Most people I know would simply say 9:45 instead of 1/4 to 10 when looking at an analog clock. We were taught to mentally do some minor math, same habits, just better I guess.
Buddy is an alarmist, got called out, doubled down by arguing safety while claiming I need “understand basic thermodynamics”. The most basic thing that was up for discussion was survivability, and more heat gives you the best chance. It’s literally that simple.
Arguing anything else just shows you are illiterate because it’s about surviving, not it’s end feasibility.
Plus, having a large warm pot would allow multiple people to take advantage of the radiant heat, instead of one at a time hogging the flames and potentially burning themselves, because as buddy argued. People are stupid. So would they even know how to use a space blanket if people are stupid? See how stupid of an argument that can turn into being and why I didn’t bite?
Lmfao, I understand it’s fine, that’s why I know that heating up a pot with candles can be a useful source of heat. Your the moron since you’re arguing otherwise and your only argument is it’s “unsafe” you haven’t even used thermodynamics to make your point lmfao…. More heat is better than less I’m sorry your head is so far up your ass you can’t comprehend this.
You don’t need the bricks, and if you drop the pot on the candles it will snuff them… you say balanced on… I don’t think you understand the definition of that word. The candles are on a stable base. Knock the pot over and it snuffs the candles since it’s would cover them completely and is not flammable. Come one think Thai through just a little more and you would realize your scenario isn’t plausible here. Different candles and a flammable pot, yeah you have a little credibility to your point, but not much.
Why are both of you sleeping in an emergency…? One of you should be awake at all times to flag someone. You can’t ignore stuff you should already be doing because it makes your asinine scenario plausible lmfao.
They profited heavily from and endorsed not just protective piracy, they aren’t innocent, far from it. What they did was actively harmful to the community as a whole as well.
Don’t make a career out of a hobby, that’s why they got burned so hard.
