That makes sense. But I can see how people misunderstood.

My kids didnt need religion to grow into good people. I would feel bad if I thought then not to use reason. I would have done them a disservice to raise them to believe in fairy tales.

I never imagined I knew your world view. I was answering about why there's so many down votes. Using the phrase, "the word" like there's some special power to it is an off-putting marker for a lot of people. I did assume, like most, that when you said "the word" you were talking about Christianity. And specifically the New Testament.

I think the downvotes stem from his opening line that he has some special knowledge of "the word". It implies out of the box that those who see the world differently than him just have a flaw in that they didn't know "the word". Nothing about his question needed the preamble that implied any other views than his are defective for lack of knowledge of "the word". -edit for typo.

None of it was blind. You can see through every one. Also, the camera didn't have the contrast ability to show that I could see deep into the tunnel. Why do to think the corners were blind? Did you see some trees or berms that werent there?

A watt is a joule per second. It is not “directly convertable” any more than mile is the not a speed just because you can divide it by an hour.

Watts are power, the rate at which you can work. Joules are units of energy, how much work you can do.

He is not fucking up the numbers. He is fucking up the units…and so are you

That reference is garbage. The temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas is the boiling point. At atmospheric pressure the boiling point of propane is -44F. According to the textbook Organic Chemistry by Joseph M. Hornback, propane has a boiling point of -44° F (-42° C) at atmospheric pressure. 20F is is a problem because it is getting closer to the boiling point at atmospheric pressure so that more external energy is required than can move from the exterior of the tank to the interior to prevent bulk cooling to the the point where the tank can’t make pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.

This is the right answer. As LP gas converts from a liquid to a gas in the tank the latent heat of vaporization is provided by cooling the bulk of the liquid. Eventually, the liquid becomes so cold that it will not evaporate, it will not become a gas. You cannot use more of it until there is enough heat input to evaporate the fuel. This can happen in warmer weather when the withdrawal rate is too great, so that even then, you have to provide supplemental energy, heat, to allow the liquid to vaporize. LP gas, commonly “propane” but typically a blend of propane and butane, is difficult to use in cold weather for exactly this reason.

I get that you’re trying to be helpful, but playing the guitar well isn’t the goal. It’s ok that it is more difficult to learn as you get older, the point is to enjoy the learning. It’s unhelpful to discourage anyone at any stage of life from learning to play a new instrument or learn a new skill. Enjoy the process when you are free to take all the time you need.
