what works with my normie "what's the big deal" is the following analogy:
this is akin to cleaning out your snowed-in driveway with a twin-engine afterburner from an F14 Tomcat - holy shit, it actually cleaned the thing! saved me a buncha time! and it cost pennies!
yeah, but:
And sometimes it doesn't actually remove the snow.
It actually doesn't remove the snow, which I think makes it a PERFECT analogy since you've wasted a shit ton of energy on the flashy,expensive, idea instead of just doing what actually works.
Just to make a counterpoint. Yes, it will! https://youtube.com/shorts/hlYtx4Xe7r0?si=B1yX0Tld8oFXZ_vB
Do you not understand how insane jet engines are?
I read it as melting snow, not just getting it off the drive way. But just blasting the snow from your driveway onto to street won't be a ton of help either since that still needs to get plowed.
