency, but there's R30+ insulation between my living space and that now cooler air.

So the paint sends radiation right back into the atmosphere. Does this help with climate change?

I think you need a better understanding of "radiation"

that's a dumb rule

it’s more of a guideline than a rule.

I don't trust Conor McGregor to prepare my tax return, either.

"Making this paint really reflective, however, also made it really white, according to Purdue University. The paint reflects 98.1% of solar radiation while also emitting infrared heat. Because the paint absorbs less heat from the sun than it emits, a surface coated with this paint is cooled below the surrounding temperature without consuming power."

@Gatorchip makes a good observation. The article says "reflect". That solar radiation is being reflected somewhere. Back into the atmosphere? Into neighboring houses? Trees & grass?

While this ultra-white paint might have an advantage for the user, it could have unaccounted for disadvantages beyond that.

Atmosphere - who cares... No biggie.

Houses - I suppose that could be a minor concern.

Trees and grass - potentially a positive, I'd guess.

Could be a positive and a negative. Positive for vegetation that struggles to get enough and conversely could burn vegetation to death with overexposure.
