    Arguably, hammers also have a massive impact on the environment. They are also part of everyday life. Building you live in? Built using a hammer. New sidewalk? Old one came out with an automatic hammer. Car? Bet there was a type of hammer used during assembly. You can’t escape the hammer. Stop running. Accept your inner hammer. Embrace the hammer, become the hammer. Hammer on.



  • No, it’s not and you probably intuitively know this already, but an uncharged battery burns almost exactly the same as a charged one.

    Here is a other way to think about it. Let’s trade “gallons of gas” for “bowling ball at the top of the slide” both object represent an amount of stored potential energy.

    Let’s arbitrarily say that you gallon of gas is equivalent to a bowling ball sitting on top of a 1ft tall slide. The gas tank is the equivalent of a ball sitting on top of an 18ft tall slide, and the battery is roughly a 3ft tall slide. If someone asked you which slide had more potential energy, you might say “the gas one”, but what we have missed is that the gas slide was built at sea level, and the battery slide is sitting on top of a mountain. Normally, that whole mountain’s height isn’t considered in the potential energy of the ball on the slide, but the battery fire is a catastrophic event where the ball flies off the end of the slide and falls down the side of the mountain.

    Basically, the battery has a ton of potential chemical energy in it, which is used to store a little bit of electrical potential.











  • Oooh… Look at that. Still didn’t meet the bare minimum to discuss further.

    I’m gonna make a prediction, you aren’t going to to go look up the results of the 2016 primary and post them here, on your next post. If you don’t, then it’s a pretty blatant admission that you have no interest in actually discussing efficacy of shifting party position by using the primary process, and instead you’d rather throw out ad-hominem attacks and bitch about the results of a primary that, statistically speaking, you probably didn’t even bother to vote in.
