Just wanted to chime in after the troll left his attack on you - your work is much appreciated. You moderated me one time and you were absolutely right. HN makes the internet better.

Thunderf00t on YouTube has done a 'busted' video on the powering homes with bikes thing (it's more polluting, more expensive, less convenient, larger, slower, and less powerful than a portable gas generator. "all you're really doing here is running human generators on bio-diesel") which includes a snipe at the "5-hour energy" drinks which have no energy in them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS99oFm33nM
