    It’s because the times aren’t the same. Maybe same unit but different context so they can’t be canceled.

    It’s like saying you work 8 Hours/day (Eight hours per day). Both are units of time, but their context is different and their combination forms a new meaning beyond the units.

    1 KWh is using 1KW for one hour. Because of demand pricing the time you use that KW is important. Like in terms of energy grid using a whole ton of power for one minute vs same total over a long time is different and important dispite being the same amount of energy.

    Edit: some phrasing


  • Could be steel rims. Engine blocks are typically Aluminium which have about half the melting point of Steel at only around 600C depending on alloy, which is pretty low in the metals world.

    Rims are also typically Aluminium but they are clearly not as melted so could be steel rims or the fire was not as concentrated there (core of the car burned out while the outside was bit cooler)

    Edit: The molten material could be from even lower melting point Al alloys (High in Silicon or Magnesium). Cars also can use some high Magnesium alloys that can have even lower melting point.



  • Modern Airforce would wipe WW2 airforce like it was nothing. They wouldn’t even see the F-35 or out maneuver their missiles. Remember they had no plane based radar, all visual, they wouldn’t even know they were already dead.

    Modern AA could hinder modern Airforce but the WW2 AF will eventually have to run Sorties into enemy territory or they are just patrolling above their own forces not doing a whole lot. There is a reason modern doctrine starts with establishing air superiority.






  • I been wondering people’s opinion of “Female” in some instances. Like is “First Female president/athlete/mayor/lawyer” appropriate? “First woman____” doesn’t sound right and you wouldn’t say “first man athlete to run 2 hour marathon” you would use male.

    Most things can be rephrased maybe, but obviously using Females outside these instances is very right wing cringe.




  • Grinding at strip club isn’t illegal, hooker is.

    It’s clear you don’t have the same desires as people who go to these things. There isn’t really a point of trying to understand why, especially if you question explanations others give.

    Take a step back and realize that dispite it not making sense to you, people are doing it and are enjoying it.

    I don’t understand the appeal myself, but it’s not some cosmic secret that needs unraveled.

    Woman pretty, woman pay attention to me (maybe), activity gives my brain the happy chemical.
