And they can fuck themselves

Stephen king has written more bad reviews about his own shit than other people have.

I mean, get it. I hate me too

Oh absolutely.

At the same time, imagine if the ballsy gambit had worked. He'd be a multimillionaire with a steady income for the low low price of filed paperwork and a couple court appearances. Hell, it was probably more effort than most rich fucks put in to get theirs.

Since he won the residency, and seemingly so easily, it's easy to imagine the rest of the dominoes falling into place and the whole scheme actually working out

Ah yes, the sun, heating up my car to millions of degrees with its nigh-infinite fuel source. As it does.

Yeah, insulation matters, that's half the point of the forge. The other half is the fuel you're using. Regular wood fires cannot get hot enough to melt steel.

Oxy/acetelene torches burn hot enough they need no insulation to nearly instantly liquefy steel. Propane cannot do that. Even with the oxy.

Anyway, are you talking about the live footage I watched in school? Where they clearly collapsed from the bottom, like a controlled demolition? The day it happened?

We had a half day

Different fuels absolutely burn at different temps.

I'm a welder and a blacksmith.

When you're using coal, you use an easily ignitable fuel, like wood or naptha to get the coal to burn.

The coal burns hotter and is harder i start than your starter fuel, and cannot be started with just a spark.

The coal burns down into coke, a totally different substance, which burns hotter than the coal.

Even still, on your third level of fuel, in order to actually get steel to a workable temp, you've got to add more oxygen, to make it burn even faster and hotter.

This is all inside a forge, a device that's well insulated and made to heat steel to a workable temp.

There are other fuels that can be made to work, and they all also require blower fans, to add more oxygen.

Or in the case of an oxy/acetelne cutting torch, a bottle of pure o2

Charcoal, derived from wood in a similar fashion to coke from coal, can sort of be used, but does not and will not burn hot enough for anything much larger than a spoon, and aimply can't get hot enough for forge welding.

Now, essentially a giant housefire, getting hot enough to get those steel beams to fail? Sure!

Why'd they collapse from the bottom, that wasn't on fire?

Your post reads like a buzzfeed article.

Next you're going to tell me to lay off the avocado toast

That's exactly their goal

We're currently using spectroscopy to try and find possible bio signatures.

Which our planet has had for anyone looking, for oh, several million years longer than our radio broadcasts, which have largely stopped
